>Another not so great facet is that a lot of stories are very coastal. It's admittedly not HNs fault because if you're not in CA or NY you kinda feel left out in some respects. I wish a lot of tech companies would go to other p

It's beneficial to your manager in that they can tell you exactly what to write on your "personal goals list" and then string you up with those words come review time when they weren't met due to things out of your contr

God, I would love for there to be a standardization of package management and project structure in python from the top down.

The biggest hurdle for me getting back in is just getting past the bootstrapping phase to where you can automate the construction of things from blueprints. Luckily the game is made overwhelmingly with mods in mind, so there is a mod for my

It's all good. Everything being said, I appreciate efforts like ClojureScript. There is just so much power in being able to use the same language and share the same models on the front and back end, but not all of us want to use JavaSc

The gist I was able to glean, specifically about Pheonix Liveview, is that all updates on the Frontend and Backend are pushed to the other side via websockets. For the Frontend, this means sending some json payload to the Backend. For the B

After reading the article, Clojure would probably be better suited to be mentioned than ClojureScript. The point of it all looked to be speaking to the new paradigm that Phoenix LiveView brings which is server side rendering of subsections

Yes! A smart watch with a e-ink display, and no touch screen that had a good companion app that lasted 7 days on a charge! I really miss that tech. I don't need a smartwatch that has gps, a speaker, and touchscreen. I just need more of

That word right there "potential" is the culprit here. As long as that potential is within "acceptable" ranges of unlikely to happen, nothing will be done.

Aw yes, the hellscape that will exist when someone's pet micro-service losses it's creator as they leave for another org. They decided to write it in a language that nobody else on the team is familiar with, and now that decision

It's always cool when we can achieve a speed up in something, but I fear that we may have reached the point of Ruby becoming mostly irrelevant to the larger market. Python, thanks mainly to it's data science libraries, has taken i

I am in a similar situation. I would love to purchase one, but my current laptop works fine and I don't need to make more e-waste due to cool new shiny thing! But they will stay on my mind.

Observation more than anything. Countless jobs that people make a living doing have their schedules set by a larger bureaucracy. This leads to people needing to set their life schedules around that job, rather than their natural rhythms.

How are defining cheep, and how big is the metaphorical house? Developer time is not free (unless you are working a personal project) and if an hour or two up front of planning things out stops you from making a lynch pin mistake that needs

If we go by that metric, then the entire modern world has been built such that nobody will have a "healthy sleep schedule". I have to start work when I start work regardless of when I would be best suited to rising without my morn

To add, there is a nice documentary here[1] which also has a followup[2] that show even more of the issue at hand. Kids making games and only getting 24.5% of the profit is one thing, but everything else that Roblox does is much worse. [1]

I know this is a joke, but in all seriousness any editor with built in moding support probably could have a Telegram Client since it's nothing but api calls. That being said: I shall repent once more and go back to the Stallman scriptu

Step one would be to re-asses what happens in highschools. I remember a decade ago when I was in highschool we had to do college prep stuff mandated by the state government that all but said that College was the only route.

Yeah, it would be nice if the compiler team was dog-fooding, but we need to be pragmatic don't we?

Ah, I see what you mean now. The follow up question I have is: so what? Python is an extremely popular language that is built on C/C++. Unless you are a contributor to the rust spec, why would it matter what language the compiler is wr

Do we want to always get the latest version? The whole colors.js and faker.js thing from yesterday comes to mind as a very good reason to not want to auto-update to the latest version of a lib.

Yep. From what I have seen people are more okay with doing things when they have agency. There is a big amount of difference between someone telling you to do something vs you choosing to do something.

And by the time you are reaching the bounds of what the community editions allow you to do (as in what is only available in the ultimate editions) you are probably doing some hefty work that is up to professional standards beyond a tinkerer

I started on the other end (my first language was C89) and I am with you on types. Just being able to read a plaintext file and know what type every variable and parameter is just makes reading the code easier to me. My primary language is

How so? While yes Android is one of the most common uses at the moment for Kotlin (thanks to Google making it a first class supported language for the platform) it is still dependent on the JVM, thus can do anything that Java Can.
