I get what the author is saying, but static analysis aside I would do all that I can to avoid a 178 file update. I get that sorbet is allowing them to do this with higher confidence but even in a language that's compiled (thus performi

Being forced to go back to office was one of the reasons (among many) that I left my last employer. My boss gave me the same spiel about how being together increases collaboration and is good for career advancement, while at the same time h

Tom Scott did a video[1] on this that tackles the problem of electric trucks in a different way. Instead of charging somewhere or swapping out a battery, what if we charged them while they were in a specific lane of a highway. [1] https:&#

I have seen the thought "employers are responsible for skills growth of their employees" and I am with you on this. Employees need to take responsibility for their career and growth. I am responsible for continuing my learning and

Isn't the whole point of sanctions to make the citizenry upset with the current state of affairs, and put pressure (protest or even revolution) if things get to bad?

In a way yeah, but only for those that utilize the tuition assistance, and a cap on how long it applies for.

This article makes me think of an idea I heard years ago. That being make the cost of tuition zero for all students, and then take 20% of their income for the 5 years after they graduate. The thought process here is that no matter what we d

Yes, but..... It emits a lot less greenhouse gas right? Even if we only have 100-150 years, that is a long time horizon for us to figure out nuclear fission which doesn't use uranium. Our current problem is that we need energy, and we

The only problem with org (which may not be a problem for some folks) is that if you want to be able to edit org files with the least friction you need to use Emacs. I tried the org extension for VS Code and vim in the past and they just we

A good balance that I have been trying to achieve is working my tickets, and when I start to really feel drained from that in the day I take a break. This break, can be a short walk, or a longer "study session" in which I crack op

Do you possibly have a link to the series teaching Rust you mentioned. 'Rust linked series' doesn't bring up any results that look relevant, and I would be interested to take a look at it.

It may be worth taking a step back and asking who the users are. I know that like most folks on HN, I am not your average computer user so my view is probably a bit different. With that out of the way, I can say that I firmly prefer folder

On the other hand, if you have a compiler/typechecker that finds things that your test suite could find I will always reach for the compiler/typechecker. No sense in writting tests against something a standard tool will find aside

> It may just be...your enthusiasm. Which very often wanes with your personal prejudices. Isn't that the rub overall? The whole reason that it's easier to get a raise by jumping ship than it is to stick it out?

Yeah, anything like what you described are going to be web apps and need all that logic. That being said for the majority of the web (news sites, simple message boards, shopping sites, etc) couldn't they all be rendered on the server?

Couldn't that still be stored in a traditional folder hierarchy, but all in one folder and keep track of the tags related to file names in a sqlite database?

As a layperson who doesn't know a whole lot about investing, this sounds like a ponzi scheme. The way that I am interpreting this is that if I were to invest in one of these (i.e. Maker) then the returns that I would see are there pure

The book is worth reading, even if you don't end up adding TDD to your normal workflow. One of the things that stood out to me about it is that Kent mentions that you should throw away your lower level tests that you used while you wer

As a counter point outside of gaming, I used to work for a Fortune 250 100+ year old banking firm, and you were given no choice. Heck it was a miracle if you could get a developer machine that was more powerful than your business users got.

I will recommend folks take the time to go and read the O.G. book on TDD[1] to really get a feel for what it was intended to be originally and form their opinion from there. Most of the time when I see people talk about TDD they are either

It may be good to be skeptical as this person mentioned that they are hiring, so they may be putting up a front as to what their current system actually looks like.

All in all, I will say that I don't mind tech being concentrated on the coasts. Being a Midwest US person, I am happy with what's available job wise and fine with the lower cost of living when compared to the coastal cities.

Yep. When it comes to specialization farmers are not excluded. All crops, if their production can be mechanized, need specialized tools to farm at scale. In Iowa at least this looks like combines that are tooled for corn and soybean to allo
