The truth is, if you ask me this 100 times, you'll probably get 100 different answers, because it's impossible to really pick just one (well two, separating by fiction/non-fiction). But for today I'll go with:

I disagree rather strongly with this advice. Mostly because I’ve spent almost a decade earning rather lucrative money on cleaning up after companies and organisations which did it. Part of what you say is really good advice, if you’re not Facebook then don’t build your infrastructure as though you were. I think it’s always a good idea to remind yourself that StackOverflow ran on a few IIS servers for a long while doing exactly what you’re recommending that people do. (Well almost anyway).

Using a single database always ends up being a mess. Ok, I shouldn’t say always because it’s technically possible for it not to happen. I’ve just never seen the OOP people not utterly fuck up the complexity in their models. It gets even worse when they’ve decided to use stores procedures or some magical ORM which not everyone understood the underlying workings of. I think you should definitely separate your data as much as possible. Even small scale companies will quickly struggle scaling their DBs if they don’t, and it’ll quickly become absolutely horrible if you have to remove parts of your business. Maybe they are unseeded, maybe they get sold off, whatever it is. With that said, however, I think you’re completely correct about not doing distributed transactions. I think that both you and the author are completely right that if you’re doing this, then you’re building complexity you should be building until you’re Facebook (or maybe when you’re almost Facebook).

A good micro-service is one that can live in total isolation. It’ll full-fill the need of a specific business domain, and it should contain all the data for this. If that leaves you with a monolith and a single shared database, then that is perfectly fine. If you can split it up. Say you have solar plants which are owned by companies but as far as the business goes a solar plant and a company can operate completely independently, then you should absolutely build them as two services. If you don’t, then you’re going start building your mess once you need to add wind plants or something different. Do note that I said that this depends on the business needs. If something like individual banking accounts of company owners is relevant to the greenfield workers and asset managers, then you probably can’t split up solar plants and companies. Keeping things separate like this will also help you immensely as you add on business intelligence and analytics.

If you keep everything in a single “model store”, then you’re eventually going end up with “oh, only John knows what that data does” while needing to pay someone like me a ridiculous amount of money to help your IT department get to a point where they are no longer hindering your company growth. Again, I’m sure this doesn’t have to be the case and I probably should just advise people to do exactly as you say. In my experience it’s an imperfect world and unless you keep things as simple as possible with as few abstractions as possible then you’re going to end up with a mess.
Hey, I got bitten by iconv writing PHP.
As somebody who just did job interviews, tech like this is why the job market has somehow become even worse in the LLM age.

You want to know why people are using AI to read your resume? Because tools like this are clogging job inboxes with hundreds of submissions per day.

Also, don't think this makes you special, we can tell when something is written by AI. Not only do you not look smart, you look like the 100s of the people who thought they could get one over but instead your resumes all read the same and say a whole lot of nothing.

This isn't a criticism of the tool or the people using it. More a rumination on how an already horrible process has someone become so bad that tools like this feel like a good idea to people.
>>> So, did I learn anything ? No - not really. But did it solve a problem for me? yes.

In my old age (60), I've gotten a little bit philosophical about this issue. I'm old enough to have pored through entire textbooks and manuals, e.g., BASIC, HyperCard, Turbo Pascal, MS-DOS (to name a few). But I can still ask myself at the end of the day:

So, did I learn anything?

Those things are all flawed, temporary creations of some individual, and are no longer useful. On the other hand, there are certain things that I've learned, and consider to be "fundamental," such as math, physics, and admittedly, music. Now a philosopher might correct me and point out that my choice of "fundamental" is arbitrary, but if nothing else, those things are long-lasting. The laws of physics that I'm capable of grasping haven't changed in my lifetime, nor has the technique of playing the double bass without injury.

