This is quite common prey animal behavior. Larger predators have a harder time adapting to rapid turns made just as the jaws/claws are about to snap shut.

In general: yes. But I’ve certainly had to use swathes of screwdrivers that are worse at being screwdrivers than my Swiss army knife is. Same I believe applies here: there’s a rela…

IMO at least on PC, BFV was occasionally a really good shooter, but it was a constant back and forth between updates that ruined the entire game and new swathes of cheaters on the …

Google and/or IMDb don’t count as discovery apps or not hosting the content?

It’s not necessarily punishment, e.g. leaving an abusive partner is in most cases about self-preservation, and if intended as a punishment, very ineffective at that. That said, I t…

What does db.safe do though? How does it know what is the safe way of escaping at that point of the SQL? It will have no idea whether it’s going inside a string, if it’s in a field…

Assuming a driving culture where other people won’t instantly insert themselves into the empty space in between, yes, it’s the exact same speed. I’d very much like that.

If all the endpoints share the same resource constraints and traffic patterns, sure you can just scale up the monolith. Even otherwise, yes, you sure still can, just like you can w…

That’s assuming the divested Chrome would then proceed to lose its gigantic market share and thus the mind-boggling proceeds from defaulting to Google as the search engine. They mi…

Having teams is exactly the wrong reason to have micro services, having endpoints with different traffic patterns and resource/scaling constraints is exactly the correct reason.

Yeah, I agree in spirit but I think the answer is more ”it depends” than something where you should feel bad or something if you deviate from it. If washDishes also sends a bunch o…

Then what does the function that calls the split functions get called? foo_and_bar_and_qoo? And if they’re called only under some conditions?

It’s also not the same kind of stress. I’ve interviewed many a candidate who were sweating and/or shaking at some point of the interview (with heavy reassurance and me trying to to…

Pizza code? Central components are mostly clearly distinguishable and glued together in a fairly consistent manner.

And it’s not just ancestors! One thing that blew me away after moving from Finland to Germany was that while willows in Finland are predominantly shrubs or bushes, and maples are t…

For sure, zero disagreement there! Just pointing out my personal observation that most people seem to not really do that. In myself, overthinking is a quality I value very highly i…

As someone having experienced (and of course still experiencing) similar struggles as a person with ADHD, the Heureka moment for me was realizing that the difference is I'm overthi…

Seeing a modern foresting machine in action was one of the most daunting experiences of my life. Making an AI drive it is pointless, it’s already at such high productivity that the…

Surprisingly, it’s also present in live sports, see for example this article (in Finnish) about sounds in winter sports broadcasts: https://yle.fi/aihe/a/20-10005843

Makes me wonder if there should be an open source test suite for numerical routines, i.e. just a big table (in JSON or something) of inputs, transformations and expected outputs, s…

Mad LoCs, dude, gotta make alotta lines, that’s what productivity is!

Sorry to get a bit nerdy here, but in JS, neither pass by value nor pass by reference make sense as it’s not defined by the spec and much less followed by the implementations. Stri…

I largely agree with you and share your sentiments. However, in software there’s plenty of standard bearers distracting us from the real issues by trying to push for things like ha…

Pokatokaino is indeed not a Finnish word, but contains multiple: Pokat - slang for sunglasses, Kato - slang version of katso (look), Toka - slang version of toinen (ordinal second)…

Yep, it can be done right. I’ve been in a team where we had more services than people yet most of the services were just chugging along with little to no maintenance (thanks to mos…
