I find I spend most of my time debugging R, which is astoundingly difficult since it doesn’t report line numbers on errors. Most of my code is in C++, so that helps, albeit it’s still overly complicated to start up R in gdb. Amazingly Julia isn’t much better when it comes to error reporting either.

It’s figurative, but unfortunately people do kill Buddhas, and continue to try and do so today. From physically attacking them, to poisonings, little has changed in 2000 years.

Yeah exactly, I think a small percentage of people do and they lead the innovation. The overwhelming majority don’t understand even the most basic reasoning behind almost anything since they never rest and reflect on what they’re doing, but follow the buzz as a career path — which works to a degree better than if they were coming up with their own ideas at least.

I have a client that I tell folks frequently they need to rest and reflect in order to improve their leverage and understanding how to better manage their growth, since they’re just exhausted and do stupid stuff all the time as a result. So the simplest observations I offer they think I’m a genius for.

> Unexpected issues – in addition to routine suffering, long distance live transport can also result in fires, delays or sinking of livestock ships causing the suffering and death of large numbers of animals.

Apparently sinking ships with live stock is not uncommon?

Has anyone ever been able to make a reservation on that site? Anytime I look at locations they’re either closed, or booked, or you have to plan a half year in advance.

As long as you don’t have more than one person picking up produce from a bin at the same time you can just measure the change in weight from the bin it’s taken out of. That has to be super cheap technology at this point.

Interesting, at my Trader Joe’s they always ask, and when I do say I couldn’t find something they just shrug and apologize. Ironically this is the TJ’s up the hill from the new Go store mentioned.

That makes sense, do you have any annual spikes too? Like Uber has Halloween, which I wouldn’t have guessed as being the worst.

So when does Yelp see spikes in traffic needing a custom Autoscaler? I guess just the daily time zone based sine wave type load?

Not everyone does, the UnrealEngine doesn’t for example, you can see project code words in the commit history.

There’s also the class of pointless meeting where nontechnical managers don’t understand what they’re responsible for so use them to as a way to “manage by feel”. They call them to see what people’s reactions are to fishing questions to judge the situation, and to use them as training sessions. These I find to be the most counterproductive meetings.
