I just wanted to follow up and let you know that I really took this advice to heart while applying to a few companies after reading it. I just accepted an offer at a great company, and I do think that it was in part because of the advice yo

I'm curious if anyone here has had success with more "coarsely grained" time tracking? I've found that I'd have no issues tracking my time by day or at most half-day increments, especially since for the most part th

Well the .dev domains are going up in a "dutch auction" style. The price starts off at an insane $11,500 per domain, and then slowly over the course of 2 weeks goes down to $12 per domain, first come first serve. It's a prett

I do, but only because git and GitHub made it so easy to setup. I've read both that it can help with security, and that it doesn't help at all, but for the 5 minutes it took to setup I figured it can't hurt and the green veri

I'm someone that was impacted by this (had about $2700 put on my credit card), and yes I will trust them again. Mistakes happen, and I think it's silly to overreact and completely cut ties with a company over a single mistake. It

I'm 100% with you, and I also really would love something better, but I think there are a lot of little issues that still need to be solved (like how micropayments still don't seem to be workable with current credit card systems),

I really don't mean to be snarky here, but you could pay to read it? A lot of people on HN dislike advertising, but content creators are going to need to get paid if they want to create good content, and paying for it seems like a grea

But if you don't think the dutch auction style is a good one, what would your alternative be? Because the problem of resellers buying up TONS of domain names is a real one, and thus far a dutch auction style seems to be one good way to

I believe they are not talking about the individual suffering there, but about the industry as a whole suffering because experienced talent is getting drained out.

Or you can do what a past coworker did. We settled on standard.js for our linting in a project, and they don't use semicolons. The coworker hated this, so he setup his editor to auto-format into his preferred style on load, then on sav

>Just end lines with `;`. But that's not always the solution, you still need to know when ASI kicks in and when it doesn't. "just end lines with ;" isn't true in multi-line arrays, in multi-line objects, and a to

To expand on this, "verification" or "observation" of paper voting can be done by just about anyone. Young or old, natives or transplants, left or right, comp sci majors or the high school dropout, just about anyone can

lol I did it too once! We were making a PoC one time for a small app, and ended up needing a way to quickly determine some location information related to the zip. I remembered that I saw the ~5mb bundle once that had all the zipcodes in it

I appreciate the advice, and i'm going to try taking this to heart. It's funny how i've been on the other side of the interview many times, and all the advice I'm hearing here rings true, and I know it is, but I just see

by Klathmon 8y ago
2mb is a LOT of code, like an absurd amount for most projects. That almost always points to larger issues, like a complete disregard for bundle size in the first place. And if the project isn't worrying about bundle size at all, then e

I feel I do great during the interview, it's just getting to that point is where I'm struggling. Writing that out seems to really bring out a part of my brain that makes it always feel braggy. (I really think it's the fact th

I personally always talk about what "we" did because it helps me get out of my own way. I worked at a company for like 6 years, and for almost 4 of them i was the sole engineer tasked with designing a database for the data, creati

But how do you attribute this to Google and not to the web exploding in size several magnitudes. Finding a needle in a 3ft haystack is one thing, finding it in 3 miles of hay is another. I feel it's not Google getting worse for some qu

I don't get those in the mail anymore, just an email with a link to their site. But even if I did, what do you do from there? Call someone and say "I have a piece of paper that says I should have $x but they say I have $y"?

I can't even imagine the hellish process that you would have to go through to prove that you actually owned the money you did to receive the FDIC or SPIC pay. I'm genuinely curious what the process would look like, if it even appl

I don't know, and I'm not sure if anyone outside of the person who gets the order can know, because these laws are so vague anything can be required.

by Klathmon 8y ago
Well don't be too excited about it, because laws like the one this article is about makes that kind of response impossible (as in you WILL be thrown in jail for the rest of your life if you attempt to do that). And even in the US it st

I'm not a lawyer, but from what I hear any Australian employees can be compelled to change code and be threatened with prison if they tell anyone. Any companies with any presence in Aus can be given demands and gag orders to ensure the

They were threatened with further charges unless they complied with them in electronic form, which is when the company was famously shuttered. Edit: And according to the wikipedia page [1] for Lavabit, he was successfully held in contempt o

The Australian government could just force Google or Apple to make updates to their OS to not enforce signatures for some apps, or put in vulnerabilities that could be used by them to bypass signature checking at all.

You'd probably be charged with something and punished. Courts don't take to kindly to people trying to be cute with their demands. It's not like they are going to say "well they are technically right" and give up, t

To be fair, that's been tried a lot, and it keeps causing issues. I'm at the point where I believe that you can't "layer on" or "abstract away" security like you can with other things, it needs to be thoug

I'd say all the rules about code complexity are like this. Recommended function/class/file size, when to abstract vs when to copy, even size/names of function arguments. There are "rules" about all of these, bu

We are on the same page! If the binaries are distributed over npm and work well in the npm ecosystem, them I'm all for it! My only reservations are about blindly writing things in compiled languages, or not using package managers at al
