I always remember this from the example my professor gave - 'raise the control rods by 1 inch' vs 'raise the control rods to a height of 4 inches'
I've been using the term 'macro-services' to describe this middle ground.
worth re-upping - postgres requests an id from the sequence for each row of the incoming data ahead of time since it doesn't know which rows are updates and which are inserts (although presumably this could be…
this also matters if you do a lot of upserts on a table that are predominantly updates. postgres requests an id from the sequence for each row of the incoming data ahead of time since it doesn't know which rows are…
In my experience people are inaccurately pessimistic, in part due to a lack of imagination. So risk assessment that's more accurate will present as more optimistic.
DRY needs to be balanced with SRP (Single Responsibility Principle). You can legitimately have two functions that are exactly the same but they should not be DRY'd up if they are actually serving different purposes. The…

the Magic / More Magic switch is a favorite http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/magic-story.html
Also changes to the diagram (at a certain resolution) require looping in specific senior people for review.
I'm not presenting an argument against UBI - I am pointing out that his argument is flawed. Small tribes of humans defending hunting/foraging grounds is a state of pre-civilization. Life required work then too, and…
> Land used to exist without a monetary cost to access it. That was the natural way of things prior to the private property system and monetary system. All land / resources were staked out by small tribes of humans who…
What about the disk being reused by another process without being thoroughly wiped by AWS?
We can't even fully understand chess (or even checkers), in the way that we can completely understand tic-tac-toe.
You can buy clips that prevent the beeping. The top result is also a bottle opener... https://www.amazon.com/seat-belt-buckle-alarm-stopper/s?k=se...
I got flagged for paying a friend back for "cuban food"...
Thank you for your work! Postgres is great to use and the regular release of useful features has been a very nice benefit. One unobvious (to me) but possibly necessary side effect of the INSERT...ON CONFLICT pattern is…
What if someone hacks it to intentionally blind you?
I found that studying philosophy has had an extremely useful application to software development and architecture.
I think it is also useful to be aware of the specific terms your team might need and introduce words to those more abstract concepts. This frequently happens with naming specific code patterns or important classes in…

In Peru I saw are several very large stones sitting on the trail between the quarry and a partially finished temple. One of them at the bottom of a very steep hill. Our guide did speculate that getting the stones on…
In most cases wouldn't you send a drone instead?
The oldest demographic age target for their advertising is 35+

Yes but this case requires Turing machines that produce very very large (BB large) outputs and then halt. Is that provable for a specific machine?
