I have had some recent SO frustration with sheer number of answering/seeing SO posts where I have been like... you really couldn't have just googled that? I guess basically boils down to conversation vs searching. In the last coup

Oh I guess its cause I only use it for personal scripts and only really started using it after Groovy 2 (although I used the language before I didn't switch from Python to Groovy till after Groovy 2). I am also not as Groovy as I could

It also really depends on what is meant by HTTP. If we are including Websockets and HTTP2/SPDY than yeah I might see HTTP as more viable choice over AMQP, Thrift, custom sockets, etc. The problem is internal communication and (especial

Yes and no. Some incoherent thoughts below: For plain fire and forget you are correct that async pub/sub is decoupled and in fact while our monolithic app is monolithic it actually is fairly decoupled because of this (e.g. it often is

The problem is that we don't use HTTP(S) for micro-services but rather ZeroMQ and/or RabbitMQ. Many async pub/sub platforms are much more complicated to test. I assume Hoverfly doesn't yet support other protocols but doe

I can't speak for SF's homeless but here in New England it seems the drastic increase in homeless has not really been from gentrification but rather the opioid problem. The disturbing thing is (and yes its anecdotal based on Walth

I used to write a lot of personal Python scripts (ie ~/bin). I mainly did this because I seem to always screw up bash scripts and just can't remember all the conditional flags ie ([[-z ]] and error handling with bash for me has al

I haven't interviewed in some time but one thing I absolutely hate about technical interviews is "white board" coding. For some reason white boards intimidate me. I have terrible penmanship and complete lack of planning how m

Not to completely denigrate Apache but I have found contributing to Apache projects (not the license but real apache projects) to be somewhat of a hassle. They generally do not do PRs but rather patches via email or attached to bugs (perhap

My wife and I bought a 2-family (we live in the other unit) a couple of years ago and so many people told us how it was a bad idea. People said we would have horrible tenets and that finding renters would be hard and that selling rental pro

I would have to sort of disagree that black coffee is always going to give you more of a "true" coffee taste. Adding fat and sodium for most things generally exemplifies the taste and flavor (not sugar). For example adding tarrago

Previous relevant HN post: "Strong Legs Associated with Healthy Brains in Twin Study" - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10594516 IMO I think squats are superior to running for overall health.

I too came to the same conclusion that the article did quite some time ago. Apple just owns on build quality. I am Longtime Lenovo + Linux user that recently switched to Mac and as much I really hate OSX UI the build quality of apple is wor

The article is pretty simple and not even really helpful for technical folks (since I'm sure most on HN are aware of the chrome task manager) It does remind me of the serious issue with horrible Ad heavy sites and opens broader questio

This is just anecdotal but the problem with spending a large amount of money on a great bed, pillow, and other comforts is that you get extremely use to it (ignoring medical issues). So once you go to a hotel, friends house, etc it becomes

That is correct that the libraries should not have DI but I should be able to wire up the library on my own and not let the library do its own static initialization. What is far worse than Class.forName and other crap is libraries self impo

I find this argument sort related to the framework vs library and opinionated vs agnostic. Being an old fart Java developer I generally prefer things where you can plugin your own implementation (ie agnostic). That is there is an extreme fo

I actually was sort of curious as to the opposite. What does it mean if gravitational waves (that we can detect) are extremely common and become fairly easy to detect with future technology given todays news? The article says many expected

No the same thing did not happen to the Aral Sea. What happened to the Aral sea was far far worse and far far more of our fault (humans).

I think what your trying to say can be more abstractly put as "the ends justify the means". > Rules in society are also pretty stupid. If you mean laws than no.. they are not stupid. Killing people and getting away with it is b

Assessment testing is not a common phrase. In the recruiting industry it means something very specific and I wanted to make sure it was explicit that I am talking about that type of testing and not just testing for whatever other reasons yo

This game would actually make for a great assessment test[1] for hiring. I might be interesting to retrofit it to keep score or maybe perma death ala roguelike. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_(assessment)

I abhor assessment testing as I think it stresses potentially great candidates who are anxiety prone but my company makes recruiting software and thats what customers want so I'm always looking for interesting potential tests. Oh......
