I have made this point to my teammates. When I expressed concern about my job, several of them disagreed and said I was irreplaceable. I told them no one is irreplaceable. The company would be happier with someone who did 60% of my work get

I was a cook at Sonic who occasionally helped with carhopping. I couldn't skate but tried to learn. It's hard work! I raise a cherry limeade in your honor.

The firehose itself isn't really the fiddly part since it's just a WebSocket connection. Setting up the feed server, publishing the DID for its web host, then publishing the feed generator to the network were all kind of a low-gra

I built a custom feed server for Bluesky that drinks from the firehose. Getting everything working was very fiddly. For a hobby, the friction of it outweighed the entertainment value for me. Working with the firehose probably isn't fea

I'm a little surprised to hear this. Writing a state machine to simulate an alarm clock used to be an introductory project for first-year computer science undergraduates.

I'm not sure what you mean. jagged-chisel asked how we look for smart choices in the software we download and install. I gave examples of how poor choices manifest for end users, the idea being that a lack of those issues suggests smar

Poor choices during development reveal themselves in many ways: poor performance, awkward workflows, mandatory upgrades, one-way data conversions, inaccurate documentation, and so on.

It's a simple prescriptive rule in English. If you are writing about a small number, like less than ten, spell it out. For example: "According to a survey, nine out of ten people agree." But if you are writing about a large n

In the context of American Christian hegemony, even if "damn" or "damned" isn't considered particularly strong by many, a lot of people object strongly to "goddamn." It's a superstition that has to do

It's what we call a minced oath. "Got dang" is an inoffensive substitute for "goddamn."

It's the default shell in macOS, so I imagine quite a lot of people do. Like me!

I actually spoke to one Monday, and the takeaway is I can't do much except hope for the opportunity to file a wrongful termination claim with the EEOC. Let me clarify that in my case, I wasn't hired as a remote worker. I went into

My employer is mandating RTO now as well. I'm going for a medical accommodation, but they're even pushing back against that. They argue that office attendance is essential to my role--a role I got in 2021 after more than a year of

If you publish them to a podcast-compatible RSS feed, yes, of course, you are podcasting. There are plenty of video podcasts. I know a lot of people conflate "podcast" with "show." Just publishing a podcast feed of your

Well, yes, of course it's different from an MP3. Part of what makes podcasting possible is RSS. If I upload an MP3 to my website, that isn't the same as uploading an MP3 and publishing an update for it to an RSS feed monitored by

What do you mean "hordes of baristas rejoicing that programmers will lose jobs"? Who are these baristas? Where can I see this rejoicing?

I don't think you can reduce the comparison to "better than," but AV1 certainly compresses to smaller files than HEVC. Maybe that's a better fit for your use case.

Not that I agree with the tweet's conclusion, but pray share one of the obvious alternative explanations.

That's how I signed up for Nextdoor, a social network based on neighborhoods.

I'm glad you asked, because I should clarify that my use case is "fire and forget" tasks. The controller is not interested in the result of the service's operation, so there is no need for any return value. Regarding you

It's not a slur exactly, but in the United States, "Ivan" is a common name used to refer (usually dismissively) to Russians.

Prior to channels, we'd add a ConcurrentQueue<T> from System.Collections.Concurrent to the service then expose a public method that enqueued an instance of T. Controllers then received the singleton instance of the services throu

by FroshKiller 3y ago
Yes, the controller consumes an instance of ChannelWriter<T> where T is a job type, and the service consumes an instance of ChannelReader<T>. With basic dependency injection, this means you have to set up & register differen
