How could it not have been turned into a major international incident? It feels weird even calling this 'an incident'. It's not like they invaded by mistake

Even before the Ukraine conflict, I often thought how at any moment there are nuclear bombs pointed at me by some other country and within few clicks away from being launched. I am just hoping there is no software bug or a mistake while the

I am a young guy and used to believe stats like this. Now, I view it as a conspiracy theory that's meant to make young guys paranoid. And of course, many of those who come up with these theories, have books and courses to sell to those

Is the procrastination affecting your job performance or only personal projects? If it's personal projects, then I would stop putting so much pressure on yourself to accomplish them. You don't have to be productive all the time.

I once got asked this question by a technical recruiter in a phone call. I said I don't think there is a difference. She started explaining how Software Developer is someone who just codes and that's it, and Software Engineer is s

This reminds of the times when I was at school and was solving the weekly online challenges for National Cipher Challenge (UK). My program which cracked Vigenere cipher was one of my first projects when I was learning programming. My soluti

I think a lot of people feel like that - at least from time to time. It's not easy to find meaning in modern society and the corporate world. I just shut it down while working and think what I want to achieve and do outside of work. Al

What if Google didn't scrape websites automatically, and waited till users submit their domains to them, to mark that they want to be scraped? I think in that case, most users would still submit their domains there, because they want t

Why would you need to hook it up to the brain? I am assuming to respond to signals, for example stressed -> beat faster? But what would happen if you didn't have this automatic response? Let's say the heartbeat could be control

If you haven't already, get a head start on learning the programming language for the course (C++, Java, Python). One of my regrets about my time at university, was that I focused only on the course and the exams, and didn't build

You're not either a good guy or an asshole. There is a lot inbetween. Sometimes good people make mistakes, but I don't think it's good to instantly label them as assholes.

Imagine a world where everyone speaks only the language of the country where they were born, and doesn't learn any foreign languagues. On your other point - is browsing HN the most economic and effective way to spend your time? I think

Is it not arrogant and selfish to tell people that they should die at 80-90 years old, if there could be a way to live longer?

I agree, but perhaps I didn't word it the right way in my original comment. With microservices there is a big overhead in development and managing failures, but functionally it doesn't offer much more than a function call within a

Fundamentally, I don't really see much difference between monoliths and microservices. In a monolith, you just call another function/class, but in microservices that function is a http call. I guess the benefit of microservices is

Yes, it seems to come up on HN every week. I like to append "reddit" to many queries, for example "best bicycle for under $500 reddit", where you can read some interesting discussions, rather than a random SEO website wi

I think character is more important than social skills. I've met people who were a bit awkward or quirky, but were liked by everyone, because they were nice and kind people. At the same time, there are people with great social skills o

I don't really understand why software engineers need to be EXCITED about their profession. I don't think the same would be expected from a lawyer or a doctor. I also think that excitement =/= passion. For example, if you loo

Try to catch your negative thoughts and question them. For example, if you have a thought "X is not going to work" then you can ask yourself: "What is the evidence that X has absolutely no chance of working?" and "W

It's not unprofessional, as long as you fulfil any contract obligations. If you have a notice period, work through it and give it your best. For the future, think about what you could have asked in the interview to avoid joining a comp

Is there a way to get the "PE ratio" excluding growth/marketing costs? My understanding is that the growth/marketing costs come under the operating expenses, so will not show as profits/earnings. If a company, has $
