I think the takeaway from. The article is that if this I'd the case then interviews should drop all the meaningless jargon and just ask a candidate to sketch out a solution to a problem where they would have to think about atomization

I've used an old roku express, a roku TV and a new 4k roku (forget what the model was but it was made in 2020) and they all have the same app problems Disney plus crashes more often than not in any given watching session. Hbo Max tends

Thats why you go suburban. Low COL but high quality of services and infrastructure. It's amazing what you can accomplish if you don't care about the solvency of your community :D

What's your issue with toll cameras? The law is pretty clear in the US that you have no right to privacy in public, and public roads are no exception. You can fight the fine if it wasn't you in the car and if the picture they took

Maybe we should stop worrying about it and just fine the car owner. If implied consent laws are legal surely agreeing to be responsible for your own vehicle on public roads would also be permissible under the constitution. Also, the systems

You could pretty easily change that though. Having a cop drive around in a patrol car seems way less effective that if the same resources were used to pay someone to look at traffic cams and send out fines for dangerous driving.

Couldn't you be accused by a prosecutor based on video evidence? I get that having some private company collect fines directly would be bad, but couldn't they solve that with a simple manual review process by law enforcement?

by only_as_i_fall 5y ago
This is obviously a silly case but I think traffic cameras are one of the few places surveillance could actually be called for. I'm not sure what the perfect system looks like, but the current system in the US seems broken. Not only is

And then you get far less traffic than you would if your product was listed on Amazon. In the traditional brick and mortar situation you can open your own shop next to the Walmart or Target or whatever and have roughly the same visibility.
11.
by only_as_i_fall 5y ago
What's different is that Amazon is also an extremely dominant platform for other stores. It'd be like if Walmart came to your small town and signed a deal with the local government that stores had to carry their brands in addition

Might be too broad. Especially as the scale gets smaller I think that non-quantitative aspects can reasonably affect who you want to do business with. For example, if I'm annoying and rude to my local mechanic and he starts charging me

Maybe we just disagree about what constitutes best practices. I can't speak much about Java land, but I wouldn't describe rebasing in general as a best practice without further context. If you're working on a team that alway

by only_as_i_fall 5y ago
Doesn't that kind of imply that everyone's opinions are equally valid? If 95% of your profession is on the same page with a certain practice then I'd argue it's really not reasonable to go against the grain without a ver

It'd be cool if this would decrease the number of antivaxxers, but actually it probably won't and Google really shouldn't be able to do this anyway. Perhaps if YouTube didn't have almost total market dominance it would b

That isn't historical data This is https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/changes-visitors-covid?ti... Shows the trend becomes clear on March 12th, which is 7 days before the first lockdowns in New York. Are you sugge

>Absolutely not, because you could measure a substantial decrease in mobility before any region instituted a lockdown. Source?

by only_as_i_fall 5y ago
I mean yes not all areas have affordable food, but to claim, for example, that NYC has worse food than any average suburb is just absurd.
19.
by only_as_i_fall 5y ago
Isn't that decreased mobility largely impossible without lockdowns though? I can't imagine more than 20% of workers would realistically have been able to stay home if their employers didn't have to lock down.

What large cities don't have quality food available? I grew up in the deep suburbs and currently live in one of the largest cities in the US. The difference in variety when it comes to both supermarkets and reasturants is hugely in fav

Reminds me of the issue I remember with old Dell gaming laptops where the cups just had an insane amount of thermal paste on them so they always ran way hotter than they should. You really can't trust the manufacturer to know what they

I did mean parallelism, but I think the point stands. There's very little practical use of async await outside of multithreading.
23.
by only_as_i_fall 5y ago
In a vacuous sense, but in practice you almost always use asynchronous code to achieve concurrency. The canonical Microsoft tutorial on async spends about half its time talking about hiw to make your code concurrent to take advantage of asy
24.
by only_as_i_fall 5y ago
Sure, but I'd argue that the best way to handle this is to just stick to the already existing paradigms that developers have experience with. It's not like there are any problems which can't be solved without async or tpl, an
25.
by only_as_i_fall 5y ago
Strong agree. I've seen devs with 20 years of experience on me write silly inefficient code because they're lulled into a false sense of security by the marketing of async/await. Multithreading is one of the hardest problems

I don't see how. How does one get a mortgage without involving a traditional bank?

I'm very much in favor of a carbon tax that aims to capture most of all sources of pollution. If you just tax gas you could get into a situation where it's more profitable but more wasteful for example to grow produce hydroponical

Can the bitcoin ecosystem replace the dollar ecosystem? Because if not then what's the point?

by only_as_i_fall 5y ago
Unless bitcoin can credibly be a total replacement for traditional finance this isn't really a meaningful comparison though. Perhaps bitcoin or some other crypto can serve as a currency in a sense, but you'd still need financial i

We just need to align incentives. If externalities were factored into the cost of imported fruits for example, it wouldn't even be a problem. As it stands do you even know what the relative carbon cost of growing or importing an apple
