so many of these ideas seem to hand wave over “we’ll need to implement a whole new waste stream worldwide. don’t mind that we can hardly manage >1 stream as it is”

i think remote work is great, but some early face to face can fix a bunch of problems imo.

in his case i think he more or less knew what he was doing, and showed up on calls, but delegated the work to some other people.

we’d hear people in the background of his audio discussing things really oddly similar to tasks he’d been assigned and had outstanding. he was putting in (bad) PRs at all hours of day and night, and never had any recollection of any email, slack conversation, or his own PRs.

the company fired him after six months or so.

no kidding. i wouldn’t sell a 15% stake in a lemonade stand for $100. that doesn’t even cover the hassle of reviewing the contract and signing a bunch of notarized paperwork

> Yep, that's exactly it. Your TLS certificate is not sent as string, and neither are your TCP packets, nor the images contained in them.

...all of those things mentioned have defined serialization. i expect all of them have had security issues because of problems with deserialization code.

any government messaging plan that revolves around twitter was irresponsible. same with whatever other single social media platform you want to name.

do you not make mistakes, or do you not work with anything that matters?

the US criminal justice system, which isn't very popular, seems to be more tolerant to human error than you.

Nonsense.

> Even if you're family has been here for 500 years, people still want to know where you're family came from originally.

I can only recall one person ever being unsatisfied by the name of a state when asking where I was from, and they were satisfied when I named a city.

(even if it wasn’t sync rights, there was something else musically related that was created in response to technological development. wikipedia will have plenty on it)

> We can probably expand this to things like coffee, but you could argue that it provides value.

why should anyone need coffee, when they can just take caffeine pills?

i've found that its quality is proportional to the amount of questions about the subject on the internet. if i ask it for help with popular javascript frameworks, it vastly improves my productivity (i'm not a frontend person). it still coughs up wrong stuff half the time, but even then it can cut through the constant churn of the frameworks' terminology and give me enough hint to find what i need in the docs quickly.

if i ask it about, say, specific details of the STM32 HAL, it knows just enough to come up with something that i'll waste my time reading.

if not how do you decide to allocate them?

i love fdb, but, most people _should_ just use postgres. you should have a very precise explanation for why you want fdb instead of postgres. you're trading away a lot of things when you go to fdb.

> I would encourage everyone to at least take a look at FDB.

yes, make sure you're aware of it so you can spot the situations where it _is_ the right answer.
