Lots of things have lights on them though. I'm thinking every status light on every piece of hardware. Edit: also, I'm not exactly filled with knowledge on new lamp design/construc…

Yeah, that's what I figured you meant. It absolutely is usually the database, guess you're also saying it's not the server-side either lol

By "web-side" you mean the client side I assume?

I think architecture is overemphasized a lot. I am quite plainly talking about writing code that runs efficiently to support a wide-variety of tasks. To do that, one needs to write…

I did not mean to imply that consensus, stakeholder buy-in, and strategic direction are easy, or even that they are easier than writing good code. My point is just that the code pa…

One thing I wonder about is how applicable your statement about web apps is to something like lamps or lighting generally. How many electrical engineers have re-designed a circuit …

Your comment brings ripgrep to mind. Grep is about as ubiquitous a software tool as you can get with a very clear contract on input-output and it has absolutely stood the test of t…

I think civil engineering is the main field in the US that relies on certifications/tests for FE/PE, there's probably more I'm unaware of though. As I pointed out above though, aer…

European countries, historically known for their dominance in the field of software.

This is such a tired take. Aerospace engineers who build rockets do not have some certification body allowing them to be called engineers. Same with most electrical engineers worki…

I agree that all those pieces are important, for sure. But it can all be undercut by a few for-loops that don't consider string re-allocations. That covers the "don't understand go…

IDK, a sufficiently complex consumer or enterprise app winds up having big performance problems if people don't know what they're doing w.r.t. the code they write and how they conn…

Starlink satellites can provide anyone with Internet.

I'm sure your $20 will make waves.

If you're retired and that exposed to stocks then you deserve to lose the money you risked. Pretty sure most people just sit in the default requirement 20XX year funds, which heavi…

If your 401k is in QQQ then I'm not sure you're going for a low risk portfolio

The aesthetics are literally vs code though .....

Wow that article made a hard right turn about halfway through. "Most organizations improperly account for engineering teams and incorrectly consider both code and team growth to be…

You actually should have a high bar to make grandiose claims like calling someone a Nazi. > I personally think it's enough to show that Elon has given a bullhorn to some of the lou…

Cool, one blip. https://wiki.aiimpacts.org/ai_timelines/hardware_and_ai_time...

>What if he supported a political party in Germany that wanted to ban immigrants based on their religion, and even deport naturalized citizens based on their religion? Oh wait, he …

Me doing other things to get that same information means that it is diminished.

> Referring to all "non-whites" as violent brutes who would indiscriminately kill all white people is white supremacist thinking. It's a necessary part of white people justifying c…

I think there's a few more than just 1 in this case

Yes. Are you actually being serious? Look at the last 60 years.
