Exactly, if you want people to think about your code/changes you should be able to give them the needed context. If you don't know them, please realize your code isn't automatically a gift everybody waited for, you may see it

A good manager gets in a fight with their superior(s) if their superior happens to be wrong. A bad manager will avoid conflict with their superior, nod too unrealistic demands and then badmouth the superior with their team. A catastrophic m

I tend to do that as well. Usually starting with a clarification of the expectations. Then I ask what budget they are prepared to allocate to meet said expectations. If the answer is "none", I ask them which other expectation shal

That would mean you're not on one page with the others about what the project is meant to achieve and what not. E.g. let's say one library is more privacy friendly and the other allows more data collection, depending on the projec

Yes, but we went from a time where these optimizations were absolutely unavoidable (so unavoidable that programmers would sacrifice any other thing for it) to one where the optimizations may be a nice to have, but for most organizations the

I was born in the 90s so memory has been plenty for me during my programmers journey. Until I started doing more embedded signal peocessing stuff. It is good to know how to use memory efficiently, even today. But it is also important to kno

Chances based on my experience? 50:50 Old engineers will say things that are hard learned lessons like "don't reinvent the wheel, when your thing is running on a system that comes with wheels". So, good solid advice that rook

That's the question. And the answer is that different people prefer different things. I for example vastly prefer to listen to a full releases, that would be "shuffle by album", others want it to be as non-repetitive as possi

Or phrased in a different way: "Is an interface that forces drivers to look away from the road dangerous?" To which the honest and obvious answer is that it is hard to imagine it wouldn't. My old 90s VW Polo could be operated

My personal opinion is: If your config needs to be so complex you can't make do with TOML you should just use a interpreted programming language instead. It is totally acceptable to use a config.py for example. You get lists, dicts,

Joe Rogan was a stand up comedian in the 80s/90s, appeared on the MTV comedy show Half-Hour Comedy Hour and was performing at The Comedy Store in Hollywood. Not that I find him funny, but that in my book at least would make him som

My suspicion is that mobile vs desktop is to the most part a divide that aligns with a divide between consumer and producer. And treating customers as consumers allows you to turn general purpose computers into narrow purpose ones, where yo

For those who are still indifferent about stuff like this, a short reminder of a historical timeline: - Month 0 (Jan 1933): Hitler appointed Chancellor - Month 1 (Feb 1933): Reichstag fire; Reichstag Fire Decree suspends key civil liberties

Many reasons. Maybe not doing that thing will be bad inthe long run. Maybe you want the fruit of doing that thing, but cannot enjoy doing it right now, etc. A popular example would be sports if you're not very fit. You would obviousl

The real solution is to clarify the position of the folder in the hierarchy. If the Pictures folder is in your user directory what else than your folder should it be? Lets say your name is alex and you share the computer with tony. Both o

Looks cool, I like the use of decorators as a means to use essentially turn python into some sort of DSL. One nitpick: Please include a paragraph/section/infobox explaining what eBPF is and what problems should be solved using it.
