This requires both developer expertise and trust from stakeholders.

But, VeryBigHugeBankCo requires me to have 70% unit-test coverage for 'new' code, as measured by Sonar or whatever, or else I am simply not able to deploy my change to PROD.

So here I am refactoring a DAO, using strategy pattern and functional interfaces, so that I can cover my DB interactions adequately for that 70% metric.

No, I can't just use H2 DB, as the SQL is Oracle-specific.

Yes, there is very little actual value in the new refactor, except to check the box.

This is how we do...

My experience is similar. I tried on and off for several years to get some traction on adwords to suppliment my organic. I learned everything I could, tweaked campaigns over time. Nothing.

I then hired a reputable certified adwords company. Again, nothing. Literally almost zero conversions over a good period of time. I really wanted it to work, but had to stop the losses after many months of trying.

It could just be my industry though, I know some people do make it work for their business. So I guess try it, but watch for results and don't fool yourself for too long if nothing is working.

I'm in a similar boat, but I turn down jobs that require osx use. my current job I was told I was able to use osx, windows, or kubuntu, whichever I prefer. I chose kubuntu, and was handed a mac on day 1 because of chip shortage. it was the worse 3 months of my professional career, finally my Dell came in and I could actually get work done. I don't understand how people use them, I don't consider them a viable alternative to a nic environment.

all you people here surprise me, I consider windows + wsl a better development environment and more nix like than osx. but maybe I'm just hurt in the head and missing something...
Yes there seems to be a limitation with the same URL and iframe nesting. If you add arbitrary query params then it will load. This happens on Chromium browsers afaik.
You likely changed the wrong settings, like disabled it in the windows services, check the comment you reply to, I edited it with the official windows documentation explaining you how to disable windows update.
I've had the same experience. Suboptimal code isn't refactored because of the test code overhead, or, much worse, the tests on that same subpar code somehow morph into a perceived "gold standard" for how that code should work.

I avoid tests (aside from hands-on end user testing) as much as possible, actually, since they rarely seem to tell you anything you'd didn't already know.
From the post:

Also excluded are aircraft models have no fatal events involving airline passengers:

- Airbus: A220, A319neo, A320neo,
- A321neo, A340, A350, A380
- Boeing: 717, 747-8, 787
- Embraer: ERJ 135, ERJ 140, ERJ 145

Imagine if the US had developed them one year earlier. Would we have used them against Germany rather than lose 100k people in a land invasion? Would the indiscriminate use of nuclear weapons become the norm? There are worse nations and leaders throughout history who would have destroyed the world if they had the same tech. Of course I'm speaking from an American bias.

I should add that I personally find the use of nuclear weapons against Japan unnecessary and immoral.
I don't understand how Nevada or Texas are ranked lower than Florida. Nevada was filling up with Cali expats years before the pandemic (Tahoe for those with money and Reno/Vegas for those with less money), and Austin has been a draw for those in tech seeking cheaper digs for years. Miami and the Tampa Bay area usually aren't big draws for Californians, that's more of a Northeast/Midwest movement thing.

My experience was that the Bay Area was only progressive inside the state buildings. On the streets and out in the world, people seemed to be more "on your own" than the crappy little right-wing town I grew up in.

Honestly, with the Nimbyism and horrible inefficiencies in the public programs, California considering itself progressive is a joke.

>Good! They shouldn't do the refactor. Because "obvious" refactors often introduce bugs.

& if your tests arent catching those bugs and require extra maintenance to go green again you are doing them wrong.
Yeah a refactor that changes how you expect the interfaces to work sounds like much more than a refactor.
Weightlifting has been one of the most satisfying pursuits I took up as an "adult". Progress is so quantifiable (the numbers go up). And the side benefits of greater fitness, physique, and general mental wellness are amazing.

The work itself isn't easy (it can be incredibly tough!), but it's also not complex. You just go to the gym and put in the work and you will make progress.

(I don't mean to say that it's simple exactly, there are plenty of places to make mistakes and get analysis paralysis, but progress can be made with extremely simple programming. Pick something battle tested and do the work and you almost can't go wrong.)
Hmm, next thought: Can/should we go further--like GraphQL but binary?
Thanks! One of the reasons I started this project was to allow me the freedom that Agile and work projects usually kill.
People in general do not understand how nuclear strategy works. Almost everyone just goes "nuclear weapons bad remove them pls" (especially in Germany). The ignorance and misunderstanding is almost comical.
The conversation around reparations dates back to the Civil War, it’s not some new trendy idea. The aim is to fix an injustice done by the US to millions of people. CA should not do this on its own, but with the lack of leadership in Washington you can see why a state might step up to try and fix past inequalities.

You can disagree about how the US should make amends, but it’s very wrong to present this is a recent conversation.
I don’t think these are exclusive options.

