And everyone in the robotics industry too. Would love for simpler/modern languages on this scope, but here C++ is king.

We have general understanding of how some specialized cells work but no idea on how higher level abstractions exist (e.g. how visual input is transformed into spacial structure of the environment and how that is mapped into semantic underst

I like Zoho for mail handling, the free tier covers up to 5 user with a custom domain, the small letters is that they don't provide IMAP/POP under the free tier, but it's pretty easy to set up. If you're concerned about

You're able to directly message people that are not your friends and see who saw your profile (no matter their privacy configuration, I believe). For me that's about it. Useful if you are job hunting, but nothing to go crazy over.

Not really difficult per se, but more of anecdotal experience of needing dedicated time to maintain it internally. In a smaller company a few years back, whenever an update was due we would have some down time after it and someone had to sp

Gitea is love. There are not a lot of shenanigans and it just does the job. If you want vcs with an online interface it's great for personal use and smaller teams. If you want fancier stuff like integrated CI/CD that is more com

The language evolves with society, Santa Catarina now is spelled like this. Brazilian Portuguese had a bunch of strange phonemes in the early XX century, to be honest.

Internationally? I don't think so. Even within a lot of countries.

I would probably look back at github (or gitea if self-hosted and you're looking for simplicity), bitbucket is a pile of features that almost work, but you're constantly reminded that you've seem better. Commit control afte

As a junior dev you shouldn't be able to screw up big time, if you do, that's on the team/company, not on you. As a senior it is trickier, but usually no one should be able to screw up monumentally, if they do it's a lac

Considering this comes from facebook, I hold no expectations regarding the morality of their actions. This is par for the course (would be stretch, but hey it's facebook).

Difficult to say without having background for such situations. As a latin american myself I think it's not far fetched to say that in LA there is an ominous sensation that there is always someone taking advantage of you: your boss, yo

Indeed, but maintaining software that is a core part of your business is a very different game than supporting (complex) internal tooling. They don't bring revenue, are a time/money sink and not many companies can spare the resour

Because if it succedds, it needs to be supported long term. If you're doing that inhouse, chances are slim of original designers staying 10-20 years at the same company. Then what you have in your hands is a legacy monolith neglected o

I'm starting to grudgingly think the same. Although I like some aspects of C++, the feature set and evolution over the years bothers me, C++20 seems almost like a different language from C++11, like C++11 was to C++03 but with none of

Yup, loved the home screen, it had the right amount of available information and customization, coming from android back them I was very impressed by how slick the OS felt and how it didn't degrade over time even on entry devices. It w

YMMV. From what I hear from my Googler friends, It's all about the team/manager/project you land. Usually a good manager can spot pitfall projects from a mile away and put you on a good path to a promotion. But only being goo

Not OP here. Code reviews, to me, are opportunities to 1) Catch edge use case / business requirements misunderstandings 2) Mentor new hires/junior engineers on the ways things should be done (e.g. internal culture about some archi

I think it's more to avoid complaints and compliance issues than anything. If they refactored everything in a single update, which I believe they are very capable of doing, I can't imagine how much shit they would get from users a

Not at all, but having been on the "dynamically typed spaghetti code with very obscure paths/interactions and no test coverage" refactor wagon, I would take a statically typed option any day.

by DoctorDabadedoo 5y ago
It's a trade off, I think. A compiled static language forces you to behave a certain way at the expense of flexibility/expressiveness, script languages are more flexible, but in a way that is easier to acquire technical debt that

Signal-to-noise ratio. There is just too much stuff going on, information, news, good/bad tech, entertainment, people doing their things, the list goes on. We were blissfully ignorant of all the information that exists in the world. It

Clojure's Rich Hickey? No. I'm not too familiar with him or Clojure, but it seems he put a lot more thought on it than the co-founder in my story could ever dream of.

I used to work for a company which the founder (and original engineer) was both very curious about how compilers worked and paranoid about having the company's code base stolen. That came to fruition with the following idea: "if I
