Readit NewsI'd be willing to accept $100/hr from someone I'm paying $100/month to, but I wouldn't care for $25/hr from someone I'm paying $25/year to.
Reality lies somewhere in the middle, that is ADs are neither garbage nor life saving for all. It is absolutely personalized
I understand this. My point was, almost every previous generation lived with objectively less financial security and a lower standard of living, and they still chose to have more children. We can't say people are more financially insecure than before. It just isn't true, on the whole. So, logically speaking, it must be true that those same concerns would often not have stopped this hypothetical couple's grandparents or great grandparents... Because they didn't. And I don't think you can say in good faith that they all had more children for monetary reasons like labor.
Look at first generation immigrants from third world countries. They tend to have a ton more kids than the existing populace, while at the same time being much poorer than average. Then, by the 2nd (or 3rd) generation, that birthrate difference disappears completely. I bet if you were to ask this group why, they would talk about financial insecurity. But that didn't stop their parents (or grandparents), despite being much more financially insecure.
So besides being more well off, what else changes between 1st and 3rd generation immigrants? Integration into the Western culture.
After families are established and have financial security, they no longer need to rely on their children in their old age - at which point it becomes a choice.
Ergo: A poorer society has more children. A richer society has fewer children.
It's a phenomenon that continues to flabbergast me.
Logic would seem to indicate that a more plentiful environment (a richer society) would lead to more children due to a surplus of life's necessities. But the reality is the exact opposite.
I don't know why this is the case, but it's flabbergasting. It almost seems like evolution strives to eliminate those that find too much success.
Personally, I'm planning to learn about the internal implementation of databas(es), starting with the book Designing Data Intensive Applications. This is so that I learn about the current ways data is stored
I cope by reminding myself that I shouldn't compare my personal knowledge with the combined knowledge of a community - multiple people here are knowledgeable about and post about different areas
Fast forward as an adult I have a number of coping mechanisms and one of them is to have something on in the background. I have never associated the effectiveness with the noise itself, but rather with something that is keeping part of my brain quiet. It prevents my mind from wandering. It is ideally something I already know. Like a show I have seen before or a podcast that I am okay not fully retaining. Not enough stimulation and I get distracted easily, too much stimulation and I shut down completely. Music doesn't usually work for me.
FWIW, this is exactly what it's like for me too - "Not enough stimulation and I get distracted easily, too much stimulation and I shut down completely."
If it's the former, it's probably just them and not office politics.
One recent edited example:
My question: "I'm trying to investigate why a request is failing, I found it in aws, the logs for [service] contain a stack trace up to where the [microservice] request is made, logs are very sparse. Is there a way to get [microservice] stack trace?" [I included links to logs and relevant info]
His response is "Do you want a stack trace on every log? I assume dumping a stack trace is somewhat expensive (though I don't actually know if this is the case) so I would be hesitant to attach one to every log entry"
Did I ask to attach a stack trace to every log? I guided him through the original ask and did receive some help. If this happened one time it wouldn't register, but his initial response here was very typical, something I got used to.
Stack trace usually means a full stack trace. I've rarely seen one in production - it's usually for unhandled errors. Usually it'll be a one line log which will point you to the point in code where it's erroring out.
Sounds like you just want the logs for the [microservice] for a particular failing request, and not the stack trace?
It'd be bad communication on both sides, here.