I think it depends on a lot of factors and can’t say whether I’d like a shorter “peak” life.

I think it’s difficult to measure peak until after we’ve reached it. And I would bet my life, or the life of others, on it.
The Recruiter could have left, they could have been told it was Remote and the company changed their minds later, could have been a simple mistake. Why burn a company without knowing the facts?
I just spent a week in Morocco, a 3,000 USD per year GDP per cap country. In Marrakech, the modal service worker (so, we're talking about a guy who sells one dollar meat pitas, or leather goods, or whatever in a small store) speaks fluent Arabic, passable English and French, and probably at least some Amazigh. I got catcalled in German, Spanish, and Hebrew as well, just walking around shopping areas. This is a country where it's not unusual for someone to have a grade 5-8 education. I was in a Berber village where the modal young adult leaves school around age 10 to take part in agricultural activity; the village I was in got electricity around 15 years ago and is currently working on its first paved road. Everyone had conversational English, and fluent Arabic, native Amazigh -- this is probably an area where the GDP per cap is below 1,000 USD. Additionally, Moroccan Arabic is pretty strange compared to, say, standard Egyptian and so being a fluent Arabic speaker likely entails a bit more work. A friend of mine is currently in Nairobi on research (2,000 USD GDP per capita) and universally people speak fluent Swahili and English; most also speak various local languages.

In California, my social circle is mostly PhDs. These are phenomenally smart people. You go to a JPL party and the average IQ has to be 2 or 3 standard deviations above the mean. There are a lot of rooms where I'm by far the dumbest person. But most people I know are either unilingual or bilingual. Even in Southern California, a majority of people have sub-conversational levels of Spanish. I know very few people who are conversationally trilingual. Where I grew up in Canada, E/F bilingualism was somewhat common but very, very, very few people spoke a third language and most people had halting French. I'm in Ireland right now and native-born Irish speak English and a culpa focal of Irish, and that's about it.

What this says to me is that it's pretty unlikely that a country's tendency towards multilingualism is meaningfully correlated with education or economic status. And while I know the idea of measuring "intelligence" is completely fraught, I can at least say it seems unlikely that a random sample of people in one place are as intelligent as JPL people.

All this to say that in all three of the anglosphere countries I've lived in, people seem to have a mental block on the idea that a second language is essential, or that a third or fourth language are even feasible. Someone who fluently speaks four languages is considered a polyglot, a freakshow, some kind of Beautiful Mind. But then you go to Netherlands or Switzerland or Morocco and it's normal. And the reason for this isn't obvious to me: it doesn't seem to relate to income, education, it doesn't seem to obviously correlate with intelligence. It seems to just reflect some kind of cultural premium placed on language acquisition. I'd love to read more about why this is.
What’s your state?
You should have gone for it! The VLA is in an amazingly beautiful region. I camped near there once and had the darkest skies I'd ever witnessed, and I saw a massive fireball meteor.

Socorro is the nearest proper town to the VLA, with about 9000 residents. It's home to New Mexico Tech. Albuquerque is about an hour's drive from Socorro.

I lived in Albuquerque for five years, and four of those years I lived about a mile away from the Breaking Bad car wash... by the time I left, the RV tours were finally starting to trickle off :) Frankly, I found it a pretty pleasant place to live and I'd pick it over the SF area any day. People joke about "the war zone" down by the fairgrounds, and yeah that's probably the roughest part of town, but it's a small region and it still feels less sketchy that many portions of the bay area (I sure as shit never saw anybody smoking fentanyl out on the sidewalks). Almost any part of town north of I-40 is a decent place to live, and big chunks of the city south of I-40 are quite nice too.

The natural beauty, and the accessibility of said beauty, is incredible. I lived in the middle of town and could be hiking up the Sandia mountains within 10 minutes. In California, if you want to even dream of camping somewhere, you better have 3 different permits applied for months in advance; in New Mexico, you just go, and maybe you have to drop $5 in the kiosk when you get there. Hunting was amazing; wildlife in general was amazing. One night I hiked up the side of a mountain, slung my hammock, and woke to elk bugling all around me.

The articles DOES mention that.

150 is part of an "hierarchy" of sorts of numbers.

Roman army example:

The basic infantry fighting unit was a group with 120 men, that during formation-based battles (not all battles were like that) organized themselves in 40 columns and 3 rows. This was called a "maniple" and was led by a "Centurion" (cent of centurion means one hundred).

Inside that group it was normal to have smaller groups of various sizes (having subleaders for 60 men was common for example, and sometimes for 30 too), and informally thre was one guy leading each group of 6 or so people.

With cavalry stuff was similar ,but more formal, the centurions led "decurions", each "decurion" had 10 men under him. the Decurions were a formal position, but elected, chosen by their own men. Then 3 decurions were chosen to work in a group, one of them was the leader, and 2 of them auxiliaries, during battles the leader could lead all 30 men, or if needed the trio could split into 3 groups of 10.

