I've been working remotely on/off for the past decade and vastly prefer it to commuting to an office. It has afforded me the opportunity to live in a corner of the world that I truly love: a quiet and remote 20+ acres property in rural Colorado.

In my experience, the key is to work for a company that is remote-first (or even remote-only), because it will be structured accordingly. I've never worked on a team that's partially remote - I can imagine that could cause friction and a certain degree of alienation.

I would also add that there is definitely an advantage to being on-premises and in a tech hub for an engineer that is at the beginning of their career: easier access to mentoring and learning opportunities, creating a professional network, meeting friends, etc.. It's a tradeoff.

I've actually seen your hypothetical in action, but the bug was even more subtle. Assume service A, B and C. A and C both need information from each other which is usually cached. Normally, you'd deploy one service at a time so the call chain would go A -> B -> C -> A or A -> C then A -> B -> C but in this particular instance, A and C's caches were cold, causing an explosion of service calls that took both services down.

Howard Stern makes a risk-free $80M/year for 4 hours of radio 3 days a week. Maybe he could make that much making podcasts, but why risk it ? He's at the tail-end of his career anyway.

Do you know a lot of "smart" people who would trade a guaranteed $80M/year for possibly more doing podcasts ?

A car attack killed 6 and wounded 30 in Melbourne in January of this year.

Granted, attacks are much rarer in Australia. Part of this is attributable to the population difference: all things proportional, you'd expect 13 attacks in the US for 1 in Australia if the rate is the same between the two countries.

What he's saying is that your cure might be worse than the disease.

Nobody knows what the effects of mass-confiscation would have on American society, but the range of possibility includes civil war and massive unrest. Most people would surrender their firearms peacefully but there's a strong minority that would not do so peacefully.

In areas with strict gun control but access to a black market, mass killings still happen with firearms (see the November 2015 attacks in Paris or the 2017 Quebec City Mosque Attacks).

In areas with strict gun control but limited access to firearms, mass killings still happen with other modalities. A lot of things can effectively kill a bunch of human beings assembled in a restricted area: knives, machetes, bombs, trucks, etc..

The idea that restricting one modality of mass killing will prevent all mass killings is misguided. Would it reduce the frequency or the lethality ? That's debatable. Someone who has decided to pursue mass killing as systematically as the Las Vegas shooter will simply find another weapon to kill en masse.

So, your solution is to liquidate a bank that controls 2 T$, employs 265,000 persons and has over 200 B$ in shareholder value? Don't get me wrong, this fraud affected a lot of people but ultimately liquidating the whole thing will have a negative effect multiple orders of magnitude greater.

It certainly does matter.

In terms of texture and taste, white tuna may very well be indistinguishable from escolar for a lot of people. It's still much less desirable than white tuna. Japan has banned escolar in 1977, deeming it toxic.

I don't mean to nitpick but your explanation is missing a critical detail. The chain of command for operational purposes (military operations) completely bypasses the Joints Chiefs of Staff and goes directly to the Unified Combatant Commands. By design, there is no military leader that has operational control over more than a fraction of US forces at a time, which further improves civilian control over the military.

The JCS have a very important role but their control is mostly administrative (doctrine, assignments, equipment, promotions, etc.).

Don't get me wrong, I love AWS. I use ~15 products almost everyday. I actually like how powerful IAM is.

But yeah, CloudFormation just sucks. It does. It's painful because it's a really good idea but the configuration format is inadequate for the task.

CF should have been implemented using a declarative DSL similar to Puppet from the start. I've been tinkering with the idea of creating a DSL with a JSON translation layer but I always assumed AWS would eventually move away from JSON anyway, making the effort futile. Four years later and still no improvements. Definitely my biggest disappointment with their platform.

Liberals as a whole are easy people to sell to. They have a fundamental revulsion to status quo, regardless of how positive it is, and their ears will perk up whenever they hear a point of view which matches their own prejudices. California, therefore, is an easy sell to Californians who tend to skew liberal. Just spend a few days in the state and listen to television and radio ads. They don't say "California." They say "Cali."

Blanket statements like "Cassandra doesn't work" and "Hadoop is a complete waste of hosts for most companies" are unproductive and contribute nothing, unless you can back them with data and real world examples.

So, what data do you base these assertions on ? Also, not to burst your bubble but a lot of businesses (if not the majority) run Spark on YARN. And Spark is built on the JVM.

The point that was made is that multiple (static) classes cannot be declared in the same file, which is 100% false. I'm not arguing that C# is functionally equivalent to Java. There was no mention of "compilation unit" or "partial classes", which are a completely different subject.

It doesn't matter whether the additional classes defined in the file are top level or not, they're still classes that can be used independently.