Perhaps a thing you could do is sit down and decide what things you consider to be fundamental enough (relative to your interests) to learn on a deep level, and what things you can interact with on a superficial basis by letting AI take care of them for you.
Eduroam provides an authenticated tunnel to your home network which provides you with connectivity. The quality of said authentication varies by institution and some provide much better security and privacy than others. The level of privacy you can expect depends on what country you're in and what institution your account is from.

So yes, Eduroam is no different than roaming on any 4G/5G network, but it's also not worse. If anything, I trust the backend security of Eduroam providers more than I trust mobile carriers.

He made an inferred comparison between his situation and Rodney King, that’s the comparison.

I highly, highly doubt we've reached the level of AI safety required to make it a good idea to replace (or even just supplement) caregivers for children. Nobody has truly solved the safety problems with AI yet, just doing the best they can--seems like a terrible idea to put that in direct intimate access of emotionally vulnerable children. We've already passed the threshold of AI suggesting to testers to commit suicide[0], and the bar has been raised to actual users being told that[1] and someone reportedly following through.[2]

Insurers do notice that small claims (in P&C) are a relatively small part of claims + cost so most don’t offer the high deductibles. As a bonus, with higher deductibles come relatively more lawsuits. So safer to only offer low deductibles. (My experience after 20 years in the sector.)

In my country a family perhaps pays about €5k total a year for two cars, health, house and the assortment of legal and liability insurance. That is quite modest (not for all income classes though), since there are catastrophes possible in nearly any avenue of life. A minimalist insurance scheme would save one about €2k/yr. That just isn’t that worthwhile utility wise.
It's in several, particularly newer APL dialects; see https://aplwiki.com/wiki/Under#History . Proud to say I originated the "structural" form used by Uiua, which is able to deal with transformations like filtering that lose parts of the input. Every language now seems to have its own take on what exactly Under means, with different implementations leading to different supported functions and various ways to relax the theory to be more convenient or handle intuitively expected things better.
My parents did. They were academics and their work and life were largely one and the same. Both worked until 70 and neither saw 75.

I visited some relatives who are Jehovah's Witnesses. I was blown away by how rich their social life was. They hung out with people who lived nearby all the time.

I'm sure that kind of lifestyle also exists outside of a religious context, but it was quite striking. I've never seen anything like it. It made me wonder what life used to be like a hundred years ago, and what we've lost, or given up.

I guess church is the prime example of a Third Place, which appear to be in short supply.

I've always heard fubar originated as a backronym for the mispronounced German word "furchtbar," which means terrible but could be sort of interpreted as meaning "f'ed up." Fubar originated during WWII so it seems plausible atleast.

I am kind of curious if you have to mentally keep track of the rank/shape/dimensions in your head or if there is some implicit/explicit convention for conveying that to the reader. Does tracking rank/shape become second nature after awhile?

I'm also wondering about things like (APL-style) inner products -- they are undeniably powerful, but it's hard for me to conceptual use cases above rank 3.

We found bugs in that one as well. ARM even sent us their pre-release binaries some time. We had pretty templaze-heavy code and unit tests. When Visual Studio and gcc (and the standard) agreed on one outcome and RealView on another, we reported it. Record was three hours after receiving the compiler we reported a bug.

One ARM person once said: "You know, we thought we build these CPUs, so we'd be the ones optimizing best for it. Boy did we learn how complicated C++ is. Next version will be based on clang..."
Was this part of hack whatever you can operation or does this carry some targeted significance?
In many parts of the world, natural dietary fluoride exposure from food greatly exceeds the levels anyone adds to water. Some regions also have naturally high fluoride levels in water as well.
Because premiums will rise across the board, so people with an insurable interest pay premiums set for people who intend to gamble or manipulate their insurance.

By demanding an insurable interest, insurance companies keep out gamblers and frauds. It also helps strengthen the idea that insurance shouldn't be abused or manipulated for a payout.
There should not be. The law specifically says there should not be a difference in home use vs EU-roaming.

I think you raise a good point though. I'm automatically suspicious of free WiFi.

