Won't people just use AI to define specification? Like if they are getting most of it done with AI, won't they won't read/test the code to verify won't they also not read the spec

My main advice for engineers is to write a blog. It isn't for anyone else it is to organize your thoughts. But should be presented in a way others can learn from. For a year I published every Tuesday morning, and that schedule made me learn so much so fast.

I once worked with a library that had such a deep inheritance tree, only for ontological purposes, that I was always confused as to where anything was actually implemented. I decided to squash the layers and found almost every method was overrode two or three times.

That was the project that I turned against inheritance, it was 2009, project was written in Java 1.4

Yes, everyone on insurance should be young and healthy. Fuck those sick people /s

The longest test cricket match lasted 11days and was called off because one team had to catch a boat home

Isner-Mahut in 2010 Wimbledon took 11 hours over 3 days and ended 6-4, 3-6, 6-7, 7-6, 70-68. It can't be repeated since they introduced tie breaks in the fifth set as a direct result of the travesty.

7 Days in Hell is another direct result of this match. :)

I mean, it could be repeated, but it would require an incredibly stable fifth-set tiebreak.

What was the story? They're obviously limited to 5 days these days...

Basically up to World War II all cricket tests were timeless. So basically the game would go until one team dismissed the other twice while scoring more runs.

The match mentioned here refers to the Timeless Test played between England and South Africa in the latter in 1939. It seems a combination rainfall and rolling the pitch (i.e. playing surface) rejuvenated the pitch, making it relatively easy to bat on. Combined with some patient batting, this enabled the teams to run up some large scores. Typically the pitch starts to deteriorate after several days play, making it more difficult to bat on.

FUSE is such a cool idea but every application always suffers performance problems when stressed. I tried LiteFS and it worked, but litestream was awesome.

This is the correct map, but New Zealand should be in the center as we are middle earth

Imperial China thought they were the Middle Kingdom, but that title belongs to New Zealand.

if only the axis was in the middle of middle earth would I agree

It is hard because they might be teaching global warming, or biology realities like intersex people exiting, or slavery was bad and it happened in the US, is seen as political by the some who are arguing to keep politics out of the classroom.
