I've noticed the same. I'm a woman so bleed often, I'd feel the fatigue but my blood work didn't show anemia, so my primary care physician didn't feel the need to prescribe it yet. I decided to take supplements on my own and monitor the ferritin levels to make sure I don't over-do it.

Note, if you aren't bleeding regularly, it's very unlikely you need it, and iron might be harmful. Make sure to test your ferritin levels before and regularly as you do it.

That's where we disagree. I think it would be entirely possible to prevent development permanently (or almost...50-100 years or more) if the regulations are too harsh.

Even with some fatalities, I think self driving could reduce total deaths. Perfect is the enemy of the good.

Ideally, for production you're not constantly rebuilding a JS bundle but instead just building once with all the required package versions and then just serving that bundle all the time.

The bundle only really needs to change if the underlying code does, but in pretty much all cases your customers/users are not actually triggering any changes in your underlying code, that's a security risk.

Not a big Duolingo person, but I suspect your complaints may be outdated now. They made the sentences less stupid in general and introduced switches to turn off a lot of the frilly stuff (because your complaints were shared by a lot of people.)

My problem with Duolingo ambiguity is that if you want to do language learning on Duolingo starting from the middle rather than at the beginning, you'll get a lot of questions wrong because you're not familiar with the exact vocabulary that Duolingo wants you to know (i.e. what it taught you in earlier lessons.) Since it's constant translation drills, it builds up its own internal conventions about what English word translates to what target language word that you don't know as someone who has learned from other sources.

I've found translation to be a dead end for me. If I don't know a Spanish word I look it up in a Spanish language dictionary and/or thesaurus, and if I can't manage to figure it out using that and context, then I'll finally look for an English translation of the word. Totally there for English language grammar instruction, but not translation.
I find myself thinking about the answer before looking at the options. Also, not reading the prompt but trying to figure it out by listening.

If it's too easy, you can make it a bit more challenging yourself.
I've been on it for less than 6 months (151 streak), so it's always been like this for me. And I definitely had to "pay" for all my freezes after the initial 2.

Another way to look at lobbying is that it helps grow/sustain our economy and the successful companies at the government level. i.e. "if you made it this far (and have the money to show), you've proven to us [the government] that we can depend on you to bolster our economy". It's a self perpetuating economic positive feedback loop.

There’s some recognition within apple that push notifications were a mistake (at least as they’re implemented today).

iOS 15 introduced notification filters and notification summaries

iOS 16 doesn’t even show notifications on the Lock Screen unless the user explicitly asks to view them (there’s just a small “view notifications” button at the bottom of the screen). Further, the Live Activities widgets will eliminate a lot of the notifications sent by apps like Uber.

If the trend continues, iOS 17 will further hide notifications.

Perhaps this is why Apple now feels comfortable with web push notifications.
What the author should have made more clear is that we’re starting to see technology that eliminates the “local developer environment” completely, and we’re also starting to see collaborative real-time code editors. Taken together, we can imagine a world where a dev points their browser at codebase hosted somewhere and just starts editing. Each edit is a change event that the system reacts to by running compilers, then unit tests, etc. and provides near real-time feedback that the code works/doesn’t work, right in the editor. In this world the developer does not push their changes, the system does that for them, while they’re working. The CI server disappears from view completely.
For all the advice about taking a loan and investing the cash you would have spent, no one I know of does that.

Secondly, you are supposed to invest money you aren't going to use for at least 5 years. That's a much longer horizon than most product purchases. Why? Sometimes stocks/real estate/crypto/etc. goes down. Have you checked the markets lately?
I built an ICO platform that allowed companies to raise funds and I did not escrow the money or get approval from any financial institution. We operated outside the US. It would have been impossible to do anything remotely similar in terms of UX without crypto. Best alternative would have cost $XX millions to set up and would require users to wire money to an escrow entity. Nobody would have used that. We built ours with 2 engineers and very little capital in less than a month.
right; those are for cleanly healing scars.

Interesting? Sure. Useful, economically viable and slowing real problems? After tons of companies spending many billions of dollars in RD, we still have none.

No one, expect for cryptobros. Tracking balances and solving discrepancies is long solved problem. And it’s not a technical problem. I don’t need super wasteful DB to do that, I need law, procedures and customer service.

I think the current taxes in the US are too regressive, and I'm not alone. Warren Buffett famously pointed out his total tax rate was 17.7%, while the average tax rate for people in his office was 32.9%.

If my taxes go up 1% while those making $1M+/year go up by 10%, in order to get improved sewage treatment systems and more, then I'm all for it.

While rich people tend to use their free time for something beside going to the local English beach for a swim.

Universal single-payer health care is cheaper and with better overall health benefits than the current US system has. I would gladly pay higher taxes than pay for my own health insurance as it means more money at the end of the month.

How much money should you get at the end of the month for letting the water be more polluted with untreated sewage?

It's not to be done with acquaintances otherwise you're right it would be way too obnoxious way too fast.

That said, in a non friendly setting.. it's one of the most efficient way to get things done. Those contexts (like work) are often adversarial and full of opposite incentives, and tapping into people's deep desire to either assert their skills or express deep belief is just way too efficient.

