Programmers actually hate working on the same thing for longer than necessary. They like new problems and new challenges, as your identifying in your misguided take on always wanting new libs/frameworks. If you are finding that you act

Keeping the peace was a concept in both countries when they split and was the duty of the sheriff which still exists in both countries and is actually still very functional in the US. That some localities with very large populations evolved

Police in england are an evolution of how the King's peace has been enforced, starting, very simplified, from when the King himself enforced it in very early days to delegating it to members of his court and his sheriffs, and ultimatel

Your sources very accurately reflect the history that slavery was enforced by the legal system and peace officers upholding it. They don't lend any credence whatsoever to the notion that slave patrols morphed into modern police departm

I'm not denying slave patrols existed, I'm denying this rumor of them being the root of modern police because it's straight up not true. The very simple historical trend that brought us the police we have today started with t

It's become popular to regurgitate that bit about police and slave patrols but it has no real basis in reality. That isn't to say that there isn't some example of a slave patrol that was pressed into service as police, but

It's not a forgone conclusion that the ships will be there. In liquidation those ships have valuable equipment and scrap metal that could be broken down and sold, returning value to creditors and investors. Ship breaking is big busines

No, the data is always coupled to how it is intended to be processed and useless otherwise. Integration is always a giant headache on projects that don't capture intent clearly with a good API.

Yup! And reference Ivar Jacobson's OOSE: Use Case Driven Approach for just how long of a history this successful approach has had.

There are no sure things. We don't like the current situation because its risky. But no risk no reward. If we wanted less risk our only option was to have done it way earlier - under Bush 1 or Clinton.

In no way does it make sense to blame the courts for doing their job. The authority for these stay at home orders is by and large derived from temporary emergency powers granted by legislative authority in the first place. If the legislatur

So did Vox, Washington Post, New York Times, and CNN. Nobody knew much in the beginning and that's completely fine and not a hit on anyone's credibility.

When 99% of people say "REST" what they mean is "RESTful" in that its a ball of JSON garbage. That's just a trade and 99% of people are in that bucket. That last 1% actually have read the OG paper and when they say

I had irritation during the first few weeks of wearing my fitbit charge hr but being a bit more diligent about washing it made everything go away.

Yes but when did it become a "city" versus just a caveman camp?

Same. I wish HN had a filter I could set up to hide entries form domains that do this. Won't catch one offs like this but I can add it along with NYT and other paywalls so I don't waste my time.

People always value quality, but don't view quality the same way.

My experience is that velocity slows because devs get so lost in all the accidental complexity of these frameworks and their hidden lifecycles (that they only barely grasp from their 1 tutorials worth of experience) that their velocity of d

In modernity it has two meanings, but its roots are tied to terror. It's only been adapted as a colloquialism to mean "crap". Somewhat like how "aweful" and "awesome" have drifted to mean totally opposite

What you call luck is actually a set of economic signals that has incentivized good behavior and teaching good behavior. If your Ferrari-renting, living above their means counterparts are bailed out while your frugal living means are not re

You missed my point. Pay the licensed engineer enough money and he'll become an approver. He can do whatever quality checks he wants as long as he signs off on it. Then I can recoup savings by having tons of unlicensed engineers doing

You've just changed the word without actually defining anything. What constitutes practicing? What stops one licensed engineer approve a design nominally created by thousands of unlicensed lower engineers?
