That's great until a PM schedules a quick meeting to make sure your progress is tracking their spreadsheet line. And there are 4 or 5 PMs. You end up with your days split into 6 or 7 segments between quick standups and triage meetings and status meetings and emergency customer calls where you're brought in "just in case" and because it takes at least a half hour of concentration just to get back into the zone, your week has passed without you spending any productive time doing hard thinky work. And you can't even explain at the PM's next quick progress meeting that you're behind because her quick status meeting has set you back a week, because to her reporting status at a meeting of 15 people is how things progress.

Evolving underwater: Oceans board game review (2020)
"You want to work at a company on a strong growth trajectory for lots of reasons, but a big one is your own growth potential. You will learn the most the fastest at places that are growing fast, and have way more openings for promotions and leadership roles than a slower-growing company."

While I think this is a reasonable opinion, it's been my experience that companies who tout 'strong growth' are a cluster fuck. Communication quickly becomes a nightmare that is really hard to rein in. When that goes, there are a lot of likely outcomes -- none of which are good. Typically, the organization because fractured and siloed. That plucky team that punched above their weight, is now filled with a whole bunch of new people and the culture just became totally different. Now, there are a bunch of people pushing different agendas, and trying to get something done is no longer an engineering problem but also a political one.

You WILL learn a lot but, if my own experience is anything to go by, it will be lessons on how not to do things rather than "this is a good way to do things".
Some people just don't know any better or have starlight in their eyes and they manage to convince the business they need it. No brakes, no caution, no reflection on if they reallly need it. They just want it cause it is fashionable. Then when they eventually realize they are deep in a hole or it that it was the incorrect solution to their problem, then it becomes everyone else's fault (aws's fault, cloud computing industry blah blah blah) and they write blog posts about how terrible everything is, all while making businesses and other people trust us less and less each year. But that one clown not "using the right tool for the job" will never admit it or they disappear or move onto the next fad (he's probably a crypto bro now after implementing a piss poor chatbot somewhere).

Measure twice, cut once. Fail fast is load of nonsense and burns a lot of money for no good reason.

I know this is the classic thinking about these things. But working in a company where they keep bringing in new employees that are rude (the "strong woman" template), it has given me something to think about.

It's just not a given that reducing out-groups makes a company culture better. It can make it worse to include those groups sometimes. It's just hard to know before.

But it's morally right to not exclude people so I'm of course supporting that. Just saying it may not be a sign of a good culture even though we may think it is.
There are of course also people whose identity is non-binary, whose experience may be more difficult for cis people to understand, but are a better example of a gender identity that is not easily relatable to sex characteristics.

I found learning about fa’afafine was helpful to show where gender identities from my (Anglo) background did not adequately describe a material situation that is uncontroversial in its own cuktire.
If one applies any intellectual rigor to the question at all, the ample information to which you refer makes it clear why you refuse to define "gender", "man", or "woman"; you cannot.

> Latin is dead and is only academic.

Latin's mostly been kept alive thanks to the catholic church. The church operates on a different timescale than most organizations, and the audience of their documents and decrees aren't just people of the present.

When your organization is thousands of years old, it's very useful to stick to one language, so that you can read what your predecessor wrote 500 or 1000 years ago.

I am as far from an inflation hawk as you can get. I basically think that any government can both print money and avoid inflation bar external shocks with a modicum of common sense, e.g. don't pay people not working to piss off the French and Belgians: https://www.theholocaustexplained.org/the-nazi-rise-to-power...

Yet we did just that. People not working being paid for existing at a time when the real economy went into cardiac arrest by every measure of actual productivity. Instead of giving people money to chase goods stuck in ports the government should have spent that money on building up infrastructure and have people out doors away from covid.

Were I a betting man I'd say that the reason for doing this was to discredit left leaning economic policy for another 40 years, like happened after the stagflation of the 70s.

