Understood.

And agreed about the nature of many disagreements coming down to context and facts. My comment is aimed at people who seem to insist that other posters don't understand their context or have all the facts, when they actually do and yet continue to disagree.

If I were leaning into RLS today I would do it through PostgREST

I work with a few former-Oracle DBAs in a PostgreSQL-flavored consultancy now and they are aces. All the root-cause analysis and organization skills transfer handily.

how much value can you place on a disagreement based on a misunderstanding, though? i don't think that's the relevant case.

Well, I believe that as humans they are worth enough to eat, live, and enjoy life, at the very least, but from a surviving-in-capitalism perspective they can't pull their weight for a while in most cases. I'm not arguing against hiring and paying juniors a living wage, just noting that it takes a while and some diverse experience to get most of them over the hump, so to speak.

Same. At some point I'd love to figure out ways to get entertainment/game software built without sacrificing a team.

I like things that work, and I like making things that work. Coding has been a thing I do when I need to, but using the skill to investigate existing code has been the dominant practice.

Every time I reach a goal I move the cheese. I think I'm still getting better. But I'm also realizing the potential to pursue previously unknown goals. It is part of an ongoing discovery process that is not limited to engineering.

If I had a lot more money, I would probably pursue my goals differently but I don't think I would stop pursuing them.

The 5 or 10 years experience they might have is pretty thin unless they have had extremely good mentoring. It takes more than a senior project and a few years as a junior dev to be worth much. I consider junior devs incubation projects. Some of them turn out nicely.

My career seems to be doing better because I'm crowding 50. I was expecting worse.

A phrase I have to issue here on occasion is, "they didn't misunderstand you, they just disagree."

I hope he treats himself in his own clinic. >:)

It's also snarky to post the year as if it's a dated topic when it's current.

So? This is a thread about culture and governments, not race. If you want to have the race argument go find another thread.

I would defer to the background checks the U.S. military and federal government is doing in consideration of selling those Baltic states a lot of weapons. They will definitely do a better job that I ever can.

I've seen this almost everywhere I worked, albeit in milder form.

Relevant in 2022.

You should get together with the doctor I fired. He doesn't know internal medicine, either.

I think OP was talking about still enjoying a soda after a sustained ketosis period.

> low sugar

Can't go into ketosis while eating sugar/starch

Insulin tolerance is not that well known in the public sphere. But it's sure a measurable effect, and among the bigger reasons I cut way back on sugar.

Color me curious. Can you furnish any links to some health research that vindicates sugary sodas?

What's wrong with a little obesity, tooth decay, acid reflux, or insulin tolerance? The only people who complained to me about those symptoms were quitters. So maybe quitting soda is the REAL culprit, huh.

Sounds desperate to me. I have always intended to live way better than this.

Yes, that process is statistical modeling and it can be applied to quantify numerous problems.

You can't really say that when they're only a couple decades into human history. Remember saccharine? It was considered safe until it wasn't.

The politicized approval process that got sucralose and aspartame on the market should give anyone reason for concern. Remember that the beneficiaries of those approvals are people who know the most about these chemicals and are motivated to avoid learning more or disclosing what they know.

> The American Heart Association suggests a stricter limit for added sugars — no more than 100 calories from added sugar a day for most women and no more than 150 calories from added sugar a day for most men. That's about 6 teaspoons (24 grams) of sugar for women and 9 teaspoons (36 grams) of sugar for men.

I think I just used 1/3 of my recommended limit in my tea.

the hell we don't

That's why I shit on company time

i call it clutter
