Did you go to same university, the same clubs? Have a look at lot of founders on linkedin. You'll notice a lot go to the same small set of universities, or worked for same companies. Then there's the odd exception. But they'r

Plenty of businesses also fail. In fact a large chunk do. Starting a business is one of the most risky things you can do. Much more risky then having a diversified portfolio. However the rewards can be amazing given the relatively small cha

But the reality doesn't really show that. Most growth comes large highly capitalised companies with money to invest in expanding knowledge and capital. The startup making it big is still relatively rare thing in the grand scheme things

In a lot of companies the definition of senior engineer helping others develop technical skills.

Will this run off the mainline kernel? Or will require strange patches from somewhere? Half the problem with orange pi is lack of main Linux distribution support.

"Most software dev roles in the UK top out between £40 and £50k, £60k if you're lucky" was the comment I was replying to. But I agree we don't compete with the USA. Even London struggles with that.

You've moved the goal posts. You said 60k if your lucky. I just found multiple jobs that pay more than that easily. 85k job up north is a comparable lifestyle than 100k+ job in London.

I am not a top software engineer( (otherwise I'd be working fang tbh) and I earn 85k up north. Hybrid role that's local as well. I know people that earn a lot more than me. It's just the recruiters are a joke and advertise si

Have you seen the national debt under the conservatives? It's massively increased.

There's a huge JLR presence in Solihull right next to Birmingham. It's also one of the wealthiest areas outside of London. But house prices in the really nice parts of Solihull are also high.

I like AI for specific tasks its suited to and the tech involved. But i'm skeptical it can create widespread massive productivity improvements. I think its bit oversold on that. We seem to lack people to fix pot holes, not report them.

Because you can't decide to just change stack at work. At most people won't hire someone based on side projects.

MMT isn't a set policies. It's a description of how money works, when you have fiat currency. Government is a source of money. Taxation is a sink. Too much money in the system you get inflation, not enough deflation. When you can

At my place 90% of them are 3rd parties going down, and you can't do much other than leave. But the new 3rd parties are just as bad. All you can do gracefully handle failure.

In general I have fake IO object and a real IO object. Then run the same bunch of tests against them to make sure behaviour matches. You have verified your mock has the same behaviour as the real thing. I then run unit tests against the fak

They can do both.

by UK-AL 2y ago
Because you have 40000 tests, and an in memory object means they can run in seconds. And the real thing runs in minutes.

I would want to seperate those tests. You want to know what has failed. Also depends on how many tests you have.

People who ask for estimates, don't consider estimates with huge error bars good. Literally anyone can make estimate with a decent amount of error. To narrow down the estimate to what they want would take just as long as just doing the

Parse Tree and AST are slightly different. A parse tree can be implict. A recursive descent parser can can explore the parse tree without there being an explict parse tree data structure.

We have a very good test suite, I don't think there's been a bad release in years.
