Should bankers who caused the 2008 financial crisis also be on home arrest? Sometimes it is about punishment not rehabilitation.

FYI if anyone is looking into data formats for high performance stuff I recommend looking into CBOR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBOR It is very popular in embedded systems and IoT. It is basically binary JSON, but s

by DanielHB 2y ago
Problem with less popular formats is that there is no official specs or reliable reference implementations, it tends to break when encoding and decoding with different OS/languages/libraries/etc. YAML, JSON and XML have very

That strategy is just for raising money, as far as I know Tesla doesn't raise money from investors anymore. Although you do have to keep stockholders happy and framing as a tech company helps with that. No it seems he really wants to p

Brazil was playing both sides, much like Sweden. Profiting from the war while staying out of it. Brazil only joined the war because the US gave big loans to Brazil to fund the creation of steelworks factories to kickstart the steel producti

My point was, there ARE opportunities in Brazil that don't involve working in a slave outsourcing factory. Even individual remote dev contracts are not always the top tier of talent. The real good talent working remotely from Brazil is

Would definitely torrent any leaked internal facebook data. But never seed your honor, that would be illegal!

These world leaders (Xi, Trump, Putin) are not for prosperity, they are for control. They want control and will sacrifice prosperity to get it.

I dunno, your reasoning could also be applied to dependency management registries. It is not even only about cost, it is a lot of infra to set up authentication with every single external registry with every single automation tool that migh

Well, unless it isn't? But even beyond that prospect just replace Trump with Trump's successor whoever it is.

As a Brazilian dev living in Europe, one thing people just don't get about offshoring is that good devs have options, even in poorer countries. Companies offshoring usually offshore crappy projects, crappy projects attract bad talent.

China will 100% invade Taiwan if it looks like Trump won't win the next elections, will likely do it anyway even in that case.

International aid is such a cheap way to get soft-power while also being able to, you know, help people. Even if a lot of it is misused or inefficiently used the soft-power is there. A lot of that soft-power has been spent on getting other

The funny thing is just how inverted the situation is, for years leftists were saying that this kind of foreign aid is often used to hold small countries hostage. While the right wanted to keep the soft-power the aid gives and claiming this

It is because there is a disassociation between earning money and living. You eat what you hunt, you eat what you farm, you live the house you build, you trade your crops for other crops. Today we work for money and spend money to live, the

Jeez, it is scary how many people raise their own chickens here. Are all of these people some sort of startup exit move into the woods people?

by DanielHB 2y ago
Funny thing is that kind of government foreign aid is the kind of soft-power over smaller countries thing that right-wingers politicians love, or at least used to. Similar to the BS that China pulls with the belt and road initiative (but pr

Fact is testing frontend code is really hard _because_ people don't build frontend code in isolation. I found that testing is much easier when using tools like storybook and browser-based testing tool (so no snapshot testing, no fake-d

Exactly, also use some kind of design document tool that accepts comments (like Google Docs or Confluence) and try to get people to read and make notes _before_ any meetings.

In my experience meetings should only be: 1) 1 on 1 2) Presentation with questions at the end 3) Roundtable status update (so like 2, but each person taking turns) 4) 4-person maximum whiteboard to decide on a very specific point agreed ahe

I remember listening to HL2 in-game commentary from the game devs. One that stuck to me was something along the lines "It really pains me that we put so much effort in all these connecting hallways and the players just run past them at

I thought whale mouths had fibers that only let plankton in leaving no proper big hole. Bad to know I was wrong.

In Sweden almost everyone I meet while working have a masters while in Brazil it is the opposite. Very few people go for masters in Brazil, the companies simply don't care about it at all so it is mostly just people who want to get PhD

You are discarding opportunity cost in your assessment.

Universities in Europe have bachelor's be 3 years and Universities in the US are 4 years but students need to take a lot of non-major-related classes. In Europe it is almost a given you will be doing a 2 year masters after bachelor if

Of all of those only CSS3 is actually a big deal for most projects (and only a subset of the new CSS3 features). But yeah the new APIs are great and more power is better. Native video/audio playback/streaming was huge as well, but

The only thing I use it for is for small self-contained snippets of code on problems that require use of APIs I don't quite remember out of the top of my head. The LLM spits out the calls I need to make or attributes/config I need

> Code is a liability I say that sometimes to people and they look at me weird. When you work in bigger projects with a lot of people it is harder to argue why you shouldn't write the code than to just do it. Like, for example, I ha

The major changes in web development landscape: - IE9 which finally allowed you to use modern (at the time) web features (like flexbox) without having to support IE specific hacks. - ES6 which added a lot of syntax changes to JS to make it
