Code only readable and maintainable by one person on your team is less than worthless: it is a trap that turns into techdebt (something that people will only be able to slowly work on), create more tech debt (team members will work around and duplicate functionality rather than touch it), and constrain your future timeline (as it becomes dependent on gaps in one person's schedule to add/fix/change old features).
Yes, we should. Canada's only security threat was from Russia and it turns out that Russia's army is extremely incompetent.

There is a "pass the test of time" factor involved. If natural selection approves, then you surely can be more confident and even pay less attention because time guaranteed that plenty of diverse cases didn't compromised the survivability of the system and the system needs you less to achieve its success rate as designed.

Then it comes innovation. Which necessarily starts with limited cases. And we use to launch business and products as soon as we can. Hence, with the minimum acceptable cases. This is fine as long as failures cause minor reparable degradations instead of catastrophic unsurvivable cases.

And still, we need systems designed with every layer having the feature of graceful degradations. That enables us to perform as Woody and Buzz Lightyear said: "Falling with style"

There’s a reason for that. Freight has priority because the freight companies actually own the rails, and actually use them, and it’s a significant contributor to the US economy. Amtrak is an unwelcome guest that they are required by law to put up with. If they wanted better service, Amtrak could pay for it, except the big cross country routes are already crazy unprofitable.

The actual sane solution is to shut down those routes and run buses. American heavy rail outside the NEC is better suited for freight anyway. Build new dedicated corridors for fast passenger services, or stay home.

I would like to point out an important factor which I think is not only I feel stupid about it. So, firstly, we are talking about the United States, a leading superpower, an essential country for preserving world order; just imagine being an American citizen. It is not that easy to get arrested in another country. You will always feel the privilege of being a first-world country national. Secondly, the US still dominates the financial world. Every transaction in the SWIFT system needs to be confirmed in a very centralized manner. So, you know who is sending money to who, etc. Thirdly, US Army is so big, everywhere from the Middle East to Asia.

So, I’m trying to say that the US dominates this planet in many ways…

And then SBF shows up and says there is a separate country called The Bahamas. It is a different country, with other company registration and other laws. Therefore, It is all different.

A chess game is over in at most about 60 moves. Sure the game might last for several hundred moves, but by move 60 only a few pieces are left and it is obvious [to experts] what is going to happen. Even in unlimited time controls, the actual time spent one all moves (as opposed to sleeping or doing some non-game activity while waiting for your opponent to move) isn't very long.

By contrast code lives for many decades. While it isn't all modified every day, it is changed often enough.
What you say is true, though another approach that could be more efficient is to simply run the heat pumps with a higher setpoint rather than supplementing them with [as much] resistive heat (especially in the majority of season that isn't the coldest design day).

It might "feel wrong" to set the heat pumps to 25°C, but that could easily be cheaper and more efficient than setting them to 20-21°C and supplementing to the same level of comfort with CoP of 1 resistive heating all season long.
I have a heat pump and a wood stove in my house. The heat pump doesn’t do as good of a job, but it keeps one from freezing and it really shines in the summer at cooling the house.

Heat wise the wood stove is much nicer. I can’t quantify why, but the quality of heating feels completely different and I’d much rather use it.

Additionally as someone who has used a heat pump in -25C I dispute the claims they work well in the cold with personal experience. If I hadn’t had backup heat I’d have been way, way too cold as it didn’t heat acceptably at that temperature.

Reflection is inherently unsafe. Even something as relatively simple as a JSON de/serializer can blow up in your face.

Source generators are compile-time safe. Well, unless they generate unsafe code, of course, but most of them shouldn't and don't.

They're also safer in a broader sense in that any "implicit" changes will show up in the version control history, if you commit the generated code (which you should!).
The quote in the headline is from the end of the article:

> Another surprising discovery relates to pain perception. Using data from the UK’s biobank – the world’s largest biomedical database which contains the genetic information of around half a million of the country’s citizens – Pääbo was able to establish that people with a specific Neanderthal variant are more likely to feel pain and to therefore age quicker. “It’s maybe time to rethink our idea of Neanderthals as brutish individuals,” Pääbo quips. “Maybe they were actually quite sensitive.”
The key thing missing at that point was a half-trillion market surrounding the hardware comprising the VR devices. The cellphone industry is going to continue to plow ahead no matter what happens with the popularity of VR so no matter what displays are going to get better, mobile processors more powerful, energy efficient and smaller, networking will speed up, and hand-face-eye tracking will get better.

The only necessary tech that isn't driven by a large existing market are lenses. That's a pretty good deal for VR hardware, you just have to focus R&D money on one area while getting the rest practically for free (yes I know a lot of work goes into integrating those other components but it's nowhere near the same as having to develop the tech in the first place).

Correctly managed many of them can be (in my experience). But it’s often psychologically painful for the “socially focused” to allow them that role.

Sometimes it’s just that they are too smart for the product so to speak, and all these issues are just symptoms of that.

> It will also massively hurt global drug and medical research.

