Unless you're putting a camera into your colon, it's not a colonoscopy

Hadn't they been phasing out the catalog business in favor of brick-and-mortar stores?

This is one thing that distinguishes Bluesky from other sites: they don't penalize you for linking outside the platform

I've actually been noticing this with a bunch of staff+ engineers at my current workplace. Previously what could be done with a TL plus 2 or 3 juniors can be done by a single person. I'm seeing some really sophisticated internal tools being built to help internal users with issues that previously required oncall engineer time.

Obviously we're not talking about getting rid of FAA or FEMA, but rather breaking up DHS back how it was before and getting rid of ICE. TSA doesn't do jack squat and is almost entirely security theater; it needs to go.

5 year statute of limitations, unlimited if it results in death.

Unless he pardons literally every ICE agent, a new administration can and certainly should levy all kinds of charges. That's one reason folks have been documenting so much about what's going on even if it can't be stopped right now.

In my case it's actually that there was no type annotation for the first N years of the project (long before I joined) and a couple people started using them in advisory mode but with no enforcement.

Just a huge mess. One reason I'm not a big fan of python for large projects.

The amount of crazy stupid bugs in the 8-year-old codebase I work on is shocking. Every time I work on a new subsystem I end up fixing 20 incidental bugs; lots of N+1 query problems, completely wrong type annotations, all kinds of things.

No, he's referring to using the human body, brain, and nose to figure out when to take the trash out to the street, with Home Assistant giving a reminder.

The saying was something like "Gene can make a good script out of mediocre one. He can also make a good script out of a great one."

Middle managers supervise managers. They're managers of managers. Too many people think "middle manager" means "line manager".

Models don't have a sense of time, and wasting resources (token spend) is something that it's not clear they're optimized against

The imprisonment and lack of freedom is the punishment. The prison itself doesn't need to be actively unpleasant - the whole point is you cannot leave.

Loss of freedom is the punishment, not being cooked to death in prison.

I've written at least hundreds of thousands of lines of Java code in my career, possibly over a million. I used to be extremely fast at building new features when I worked on a MLOC Java app I'd architected from the ground up. A huge percentage of the characters in that code were not typed by me, but were generated by my IDE.

Did I have an unfair advantage compared to the guys who were trying to get by using Notepad and the commandline?
