This reads like it's in a vacume and assumes the business requirements were comunicated, they were clear, and and static. None of which is reality. Additionally things get updadated and need con rant maintenance. Gone are the days of writing code and letting it run untouched for years.

Tech debt usually occurs when the people implementing it aren't aligned with the with the stakeholders.

There are two types of tech debt in my experience, things get out of date because they weren't maintained and it's harder to do now years later than absorbing some of that work a little at a time throughout the years. And the other kind is because of poorly written code which is often caused by poor business practices and changing requirements.

I've never paid anywhere close to that. Virtually no parking expenses, and I've had 3 reliable vehicles all have been around 12-15k and I've gotten 5-8 years out of them with a couple major repairs. Also the grocery store is very far away and dangerous to bike towards, and I would have to rig my bike for storage. American stores are also geared for bulk larger purchases and you save a substantial amount of money, and even if you for simple things like toilet paper or paper towels.

This is why I haven't swapped, but I didn't realize they've accounted for this at the client level. Makes sense, still makes me think about IoT devices though and things I don't have 'control' over like my chrome cast.

This made a lot more sense imo when rights were less equal and the expectation was for the wife to stay at home. I think as thinks become more equal the more irrelevant an doutdated the current legal expectations are around marriage. Especially because the state will enforce child support regardless of martial status.

At some point the narrative has to change when things are more equal. I think there is a lot of data supporting that they have in many ways changed already. Women are more educated on average and more are completing higher education degrees than men and have been for the last few years.

I wrote software for a company that sold software to Texas hhsc, they use this to look for hidden assets when assessing benefits. This is the only system I know of that contains salary info. We integrated with their apis for a number of products and their data is a mess and often not very accurate. Also their api has a decent error rate. 5 years ago anyway, their api would break with any non unicode characters in a name. There were some foreign companies that we couldn't get data from for example.

I hate this and find this just as academic and problematic as the whiteboard and quiz styles. Success in software development is about making the right trade offs to deliver while saving cost (ie your time). When you leave it so open an abstract, the dev looses the ability to discern this. "Production" standards are entirely based on context of the project and very specific requirements. Do you need structure logging, or rate limiting, or error handling, or notifications, or system status ect.. With do you already have systems in place to integrate these. Do you need a custom solution (like your own lambda engine) or do the off the shelve solutions (like aws lambda) meet the requirements.

I agree with much of this as I think some of this has contributed to people's economic agency. But I think we should analyze the impact of these and not just chalk them up as actual improvements in people's liberty.

For example does enabling a person's ability to vote actually increase one's liberty in a corrupt/narrow system.

This.

The conversation had was entirely one sided with no grace or responsibility. Furthermore if they don't appreciate it that feeling isn't going to change. They are rolling their bullshit down to you because they lack the maturity for something else. Also juniors are expected to need hand holding to adjust academic expectations for real world and if they haven't done anything to correct or provide more direct technical feedback that is also on them.

Prions are doubly terrifying because it's not a typical disease. From what I understand it's proteins folding in a different way that come into (the prions can be dead or alive) and the healthy proteins will take on the new form. It's scary because typical sterilization (high heat) for surgery does not work guarantee it and the heat required is not currently practical.

The shakes from that cannibals get are prions. I also though I saw a link to a subset of alzehimer cases but can't find it.

The problem with the Bible is that it's so unclear and contradictory, the reader is able to cobble vastly different theological perspectives together. Hence thousands of denominations who do not get along and historically were violent towards each other. The church up until recent history was a violent institution of power.

I think this is the naive take. Depending on company size and industry lawyers do have business input. There are man tech, and insurance, and finance companies that employ legal strategies to drive business. The big ones that come to mind would be Microsoft, Intel, and oracle.

It's a 'new' tech with a lot of shady political hand waving that impacts your body. Like redefining vaccine, a rushed testing process and... oh yea the feds waived all legal liabilities for the private entities that developed it.

I think given the context that if your under 65 you are more likely to have medical complications driving to the grocery store its a pretty understandable perspective.

Also the mandate has no exception for natural immunityI. It is I had it and no symptoms of it except I couldn't taste anything, given above, I why would I get a vaccine.