Not sure how you can say that, when almost every comment I've ever made to you has had some kind of calculation in it. Sounds like it is you who is attempting to dismiss arguments with hand-waving. How can solar possibly be cheaper per unit of power than nuclear? Do you understand how EROEI works? It's about 15x greater for nuclear than solar, which is about the most inefficient way to generate power.

>The shipping argument is obviously wrong if you think about it even a little.

Humour me - how, exactly? How exactly is it "not a problem" to ship and install several thousand square miles of solar panels? Just for fun, here's another calculation for you to ignore:

To make the 15 billion gallons of jet fuel needed per year (for the US), you need 7.5 billion kg of hydrogen, requiring 375TWh (at 50 kWh/kg H2). Assuming an annual output of 360MWh per acre of solar, you need a million acres, or nearly 2000 square miles of solar panels (just to remind ourselves - this is just for jet fuel for the US, as you seem determined that this is feasible to do sustainably. I'm not sure what we will do about the other 99.9% of total US energy usage).

A commercial solar panel weighs 40 pounds and is 5ft by 3ft. Assuming they fit, you can load up a semi trailer with 1000 of those panels, for a total area of 15000 sq ft of solar per semi truck. You will need 4 million 18-wheeler loads of solar panels, for this proposed 2000 sq mile array. I'm not the one "handwaving away" the obvious difficulties here. The Evergreen container ship would need 200 journeys, loaded entirely with solar panels, to carry them all.

Apparently, installing the panels is the easy part. Hooking them all up to the grid is the time consuming part. I'm not sure what hooking up a 2000sq mile array would look like, as it is somewhere over 1000x greater than the current total world solar capacity.
people who are the opposite of uptight are usually okay with unimportant disagreements, like letting other people be wrong in their harmless opinions.
I also studied Latin at school around the same time, was bored by it, but also found it useful when living abroad and needing to learn a language.

However, I don't think this is particular to Latin. In fact, Latin was the only grammatical teaching that I had at school. Vocabulary and phrases were considered more important than grammar, for all modern languages including English.

When taking lessons as an adult, my French teacher told me to forget everything I'd learnt; I needed to go back and learn the structure and conjugations and grammar like native French speakers do at school. That was where I found Latin had a benefit. If I had actually been taught properly at school, however, I don't think I would have found it so beneficial. It would simply have been another, less practical language.

Periodic SELECT queries seems like it would create big issues with transaction length for big enough tables (say ~1 billion rows and larger), because the transaction stays open as long as the select query is not complete. This will definitely cause issues on busy tables.

The operational aspects are pretty mild IMO, it's just another read replica from the view of the database. You indeed have to be careful with schema changes and admin, but that is something you already have to handle if you are running Flink.

So I'd say that for big databases, CDC is not all that bad. And if your database is still small enough that you can get away with "SELECT *" a few times per day, why are you using Flink in the first place?
Bloomberg has been known to publish misinformation themselves. In 2019, Bloomberg News was fined $7.6 million by the AMF (the French equivalent of the SEC) for publishing a hoax that caused a plunge in French stock prices. They denied responsibility, but that doesn't undo any of the transactions made in the French stock market on the basis of their false reporting.

I started something that I need to finish: I need to find the best personal note taking app for Android!

I use Google Keep at work on my work phone, tablet, and laptop and I love it. Simple to use, clean UI, I can attach photos, I can add sketches, and color and label each note. It's completely replaced my Engineering Log Books.

In my personal life I've been trying to go Google free for years even though I love Android. I've been using NextCloud for my files and notes for a few years but I've found the Notes app too basic. I can't attach images. It has markdown support but not much else.

So, last Summer I decided to look for a good note taking app for Android. Instead of figuring out my needs first, I just dove in and downloaded a whack of them and tried them out.

I've tried 80 Android apps and counting!

As I used the apps, I kept finding the different ways people designed their apps, what functions they included and became amazed at the creativity and interesting approaches (not all good). With each app my wants started diverging from what I thought I needed. I found myself wanting checklists, labels, colors, audio recording, and text highlighting to name a few.

