I bet if you would study mathematics / do your homework instead of just playing SC, you would not have had bad grades. Source: studied math till 2 AM, played some TF till 4 AM, had math classes at 9 AM in highschool. Did not have bad g

Discoverability is at least as important as the documentation content itself. A lot of really good advice here is given with regards to the content. Obviously, this is very important; however, it is not enough, when there are multiple place

You do understand that this is "The SEI: The Leader in Software Engineering and Cybersecurity", and the blog post is written by the SEI tech staff? If our "Software engineering leaders" cannot handle simple tasks, what d

Throughout my rather limited career (~7 years, 4 different companies) I am yet to encounter an actually beneficial (to the project) architect. All they do is talk too much and draw some useless diagrams and do a random task that other team

Instead of suggesting better suited person for the role, I believe we should consider this as yet another example of reality where CEOs do not really influence outcome of the company, especially once it has grown to 100+ employees. Most of

I highly agree with inappropriateness of YAML for GitLab CI/CD configuration. It does work for simple use cases and/or in small repositories - however, doing something slightly more complicated than a simple build/test/d

These intentionally vague terms do have a purpose though - their inventors and early-to-mid adopters hype them up, write a book or two, sell few success stories and that's it - they can now sell their services to the startups and large

On a completely unrelated note, why does this website have to change the way my scroll works, making it unbearably slow? I wonder, what is the motivation behind this decision?

Your landing page takes five hundred years to load. If you cannot do well such a simple thing as landing page, how do you have any courage to promote your actual product, which is much, much more complex than a single page? If anything, all

I see; I agree that proper pattern matching would indeed solve that as well, as e.g. Scala does.

by arkadiytehgraet 8y ago
Could you please elaborate more on what you mean by match statements? Is it an already existing feature of Kotlin?
104.
by arkadiytehgraet 8y ago
Funny you should mention Kotlin; while I like the language a lot, I believe this particular feature would be of immense help in the following scenario: Imagine you have a sealed class Foo, with `class Bar(x: String) : Foo()` and `Baz() : Fo

The only context in the post I replied was about WhatsApp being E2EE, which is factually wrong and incorrect, and we should not propogate this misbelief any further than it already is. I mean, this is literally the quote from the post: >

by arkadiytehgraet 8y ago
Have you actually seen the implementation of the WhatsApp clients on iOS / Android? How can you say that the data is E2EE when there are no sources, no verifiable builds, nothing but just statements that "yes, we do use E2EE"

by arkadiytehgraet 9y ago
How do you know that? Have you seen sources and verified that those sources are actually compiled and shipped with the final product?

I love the part about SO developer story: 84% either do not use it or have never even heard about it (which basically shows its failure) yet insights team tries to interpret it as 40% actually using it. Based only on this point, I wonder ho

Unless this is a some kind of deeply sarcastic/ironic answer, I love it as a prime example of how interviewers do not actually know what they are looking for, and most of their questions are just there to reinforce their initial gut fe

This is exactly the parent's point - aside from the language authors, can you come name other contributors of e.g. Clojure or Erlang?

I don't know how one can be in IT and never hear about "cold boot/warm boot" or "code hot swapping" (as opposed to "cold" launch) or "warmed up VM" or a hundred other examples, all of which

As an interviewee, one of the questions (that I shamelessly stole from somewhere on HN) I like to ask recruiters is this: "Do you like working here?" The answers and the way the answers are given usually tell you quite a lot about

I don't understand why is it a "discrimination". Yes, even 50 hour week severely limits family time; so what? Just do not apply then, especially since they are totally upfront about the desired working hours. It is not as if
