I always wondered if some hidden pattern would be exposed when visualising numbers in unconventional ways in numbers with no known pattern such as Pi or prime numbers. A sort of multi-dimensional rendering that suddenly…
Well, they buried the lede with this one. Using LLMs were better for some tasks and actually made it worse for others. The first task was a generalist task ("inside the frontier" as they refer to it), which I'm not…
It's because a lot of engineers are learning to become better plumbers, not better engineers. Trying new technologies means you're mostly becoming better at using someone else's APIs - this is the path to eventual burn…
What are the genetic variants? I can’t access the paper, but I assume if anyone can we’d be able to run our DNA results (from 23andme, etc.) through this to see how high we score.
It does actually work on Intel macs - albeit very slowly. I left the process on in the background and my computer kept locking up. Once I realised what was causing the lock ups - I checked the process and it had indexed…
I worked at Nokia as a SWE in Berlin when that email dropped into my inbox. A few days later, it reached the press. We mostly thought ok, fine. What’s next? Before that, we’d been building an app for Nokia N97 handset…
I imagine teams will shared their principle lists on blog posts and put reflections there. Not all of it would appear on the principles.dev, as I think the reflective nature would be best handled elsewhere. But…
Haha! It won't be long until there are some there. I may take out the filters by technology choice for the time being, because there's nothing there.
Well to quote the "what" of the principle https://principles.dev/p/iterate-in-thens/ You should iterate sequentially on a focused chunk of work at a time. Once that chunk has been completed THEN start on the next chunk…
Indeed. That is definitely the next steps to allow individuals and eventuall companies to create their own principle lists. There are no principles that make sense in every situation, there are no teams that will have…
The temporal nature of principles - It's a good suggestion. It's always hard to slice reality. Teams should come up with their own list of principles which reflect the team and adopt organizational ones that make sense.…
Oh wow, author here - I wasn't quite expecting this to appear here today. I've only really just start talking to people about it. That said, my mission is to make software engineering better for everyone. By capturing…
Hello Ethan, yes I remember. What are the chances :) You made me a sample app in node and mongodb IIRC. I'll drop you a message and say hi.
If you’re on Mac a fairly cheap way (around $300/£250) to get a great sounding voice is to buy an ok microphone and Logic Pro. This will sound better than buying a microphone of the same price. In Logic add an equaliser…
How was the culture of the “hive mind” developed and maintained in the organisation? I can imagine there are challenges you’ve faced to keep it working
Thank you for your kind words. Unusually, I wrote it almost verbatim in one afternoon. However, the understading took me a long time to gain after years spent in communities desperately trying everything to progress…
I recognise your plight, because it has also been mine. Being hard on yourself and being frustrated by how hard it has been to fix yourself is something I've known well. However, no one gives us manuals for our body and…
People like you are the reason I posted my story. If I can even help a small number of people to not endure the same pains, that would make me incredibly happy. The therapy is the last item in a very very long list of…
The concious mind controlling 20-30%, in itself was not that much of a realisation, I would suspect a lot of people could agree they are not fully in control of themselves. So the understanding of that I'd known for a…
As someone who has suffered from CFS for a long time, it is definitely not imaginary. To say it’s purely physical is discounting the mental aspect of the disease. I personally suffered trauma as a child and I’ve seen…
The first marketing picture shows a landscape iPad as the main image to help connect you to the fact that it's not a tablet, but a computer. I think the side scrolling is conscious choice which is supposed to connect…
With a talk from earlier this year that describes an implementation: https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/02/20/introducing...
How did you do one file at a time? Enabling it with a different extension e.g. script.es6 or similar? Did it live side by side with existing code? Were your watchers efficient or did it slow down over time the more you…
What you are linking to is still two-way data binding. Which enforces a one-way flow of data. Two-way binding: Read & Write. Read & Write happens through getter/setter methods. One-way binding: Read only. Writes happen…
It is a shame to conclude two way data-binding should be a casualty in the maturation of frameworks. Like one way data-binding, it can be misused. Two-way data binding to properties is generally not good. It increases…
