I think this is because programming is both highly interactive and experimental. You write some code, run it, test it, rinse and repeat. This is the essence of gamification. I think you may also find Physics interesting if you had the entir

One advice from my side, you can slightly shift hours of your commute to avoid rush hours. When I was commuting to my work I usually started my work somehow between 11:00 - 12:00 AM. For some people this means your evenings are screwed but

But now you have "Worked at Tesla" on your CV. This can be a modern replacement for a uni degree. After all when everyone can get a degree, the value of degree is diminished. But since only a small percentage can stay in toxic (or

I guess it all depends on the current demand. I remember a few years ago there was a huge shortage of devops in my area (central europe). Anyone, even with limited experience and skills (often after a few months of bootcamp training) could

The problem is that in Java byte is _signed_ type. So `(byte) 129` is the actual source of the problem, the number is simply out of range (-128 to 127). Since there is no byte literal and numbers by default are integers you always have to c

Maybe services like Okta (at least the core part without UI, just like macOS & Darwin) should be open source by default? That would be a good policy to forcibly open source anything connected to encryption/authorization/authen

Have you got a chance to read "Java Puzzlers: Traps, Pitfalls, and Corner Cases"? Java is a very surprising language with a lot of strange corner cases (a lot of them related to reified generics and wrapper types). There is also a

I don't like Java although I have to use it at my current job. There is simply no other alternative that is both widely known and supported (think a lot of programmers and a lot of libraries). I see only 2 other candidates C# & Go,

What a mervell of retro-computing. I think the author should definitely contact Ben Eater, as this is an excellent material for the next video. Aside from this, Arduino shields for Ethernet are available for quite some time, but they often

Do you mean difficult to solve captchas? We already have those. Maybe FB social proof of an account will again gain popularity? [Disclaimer: I am not ChatGPT]

Can this mean the end of remote work, or only a small subset of companies will be back to the office? Quite scary if you plan to stay remote in the next decade...

With the small exception that homes, land and stocks (at least some of them) can pay you rent. I personally like to think of Gold as of Babylonians Bitcoin, it has very little value of its own - but it has a long history of being a store of

I tried to play with "manual" wire wrap tool. It's easy to buy thin wires for wrapping but it was extremely difficult to buy wire-wrap ready IC sockets. The difference is in the shape of the socket pins, the wire-wrap require

I am also from Poland and I would be willing to sacrifice 20% of my salary for 1 extra day off per week. I would certainly not look for another job. Also in my employment agreement there is a rule stating that I need my current employer app

Great to hear that. BTW in meantime other ppl also posted amazing content. Right now I am following this guy ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvyUAaRTsww&list=PLcGZbzUhfc... ), he builds x86 breadboard computer, but does

I think it depends on the test. If you are checking that e.g. context.currentUser() returns current user name, email, id and roles I would probably wrote just 2 tests. One for the user attributes and one for checking roles. jUnit provides a

Series like Ben Eater's 6502 computer but for x86. Also the guy is C++ guru, so we switch between assembly and C. The attached source code shows how to configure 16 bit GCC to work with his breadboard computer (only for linker geeks).

This will work, but will have poor performance due to the way Java generics are implemented. You could use your function with `Integer[]` or `Long[]` arrays but not with `int[]` or `long[]`. `Integer` being a wrapper class around `int` is a

The question is how much it will cost Ukraine? In my opinion the conflict is already lost, now the Ukraine should concentrate on minimizing the losses and avoiding full scale war.

From what I heard, the problems with Hikikomori often start in late teenage years. At first the person closes the room doors and refuses to leave. I guess this is the diverge point between Japan and western societies. I in the west no sane