Thing is, all that still matches Dunbar's calculations more or less, and this is mentioned in the article, for example the reason humans limit all-to-all to 3-6 people is because that is how far you can get your voice in a noisy environment.

When did the United States start using time zones?
The problem I see is that war is a very natural element of civilization that regularly relives population stress. It's been a part of human society likely before we even left the trees.

It's simply not natural to go for many generations without a significant culling of your male population.

I think it's not so much that humans haven't evolved since WWII, but that society hasn't evolved any kind of new pressure release valve.
Does anyone else use unit tests as a form of interactive development?

For languages like typescript and kotlin, I’ve found them useful in situations where I don’t have a repl available.

Custom react hooks are much easier (and faster) to develop in unit tests without having to load in a whole application. Exploring data models and their functions before implementing views is easier in unit tests.

I find unit tests to be a really productive playground and I think it’s great to have a place to later jump in and extend functionality in a safe space.
>the solution was building more robust applications and letting the HIG evolve around it.

This is literally exactly what is happening in libadwaita. The stylesheets are still there but the apps are more robust by enforcing the use of particular styles. I don't know what else you would expect here. In this situation "more robust" is always going to mean restricting the theme options to a subset which we know works.

>Unfortunately, the lead GNOME maintainers never asked for the community opinion

This is a nonsensical statement and is a misunderstanding of how open source works. Decisions are not made based on "community opinions" they're made by those who show up and do the work. It would make no sense for any open source maintainer to ask for "community opinions". Of course if you ask random commenters on Hacker News and Slashdot if they want you to develop all kinds of impossible features and give it to them for free, they will always say yes.

>Like I said, it has given us no functional changes in any of the apps

Again please check those screenshots in the blog. The recoloring functionality there would not be possible in GTK3. It's not very fun to talk to you when you repeatedly ignore what I'm saying.
I see a few possibilities:

1) Recruiter was misinformed and/or policies changed while you were interviewing. A lot of companies, including some of the big names, have been changing their remote policies in 2022. They're also playing off each other and the hiring market, so the situation is evolving quickly. Given what I've seen lately, it's possible that they were hiring remotely when your process started but they ended that policy before you crossed the finish line. (EDIT: Op mentioned scheduling interviews around the holidays in a different comment. With such a long interview cycle, I'd expect changing policies is the most likely explanation)

2) Recruiter was lying. I actually don't think this is likely because the recruiter would just be wasting their time. Recruiters don't actually gain anything and lose a lot of opportunity cost by running dead-end candidates through the pipeline for jobs they know won't be accepted.

3) You might have been switched to a different opening or department during the interview process. If the initial hiring manager declined you, they may have found someone else who wanted to pick up the thread. They should have notified you about the difference, of course.

4) Finally, it's possible they decided you weren't a good fit for remote work. Hybrid remote/in-office companies are becoming more picky about who they're allowing to work remote because not everybody can handle it. Usually the strongest candidates are afforded remote opportunities, but borderline maybes will be asked to be on-site at the start so they can be closely mentored.
Microsoft Working on AMD GPU Hotplug Support for Linux Driver
Yup. It is kind of a massive engineering failure. Everybody was doing exactly what they were incentivized to do. Everybody thought they were doing the right thing. But combined they drove the train right off the track. There was nothing in place to throw the brakes on and tell society to chill the fuck out. No amount of data or leadership could fix it.

The worst part is anybody who dared point this out was met with fierce vitriol, shaming and general hatred. We were all just expected to fall in line and those who asked questions got shunned by society.

In the first month or so it would have been possible for a good leader to chill things out. But eventually the thing grew legs of its own and nobody could put an end to it. Society would just have to wear itself out and one by one come to its senses. Two years later we are just now truly coming to our senses.

Unfortunately it will take quite some time for this event to be remembered for what it truly was: the first true mass hysteria of the internet age.
I have used GNU/Linux on a daily basis since 1997. And I must say that I am very disappointed with Linux on the desktop. I currently have two computers (that I was given by my employer) and there is a lot of trouble. On the laptop, the trackpad randomly stops working. If I kill -HUP xorg, it starts working again. The audio system has taken a lot of effort simply to keep it functional between distro updates.

The desktop machine, sadly has an nVidia card. Every time the screensaver comes on and provide credentials, it seems to operate at 1% capacity for a time period (that depends on how long I've been away from the computer).

Installing the nVidia drivers caused my machine not to boot any more, because SecureBoot was enabled. I tried to do the kernel module certificate signing, and failed (this process is a useful thing to present to someone who says Linux is ready for the desktop - good luck when grandma wants to sign kernel modules). I had to disable SecureBoot eventually, and now it nearly works, except the part about the screensaver. Linux is great, but the desktop system is a tragedy.
