I feel like saying the entire thing was written to direct people towards DO is stretching it just a tad. Possible that they have some affiliate program with DO? Sure. But Algo itself says that DO is the "most user friendly" on the

Whether he actually proved it for the first time, I'm not sure. But proof and assumed common knowledge are very different things. A simple example in a different domain, the full proof for 1+1=2 is several hundred pages and was not pro

GDPR will cover anyone in the EU. Doesn't cover citizens outside of the EU, and does cover visitors to the EU while they are there. EDIT: But it's also likely that they will enable the protections for everyone in the world, beca

No it's not true. That's exactly why this is so interesting and potentially devastating.

The GDPR is a huge deal and absolutely no joke. This is part of the compliance for that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regula... It has the potential to completely change the way tech giants are

I started going through it, and unfortunately it takes control away from you way too often. I want to be able to toy around with the concepts after I learn them. I'd still recommend `vimtutor`.

Learning by osmosis is just not a thing. You can't just smack a junior in the middle of a team that doesn't effectively do remote, but a team with a good remote culture should certainly have no issues with a junior being remote as

I think the headers are there so they can see if commercial sites are using the personal version and get them to pony up.

This is actually how it's done in New Zealand. We have something called realme https://www.realme.govt.nz/ , which is made by New Zealand Post (our government post service, with the benefit of offices all over the count

I switched from Google Play Music to Spotify specifically because of Discover Weekly and the curated playlists that spotify hosts. I pretty much only listen to music from one of those two. Conversely, the "daily mix" playlists see

I would imagine that they wouldn't be able to sell the hardware in china without a contract to redirect traffic through a terrestrial station that's inside the great wall. I doubt that's feasible.

There are a few proposals to move to a more standardized month, one being the International Fixed Calendar which contains 13 months of 28 days each, and one "year day" at the end of the year which can function as a public holiday.

Right, but this is facebook, and it's breaking auth. This is the company that said that if there's a million dollar bug, they will pay out for it. I'm not saying this is a million dollar bug, but breaking auth is up there on

I don't see the huge issue with using VB. You can engineer a solution in a modern language terribly, and similarly engineer a VB application well. However I do suspect that they engineered the VB application terribly. But them using VB

yeah, the GIL only slows down threaded code. The big reason that the GIL hasn't been removed is that any patch removing the GIL slows single threaded performance.

Go has high level constructs like python, C# or Java. However, it compiles down to machine code directly, like C. This is much faster than C# or Java, which compile to an intermediate interface (CLR and java bytecode respectively, which the

It's buzzfeed, they go for what gets pageviews. He found an internal source that's handing him info on a silver platter for whatever reason, I doubt there's a huge motive behind this besides more ad revenue.

by andkenneth 10y ago
These guys get better PR by their reputation. They know what clients they want, so they can target them directly. Buzzfeed giving them positive PR is almost negligible in its impact. Meanwhile, if it came out that they leaked a pen test rep

I was thinking about getting into bitcoin mining when it was still plausible to do it by yourself. Kicking myself now, but really it was a weird longshot thing at the time.

Atom at least treats soft tabs as tabs for the most part, when you backspace into a soft tab it will delete all 4 spaces at once.

I'm even considering a bootcamp after graduating university for the reasons that this article points out. I feel woefully inadequate when it comes to practical programming skills.

I work as a teaching assistant in a compsci 101 lab - I found this paper to be incredibly eye opening, and will hopefully help me link the intuitive thoughts people have with the specific language features they should be using. We just did

Don't most package managers do that themselves anyway? Like npm and pip seem to. Or are they doing something different behind the scenes.

I feel like this seems like a way more developed strategy for keeping developers engaged... dotnet going open source and multiplatform is a pretty big gesture for just a downward trend thing.

I would bet that it will only get better over time and include a fair amount of the things you are talking about in a few years time. It's obviously a big push to pick up the current "I use a mac for development cause it's un

Linux users were going around for a while saying "this is the year of linux on the desktop", and yeah it kind of turned into a bit of a meme. Realistically linux did hit it big, but on a phone OS. It's now one of the most ins

Yeah discord really isn't even suitable for gaming community staff, it's really best as a gathering place for your team/clan/community rather than a place to get real work done. We still use slack for admins/devs&#x

Hey they might get me off of this. I got a mac because it was the best tool for the job - mainly because native bash is just always sitting there.
