Software engineering isn’t like manual labor. Only results should be measured. A programmer in a flow state who is completely focused will get more accomplished in 2 hours than they would in 8 if they were feeling uninspired and disengaged.

Our job is foremost to think and solve problems. She might very well be thinking about solutions to her coding issues while walking the dog. You are not a very deep thinker if you think butt-in-seat time = results.
Both already exist. Setting up a direct debit generally only involves filling in a form. Sending money to someone else is as simple as authorising a payment to them with their account details.

I like to go in the other direction:

Write the raw SQL and then generate the boilerplate from that.

This has very few surprises because it’s a bottom up approach. And even better: you can do the exact same thing by hand.

There’s tools/libs that help with that like hugsql (Clojure) or sqlc (Go and other languages).

Doing it top down (ORM etc.) is what can cause so many problems outside of the happy path and trivial cases. These tools basically need to reinvent SQL and map it into a procedural language.

Just use SQL!

I Got a Name: Searching for Krystal Senyk’s Killer
This article defines REST incorrectly, and doesn't seem to understand the concept of HTTP methods, calling them verbs (arguably fine) and types (huh?) seemingly arbitrarily. Methods are a core part of HTTP -- just because you can't specify them explicitly in a browser as a user doesn't mean they're "cryptic curl arguments" or worth ignoring. I'm not sure I'd put too much stock into this perspective.
There's not any one sentence that represents what Kritiks on the whole are like, because they can literally be about anything. This author is cherry-picking stuff to rile up right-wingers about schools indoctrinating kids.

In fact, this sentence wouldn't really work as the basis of a Kritik in most cases, because it's explicitly arguing that those things are true in the status quo (so nothing that the Aff plan would do specifically caused that, which means it loses on "uniqueness"; i.e. it's not the Aff's fault, it's just how the world is.)

As a K-Aff, they would probably be pushing for some kind of well-tread Alt (alternative action) like De-col. Afro-pessimism is something that all experienced policy debaters are familiar with, and familiar with answering.

Studies of how remaining hunter/gatherer tribes around the world have/had been living suggests that's not really true - shelter, food and leisure time were almost always readily available. What wasn't was modern medical technology, which has been almost solely responsible for massively reducing deaths in childbirth and early infancy and giving us the average lifespans we enjoy today.
Even among civilizations that founded around agriculture, there's little evidence that homelessness, starvation or lack of free time were the constant reality for the masses, even if there's no question what life they did have would be considered incredibly basic by modern developed-world standards.

NIS is a good one. I have UUCP as a skill on my resume as an easter egg but no one ever asks about it.

For DNS, my favorite interview question goes like this,

How would you verify DNS is resolving from within a pod on Kubernetes?

After listening to the answer, add some constraints:

1. Common networking utilities like ping, nslookup, dig, etc are not available

2. Container user is unpriviledged

3. su/sudo do not work

This can lead to some elaborate k8s troubleshooting or the simple, and correct, answer of getent hosts.

I think over the years it's healthy to switch back and forth between management and IC, and sometimes inbetween as a tech-lead manager.

Being recently hands on with the technology helps coach and assess reports and means you know the real situation of the software.

Being a manager, if you carve out enough space, lets you make a highly productive, happy, successful team, and sometimes you might be the best person to do that.

I think I'd find only doing one forever more a bit tiring!

The "lay" debate formats have the same technical rules as policy debate, theyre just shorter and dont lend themselves to spreading. Policy debaters clean up because theyre playing debate in hard mode, but the rules are still similar: present contentions, rebuttals, and anything that isn't addressed carries across the flow and is tallied up in the end as a mathematical formulation of who addressed which points when, and were those rebuttals convincing? Theres no room for the soft skills required to legitimately influence people in real life, the most important of which is listening.

> While Crime and Punishment (1866) is frequently cited as the “quintessential Russian novel,” Dostoevsky’s final novel, The Brothers Karamazov (1880), is widely acknowledged as his greatest literary achievement.

I have to agree. It's unparalleled. Notes from Underground is really good too.

