I find this quite surprising! What benefit does your org accrue by mandating that the db instance used for testing is centralised? Where I am, the tests simply assume that there’s …

I don’t think you are naive - it’s counter-intuitive. The political context is important: Ukraine is incentivised to portraying itself as a country that respects international law …

I read it as simple humbleness, which is not too surprising given the careful management of the project and the tone of the piece.

That sounds like an awful workplace culture. I doubt the name of the git command is responsible, though.

One option for those so inclined is to cryptographically sign commits with a key that lists both work and personal email address (assuming your enterprise’s policy allows it). The …

My personal experience is yes. Hardware provides a substrate of reality, and software developers are asked to implement aspirations.

> FTA: "While many games are playable, newer AAA titles don’t hit 60fps yet." You’re lucky to get 60fps playing a fairly undemanding game on MacOS, even on hardware that is otherwi…

Without universal suffrage I think the comparison between modern democracies and these examples is apples and oranges. The voters in Rome and Sparta were a small elite, so their “d…

When GP said “most”, I interpreted it more broadly. Most applications simply do not require the guarantees of a non-GC language. When you expand that horizon, list of contenders be…

Competitive games are unlikely to reach the market share necessary for a competitive gaming tournament if their casual scene is inundated with cheaters. Only a tiny handful of game…

I’ll take some police briefly on my property over that gamble any day.

For me personally, if I hated my boss, I’d be even less likely to follow their bizarre and probably unlawful instructions.

You’re not wrong, but in Australia where I work only 12.5% of all workers are in unions. We have some moderately union-hostile legislation (strikes are hard to pull off lawfully) b…

A developer who knows the code and will own the consequences can review and merge it - easy. Just not sure why the LLM needed to get involved in the first place.

I remember seeing you at GolandSyd meetups before you took over running them. Nice job!

The Embodied Mind is a very influential work for me. Its premise that our experience can be understood by a synthesis between cognitive science and insights rooted in Buddhist prac…

The simply binary of government or individual choice eliminates the middle ground where almost all change happens: the collective aggregate result of cultural change within the com…

As someone who doesn’t live in LA: I can’t imagine what your freeways are like given your characterisation of an ordinary road. Our “freeways” max out at 4-5 lanes each way. From w…

Anyone with 2% denisovan DNA has an ancestor who was 50% denisovan! I remain astounded.

Many humans carry Neanderthal and Denisovans DNA. We are hybrids. I find that inspiring, not sad. There’s enough discord and conflict within one hominid species to go around for me…

Cognitive science. “The Embodied Mind”[1] defines embodiment quite clearly and argues for its centrality to consciousness. https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262220422/

Your comment was an excellent synthesis of the discussion that preceded it - thank you.

Distress also has a short passage explaining the collapse of the collapse of CBDs and inflation of the suburban property market and cost of living due to remote work, set in an are…