Very sexist. Women were not only expected to never cuss, but also to pretend as if they had never even heard such awful words.

"Gender" is often used as a synonym of "sex".

The more recent and somewhat controversial concept of it being an identity isn't the only sense of the word.

As for gambling. The point isn't gambling is evil, but that others think gambling is evil, so being associated with gambling is bad for business.
I wasn’t conflating the two things, I was mentioning that the power to say yay/nay was the closest I ever got to opening a job req

To be entirely honest reading through your process, you don’t have the power to open job req either. That’s the exact same way it would go at my jobs. You are not given a budget to execute with, you need to ask a multi chain group for them to decide if a req is opened.
Hard to say with random "what ifs." If we're starting merchant nuclear reactors back up, because they have some life left in them and can be operated safely, I support such an operating model as it pushes high carbon energy out of the generation mix until there is more clean energy on the grid.

Illinois provides subsidies to their nuclear reactors because they are low carbon [1], the federal government is subsidizing Diablo Canyon in California [2] and Palisades in Michigan [3]. Every coal fired generator in the US is more expensive to run than to replace with low carbon renewables except the one in Dry Fork, WY, [4] so subsidies are just arguments, not real economic signals.

TLDR We're kicking the can until we can get more clean energy online, and that ramp rate continues to accelerate [5].

I’ll note that this anecdote can cut both ways: well water is just as likely to have more fluoride than fluoridated municipal water, since fluoride is naturally occurring, soluble, and commonly found in rock formations that also hold water.
For nonfiction I think about Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets and The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood by David Simon (and Ed Burns for The Corner) a lot. They are very funny and very sad and really changed how I see the world. So I cheated, two books.

In this case it prevents someone using PYTHONPATH to alter or override the order that modules are loaded. Hard to justify that.
You've blinded yourself by othering them. "There's only so many people criminally predisposed" - that may be comforting, but it's too naive to build a policy around.

100% of people would commit crimes under the right circumstances. As an extreme example, 100% of us could sustain a life changing head injury that renders us more violent and aggressive than we were before, and that could happen at any moment. The most kind and timid person you know could turn into a monster if they fell down the stairs. You could turn into a monster if you fell down the stairs. The only thing you can do to stop that from happening is to protect your head, it doesn't matter how good or virtuous you are presently.

You can't incarcerate your way out of crime. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
I Interview Once a Year (Even When I'm Not Job Hunting
Recently, my direct manager asked me, "Why did your LinkedIn status change to 'open to work'?" It’s a fair question, and one that I’d like to address. Every so often, about once a year, I go on what I call an "interview spree." This practice isn’t because I’m actively looking to leave my current role, but rather, it’s designed to help me understand the current job market and assess where I stand within it.

> Because premiums will rise across the board

I don't see why this is true. The insurer still knows the item and its market value. So if the insured amount is higher than the market value then it only needs to increase the premium in those cases, not for everyone else.
Why are you working 60 hours a week? You’re almost certainly not getting paid for that.

I find this new path pretty fascinating. Have there been any recent advancements in terms of the signal integrity issue when partitioning these designs?

One rule of programming I figured out pretty quick is: if there are two ways of doing it and there is a 50/50 chance of one being correct and the other one isn't, chances are you will get it wrong the first time.

Not all free apps are on F-Droid, because a) very few companies/projects want to/can be trusted to provide and maintain an up-to-date F-Droid repository of their own, and installing repositories is less-than user friendly to say the least and b) the standard repository only contains open-source applications _that have had their build system modified to match F-Droid's_ and have been vetted by the project.

With F-Droid requiring either of those options by design, I don't think we'll see many government-run projects get F-Droid repositories.

That said, I doubt anyone will have a problem grabbing the .apk from somewhere internet and installing it that way.

I'm annoyed that they made this project app-based. I'd like to be able to use my computer on one of these networks...
