  • And also how often the movie is completely oblivious to that. For example it’s been a while since I saw “Devil wears Prada” but if I remember right, the ending is:

    Our main character has an argument with her boyfriend

    Goes to a business trip in Paris

    Sleeps with random guy

    Returns home and makes up with her boyfriend

    And the movie ends like nothing happened, she’s happy, that’s what’s important








  • I respectably disagree.

    Yes, OSM is for humans but navigation isn’t its only purpose. People are mapping mundane things like trees, grass patches or manholes, in my opinion a huge structure like a staircase is worth mapping, even if as a single point. And actually - this concrete staircase is actually used daily by the people in that office building, so it’s not just a fire escape.

    Please don’t kill the enthusiasm in people





  • I’m jumping into downvote pool but yolo - I kind of like Bill Maher. I don’t agree with him on everything, let’s say I disagree with like 30% of his points. But rest of it is kind of on point? And that’s fine, I don’t have to agree with people on everything. Actually that’s one of the points I liked from him - to learn to disagree. In today’s polarized world that’s a surprisingly refreshing idea. On the other hand I fundamentally disagree with him on Covid-19. So yeah. Also I find myself laughing at his jokes quite a lot, he has good writers imo











  • In my opinion yes, unfortunately. It’ll suffer from Gartner hype cycle soon but it’ll recover and will slowly get better every year to the point it’s really good.

    The worst thing is that I don’t see any “stop sign”. Like f.e. with self driving cars it was kind of obvious that it’ll get ridiculously complex in real life situations, thus having a problem with legislation and mass adoption. But with AI? I don’t know, I don’t see any stop sign … Maybe that it never reaches this high mark we all expect?



  • small tasks that you don’t expect to grow in complexity

    On one conference I heard saying: “There is no such thing as temporary solution and there is no such thing as proof of concept”. It’s an overexaguration of course but it has some truth to it - there’s a high chance that your “small change” or PoC will be used for the next 20 years so write it as robust and resilient as possible and document it. In other words everything will be extended, everything will be maintained, everything will change hands.

    So to your point - is bash production ready? Well, depends. Do you have it in git? Is it part of some automation pipeline? Is it properly documented? Do you by chance have some tests for it? Then yes, it’s production ready.

    If you just “write this quick script and run it in cron” then no. Because in 10 years people will pull their hair screaming “what the hell is hapenning?!”

    Edit: or worse, they’ll scream it during the next incident that’ll happen at 2 AM on Sunday
