Coworkers.

Also you’re pushing code into this main branch from… where? Another main branch.

That’s literally how git works, you’re just removing any oversight and collaboration opportunities by insisting on calling this branch you’ve created locally “main” as well.

Code reviews are awesome, and not doing them is a fantastic way to ruin your team’s ability to support work they didn’t themselves write.

Ironically, the Cambridge University book uses the made-up "Brazlian aardvark" moniker copied from Wikipedia in a passage that reads as follows:

"In the case of the Coati, for instance, also known as the Brazilian aardvark, Buffon explained that 'Marcgrave, and practically all of the Naturalists after him, said that the aardvark had six toes in its hind feet: M. Brisson is the only one who has not copied that error of Marcgrave."

The story of how Wikipedia came to call the coati the Brazilian aardvark is told in great detail in The New Yorker:

OK, I guess I'll have to argue against. Please don't make component names whimsical. Your idea of whimsy and fun is potentially confusing or (worst case) offensive to others. Yes, make them unique and searchable. Yes, make them memorable and pronounceable. Yes, make them SFW.

It would get tiring to have to keep explaining to new team members that our prime number generator is named "optimus" even if it was initially clever.

I don't look forward to convincing my boss we need to pull in "libAnimeBabe" as a dependency even if it's the best parser for a file format we need to import.

Nobody wants to find out a year after all of our marketing material is put together that our software name means "asshole" in another language.

Don't make me have to pronounce an unpronounceable Gaelic word every time I do a presentation on our software stack because you're Irish and just had to name your component that way.

There are lots of ways "whimsical" can backfire unintentionally. Save your creativity for the actual software solution.
I don’t know, I didn’t interrogate them about it. I would imagine they considered that, but, then again, maybe not.
> purpose of wrapping native PHP array mutation in an object is and what overhead that introduces.

The purpose is to illustrate what we are doing and setting the stage for later implementations. The overhead is practically unmeasurable unless we are filling the object table with these things (we are not).

Property lookup and function calls are pretty darn fast in PHP, especially with JIT enabled.

Interesting, we've used Google Meet quite a lot without issue. But yes do let me know.

The main bit I'm interested in is definitely Tuple, specifically because it has a diagnostic screen (network insights?). When you have a bad experience, I'd love to know what that screen says
There isn't much turbulence, wind gusts etc. at altitude - these are more of an effect of the bumpy and uneven, alternative hot and cold surface at ground level - the bumps are usually all smoothed out by the time you are high up in the air.

(besides large storms, of course)

EDIT: Turns out there is sometimes some turbulence at altitude, caused by large mountains, storms and the jet stream - but these are all predictable and avoidable.
Okay. Take any COVID-19 test kit and see if someone sick with the flu tests positive with them.

There is a simple thing called science. COVID-19 test kits are literally free. It wouldn't even be a hard test to do. EDIT: In fact, most COVID19 test kits come with their documentation, showing how well they test vs the Flu (guess what? Most of them don't detect the flu at all)

See BinaxNow's test kit documentation, page 3: https://www.fda.gov/media/147254/download

Meanwhile, Flu type B/Yamagata has gone extinct, proving the point I made earlier.
Skepticism is fine, but anytime I saw skeptics questioning the impacts of vaccines, they always conveniently left out the similar unknowns about long-term effects of Covid, as well as the very well-known short-term effects, including possible death, which were obviously orders of magnitude worse than short-term effects of the vaccine.

It seems to me like a lot of the skeptics were skeptical of everything involving COVID - of masks, of lockdowns, of vaccines, etc. Which tells me they weren't actually interested in the science or long-term risks or anything like that - they just didn't like anything that was out of the ordinary.
This just follows the same trend of patenting crops and animal's DNA. These are all effects of overreaching IP laws creating inescapably profitable business models out of thin air rather than necessity.

HAProxy has blown my mind. I'm using it to build a deployment tool for Joystick [1] and it's a real treat to work with. I utilize this specific feature (enabling/disabling servers on the fly) and it worked on the first swing without issue. Made scaling a cluster of servers fairly effortless.

I'm surprised to hear you say that you like having two layers of autoscaling rather than it being some accidental complexity that you just have to put up with because of how the different systems intersect. Having multiple non-orthogonal dimensions of scaling to me always feels like a task ill-suited to humans. I kinda wish HPA, VPA, and Cluster Autoscaler were all just be one thing.
I know plenty about the UK, thank you :)

Whether UK and Commonwealth citizens across the globe really want ceremonal proclamations of accession or not is moot -- they don't get a choice. This is the point. It's a bizarre anachronism that serves as a reminder of the class system, and our places within it.
That's a very good point, I hadn't thought of that part of the music industry. Thanks.
I didn’t say I was opposed to improving efficiency. I’m opposed to people dictating which uses of energy are waste and which aren’t. That’s really the point being made, intentional or not, when you say that uses like commuting are just normalized waste. If that wasn’t your intent then you should argue for a more efficient way of satisfying that demand instead of trying to do away with the demand.
Surely xterm is the mode widely installed terminal emulator with a graphics mode. It emulates the Tektronix 4014 and has done that for decades.
I'm also confused by the OP. CPI has been above the Fed's 2% target since roughly the start of 2021, so even by that metric ("above 2% means a month of inflation") the OP seems off. I'm not really sure what it means to be a "month of inflation" honestly, inflation is always occurring in the US by design (and when it isn't there is usually a large global calamity taking place causing deflation).

a great article, we software engineers are impatient and we tend to job hop often. Being an effective engineer is about more than knowing how to build systems and code, it also requires deep domain knowledge into your company's business and existing systems and this knowledge takes years to cultivate at the same company. All the superstars at my current company have been here for a while.
Depends which bottom, and by what measurement. If you mean raise people everywhere above a certain wealth or income threshold, the answer is probably lower energy costs (and migration to places with stable governments).

