But I mean, the point is, we're _not_ shifting it forward. It is moving backwards (and smaller; most estimates are now for a peak of about 10bn, vs far more extravagant estimates in the past), closer to the present than would generally have been expected a few decades ago. In the 50s, many people didn't think there'd be a natural peak population at all; they were going with full Malthusianism.

In practice, population growth tends to slow down and eventually reverse more or less naturally in advanced industrial economies.

I feel the opposite way. VSCode feels clunky and disjointed compared to the experience I get from JetBrains IDEs.

Also, both have 3rd party plug-ins but JetBrains seems to contain a lot more of the features I want as first class integrations whereas I generally have to find a plugin for VSCode and hope it's well maintained.

The problem wasn't Eclipse - it was Google's plugins that were buggy. I hated the transition over to Android Studio.

Eclipse's Java core is by far the best of all Java IDEs: refactoring, auto-complete, editing, etc. IntelliJ had earlier support for Maven and Gradle, but it was always a less-polished IDE experience using Swing vs Eclipse's native windowing toolkit.

I prefer Vscode to WebStorm, the plugin ecosystem is just a lot more mature, and I feel like Vscode is visually less cluttered and organized better.

But I would die before I switched away from Rider or Intellij. The auto suggestions, code smells, auto refactoring, ease of debugging, I could go on. It removes so much friction from developing that I feel like I have a hand tied behind my back when I move to anything else.

I often wonder if these people who recommend vscode as a "for everything" IDE have enough experience with the IDEs to know what they are missing by strong arming vscode into working for them.

As someone who has had dogs, cats, and ferrets - it really just comes down to training.

The bitey-est animal I've had so far is my current cat. Neither of our ferrets were bitey. The only time a bite happened was when our (at the time, young) dog backed one into a corner and it got scared.

It has all to do with supply. I was a Playstation person for the longest time, but I bought a Series S this time around. My decision was entirely around the market, if I wanted a PS5 I had to pay a massive markup, meanwhile I could pay retail for a Series S and get basically the same performance (ok not the same but for a casual gamer).

It seems the Japanese got the same idea.

I disagree, you’ve seen a few say they’re interested in a federal ban, but that’s not the majority. And if the polls are to be believed, who is going to vote for these republicans?

The majority of republicans reduce federal laws, not increase them. Some laws, like murder, should be federal. It’s quite easy to see the difference between the partial birth ban and overturning of precedence Roe created.
Maybe it's improved in the past 3ish years, but the last time I had to use Eclipse for a project I couldn't stand it. It may have been lighter weight, but it was buggy and had many fewer helpful features (refactorings, inline hints, navigation). I couldn't wait to get back to intellij.

I use NeoVim for everything except debugging. For that I (frequently) open up VSCode or Chrome to debug (NodeJS). I haven't figured out a good debug workflow for Rust, though, because I hate print debugging.

An offer is only as good as the buyer’s trustworthiness. It seems like they trusted Microsoft the most to close quickly and cleanly. The quotes around “firm” for Borland’s offer and description of laborious dealing with Xerox make it seem like the buyers thought $4M more was not worth the headache.

> a “firm” offer from Borland to acquire Forethought for $18 million in cash, with action absolutely guaranteed within the week (never happened), and an immensely complex offer from Xerox (after hours of negotiations) for exclusive sales rights to PowerPoint, for which they would pay something above $18 million. The meeting ended with a summary of the agreed directions to management: “Our real agenda is to get a clean, high offer from Microsoft.”

That's actually not a bad place to start. If you know that months alternate 31 and less-than-31 days, then:

- working backwards from July you get May, March, and January have 31 days; -

- working forwards from August you get October and December have 31 days

Now you just have to remember that February is special.
I've found that the best managers are the ones who are able to deflect those requests coming in using the techniques described. As a new manager on a new team, that's hard though since you still want to make good impressions and not get a reputation of a Debbie Downer. But if you hold to your guns, it's worth it for your teams' sake.
I had a neighborhood cat that wanted to live with me. He introduced himself while I was working on my truck. He would literally watch me work on my truck. He was always looking on right behind me, even when under the truck. (maybe because mice sometimes hide in vechicles?)

Anyway for months he would leave a dead mouse on the house mat.

I felt sorry for him, and let him stay in the utility room, and showed him how to use a dog door. (I would have kept him, but he ended up having a home. He lived in a 8 million dollar mansion, and was feed fresh Salmon, he hated the dog.)

I found all that out later. I couldn't let him in the house 24/7 because of allergies.

He would sneak in and bring on mice. The mice were so quiet, I didn't even notice them until he arrived.

