There are automations. You can even add git hooks iirc. Mostly I find the lint and other code quality integrations nice to have in the IDE, since the inline results allow me to navigate directly to the code
Diffing is a lot easier too
Nitpicking can be automated by a linter, then reviews can actually sit back and review more important things like high-level design and scalability
as if peer reviews could actually spot bugs that tests can’t catch
There can’t be bugs if there are no tests to catch them! Ofc you can also automate test coverage standards. But PRs are sometimes the only way to catch bugs, even and especially with senior devs in my experience bc they are lazy and will skip writing tests, or write useless or bare minimum tests just to check off code standards and merge on ahead
Ah yep that triggered the full memory for me…it was a book called Tikki Tikki Tempo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tikki_Tikki_Tembo
Oh man this is stirring up some memories from early grade school about an English version of this that we used to sing about a boy with a long name and his younger brother.
I always wondered if that was just the moral of the story: don’t give your children long names. Which my parents did to me 😡
I think of it in terms of levels building on top of each other, or circles enveloping each other; also how I evaluate interviewees and new hires:
In short, learning how to do something right, but also alternative strategies, how to pick the best option, and finally make sure you always end up with the right choice, or automatically do so, by design.
It’s at core a matter of experience, but taking on new opportunities and reading up helps to accelerate that.
I’ll check it out! Thanks for the rec
And about the Indian stories, I think you’ll find a rhythmic pattern. Maybe the translations can ruin it, I can’t confirm or deny this.
I think you’re right, I’m probably missing out on certain contexts and linguistic play reading the English translations. It adds to the melancholy in a way though, knowing there’s more beneath the surface of the words I can only barely grasp
I’m reading the Kathasaritsagara now! Reading those kind of collections of tales makes me feel like I’m living among the ancient/medieval villagers of India, an interesting perspective shift to say the least
I know we are currently in the ___ phase but where is the line drawn? Does this ___ justify genocide? Im not inclined to believe so.
The line is genocide, if nothing else. The blanks don’t matter. Your position on genocide should be 110% against it, the extra 10% (ideally more) being proactive measures to fight fascism to ensure genocide never happens again in history.
There is a baggage associated with the word “cult” now.
It used to mean pretty much a specific practice of a religion. For example, in a polytheistic religion, you can choose a favorite god and perhaps even worship that figure exclusively, even while believing in all the others eg. later Hindu ishtadevata practices
This kind of cult evolved into those around mysteries or mysterious figures (eg. Eleusinia, Mithraism) and real-world figures like monarchs like the Roman emperor. Eventually you have the death cults of the last few decades which cemented the pejorative sense of “cult” and also inspired the sociology around the same. I should also mention, there is a chauvinism in this as well eg. cargo cults
To answer your question, there is this historical context to it. But also the perspective: one can look back through history or across the world to identify “cults” but not recognize that one lives in a culture or participates in cultish behavior themselves
Any biography about some liberal political leader, like that Obama one. I think people buy them just because they trend on the top 10 books to read list. But everyone I’ve met who has it just keeps it on their coffee table to make it seem like they’re into reading now. The only one I know who finishes those biographies is my grandpa who is a little senile and bored now.
Marx didn’t consider human nature so he’s totally wrong
The series is good, idk about the first few books in themselves though
The new feature being demoed vs the legacy code it depends on
Prasad is offered to the gods to symbolically consume but then it’s given to people to actually consume. You’re not supposed to say no. People even sometimes carry prasad across the country and world so they can give it to others to eat.
Idk why any reasonable Hindu would get angry at someone eating prasad, regardless of who they are.
Others have mentioned, everything is moving away from each other, like the surface of an expanding balloon. But that is what we observe, and there is more beyond the observable universe.
There is an idea that our universe might actually be in a black hole in a higher universe. To expand on the balloon simile (pun intended), this would be like a balloon expanding uniformly except in a spot, a bubble appears and expands faster. A bubble within a bubble. Kind of a tumor, an outgrowth universe. Hope I’ve been illustrative enough.
It’s not exactly what you asked, but a higher level black hole is kind of something pulling all matter in our universe instead of pushing.
If you are out somewhere dark enough and look up long enough, you usually see several shooting stars.
Also interesting: some cultures recognize images in nebulae and dark spots in the sky instead of or alongside constellations (eg. Australian indigenous Emu in the Sky)
Voice messages are good for those who speak a language which doesn’t get focused on by transcription services or are too old to read tiny text
From what I read, it seems like they took over a year to investigate the cyber attack before making their conclusions public.
Also I thought the party line was communism, not anti-Americanism.
To be honest, this here doesn’t seem that out-of-place in terms of how a sovereign nation would respond to a cyber attack by another sovereign nation.
Sounds like you might enjoy people being honest to you rather than enjoying compliments or criticism. Criticism is more blunt when said to someone’s face, but compliments can seem disingenuous, so maybe you don’t believe the compliments subconsciously