This may not be the case, since much research is subsidized by the government and educational funding providing labs that train the scientists the pharmaceutical companies utilize. Single-payer may result in lower costs and therefore more money for support of research and laboratories. Also, pharmaceutical companies would not need to spend vast amounts for marketing their drugs direct to consumers.

> and letting the manager know as a courtesy

Yeah, I can see the new approval thing being a pain. As a manager, I've had no problem with long vacations as long as there's enough notice for the team to plan around it. Beyond that, PTO is a benefit the company provides and it's there to be used.

For myself, I'm very much in the "inform" category when it comes to vacation. I've never really asked for time off, but I have let my managers know when I'm not going to be available and have made sure it's not disruptive to my teams. That's my own small civil disobedience. ;)

No, but they will likely see topline coverage in big media - and then their takeaway of that topline may well be “SBF wrote a blog saying FTX was solvent and administrators could refund customers but haven’t”

"A starving person does not have an inherent right to food."

What kind of psychotic reasoning is this? Of course people have an inherent right to food.

What are you talking about? Transportation is not anywhere near electric at this point. Once you aggregate all that demand for all vehicles in california charging its significant amount of power and the cost of Lion batteries to manage that “load shifting” is excessive if put behind the meter.

You all seem to think this is similar in value or operation to a web app. It is not. It is a safety-critical system that requires very stringent operational and development guidelines ON PURPOSE. The idea that the FAA shouldn't be risk averse in this system is absolutely ridiculous. The complexity of operating the airspace of an entire nation is nothing to scoff at and the importance of the NOTAM system should not be minimized in any way. This is not some government corruption thing. There are hundreds of thousands of lives at stake every day.

I, for one, appreciate the work that the FAA does to keep us safe in the air and appreciate that this was handled appropriately. Everything breaks. It's just a matter of how and when and what we do with it when it does. The FAA handled this outage appropriately and in a timely manner. I feel for the engineers who had to work on this incident.

The problem with anything you've been doing for 25 years is there's not that much chance that I, or anyone else, will convince you to do it differently. That is true of me too of course.

Nevertheless, I highly recommend having automated tests and running them in the presence of memory profilers etc like valgrind if you're using a compiled memory unsafe language like C or C++.

I would look for another job if I had to work with someone that refused to write them to be honest. It's not that I love tests, but I have had to fix other people's bugs.

> predicate pushdown is a problem on both MSSQL and Postgresql

Not sure you’re completely on target here regarding CTE performance. I don’t have deep insight into Postgresql (but “create temporary view", yeah!). MSSQL does a pretty good job in Sql2019. If the predicate is sargeable in some way pushdown is reliable. If performance is a concern, examining the residuals can lead to significant insights e.g. applying index filtering which solves obvious problems. Recursion is another story.

CTE is more likely used by data analyst queries because it is an abstraction of composition. It’s not a great abstraction but it’s better than nothing, which is mostly what you get with SQL.
"from £12,500" I guess it comes in different sizes

To be honest the prices I see out there are still generally 'luxury' anyway. If i am spending £20k on a boiler, then an extra £2k to have a secondary gas system that never/very rarely gets used wouldn't bother me at all.
It's fucking wild that this guy keeps talking, because either we're watching this guy continue to incriminate himself in ways that are going to really hurt him a court of law, or he's actually going to get off lightly in which case his confidence is just disgusting. He genuinely thinks he can just continually say in front of everyone "These assets I just totally invented are worth billions" and no amount of argument affects him. And that he hasn't done anything wrong when we literally have testimony from his employees about exactly how stole the money. "If I just say illiquid enough, it'll all be ok". No. At some point this guy is going to be in a court and have to come up with a coherent answer why he's describing stuff he made up as illiquid billions, and it better be good.

He simply doesn't have even a passing relationship with the truth. It just seems that at some point in the years of idiot VCs handing him money and servicing him orally, he started to actually believe he can just make up reality.
In my ideal world all engineers get to do the work they find interesting that also helps meet team demands. In the interest of not fostering resentment or loss of energy in those contributors I’m wondering what kinds of incentive, goals, metrics, and policies might make you all happy.

I would focus on the end impact instead of the implementation. If someone wants to save a few bytes of memory, why? You state it doesn’t seem worth it to you. Is it a value your team actually measures? If not, try starting there. Having conversations about what’s worth optimizing and why will leave everyone feeling heard.

I believe most people want to do a good job and want to have an impact. If they see that there’s little gain in minor optimizations then maybe they might stop code golfing.

Another (likely) theory is that they just don’t see the complexity in their code. To them it’s not complicated. If that’s the case what heuristic could we use? It’s my experience that tested code is easier to modify, so maybe let them write complicated things, but also make it a requirement to do the leg work to make it more maintainable.

Last option that comes to mind: pair with them with the explicit goal of making the code easier to reason about. They’re stuffing the curse of knowledge, you’ve got beginners eyes. Together you might choose to rewrite parts, add tests or lints or docs.

Go into the process expecting change from them, but also from yourself. Oh and also if you’re struggling to bring this up without yelling at people I recommend using the non violent communication (NVC) framework it will help you to be heard. Good luck.

Indeed how people use their free time varies greatly but that is not a reason to limit people's free time.
