What will that accomplish? Does it give license to developers to check in code that they don't understand/trust fully? Ultimately, people should be responsible for the code they commit, no matter how it was written. If…
We are having an unusually dry and sunny winter in PNW.. I wonder if it is related.
That sounds nice, but I think that increased tax will just be passed down as higher rent.
I wonder if US still manages to keep the most promising?
Once upon a time, our team was paying Oracle $6 million a year in DB licenses alone. We ended up building our own bespoke storage solution.
And decided that it was cheaper and easier to just outsource it to Microsoft. Because doing it in today's environment - different work computers, backend servers, mobile devices, etc - is much more complicated than just…
I think AI can be really powerful tool. I am more productive with it than not, but a lot of my time interacting with AI is reviewing its code, finding problems with it (I always find some issues with it), and telling it…
Probably a lot of private equity buying up homes to generate rental income? Usually, I am more pro market, but I think there needs to be some regulations on this. Although if you are an existing homeowner with low…
Intellectually, I think people agree with that. But I think the weight of history works against it. When you have a history filled with war, and intense competition...
If it becomes a liability, wouldn't the onus be on the network operators for failing to support devices sold within X years?
When they added the CM bar raiser, I felt like it hit day 2. When was that? 2014ish?
Nah, I used to work for defense contractors, and worked with ex-military people, so... Anyway, I actually loved my first time at AWS. Which is why I went back. My second stint wasn't too bad, but I probably wouldn't go…
The culture changed. When I first worked there, I was encouraged to take calculated risks. When I did my second tour of duty, people were deathly afraid of bringing down services. It has been a while since my second…
I have seen one promo docket get rejected for doing work that is not complex enough... I thought the problem was challenging, and the simple solution brilliant, but the tech assessor disagreed. I mean once you see there…
As someone whose employer uses a broker that doesn't do cost basis correctly for RSUs, I was very surprised TurboTax was able to import the supplement and adjust it correctly for me. Even without RSUs, I usually have…
Once upon a time, a colleague from South Africa told me that they use fiber cable everywhere. I was surprised by this that they seem to be more advanced than us. Turns out that copper wire gets stolen, so they have no…
Worked in the defence industry for a few years in the 2000s. I worked on exactly one Ada project. The rest were C/C++. I presume the shift away from Ada has accelerated if anythinng.
I thought an American pope would be the last thing Vatican wanted (to avoid being seen too close to US)
Worked for a french company once. The code was in English, but the comments were in French. I guess this happens, because all the language keywords are English, so it might be strange to mix and match langauges there.…
Once upon a time, as an intern, I had the 'fun' task of optimizing the performance of a stored procedure written by someone with a math phd. It was more than 6 pages when printed, and took more than 30 minutes to run…
I am totally going to advocate for this at my workplace. I myself am guilty of it - not saying "just", but questioning people's estimates based on my limited understanding of the research they had to do to come up with…
Never worked at facebook, but typically at a large companies, things like this are sent with instructions on how to go about doing that, and most often just making sure your dependencies are updated so next run of…
Often yes. There were times when I was writing unit tests that was me just naming the test case, with 99% of the test code auto generated based on the existing code, and the name.
Very true. My previous employeer offered use it or lose it 6 weeks. I used it all. My current employeer offers unlimited PTO. I take 3 weeks at max...
Or different departments pushing responsibility to each other... I had a break in. Thieves took my check books, and tried to cash one in at a payday loan place at a neighbouring city. The payday place called me, and of…
