I like going the other way, too. My personal favorite: kilosecond: 11.57 days and fun to say, but never useful: gigasecond: 31.68 years

Under that interpretation of accountability, you could easily hold a machine accountable for decisions; if it loses enough "reputation points" such that people no longer trust it to make the right decision, the machine could be re

idea is the concept, whereas creative work is the implementation of that concept.

I was working on a mobile team, the order came down from on-high that google recaptcha was no longer cutting it for verification during user signup and we were switching to Arkose for our captchas, for some reason, no one could tell me why

Maybe this is more begginner than youre looking for, but I saw this one ("Lost at SQL") here on HN last year. https://lost-at-sql.therobinlord.com/

That is sad news. I used to listen to a CD of one of their acts on most road trips with my parents. They were so funny, even though the political references were all well before my time. I had no idea they were so well known; since I never

I dont think it's demeaning. Uber (and others) are not very upfront about the longterm costs and risks, causing (often) desparate people to make serious decisions without critical information. This mostly affects people who drive for t

I think youre right. Unfortunately, once the issue of, particularly homeless, severely mentally ill people is out of sight (i.e. no longer on the streets), it will be very easy for the issue to be forgotten by the masses. And it would be a

You're falling prey to the fallacy that just because 1 person's actions can't make a world of difference on their own, those actions aren't worth taking. By your logic, you may as well not vote either, because everyone e

Honestly, youre doing great. At the very early point in your career that you are at, it is normal and expected that you dont know much. The important thing is that you just keep learning. There will always be people that are smarter than yo

For me, as a rookie developer, I find I often have little to no clue what needs to be done until I've started coding and figured out through trial and error how to implement it and what the requirements even should have been up front.

I think that throwing more people in jail technically is a solution, but it's a very expensive one that does nothing to address the reason why people are committing crimes. There are many factors at play, and I won't pretend to kn

> To ensure developers are context-switching, recompilation should take at least 20 seconds. So true. But only 20 seconds? The project im working on takes 20 MINUTES to compile for any code change. I constantly forget about it while tryi

I wont discount that as a possibility, but it kind of goes against the company's mission, so I think thats kind of unlikely. A more likely explanation (in my mind) is that being a small company, there's a lot more variability of q

This is true, but I dont think high school was ever intended to be preparing kids for the labor market; I thought it was to teach a basic education for understanding the world.

Awesome! Real throwback to my first programming class; using turtles to draw stuff in GIMP using Scheme.

I agree that folx doesnt make sense as a nongendered term, but Latinx is used because Latino/Latina IS (traditionally) gendered.

I think the main issue with the original art piece was the lack of consent. The pictures are clearly of a single subject (the device user) and not of a space that mutiple unconsenting persons happen to be occupying, which makes the violatio

This is a testament to needing to test your code for edge-cases before deploying. And if it doesnt work how you intended... dont deploy.

Fair, but there may have been security reasons for not recording something like this (if the swordsman theory is true), you wouldnt want enemy castles to be built as well, so you might not write down any defensive design strategies in an ef

Wowowow! I've only read the FREE first chapter so far, but honestly, I'm pretty hooked. If the rest of the book is as useful and well-written as the first chapter (which I suspect it is) then the price is a steal. Following this b
