I had some similar initial issues getting it working (also suffered from the comedy issues with not being able to run Android Studio on modern JDK/JRE versions due to JavaFX stuff being removed). After I'd faffed about and made it

Yes, that's what their web site says.

We tend to try to do any vaguely longer term/important estimation as a team exercise, which ends up with people talking each other's estimates up, not down - you explore the problem space more effectively as a team and a lot of &q

by HereBeBeasties 7y ago
IME, if the manager is primarily coming up with the estimates, rather than the team, you're doing it wrong. (And are doomed to an eternal cycle of blame, stress and lack of trust.)

Define "trust". As an industry I think we often talk about the wrong things here. People look at this from the point of view of controlling IT & developers (controlling costs, deadlines, functionality, etc.) when really everyo

I think the original commenter knows full well what an array is. Vague justifications like "can cause problems" is probably exactly what he's referring to, in fact - people who know that inserting elements into an array is &q

I think that site pretty much nails it, especially SSO (depending on what you're doing you probably want LDAP, SAML and OIDC/OAuth2) and audit logs. It misses a couple of other nice to have differentiators, though: The ability to

Flutter looks like it could be quite interesting for this - on mobile it compiles over to native machine code and uses GL or whatever. I haven't looked at the details for web, but I think it does webasm and canvas, etc. and with the ar

It's also used quite extensively for data visualisation roles that D3 has traditionally been king of, in fact often alongside D3's libraries for calculating axis tick marks, colour scales, etc. To that end, you actually do end up

Define "sustainable". Seems like it encourages companies to get in a bidding war against each other in a race to zero profit margins, while Google pockets what could have been their revenue.

Their customers do, though, and that's the whole point. Without giving people a short, reasonable time to patch, you're part of the problem, not part of the solution. For what it's worth, you are also coming across as somethi

Please do. IMO, this was very well written, well-paced and interesting.

I have to ask, "so what?" Provided the abstraction doesn't leak I really don't care, in the same way that end users of Microsoft Word don't care about the algorithms that kern their text, about how DirectWrite does

If you teach others English, please learn the difference between "none" and "non". You mean "non-standard" in all your examples here (if British) or perhaps "nonstandard" (if American).

Although your point is sort-of true, but I don't really see how it's valid here. The author is talking about the performance implications of the two approaches in situations where the function parameters are not mutated. Suggestin

Nearly all the software you actually use. Do you think things like Vault, Consul, Kubernetes, Apache, Nginx, NodeJS, NPM, React, VueJS, etc. etc. etc. were all "mature" one year in? Many of those are actually extremely simple and

Clearly NASA's Apollo programme would have been more of a success with only one or two people executing it. Or the Large Hadron Collider. Or the Linux Kernel (and no, that's very much not the work of one person). Or anything else

I made a mistake mentioning Prometheus - it's the least important point in my post. I get that you may provide something for monitoring (performance and tracing, at least) that's more baked into the whole AST/graph model and

They've achieved a 0.5% increase in production volume in Q2, compared to Q4 2018, to 87,084 vehicles. I'd hardly call that "rapid progress". For comparison, Toyota make around 2.2 million vehicles per quarter. A more rea

There's nothing wrong with solar per-se, but it's just not sufficiently power dense if you're talking national scale power usage. https://www.finder.com/uk/solar-power-potential seems to think that count