Speaking of Russian literature, I finally managed to finish rereading War and Peace recently after a decade+. It was long and slow, but easier this time around. I listened to The Cossacks on audiobook as well, and liked it quite a bit.
Probably something similar? I don't see why not.

I don't look at that kind of artwork all that much, but Rutkowski's pictures seem to have a very D&D/Tolkien-ish quality to me, to put it in some words. I'm pretty sure other artists made works in similar styles.

I do recall purchasing a poster with a similar look around 20 years ago, when he'd have been 14-ish. He might be a prominent artist in the genre now, but he's far from the first or that unique.
> In which case you may as well meet at an airport hotel with good meeting rooms.

I'm not finding in-office work productive for the in-office meetings. Those are just as productive remotely.

It's for the hallway conversations, for pair-programming at someone's desks, for grabbing lunch with another senior technical leader on another team and finding out what they're up to, and bonding such that the next time we need to integrate we are automatically looking to fast-track helping each other out.

This requires a sense of place, comfortable vibes, and a pleasant lunch location with good food.

Call me spoiled, but an airport hotel and a buffet table just won't cut it.

Our industry's problem is that the low-EQ engineers have no interest in any of the human elements that make teams and organizations productive. And the only ones around with high-EQ are the VC's who are blinded by the dollars and cents of it all.

So noone REALLY has a vested interest in understanding what we lost when we went all remote during COVID, and what are the minimal elements from it required that are needed to be brought back.

If that were true, then given the evidence presented in the post and in this thread, the corollary would be that a significant amount of large businesses are run by unreasonable people.

My own guess would be the final years of the Ice Age saw too many changes in the northern hemisphere, erratic weather that wiped out everyone, but I have not seen that in an official source, except in discussions of Neanderthals.

Modern Humans can be an admixture of several species if the ancestors to modern humans either migrated south to Africa or continued to survive in some place like Arabia, but perhaps we just haven't found the right fossil yet. Assuming Sapiens and Neanderthals mixed together in the Levant then they either survived in the Levant or they moved south into Africa and then later expanded out of Africa.

I don't think so. The pervasiveness of web apps and applications consuming web services means there's a lot of work involving web APIs. This doesn't mean the definition of API was narrowed. It's all about context. If your bread and butter is developing web services, you don't waste time with context-free definitions of your API. You talk about the API and everyone is on the same page.

They might not have the choice. Nobody is going to rent ground floor retail space in an area with no foot traffic. It is a race to zero all around.
Python is an interesting example to choose as a negative example. I presume you are referring to the evolution from v2 to v3. The popularity of Python has exploded in recent years, possibly as a direct consequence of tough decisions and breaking backward compatibility. I guess it is a subjective topic and an individuals position depends on how they define success.
If this is "antivax", then it's only pretty mildly such:

> mRNA-1273 vaccine-associated myocardial injury was more common than previously thought, being mild and transient, and more frequent in women versus men. The possible protective role of IFN-λ1(IL-29) and GM-CSF warrant further studies.

A mild and temporary case of inflammation - affecting the exact opposite demographic the antivaxxers harped upon - is hardly some vindication of the antivax cause. A vaccine having side effects ain't mutually exclusive with it being safe and effective.
Maybe it's just a personal thing; maybe it's partly about the translation you pick. But I remember reading Crime & Punishment back in my 20s (without any expectations or background knowledge), and I found it absolutely gripping.

Clearly south Africa has problems.

But Apartheid was a problem several magnitudes larger. World pariah status, 80% of the population subjugated, colonialism at its worst. Democracy (the White vote in 1990), the national vote in 1994, lead to a revolution without a civil war.

Of course it has not lead to utopia, and democracy has challenges there, as it does elsewhere, but the authoritarian regimes before were far, far worse.

Exactly! I think most people who drink need to cut back, also go do things with your friends that aren't just getting drinks.

Optimism is (almost) always required in order to accomplish anything of significance. Those who lose it, aren't living up to their potential.

I'm not encouraging the false belief that everything you do will work out. Instead I'm encouraging the realization that the greatest accomplishments almost always feel like long shots, and require significant amounts of optimism. Fear and pessimism, while helpful in appropriate doses, will limit you greatly in life if you let them rule you too significantly.

