Yeah, i recommend individual thinkpad products, not the thinkpad line This is basically also true in large part for macs also, nowadays Every tech major has basically settled upon loose networks of fiefdoms ruled by managerial suzerains, basically, so you get that. Dynamodb sucking while ELB is great, every goog social network sucking while search keeps on being the only good search engine... bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 23:08 on May 20, 2018 |

That's the way it should be. right, in games the producer and the publisher is the center of the universe lol

DELETE CASCADE posted:i'd start with just "create user in database" too, but what about after i've written "create table in database", "create view in database", "create function in database" plus 10 more, and there is a bunch of code in each of them, and it's all the same except for the parts that would go in A, B, and C? do i abstract further at this point, or stop because it would be harder for someone who didn't go through the same exercise to initially understand? "harder for someone who didn't go through the same exercise to initially understand" is not something that can be intuited by a priori anything. it is a creature of pure empirics presumably, you aren't working alone. even if you are working alone, you're working on a thing that takes a nontrivial amount of time if you're not working alone, you can literally go talk to someone and say, "i'm thinking of this abstraction. would this help you understand blah blah blah" if you are, then write down the possible abstraction you can make and then revisit it in a day or so and see if it's crap. you may also try the alleged traditional persian practice of looking at it once sober and once drunk

the engineering team i'm at is about 30% white (its cuz it's 70% asian) software eng was 95% white a few decades ago but now it's 60% in america, less white than the general pop, so the empirical thing to do is to go find out what asian dudes figured out

there are also a lotta books about how women should get tech jobs and lead and stuff and to my knowledge they don't say poo poo about how asian dudes ended up doing it which i guess, it's not 100% germane to the sitch but i thought there would be like a postmortem or a recollection or an analysis or something it went from 95% white and peeps accepting that as a fact of life to 60% white and peeps accepting the rest being asian as a fact of life

that's nice i'm thinkin, scholarly book, hundreds of pages, hundreds to thousands of citations, bigass notes section. maybe a big journal article. academic af, peer reviewed and/or edited by an academic press blog posts for contentious subjects of this kind ime are basically masturbation e: that blog post is about poo poo in late 2010's but the transfer is mostly complete in the late 2010's. no historical aspects to it. the linked jacobin dealio is the typical nonspecific dealie which i've read loads of yadda yadda praise model minority yadda yadda also she unironically cites eugene volokh and a jacobin article in the same fuckin article bob dobbs is dead fucked around with this message at 10:14 on Aug 8, 2018 |
