Under what circumstances a passenger needs to identity themselves differs significantly from state to state. Also, neither Brendlin v. CA or AR v. Johnson talk about identification requirements, so I'm not sure what…
I loved Connections so much as a kid, but I'm so tired of this clip. There's so many better clips from this show. So he nailed a 13 second countdown. Who cares? Newscasters do this at every commercial break. Sports…
It's very common the US as well, but primarily in education circles. I honestly have no idea what percent of the general public would recognize it immediately (hard to know for anything, really).

I have Sisyphus as my wallpaper. When people ask about it I say he's the patron saint of software development.
In OP's defense, "becoming suspicious" doesn't mean it's always wrong. I would definitely suggest an explaining comment if someone is using DISTINCT in a multi-column query.
Snopes has this as mixed because Stalin may or may not have expressed this sentiment at some point, but it seems impossibly unlikely to me that this pun works in Russian as it does in English.
It's hard to talk in the abstract because obviously people can abuse any type of code feature, but I generally find chaining array methods, and equivalents like c# linq, much easier to read and understand than their…

JoelOnSoftware had a great piece back in the day where he mentioned that while he consciously knew what a short sale on an option was, in practice he had to stop and think about how to calculate it, while his financial…
One of the aphorisms I repeat a lot is that in this age where everybody programs a little, including analysts, devops, QA, researchers, etc., the thing that separates all of them from actual software developers is that…
That's absolutely not what the article is about. Did you even read it? People don't really have that debate anymore outside of twitter casuals, and it's dismissed with a wave almost immediately in this article, which…
Give me an AI chatbot over someone with poor English skills reading a script any day of the week. My problem probably isn't unique, it's probably something fairly obvious that was vague in the instructions. Now, the…
I think the "sendOnce" question is fine. Software development is just different than other professions, and you get a lot of candidates who talk a good show but can't actually program at all. For a decent dev, this…
In the midst of the perennial "woe the kids today" rant, it's worth considering that this generation is the first generation in the 300,000 year history of homo sapiens sapiens to widely utilize reading and writing as a…
No, macOS will just put quotes in the name. I just saved file from vscode as "testfile.sql", including the quotes, and wound up with a file named "testfile.sql".s.

Did anyone notice that the author talks about scams and cons, but when it actually comes to a list of examples the majority are actually about plagiarism? Which... I largely don't care about. I understand why it's super…
I don't see any indication in this article that she's in the software or STEM industry. Glancing over the rest of her articles don't give this indication at all, nor does her feeling that she's lacking knowledge of…
So a psychologist who wrote a book condemning the original twins IQ study now publishes a paper where she purportedly refutes that study's most famous findings based on the analysis of a single set of separated twins?…
That may be, but this is the first time I've heard of coc.nvim and I've used neovim for years. So I'll bookmark this and at some point I'll look into it and do some research and figure out how to configure it and…

I could ask the opposite: why do people choose terminal vim when you can easily add nvim integration to editors like VSCode and get 98-100% of what vim gives you along with much easier configuration of all those extras…
I feel this way about Haskell, and I understand why someone would feel this way about F#. No matter what language I use, I now constantly think about how to avoid side effects, how to minimize mutability, how to ensure…
It works on Hacker news since the vast majority of people here share the same interests. The same is true in theory on reddit, where the voters on a single subreddit share the same interests, and importantly reddit has…