I found out later he was going to multiple houses daily, and we all spoiled him.

He did want to live with me, but finally gave up.

I think some wild animal got him though. The wealthy family that owned him was devistated. People on that Neighborhood social site condemned the family for not keeping him indoors, but they didn't know he liked his freedom.

He lived a full life, but killed a lot of rodents. Which didn't bother me at the time. Well it kinda did, but rats I just can't live with.

I used to believe all cats should be kept indoors, but once certain cats are used to freedom it's painful to watch them suffer mentally by being inside. I learned where the Tom Cat phrase came from by knowing him.
There’s no DOM on the server and you only generate it once on the client.

I usually write it myself with Django, Django REST Framework and JWTs alongside either Vue.js or Ember (and their with libraries).

Truth be told, I usually hate having to do it. That said I’ve never found a reasonable alternative.

There are usually differences in each set up that require customisation (for example magic links like you mentioned) and trying to integrate a platform like auth0 feels like it would be as much work.

I also don’t like the idea of the inevitable migration when I need something else it doesn’t offer, it goes out of business or gets acquired.
Forethought was the distributor of FileMaker and not the developer. After Microsoft acquired Forethought the developer, Nashoba, directly distributed FileMaker. Eventually Nashoba was purchased by Claris which was a division of Apple. Claris was later renamed to FileMaker.

At least german office culture knows of a quite popular 3-month format in a physical printed wall calendar, usually highlighting the current month and showing the preciding and following months with less contrast. They are distributed for free or very low cost as promotional product for any type of business.

From my understanding Bürokalender as in office calendar is often used synonymously for this format in Germany, which can be seen as an indicator to it's ubiquity.

The format seems not to be that popular, elsewhere but at least in the UK it's marketed as shipping calendar,

I have given the problem of how to correctly compensate according to productivity some thought, and one idea I keep revisiting are auctions.

Assuming that you have a fairly good idea of what needs to be done and how to divide it up into reasonable chunks, I could imagine an auction where you just create a list of things and programmers in your company freely bid on them with how much money they’ll be paid for completing each task.

The system doesn’t have to be complete. Imagine auctioning off the top x% most urgent bugs to be fixed every sprint, reviewing PRs, etc as extra work.

There are some very big flaws with this approach, namely that requirement specifications are basically impossible to get right and review and that incentive structures are not well aligned:

- If I bid $5000 to fix a bug, but introduce $10,000 of technical debt into the codebase, then I just made money by externalising the cost.

- It makes you compete with your colleagues for buds and that creates a really hostile work environment that probably drastically decreases workout pace efficiency

So it’s just been an idea that’s been floating around my head, but maybe an econ grad student can work something out from this.

I have a PS5, but bought a Series S recently and since then the PS5 is gathering dust. Not because it's some superior console(it isn't) but because GamePass is just such a fantastic offering, and Sony's PS Plus Premium is just a joke in comparison. And the fact that nearly all games sync saves with their PC versions is just a cherry on top. I can play something on my gaming PC then move over to the living room and continue seamlessly - it's great. Can't do that with 99% of games on the PS5.
I think what I was trying to say is that the best performers attempt to understand the problem domain more holistically than, say, more average performers. What are the forces driving all of this and how do I deal with those forces in the most efficient way. Obviously, a dramatically more productive engineer also has deep experience is probably many toolsets, languages, etc., and that experience informs many of the decisions that they make when crafting a solution. However, I would argue that they have forgotten many of the picayune details of each, and only retain the most useful conceptual capabilities of those experiences so they can apply them quickly to some new and (seemingly) unrelated problem.
What always does my head in here is Wikipedia's claim or requirement to present a "Neutral Point of View".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_vie...

Theoretically, this would mean "representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic."

The way that Wikipedia justifies not presenting, say, Russian or Chinese views on global politics as prominently as Western views is that Russian and Chinese sources are simply not "reliable".

But of course, that merely begs the question.

In a way, it would be interesting to read a publication that really does present all the competing narratives, if only to learn what people elsewhere are told by their media.

The downside is that it would contain not just different viewpoints but also an even greater number of outright lies, as one would actively have to abandon any attempt to present the truth to the best of one's ability. :/
This is how I use NeoVim's terminal: run a command, visually select the lines I want to operate on and yank them, then paste them in a new buffer. After that, it's a matter of transforming the text via whatever means one normally does (macros, text objects, search/replace, etc.)
I noticed that the X was out of stock everywhere but the S seemed to have been in stock for a while. When I bought mine a few months ago the store had about 5-6 in stock and the clerk said this was par for the course with other stores.
One could easily argue that if an animal isn't safe to be left alone with children 6 and under that it is a very bad choice for a pet. Kids would have fun playing with a tiger cub too. Just get a cat.
The later revision "new 3DS" in particular is very hard to obtain _brand new_ since they stopped being made and is selling for over the retail price where available.
Interesting twist there. If I need to make up my mind then what should the left do?

