Did anyone imagine just how bad things would be on the citizen surveillance front 20 years ago? I'm curious.
What's wrong with living close to people as a kid? This line of thinking is entirely new and really foreign to me. Even my grandparents, and the people around them, living in a tiny town and owning quite a few large…
As a kid I'd rather have my parents around when I got back from school more than I'd want a backyard or more expensive clothes and toys. People who think they're doing their kids a favor by commuting 4 hours a day to…
That is not my experience at all, and I believe the term imposter syndrome is widely used by others in the industry.
Is there any good reason why splitting a hundred dollar keyboard would have to cost three times as much? Anyway, I paid 30 euros for my last mechanical (with rgb lighting) shipped to my door. Patent expiration is a…
So you either don't work there as a parent or you become the caricature father from the 90s movies that misses all of his kids' games, fails to pick them up from school (although we solved this with Uber (TM)) etc.
"If you are actually able to build a well-structured monolith, you probably don’t need microservices in the first place. Which is OK! I definitely agree with Martin: You shouldn’t introduce the complexity of additional…
So if you have to explain a make-believe theory to a friend, or if they don't want to offend you and mix your "special" ("special" enough that even supposed experts in the field have a hard time identifying whether it's…
"I did not miss the point". Really though? You're going to be like that? You're going to be the guy that tells the person making the point they didn't mean what they meant, after failing at reading comprehension? The…
I suggest you reread my comment and try to understand my point.
There's various levels of bullshit, of incremental bullshitness a) I won't believe you got your PHD legitimately, do fizzbuzz for me. b) You're faking both your diploma and your 4 year experience at Megacorp, prove me…
Having been in a similar situation myself I can sympathize. And knowing companies just get away with it helps you realize that you should never ever feel any loyalty towards an employer, potential or current.
I have tried in the past as well and got the same impression. It seems that in order to be hired remotely you need to be a "rockstar" and sell yourself as more than that. Remote workers seem to be held to higher…
You are comparing 2 chips to a single chip and trying to argue against the claim that the single chip is the fastest yet. I'll humour you however. Your Xeon turbos to 3.1 if only 1 core is stressed, but it's all core…
A bug might be as simple as a single character fix on a printed string, or as complex as performance isn't as good as we expected, so profile and rewrite parts of the entire application to get acceptable performance.…
Wait, so some person reads a twitter post of someone commenting on kids going through sexual reassignment surgery and how they consider it an issue. They find a project they're associated with. They go on it's github…
It's hard to "prove" anything in discussions like this. Having been thrown in a few million loc projects, all written rather badly, I found it way easier to figure out what was going on in the ones with static types. At…
Protip: It's not.
>How would the dead judge our too common unwillingness to speak out against injustice, even though we're very free to do so in comparison to them? There's so much, but I fear it less than I fear looking away. The dead…
Quite trashy article, twisting reality to fit it's agenda. You could make the argument that the show (despite being a comedy show with caricatures as it's characters) should include more Asians and cast them in as…
This is like saying you never understood the split between a carpenter and a welder, when both are involved in producing the finished product of say, a cabinet. Sure, for simple enough projects a single person can do…
>Anyone we fire we'll sit down in the exit interview and write a plan for how they can get re-hired in a few weeks or months if they're interested. We'll also try to spin off a separate business with the fired person at…
I'd much rather read a straightforward example like that in an intro, then reading the complicated prepared statement when going through what's essentially pseudocode. There are valid cases where you're sure that the…
Not that big of an if. The id was most likely pulled out of the database itself in cases like: >friends: dbQuery("select * from firends where user_id = "+userId).data
My bad, had to check the actual laptop order receipt, it's an "Intel Core i7-4710MQ - 2,50 - 3,50GHz 6MB". Must have it confused with my last laptop's 4/8 i7 product code (which was an i7-3630QM). The i7-4770HQ is…
