A central issue of contestation is elasticity versus discipline , elasticity for me and discipline for you, alchemy of banking and money funding for me, austerity and borrowing/payment for you. Like 2009, the (coming/arriving) financial collapse of 2020 will reveal the asymmetry of power between the financial sector and the rest of the economy, and it’ll especially highlight how the financial sector is continually privatizing profits....

I am an old tech guy. I was at the conference where TBL announced the web and I wrote my first HTML snippet just a few years later. But I pretty quickly moved from front end HTML onto back end web development and there are techniques that, while common today, I have never learned. An example of this is making urls appear, with metadata, when they are pasted into a messaging tool like: Facebook Messenger Apple Messages Facebook itself ....

This is a short summary of some of the terminology used in machine learning, with an emphasis on neural networks. I’ve put it together primarily to help my own understanding, phrasing it largely in non-mathematical terms. As such it may be of use to others who come from more of a programming than a mathematical background. Note that there are some overlapping or even slightly different meanings of some words or expressions depending on the ..

So I just dropped a pill on the ground as I took my daily vitamins and I picked it it up and said "5 second rule" before popping it in my mouth. And then it struck me: In the age of covid, the 5 second rule no longer applies. Covid can live on surfaces for up to 3 days. MIT Technology Review

Note : This is from a real world thing that I'm about to release. Like a lot of database apps in the world, mine generally tend to use auto incrementing ids for object identifiers. An object identifier is a value in a system which uniquely identifies something. Let's say you have a url like this: http://localhost:3169/locations?country_id=91 What that is saying, under the hood, is "Get the data from the locations store and give ....

Alex Gaynor recently asked this question in an IRC channel I hang out in (a channel which contains several software engineers nearly as obsessed with software testing as I am): uhh, so I’m writing some code to handle an econnreset… how do I test this? This is a good question! Testing ECONNRESET is one of those fiddly problems that exists at the interface between systems — in his case, with S3, not even a system under his control — that can ..

Hey all, just a quick post about di-tui , my new di.fm terminal UI player.

Most people who know me know that I work almost exclusively in the terminal: tmux, mutt, slack-term , vim, and now di-tui and many more. Now I finally have great music in the terminal!

On Transitioning from Software Developer to Architect

Around 2003 I changed companies and accepted the title “Software Architect” at the new company. Before that, I’d been working as a developer, then lead developer, then development team lead for a B2C startup. If I had a time machine and could go back in time to give myself advice, this is what I would say. Caveat: Unlike “Software Developer” or “Software Engineer”, pretty much each company has its own definition of what a “Software ....

Heather Hansman, writing for Outside Online: “Americans have gone west to escape the ills of society while bringing the ills of society with them, pretty much since Manifest Destiny; one regional myth was that, once here, everyone would have the chance to experience something wild. In reality, of course, settlement always brought land-access issues, prompted human displacement, and fueled socioeconomic disparity. That remains true now, ..

This article is more about understanding the Event Emitters in Angular and Ionic. Data flow is the most important when you build an application to communicate with components. Event Emitters will help you to even bind using @Input @Output decorators. Here is a simple example to display and update the user profile using Angular Event Emitters. For this demo I choose Ionic framework for better experience. Take a quick look at the live demo.

Interviewing engineers when you aren't one is a regular human resources task that tends to give non technical folk fits and for good reasons. 1. Focus on What You Can Interview them About To the non engineer, our job is all about coding but that's actually only a part of what an engineer does. Engineers exist in the same ecosystem as any employee and there are all kinds of questions about work practices that need to be asked. For exampl....
