In software engineering, a fluent interface (as first coined by Eric Evans and Martin Fowler) is a method for designing object oriented APIs based extensively on method chaining with the goal of making the readability of the source code close to that of ordinary written prose, essentially creating a domain-specific language within the interface.

Let me outline the most basic, since we appear not to have learned them yet. If a people believe “society doesn’t need to exist”, they are also going to end up going without all the things that a society provides. Public goods will never develop — like public healthcare, affordable education, safety nets, and so on. As a result, inequality will skyrocket, because people will have to pay capitalists monopoly prices for the things they should have simply given each other. Because there’s little social investment in such a society, it will soon enough grow impoverished — after all, capitalists are hardly interested in sharing the wealth, and the gains they accumulate will simply go to yachts, mansions, and shares. All that describes America perfectly, doesn’t it?
For the study, Curry’s group studied ethnographic accounts of ethics from 60 societies, across over 600 sources. The universal rules of morality are:
Help your family
Help your group
Return favors
Be brave
Defer to superiors
Divide resources fairly
Respect others’ property

Calculate the Optimum Number of ThreadsJUN 1ST, 2013Working out the theoretical optimal number of threads you should use for your application is fairly straightforward. You do, however, need to understand your applications runtime characteristics. Is it mostly occupied with CPU intensive work or is it mostly waiting for IO?In this post, we look at how to work out a good thread pool size for your CPU and IO based tasks.
I enjoyed the movie.
I understood the characters.
I may not agree with their decisions but who am I kidding. The movie suckered me into understanding both liza and enrique’s characters.
The consolation from me is that the situation is super dire that I never lied during my meeting with the team.
That would probably be the most emotional meeting that I led.
Super hard.
Thank you for being understanding former team members and friends.
Optimism is radical. It is the hard choice, the brave choice. And it is, it seems to me, most needed now, in the face of despair—just as a car is most useful when you have a distance to close. Otherwise it is a large, unmovable object parked in the garage.These days, the safest way for someone to appear intelligent is being skeptical by default. We seem sophisticated when we say “we don’t believe” and disingenuous when we say “we do.”

I am trying to escape the quite horror of Philippine life under Duterte.
Fuck this shit.
I told myself two years ago that I am committed for two years and will re consider my commitment in two years.
I am extending this self imposed decision point to another year or til Incuventure stabilizes.
I consider myself still young and can change or start over again.
OFW option, own business option, government service option will still be available in a year.
This reminds me of Jim in The Office. He said something to the effect of “after a few more years this job would be my career.” look of dread.
Allocation choices can make your life turn out to be very different from what you intended. Sometimes that’s good: Opportunities that you never planned for emerge. But if you make poor choices about how to invest your resources, the outcome can be bad. When people who have a high need for achievement have an extra half hour of time or an extra ounce of energy, they often unconsciously allocate it to activities that yield the most tangible accomplishments. And our careers provide the most concrete evidence that we’re moving forward. You ship a product, finish a design, complete a presentation, close a sale, get paid or promoted. In contrast, investing time and energy in your relationship with your friends and family typically doesn’t offer that same immediate sense of achievement. Kids, for instance, misbehave every day, and it’s not until 20 odd years later that you can say, “I raised a good kid.” You can neglect your relationship with your spouse, and on a day-to-day basis, it doesn’t seem as if things are deteriorating. People who are driven to excel have this unconscious propensity to underinvest in their families and overinvest in their careers — even though intimate and loving relationships with their families are the most powerful and enduring source of happiness.
