I agree on small orgs, but... recommending startups is a bit iffy, IMO. DGMW, startups can be great, but if you're just a good programmer wanting a stable job, then that startup job is not the job for you. However, you could be a huge

I absolutely subscribe to that, but then again, I don't have a Rule of Three or similar... It's a bit difficult to get across in text, but the minimum number of repetitions of a piece of code to make it "worth" putting i

Another issue is that algorithmic complexity only really 'composes' in a trivial and uninteresting way: Ok, you have a for loop over N items, multiply the complexity of the loop body by N. Well, no not quite... it may be the case

Some reasoning would be nice. I'm guessing this is mostly a nicety to paper over the fact that 'if' is not an expression in JS, so you have to do things like var foo; if (something) { foo = <SomeComponent.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but is > loading other files with XmlHttpRequest simple functionality? To me that actually does sound kind of like an 'advanced' thing to even think of from a beginner's perspective...

That sounds incredible. What kind of kernel-version differences are we talking about here? Basically... how many conflicts and what's the diffstats :)

Well, it worked for ZoL. (I mean that in a positive way. I'm a fan of both... although only theoretically about WireGuard.)

RAID is primarily about redundancy and speed, not really end-to-end integrity. (Though some setups will certainly have some measures against corruption.) ZFS is really designed for end-to-end integrity. Once you're stored data on ZFS,

Your setup won't save you from e.g. bad cables silently corrupting data, or drives simply returning bad data, etc. etc. Btw, journaling has nothing to do with integrity, though I believe it is checksummed these days.

That's a fair critique. It's not him posting.

Yes... and there's really no way to tell unless the simulation actually tells us. An easy test for this is to ask anyone who's either on mind altering chemicals, or schizophrenic[0]. That makes it clear that you are really perce

Yeah, I kind of went off the rails there, didn't I? My point was merely: How do you recgocnize a brain (and its very special cousisn the BB) at all? I wager it's just because you see a human before you. But if you really want to

This is a really old-timey snipe, but... You are not a typical computer user. The typical computer user is Karen from accounting, and Bob from HR.

This is interesting... maybe it's fractal-like? Maybe there are these microcosm(oses,a) that experience these failures of communication and cooperation? Even if we're being cynical, I think we should still be mindful that (usually

I mean... it's probably beyond the imagination of man since it clearly hasn't been invented at this point.

I'm really curious as to why they don't make it, say, protected where the JVM wouldn't actually barf at runtime (or would it? I'm a bit too enmeshed in Scala bincompat at the moment), but where compiling from source woul

Indeed, it's a completely laughable scenario in any corporation that's bigger than, say, 30-50+ employees. (Alternatively: Any corp. that has a dedicated HR department.) It's just the reality of an asocial entity acting for i

It's not trivial if you're forced to conform to an interface which has a narrower "throws" clause than what you need. It's an issue of contravariance vs. covariance. Implementations of an interface/superclass a

Yes there is. I have enough material enough on this for several blog posts, but I won't belabor the point. One, why do you think almost all non-standard java libraries almost exclusively use exceptions derived from RuntimeException? Tw

You can do that with classes -- as long the dependents don't instantiate their dependencies directly. However, I personally like interfaces (well, traits, I'm doing scala), because it makes it much easier for readers to understa

Checked exceptions should just be removed entirely from Java. It's a completely failed experiment. If you really want something like checked exceptions then (anonymous) intersection types or row polymorphism would be much better appr

Doesn't the "doesn't work in [some browser]" make it... not convenient? Is there a problem with localhost:3333 (or whatever)?

Oh, ok, fair enough. I was just thinking back to an evaluation we did on GitLab, but it seems I may have misremembered. We actually ended up going with GitLab, but we cannot currently really justify the price tag for the Enterprise edition

66 is seks-og-tres, i.e. seks (6) og (and/+) tres (60). The latter is technically "tresindstyve" (which is similar to the French, 3x20), but I can guarantee you that the number of people who actually know and care about tha

Incompetence and indifference will be the ruin of us all. This is just another symptom of the Principal-agent problem writ large.

Obviously correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't some of the stuff mentioned by the poster migrated from a higher tier to a lower tier over time? I get the impression that the poster's experience was a while ago...
