It’s the perfect match and balance between engineering, creativity and fast iteration

Please don’t give them ideas

Not sure if the Devs are the ones placing things on the map though

How many NICs do you have on your opnsense machine?

Elon is not taking it deep enough

I don’t need research because I’ve been to Tokyo plenty of times and I saw in fact lots of trash in the ground.

And again you’re wrong, trash bins for recycling do exist in Europe because I use them all the time, and I also happen to have visited lots of European countries and I didn’t see that much more trash in the ground than Japan. It’s true for cigar butts (its mind boggling in the Mediterranean countries) , but not trash. You probably had one “bad” experience and are using that evidence anecdotally. You are comparing Japan, a country, to Europe, a continent, it’s not fair

You are lying or not paying attention. Got to Tokyo and you’ll have plenty (as per Japanese standard) of trash in the streets specially near Shinjuku and Shibuya

And yes they mostly take their trash with them as there are no trash bins. But is it a smart design though?

What you’re asking is akin to: why are people impressed by the airplane? We’ve already reached the Americas and India by boat.

SpaceX, and others actually are not advancing science per se, but are greatly improving/optimising the engineering so that it can be used in cheaper ways by others.

There’s also the issue that after the moon landing we didn’t really improve that much and much of the knowledge faded

• You will spend your entire career chasing trends.

Depends on the language, that’s mostly a JavaScript/typescript issue.

• The market is volatile. People are constantly getting abruptly laid off. SD has never been very stable, so you should plan on getting a new job every few years.

Depends on the country, where I’m from there has been very few layoffs.

• Software companies are constantly looking for ways to make SD easier. As a result, your value will decrease over time, in preference for bootcampers and 2 year degree graduates.

Not sure what to say, I haven’t felt my value decrease. All I see are bubbles saying they will replace me… and then they burst.

Nobody listens to developers. Your manager’s beliefs about SD come entirely from consultants, magazines, and Elon Musk tweets.

Agree but that’s more of an engineering wide problem, specially when you get managers with very few engineering experience. Take the Apollo landings as an opposite example: great managers that were great engineers.

• Nobody cares about quality software. If you take the time to make your code efficient and lightweight, all your manager sees is you taking longer to make something than your peers. After all, we can just raise hardware requirements if the software is slow.

This is a bit too generic to argue against. You can get that in electrical engineering no? If you take more time designing that PCB because you want to better place the components to improve heat dissipation, will your manager care in the end?

That’s the journalists’ fault. They have no business going through studies like this, that are not meant for them to make conclusions.

Believe whatever makes you feel better, that’s all you can do, really.

Just stop spreading this bs, and stop reading news like these. Believe what accredited sources tell you, like your doctor or other professionals

I also never had an accident where I needed the seatbelt

That’s not a nice thing to say. When you grow up perhaps we can continue this discussion

Not sure about java, but I migrated a fairly big c++ project knowing only the basics of Bazel. Disclaimer: I know the codebase extremely well and we don’t have any third party dependencies and the code is c++ and some python generators, validators, etc (which fits the bill for Bazel perfectly)

What I found super hard were toolchains. It’s very verbose to define a toolchain

This was solved by moving to bazel. It’s a bit more verbose and resource heavy, but the language is sane and how you structure your build code makes a lot of sense

Not sure why you’re getting so acid. I never said you can only believe in scientists, just pointed its usefulness to validate beliefs. Can you show me where I said it?

You seem to have a massive negative bias against “overmoneyed dork” which I assume is scientists, so I don’t think we’re going anywhere here.

And to further your ignorance: Ancient Greeks knew the earth was round and mathematicians helped prove it… so one of the “dorks”.

I don’t know as biology(?) is not my area of expertise. The way I see it it can be valuable for us as a society to be more empathetic? I know you shouldn’t need science for that but hey …

It’s still anecdotal evidence which turns into common sense. You need science and method to validate these things.

Your comment reads like a Facebook comment. That’s the whole point of science, don’t trust common sense, prove it.

I don’t know enough about them but how much vendor lock-in is there usually? Could I use a distribution of my choosing, or even add an extra NIC?