If you mean quartile/quintile/decile shuffling without regard for anything else, then aggressive taxation and enforcement will achieve that by some combination of wealth flight, redistribution, and suppression of upper incomes. Western societies appear to prefer a version of distribution shuffling that is accompanied by prosperity, which means moderate taxation and various targeted policies.
I only ever did a few hobby-level projects in scala, never more than a couple thousand lines or so. There were several reasons that stopped me from wanting to go further (sbt being so unpleasant, uncertainty about the future of things with dotty, and a community I didn't want to be associated with (the worst of whom, Tony Morris, having since been kicked out, but still)).
tl;dr it allows the model to focus on different frequencies of pixel-space at different time steps. Time step zero being the low frequency/low-detail features and time step 1000 being a completely “filled out”, detailed image including all the high frequency features.

Doing so in discretely many steps makes the problem tractable and differentiable.

Gross oversimplification, but that’s the gist.

Mad Max is a fictional movie and has nothing to do with reality.

The greatest risk from climate change is not from natural disasters directly like in Pakistan, but the downstream effects of frequent severe weather events and warming of local climates. The loss of life and levels of migration will be much greater when critical infrastructure such as energy production, food production, and clean water supply, are impacted.

Either way, humans going extinct or being reduced by several orders of magnitude is a dire outcome, and we should be doing all we can to prevent it.

COVID did that, not vaccines.
I never said the trials showed efficacy, though there are multiple high quality trials which do show serious benefits of 3rd/4th shots in various age groups. I just say they ran human trials, which your comment implied they didn’t.

Also:

- no good evidence the virus is attenuated (lower hospitalizations/mortality likely driven by increased population immunity)

- a lot of FDA/CDC officials agreed with the decision too, and I think on the whole were proved right to offer to the booster to older populations before all the studies were completed.

- nobody is forcing you to get the 3rd/4th shots, why do you want to prevent other people from getting them if they want them? You are sooo sure they are bad?
Regulation is a double edged sword. At least in some industries much of it is to protect the little guy, but it’s also a whole new jobs program. Just like most “guest speakers” invited to a company. They’re a cottage industry and they give the Corp some cred cover.
Dishonesty can never satisfy intellectual curiosity. It’s not an insinuation, it’s a scientific possibility that warrants further investigation, especially when boosters are being rushed to market with similarly abbreviated clinical trials. There are some reasons for suspicion. One is the rapid fading of the vaccine’s effectiveness. Why is it so much faster than expected? What’s the mechanism? Another is that every other coronavirus vaccine tested has resulted in decreased immune function due to Antibody dependent engancement. Do we know the current vaccines cause ADE? Not so far as I’m aware. Is it something that should be researched? I’d say so.

Isn't it even harder to re-define names in a company? There might be 3 people involved in re-definition, but it affects 15 people.

How are we going to notify those 15? Do we even know who those 15 are? Are we going to create a weekly redefinition newsletter?

I think in most cases new meaning deserves a new name. Everything else is just hacks.

How hard is it to change a name is a actually a really good metric for a company. If a simple rename takes several days, multiple approvals, rounds of QA, and a scheduled release next quarter, then you probably need those hacks.
Guessing is not as good as asking potential users what problems they need solved.

HAProxy also has Lua support.

The general answer here, is no, I don't think you can do much in HAProxy that you can't do with OpenResty, but with HAProxy you generally don't have to pay the overhead of Lua (and HAProxy tends to be very well optimized, so the difference can be significant at high throughput of requests / bytes).

This is true only in hindsight. The only reason you say that is because we actually kind of lucked out that COVID didn't turn out to be any deadlier, especially to younger folks. But when those decisions were made, that was not known clearly.

> Instead allow students to declare bankruptcy on student debt.

I'm curious what impact people think this would have. Or if there's any research on the subject. My initial reaction was that giving out more debt relief could only lead to more inflation. But on second thought I could see only a much smaller segment that is struggling with debt willing to go through bankruptcy. While I buy that that would be less regressive than the current proposed debt forgiveness plan, I don't see how this would affect inflation (or elections, for that matter) in any meaningful way.

> Nearly every country in Europe has been invading its neighbors for centuries,

Which was horrendously destructive, and the two World Wars fought using more modern weaponry were particularly awful. In fact, avoiding similar wars in Europe was part of the original justification for creating the EU, Europe has benefited tremenously from the almost a century of near-peace it's experienced, and this makes Russia's recent actions basically an existential threat to the rest of Europe.

How do you ensure you have enough for their wages with your open-source open-hardware tractor company?

Yeah. I don’t get the parents point either. The vaccine doesn’t prevent catching COVID like the measles shot does, it only reduces symptoms.

Almost everyone who’s been vaccinated has ALSO caught COVID. So those of us with the vaccine have to worry about the long-term risks of both the mRNA vaccine, in addition to the long-term risks of the disease. Those who skipped the vaccine only have the theoretical long term risk from COVID to worry about.
> A lot of journalists covered 9/11, so I'm not sure that this particular fashion reporter didn't seem to care is all that interesting.
