> And it makes sense because who knows the business better than leadership? The consultants can't really do much else other than take their cues from leadership. What routinely surprises me is just how much companies are willing to pay for this service.

The company pays but the leaders benefit. You can charge a lot when it's other people's money.
Our son was very fond of acting as a "project manager" when he was young - like 3 or 4 years old.

His idea of playing with a (age appropriate) train set was to get his mother to set everything up under his direction, similarly going to the beach he'd direct me to build a dam... (which I was happy to do).
Wow. I wonder what conditions and experiences lead executives to end up that perspective on hiring consultants. Naive me took them at face value: idea generators for companies whose executives suspect untapped potential.

Batteries increase in capacity by 5% per year. They will be 1.05^100 = 132 times the capacity of the batteries of today. This does not include increases to energy efficiency, which will possibly be even greater. In other words, smart watch batteries will probably last as long as digital watch batteries do today. By then, smart phones will be about as relevant as a palm pilot.

What a missed opportunity to title it "Should I Rust Or Should I Go?".
After each outer loop iteration, A[:i] (the array up to i) is in ascending order with the max of A at A[i].

This is true the first iteration since max(A) is eventually swapped to A[1]. This is true in subsequent iterations since during the ith iteration, it inserts the next element, initially at A[i], into A[:i-1] and shift everything up with swaps with A[i] so A[:i] is sorted, with the max of A moved to A[i]. After that no more swaps happen in the ith iteration since A[i] contains the max of A.

I understand that, but when the decisions are made by more people there is a greater chance of some of them speaking up and saying "hey, maybe we shouldn't destroy the environment" instead of when decisions are made by a few behind closed doors with consultants being paid to provide cover

It also allows the workers to have the knowledge of what's going on, in the case that the organization does decide to destroy the environment we then have more people who know the facts behind the decisions and can speak out to regulators
I don't disagree with anything you've written there, but I still disagree that UI code is typically or inherently more complex (or harder to write well) than backend code. I doubt it's anything you can even prove one way or another.
But while the nature of inputs and outputs for UI code tends to be nebulous and somewhat poorly defined, it's hard to argue the range of possible inputs compares with code that has to process massive datasets.

No one is saying that we should "reduce production". Of course, any ban on short-haul flight could only be enacted after there was a better/cheaper infrastructure available.

And it so happens that for a lot of cases, the infrastructure exists, it is mostly a matter of ending up with subsidizes and ensuring that government policy accounts for all externalities. For North America, even if proper rail does not exist yet, intercity buses usually are a feasible alternative, and they also have no-to-little waiting times, they can also drop passengers at the city center and are more fuel-efficient per person than flying or driving solo.

It makes no sense to have flights between Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal, much like it makes no sense to have flights between Boston/NYC, LA/SF/Las Vegas, Seattle/Vancouver. And this is just off the top of my head.

Indian demonetization has irreparably harmed the economy for decades at the very least.

It absolutely halted growth and immediately led to a much lower growth level from which India has not recovered, and possibly never will, at least under the current government.

And with high inflation (even pre pandemic) and a huge young population, the destruction of growth was an absolute disaster for India which absolutely needs to cash in on its youth right now before they all grow old and need to be financially supported themselves.
Readkit and Fiery Feed Reader also work the same way as Reeder with possible iCloud syncing. https://Readkit.app and http://cocoacake.net/apps/fiery/.

I am not sure how each of the apps are between one another. For pricing, I think Reeder is one time while Fiery Feed Reader is $15 a year for in app family subscription. Readkit is $10 a year or $40 lifetime.

All three apps are made by indie developers and not bigger corporations.

I agree that Go is a much smaller language and it can be learned more quickly. But I'm not sure if reading the spec is the right approach here. Shouldn't OP rather learn from a tutorial? The spec will explain the "how" part of the language but probably not the "why" part.

Hey folks,

Sharing an article written by a colleague about how to handle third-party outages, think AWS/GCP going down.

As engineers, you get used to people hammering on your door when there's an AWS outage asking "why don't we switch to X? I want to be multi-cloud by next quarter!"

Recency bias and our human inclination to underestimate the pain of alternatives mean we get reactionary when a painful outage happens, but the ideal reaction is measured and takes a lot more into account than the pain of last week.

This post provides useful prompts about how you might think about risks of provider outages, and why the obvious "multi-cloud!" might not be the best solution.
True, but it usually doesn't stop with a one-off lucky shot. Some people just repeatedly spend money in ways that will hurt them in the long run. It's a sad situation if you think your best hope for the future is (extremely unlikely) random luck or keeping shady creditors at bay.

There are a whole lot of companies out there fishing for vulnerable people, in all shades from legally shady businesses to pretty much all ad and credit companies.
Oh, do not keep her busy. Let her wallow in the discomfort of having nothing to do, but do not give her the modern things which are an easy escape from that discomfort (TV, Computers, etc). You will see her natural interests reveal themselves and when they do, give them all the interest like they weer your own as well.

Do your own thing and she will see how it looks to be engaged in something you like.

All the other props and gimmicks will only implant your interests on her, which might be the the same and that is ok, but most likely they will not be.

However, she should be with friends around her age as well. Parents are important, but negotiating friendships is invaluable.
Can someone clarify something for me? If you build a linked list or a dynamically growing array in a Functional program, am I correct in understanding that the array is never modified, instead a copy is made and the new element is added to the copy of the array?

Genuine question, why is this bad? Is it because k8s can spin it up but becomes unreliable later? I think the industry wants something like k8s - define a deployment in a file and have that work across cloud providers and even on premise. Why can't we have that? It's just machines on a network after all. Maybe k8s itself is just buggy and unreliable but I'm hopeful that something like it becomes ubiquitous eventually.

There's other reasons to use K8s than just thinking of massive scale.

Setting up environments becomes a massive PITA when working directly with VMs. The end result is either custom scripts, which is a messier version of terraform, which ends up being messier than just writing a couple of manifest files for a managed k8s.

I've always found this interesting about web based development. I have no idea what Prometheus, grana, etc do. Ive never used k8s.

And yet, as a solo dev, I've written auto-scaling architecture using, for example, the AWS ec2 apis that let you launch configure and shutdown instances. I don't know what else you need.

Really the only advantage I see to morass of services is you get a common language so other devs can have a slightly easier time of picking up where someone left off. As long as they know all the latest bs.

How about waiting until the competitors is actually on the same process node size until declaring the x86 baggage to costly? Most of all, Apple is currently in the lead because they threw money on TSMC to get a virtual monopoly on the smallest node size. How much of that which will remain once the competitors are comparable is an unknown at this point.

Here's one reason: you can only have playlist of songs. There's no way to collapse songs of a single album to one entry. You might think it's a little change but it completely devastates the experience if you're someone who listens to whole albums.

That's not the only UX hurdle if you're someone who curates a library of things to listen to instead of engorging from an algorithm. Sure, you can follow albums and artists but since you can't organize them, these features gets useless if you have anything more than 100 items. The UI is in general is way too simple, with very sparse information density compared to your traditional music player. Was it because of necessity or style that all these previous tools opted for all these features Spotify shirks? I'll let you decide that.
