Ads pay a lot more than that on quality websites such as the Scroll ones. 50c per thousand page is so low I can't see how you find it fair. We're talking lets say 1000h of work, and your fair price is 50c ?

Maybe because people actively avoid biking on dangerous roads ? It's easy to say that bike is safer than car when being safe is the number one concern for a vast majority of people cycling, while it's pretty obvious it isn't

Doesn't seem paywalled here (in France). If it's only paywalled in the small fraction of the world that are the usa, it's still quite open to read and discuss.

Once again, we're talking windows built-in calculator. I really hope the specification is "make it output something that the average user will understand and agree with". And the operative keyword here would be "average&

This example isn't about computer communication, it's about John Doe using the windows calculator to find the time between two dates.

The construction can be explained in two sentences, the argument proving this is a proper counter example not exactly I think !

This assumes everybody reading the code at the company have the skill to read it. Where I work, I can expect my scalacode to be read by people who can barely write a line of it, and I routinely read typescript and go code while being totall

I don't allow myself to have more than 1 active stash at any given point on a project. You quickly learn to delete with no regret some code you wrote !

I really like this approach of using git blame, it's original thinking and highlights how much human components there are in developing.

I read both pages, and I think they do a very good job of explaining the problem part. I don't think they do as good a job of explaining what exactly is the value Volument brings. As an other commenter pointed, it's not clear whet

I would have put a volument solution dashboard applied to the volument website itself somewhere prominent to demo how it works, plus if it's real time enough it would be ultra cool to see change while I browse the website (for example

TL;DR : Researchers found a way to analyze database logs to identify race conditions in databases, and demonstrated how once this knowledge acquired, it left websites open to be exploited through their public APIs.

Why would there be a link between trivial and worth sharing? On the contrary, I find that a lot of tools I'm happy to have are the trivials one. Who have never used whoami for example ? It's two chained system calls, but I'm

That's a good point actually, I suppose it doesn't indeed really matters to them where it goes as long as they can say "we gave X to open source projects", X probably being already defined.

So your hypothesis is that they'd rather assume this potential cost for the sake of publicity ? Also, in the "paid to sponsor" scenario they'd be hoodwinke into giving money both to someone worthwhile and someone totally

How many sponsoring circles have you detected already ? I can't believe people able to be sponsored aren't doing background stuff to make sure they get free $5K a month from github, since it's a simple as doing a reciprocal s

Yes. Even by being a solo developer for quite some time, I ended up spending about that amount of time reading code, with a good portion being spent reading my own old code. It's been a ramp up of course, starting with a totally blank

I read that, but the timezone problem doesn't really explain why south america was slashed. Overall it seems a bit strange to explain "we officially have a remote hub" and "remote workers need to be supported by physical

I considered it, and that's why I based my observation on what I observed when I was myself a tourist in the US, where I assumed (safely in my mind) the vast majority of people were americans, in restaurants, at the movies... Once agai

As a french person who travelled a bit in the US and lived in Paris for years, I noticed there's a huge cultural difference between americans and french people regarding what is acceptable noise or not. It's very noticeable in chu

The significance of the image is not in its quality, but in its mere existence. It's enough to confirm various predictions, and should give a new baseline for truth about black holes.

I think it's because you're are defending your point from a deontological point of view, while the person you're responding to is arguing from a consequentialist point of view. For a consequentialist, arguing on the ethics of

I can only disagree. I have coworkers going to meet-ups. And trust me, I know, since they can't stop speaking about it. And what do they talk about ? Internal meetup politics, how X said what to Y, etc...aka the usual human chatter. Al

I definitely tried it with more junk images that I had in stock than real photos, so, there's that. There's moment where you need to know what face a computer would say resemble the most a sushi... So I'm not 100% sure about

I think you should hope to live in more than the handful of square meters than a classic tech worker occupies in an office. Housing people on the same ground area than the offices would probably prove to be a huge technical challenge since

Yeah, but that has nothing to do with being specifically a leader in external community. It has to do with having an interest in external community, but I would argue that you're probably learning more if you're in fact not a lead
