This just tells me you haven’t worked on a big/complex enough system.

If it were that easy people would not be paying for it.

That Romania and Iran also have strong education in STEM.

Your point is these countries don’t? What point exactly are you trying to make.

It’s been barely two generations since the death camps. My grandma, who is still alive, can tell you stories of seeing trains take half her village away.

Intergenerational trauma is a real psychological phenomenon.

A „hilarious anxiety” is an incredibly naive world view.

Would you want to work with someone who you couldn’t communicate with?

This is not a matter of prejudice but basic competence.

Happening in Australia for more than a decade

Postgraduate degrees in particular are rife with cheating, collusion, and „students” mainly in pursuit of a visa than an education.

In a commercial setting (i.e. not a side-project) the choice of programming language is also a business decision.

The main factors being:

- How large is the pool of available candidates for this language? A recruiting risk.

- How mature is this language? A business continuity risk.

I have an insatiable appetite for non-fiction - history, geography, politics, etc which I'm fairly certain can be traced back to a series of educational picture books I devoured as a child.

Each would survey some broad topic, for example Ancient Egypt. It would be full of detailed drawings/illustrations and accompanying text snippets. "What did the inside of a pyramid look like?", "How did the Ancient Egyptians use chariots?", and so on.

Mum would always buy me a new one every other week. The topics were diverse & broad, and so never got boring.

A bonus was when a subject I had read in these books happened to come up at school :-)

To be honest I wish the Attention paper never came out.

All of this AI/LLM stuff is exasperating. I don't think I can stomach to hear another MBA talk about "leveraging AI" in their next startup/product initiative.

Cool, better autocomplete in my IDE is handy. But that's about it. I'd trade that back in a heart beat if I didn't have to have awful chatbots shoved in my face every time I open a webpage.

Retirement has never felt so far away.

What are some alternatives to CrowdStrike?

I’ve had plenty of productive “water cooler” conversations. Especially with people from other teams, as we don’t interact with each other much. Cross pollinating ideas in a large organisation is conducive to spontaneous creativity.

However, neither of our statements are very useful as they are just anecdotes, a result of our personal experiences.

This seems more relevant to physical consumer goods

I share the sentiment but I don’t think this is tech related.

Incremental rollouts is one feature that a platform can save you having to build, i.e. enable the flag for 1 -> 10 ... -> 100% of users.

An auto incrementing integer (for internal use) and a string (for external) will be enough for the vast majority of use cases, is simple to understand, and works well.

100% agree. I find the "passive" heating options like radiators or floor heating much more comfortable than being blasted by hot air from above.