When I look back on my life, the greatest accomplishments I've achieved are ones where I was naive yet optimistic going into it. This was a good thing, because I would have been too scared to try had I really known the challenges that lay ahead.

While the article is about weeds as a genetic library, there’s something to be said for just looking at weeds as potential crops in general.

I’ve lived in the woods three years now, and while I always knew that a lot of wild plants were edible, I had never really appreciated just how many, and how many flavours there are out there that we generally never try. I will often walk from a to b nibbling on various bits and pieces as I go - and yes, I know how to ID, and how to check toxicity so I don’t poison myself.

I’ve also dabbled with bug-eating. Earwigs are a particular favourite - they’re sour and spicy, and dried and ground make an incredible curry paste.

Anyway. Turns out we can eat a lot of stuff just fine.
It was definitely the norm, but it seemed to have more to do with hardware and drivers and certain programs, so people's experiences varied dramatically.

Sounds like you just happened to luck into reliable hardware with well-written drivers.

> As far as your question about the single dollar spent on the non-gifted kid but not spent on the gifted kid, I'm not aware of that happening. Don't all children in the same area have access to the same public education?

This is precisely the problem: making it seem like everything is "fair" because all kids get the same lowest-common-denominator/no-child-left-behind education system. Every child deserves to have the opportunity to learn, which is why the special education system (which receives enormous resources, far beyond the proportion of students who receive SPED services) exists. According to your logic, we could just get rid of SPED and say "it's all fine because all children have access to the same public education". But that misses the point, which is that different children need different resources to learn. Some need remedial support, and some need more advanced learning.

And as mentioned upthread, since CA got rid of the requirement for GATE education, schools (including those in incredibly well-heeled districts) have gotten rid of advanced learning options for students. The result is that kids with involved parents procure outside resources, while their peers whose parents are not involved/as well-off are robbed of the chance to learn.
And if they're somehow (just theoretically) genuinely indistinguishable even to the author - this prompts to question the value of originality.

>>Why is one morally superior to the other?

Neither is superior to the other. But when anyone, from any group, argues for laws suppressing the free market rights of others, they are abusing others. People do this when in corporations, and when in unions, and I condemn them the same either way. It just so happens that almost all unions do this, because unions have almost no power without suppressing the free market rights of others.

>>You are missing where entire systems can lock people in (too poor to leave the factory town), and the only re-course is to try and change the current situation, by forming unions or protesting, or revolt.

Again, the evidence shows that people were not locked in factory towns:

It's really easy. The problem they have is finding technically competent people in the desired budget.
Consider the x component (along the wire's length) and the y and z components (along the wire's radius) separately.

There is a E field component along the x axis within the wire, correct. This provides the force which causes the electrons to accelerate. The field is slight -- remember it's just the voltage from one end of the wire to the other (millivolts) divided by its length. Notably, this component does not impart energy to the load -- it corresponds directly to energy dissipated in the wire itself (i.e. its Poynting vector points toward the center of the wire).

But along the wire's radius, within the wire, there's no net E field. Each electron (and each proton!) contributes a small field (which does extend immediately from the electron-point-source as you say), but the electrons arrange themselves within the metal such that the net field along these axes in the wire is zero. (If they were not arranged so, the nonzero field would push them toward this arrangement. Since the electrons aren't moving along these axes, the field along these axes is zero.) In the intuitive sense -- uniform static distribution of electrons begets a uniform static field among them.

Outside the wire -- assuming the wire has a net charge (positive or negative) -- we do see a radial electric field, because the electrons are not free to move to/from the wire through free space to neutralize this field. And if there are two wires of opposite charge (as in the circuit described), the fields sum constructively (as one wire's field is radially outward, the other's radially inward). This field is much larger, particularly if the wires are physically near each other, since it derives from the voltage difference between the wires, rather than across them. (And most importantly, the Poynting vector of this field points toward the load.)

You may be right that the region outside the wire where energy flows may be small and near the wire (working through some math now) but it's definitely outside the wire for the reasons given above, and flows between sources and sinks according to the Poynting field, not along any path that's visually represented in a circuit diagram.