I've tried the friendly honest way.. it was a catastrophe, nobody wants to give you friendliness, it's a currency. Proving you wrong is an intrinsic self-reward.. it comes in abundance.
At least the initial hiring of consultants was done publicly. (Subcontracting is usually not done via public tender, since it is assumed that the main contractor's bid includes the complexity and cost of whatever subcontractors they might need, and requiring public tender for everything would slow things down significantly.)

The problem was that actually following the advice to keep minimal in-house staff who could check the work was really stupid, no matter who would win such tenders.
Come on now. People are definitely going to understand that, and encourage you. You may not understand their idiomatic expressions of encouragement at all, but that's your opportunity to use your app/school language to learn something new.
Apparently RTC doesn't mean real time clock (or refer to a computer without one), but I don't know what makes a modem an RTC modem specifically.
With respect, this suggests to me that you haven't actually read about how Vite works. It's not aiming to be just another contender, it sort of positions itself as a "best of both worlds" abstraction layer on other tools, whereby esbuild is used for faster compilation and rollup is used for configurable builds. It's not as drastic of a change as you're making it out to be, unless someone is coming from like a Gulp-based setup or something.

My work uses Webpack 3 and 4 (in a monorepo) and I was able to get Vite up and running on a test branch (as a sandbox) within a day, even though it's using roll-up instead of Webpack and even though our code was pretty old. It compiled in like a few seconds, it was wild.

> Clean: Scheduling is just plain English

Ugh, no thanks.

First of all, English itself is not clean; it's a messy amalgamation of special cases and inconsistent spelling rules.

Second, it isn't actually English anyway. It might look like English, but it's actually a DSL that happens to correspond to English a lot of the time. English text is meant to be interpreted by humans, who understand context & connotation, and can resolve ambiguities by making educated guesses or discussing the text with other humans. But your English-like DSL can only be interpreted by a computer program, which cannot (and arguably should not) do such things. Ergo, the benefits of using natural language are lost, and you are left with the same strict interpretation rules as any other programming language, but without any of the syntactic rigor that would normally help you construct programs/expressions that are both syntactically correct and also do what you intended them to do. Finally, the passing similarity to another language is a newbie trap and it makes teaching more difficult. See also: SQL, Python.

Worse still, it's represented in code as a string literal.
It cannot be reasonably syntax-highlighted or otherwise statistically analyzed, nor can it be easily constructed dynamically if needed, nor can scheduling primitives be combined or composed. It is the worst of all worlds, and you have no way to check if your program is valid other than to run it and see if it crashes. And you have to re-learn operator precedence / associativity rules, because they probably won't be identical to the rules in Python itself.

I'm sorry if there is a really high quality scheduling engine underneath this DSL, but I absolutely would never want to use something like this in production code.

(I'm sure you can guess how I feel about BDD frameworks and "expect.foo.to.be.equal.to" style test APIs).

Yes, vitamins "have some benefits", but no one wants them. If they cured cancer, sure. But they dont.

Likewise, sure, an international distributed ledger that can compute about as much as a school calculator "has some benefits", but it doesnt cure anything. Least of all "international finance".

Crypto-holders (ie., people in the pyramid scheme) want the debate to be about the technology... so you can't quite see the structure of whats going on.

My studio is in a building that also does musical events and there are always posters up for various gigs and I so often have a similar complaint - they're 'designed' (as in, imho, poorly) by someone who's had their head buried in the thing they're promoting and forget that people slightly outside their context need a bit more of a nudge. There's one new one out there today that doesn't have any links to help define context, and the name of the artist is so generic as to be tricky to filter on a web search.
I think what the author is meaning is the "CI" tests run on your local machine before you can commit to the repo?
Game-changer perhaps in a bad way ;) We're losing the art of writing solid code and instead flail with the "hot reload" crutch. I miss the days of punching cards and submitting a deck to be compiled and run - at least in terms of it forcing me to verify my work ahead of time.

And yes - I'm (mostly) kidding. But I did write my first programs on punched cards at a university course while I was still in grade school. Probably the last generation of programmers to experience that discipline.
True, that would be illegal in most of Europe.
A poor title; I'd say "The current CI is inadequate, we need to begin with a new CI".

Why is the current CI slow and resource-heavy?

The language(s) are inadequate: every function can affect another function or data; every function / method may have arbitrary side effects. Even if not so, the language does not export the dependency graph.

The build system is inadequate: because in the source code everything potentially affects everything else, a lot more needs to be rebuild to be sure than would be strictly necessary for the logic of the change. Even if not so, the build system does not export the dependency graph and the scope of the actual changes.

The tests end up inadequate: even if they are written competently, they cannot trust any info about the scope of the changes, so they need to test way more than logically required to be sure, or, worse, they actually need to re-test everything. Also, due to the way other systems (databases, etc) are represented in the test setup, they are hard to run in parallel.

Microservices were invented partly as a way to fight this: they make very clear bounds between independent parts of the system, and strive to keep the scope of every part small. Their small scale makes the problems with the CI tolerable.

What we need is better tools, better static analysis and compartmentalization of the code, more narrow waists [1] in our systems that allow to isolate parts and test them separately.

Edit: error rate of 1 per 20 years seems very good to me.
