I don’t know about curing loneliness but when I wrote our bot for doing code reviews I was quite thrown back by how positive and sympathetic the feedback was compared to my peers. It felt like my bot human than us humans!
Was it fake? Sure. I mean I instructed it to praise good changes after all. But it still felt good.
And now I’m noticing another effect, my human peers have started mimicking some its behaviours.
That’s how the market works. You avoid paying extra taxes than required right? Even though that denies the government extra funding. The only difference being one has been decided as wrong and the other is fine.
Can you elaborate on why ‘many large companies’ are choosing MongoDB over alternatives and what their use cases are? I’ve been using Mdb for a decade and with how rich the DB landscape is for optimising particular workloads I just don’t see what the value proposition is for Mdb is compared to most of them. I certainly wouldn’t use it for any data intensive application when there’s other fantastic OLAP dbs, nor some battle hardened distributed nodes use case, so that leaves a ‘general purpose db with very specific queries and limited indexes’. But then why not just use as PG as others say?
Yes and no. The aggressive marketing is successfully entrenching it to future generations so whether it’s successful with the current gen of c++ programmers or even GC languages like Java doesn’t really matter imo.
People practice personas everyday of their lives, the only difference in the post is the explicit labelling of them. The avatar I present here is different to how I behave in person, or how I engage at work, my friends, my family.
I’m sure there were many discussions that led to concluding some of the languages design decisions and how they’d be impactful for ‘coding in the meta verse’, would love to see slides on that too.
Nice idea though what happens is you manage to quickly recruit the person and then a month later the other job that they’ve been slowly recruited on, eventuates and they walk off, leaving you worse off than if you never hired them.
Personally I just try to find people that have already experienced years of pain of big companies and rejoice in the freedom most startups offers.
I’m not suggesting apple is doing nefarious, it was simply an example of a large dataset. I assume they’re encrypting/scrubbing all your PII as that’s their whole motto.
But unless they’re doing some voodoo magic then yes the data is leaving is your device in some form. Hence why I can view every heartbeat (aggregated by the minute) since I put on the original Apple Watch in 2015 despite changing all my devices and only restoring from iCloud. Indeed I expect it’s just part of your iCloud data storage.
Actually I just launched the health app now and I can see the app explicitly asks if you want to allow sharing your data with apple, so if you say ‘yes’ then you’re not only storing but allowing apple to query your data (minus PII).
Or it tells us something of how much data is being scooped up per device. Certainly when I look through the raw health data collected it’s quite alarming and I’m sure that’s just a drop in the ocean.
If you’re using apple and just want a custom domain you can do so with an iCloud+ subscription. I switched away to it from Fastmail and have been happy since.
This sounds like you’re just externalising the costs of integration of your changes on to other people.
Generally we want to reduce any accidentally complexity and the way to achieve that is to reduce the latency of code reaching production. So for example you want to minimise PR/branches in flight ideally to 0. So you should be asking how you can reduce them - eg trunk based development, omitting asynchronous code reviews etc.
Your experience is different to mine. Here in Australia the status page was inaccessible. Which immediately leads to common wisdom on monitoring systems - the monitor must always be separate to the monitored.
Cool, we’ve reached the point where to improve our chances of protecting free public speech we have to abandon the public stock market and entrust it to a benevolent few.
Change starts with the individual. Inspire others with your actions.
For example I may lack the sway to affect political action on climate change but I can still change the way I live - solar power, consume less meat, etc.
The airports are private owned so your argument goes either way with the CEO/investors deciding to demolish whole suburbs and plonk an airport with all its detrimental effects on human health in the middle of a city. Crazy how a single/few individuals can do that.
Do you have a reference on how quiet these are? I mean it’s fantastic if true but half the reason my MBP gathers dust is the noise under load compared to my (almost) silent 5950x under load. But yes it’s a big box that I have no intention of moving.
Was it fake? Sure. I mean I instructed it to praise good changes after all. But it still felt good.