As I shared my notes with the Developers, it started conversations with a couple of them.

If you share this passion, join my ride: https://www.noteapps.ca
100% agree.

If you are good at coding, then you code for a day and create something you are proud of. +1 to self worth.

You send it for code review or deploy and you get positive feedback. +2 to self worth.

A junior dev in house or browsing your open source project loves your code and asks for advice. +3 to self worth.

Compared to.

Go out to a social event for lunch, struggle through the social interactions.

Maybe drink a bit too much because you are stressed.

Get caught in a difficult spot when you tell someone they are wrong (which they were, but you were being rude).

Hang around for the whole afternoon / evening because you told yourself you have to make this work and get a life.

End your day without any self worth reward and struggle the next day due to the alcohol or paranoia of reliving the previous day.

This is the life of a few socially awkward (and usually high iq) people I have had the pleasure of meeting. And myself.

I think it is healthy to take the second option, get a life, learn to make relationships.

But it’s the hard option. Sitting at the IDE and being good at what you are good at, is much easier.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm down so far.

I realized I've taken on a lot of identity-separatism baggage, even as I strive to avoid it. I'm trying to counter that by intentionally reincorporating Marxist and other class-conscious frames into the way I interpret interpersonal interactions. It's slightly embarrassing to be a professional with a chewy punk center, but I remind myself that I too am a wage laborer.
Is it much to ask to have people who are academics, specialists in a field to have an aptitude for it? Like, is it unfair to demand that a professor is smart?
I think this argument makes sense in _some_ usecases, but definitely not everywhere.

There are genuine places where a FP approach to API/DSL design makes sense and writing code that abstracts away from concrete parameters and focuses on composition is important. Operators for function application and composition can now be used for a similar concepts on a higher level of abstraction.

Suddenly 'esoteric' syntax helps clarify your code and forces you to focus on meaning and intent, not syntactic details of your PL.
I'm a firm believe in "keep it simple" and "don't be clever" when it comes to code I have to maintain. But at the programming language level I want powerful constructs. I want to maintain simple and straightforward code in a powerful language, not the other way around.
If "tank man" was Iraqi, he'd be a pancake under a US tank. In reality, what the tank driver did had value.

I think people dislike her because she’s informal and popular in talking about a subject which is traditionally elite. She talks a lot about ordinary lives rather than great events, and she presents herself as an ordinary person, wearing trainers, with normal hair and teeth. A lot of it frankly is that she is not young and doesn’t attempt to make herself up to look young. You can see in many places there are very few women over the age of 50 on TV who have not been heavily made up.

All of this could be thought of as progressive or left wing but not in a way which anyone should object to! The only reasonable criticism of her I’ve seen is the discussion around the “ordinary British family in Roman times”, which was obviously wrong but made an underlying point which was valid, i.e. the lack of a modern idea of race in Roman civilization.

I think she has also objected to some aspects of gender self-id which would apparently make her right wing in a US context.

Nostalgia aside, there is one item that is at risk of disappearing within a decade or two for which society will be much worse off: that is cash. I mean physical money that is accepted by almost everybody, available to everybody, anonymous, and not tied to some corporation like every other payment system. Cash disappearing would be like freedom of speech disappearing. Many people would not notice but I think society would lose a lot of liberty.

Well, I suppose cryptocurrencies in theory could replace the role of cash but they are immensely far away from being "accepted by almost everybody".
Ah, the fun of naming hosts. I once named hosts using a long list of trees I found in a scholarly publication. The list also gave botanical names, so for a chuckle I placed them in the corresponding TXT records. You could `dig paperbark-maple` to learn it was "Acer griseum". The good old days.
12 hours a day doesn't sound like three full-time (emphasis on "full-time") jobs.

Three full-time jobs is 120 hours a week or more than 17 hours every single day, which would leave you with less than 7 hours for food, hygiene, sleep and spending all that cash you're making.