The difference between 2A and Roe is that the 2A is VERY CLEARLY enumerated by the constitution whereas Roe is not.

So I push this back to you, why is a VERY CLEARLY ENUMERATED right ignored by the left but this Roe thing isn’t?

Seems like a double standard.
>> Why it had to be rebuilt? Was there a really unsuccessful attempt of a handover?

This is a good question. It could be either that management is incompetent or that the code was unmaintainable. But still, the fact that it took a team of people much longer to build does prove a point. For projects of this size, it's difficult to build them fast unless the code is maintainable, even if it's just a team of 1.

There can be some extreme cases of corner-cutting which can deliver fast short term results but even this has its limits. The complexity or security issues tend to catch up with you quite quickly.
This topic (whiteboarding in tech) is so common and SO boring!
I work in an engineering org with ‘real’ engineers (mech eng, electrical, chemical eng etc) and I’m on a multidisciplinary team. No one tested my code on a whiteboard on the way in. They trusted the fact I have a CS degree from an elite U.K. university and numerous other software qualifications.
Whiteboarding is just a bizarre fetish for people who want to felate Silicon Valley wankers. Screw this sh1t
> So would it be ethical to rape someone and force them to give birth? Because the babies would be happy to be born and experiencing life? That's the same logic you're using.

How could it possibly be ethical to rape someone? Your line of reasoning is really out there.
i got stuck with 'vi' at a place a few years back because "that's good enough - they're pretty much the same". I don't mean as main development tool, but on server builds, 'vi' was 'good enough' and also "it's smaller - we need to keep this small". So any time anyone had to do anything on those remote servers... years of muscle memory gone because... oh yeah, it's 'vi' not 'vim'. it was jarring to be reminded of how different they are.
I have to disagree on the Xbox's, I check Wal-Mart locally every time I shop and I see them in stock most of the time. The PS5? Non existent.

Thanks so much Will. I agree that this is the biggest strain that most parents face.

With regards to grandparents opting out of childcare:
Wow. I'm really sorry to hear that your parents (I'm assuming that's what you mean by the previous generation) isn't willing to participate. This is actually the first time that I've heard this trend, so I'm surprised and troubled you've heard it from others. In the past, I tended to diagnose this problem as one of nuclear families moving away from grandparents, cousins and uncles (as it doesn't seem to be an issue for friends of mine in countries such as Iran where families live closer together, even if both parents are working). I'm curious to know why the grandparents aren't helping. Is it lack of desire? Is it because they are still working and don't have time/energy to help with the kids? Is it because they had to pay for babysitters and expect you to do the same?
I'm really curious to learn more about this if you or any of your friends would be open to a chat.

With regards to separation anxiety:
It also sounds that your daughter is feeling, very naturally, attached and not wanting you to leave for a few hours, which can be really hard. In the past, I really encourage parents to prioritize self-care for the well-being of their child. It can be hard to see a young child cry and complain, but remember that by taking a few hours for dinner to strengthen your relationship with your partner, you are being incredibly kind to your child (by keeping the relationship that supports her safe). Even if a child cries and complains, I suggest that parents explain in very vivid detail why this going out is the best for their well being. You can honor her feelings of sadness at the separation and share your own feelings of being sad that you'll be apart - and then leave. Boundaries are love.
Adele Faber wrote a phenomenal book called "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk." I think it is hands down the best book on compassionately communicating boundaries to children.

With regards to finances:
I'm reading this into it since you'd prefer to have your parents help rather than pay someone, have you considered a child care share? I've heard from many families that participating in a babysitting co-op or care share has been one of the most rich and rewarding experiences of their life. I've written quite a bit about childcare shares but your post and some requests from friends have inspired me to write a new blog about this topic.
Which ones? The Series S, or X?
I dont understand why it goes from "person comes in (implicitly) demanding work" to "person doesnt even talk to me at all" in that scenario. I think if you have had an empathetic "training session" previously such that they are aware of how you are going to evaluate requests, they will come with questions/conversation rather than requests/demands.

Also these questions (I assume) are not rigid "bring a signed stakeholder form to me before we start", its an informal "Mr. X wants this worked on instead of (other thing)?" and they say "Yes". If later it turns out to be inaccurate then the requestor is now the boy who cried wolf and gets vetted much more strictly for future requests. Possibly with a signed stakeholder form before you start.
