I'll be honest I scroll through the trending page once a day. I am not sure about javascript because I couldn't care less about it, but I have to admit for many other languages, I do end up wondering how some projects get to trend

I'm currently working on a personal project and I was planning on using angulardart + tailwind (the css part only) but I will definitely check if the css side of bootstrap 5 might not be a more productive option. Good work regardless a

I only knew of Dexamethasone as cancer treatment. Which intuitively makes me wanna question how good of an idea this is. That said, my knowledge on medicine outside the sheer basics is practically none... I mean correct me if I'm wrong

That's what I'm asking. I mean there are probably tons and tons of custom built tools, ci/cd's around the current default "master" branch. It would be awesome to wake up and see a ton of alarms and all builds a

I'm not so sure about this... I speak 3 languages and it does exist in only two of them. The closest you can get to "huh" is probably "eh" in the last one, though that is still fairly close. Mind you, those are all

A few things off the top of my head, no particular order: * Read the documentation. I can't stress enough on that. * Don't over-engineer stuff. Keep it plain and simple. Remember - most of your co-workers will have a lot of experi

As a full time linux user, it pains me to say it but there will never be a "Year of the Linux desktop". Not now, not in 100 years. Linux is the weapon of choice for a very small audience and the proprietary giants are simply not i

Yes, Europe, Bulgaria. I'm considering Tuxedo, I mean without the covid-19 situation, a return ticket to Germany is ~60 euros, I'd still have to waste a 2-3 days compared to my current Asus (the largest repair center is 700 meters

Good job! Haven't opened gimp or photoshop in years but looking at it, it seems to resemble photoshop _A_LOT_ as far as UI is concerned and that's probably a good thing: photoshop folks would feel more at home. Specifically what r

Things slip through inevitably but it's easy to correct them when you spot them eventually or am I missing something? That's what I do and that's what we've agreed upon with all developers and it's working flawlessl

OK, good points, but my argument stands in most cases: It doesn't matter how experienced a developer is. You'll rarely see anyone as pedantic as I am when it comes to conventions, structure or organization, but there have been mul

by axegon_ 6y ago
Well that's an organizational problem. Personally when I do code review and I see a comment which is redundant or doesn't match the code, I immediately return the PR and tell the developer to fix it.

I have mixed feelings about this. I think it depends on the project you are working on. If your codebase can be packed into a few hundred lines of code, with nothing fancy or complicated and no code is being injected from elsewhere, then th

Blosc is an excellent choice if speed is what you are after. Give or take 5 years ago I had to use a compression to transport a lot of data over zmq and blosc ran in circles over all other compressions.

For whatever reason people are often tempted to victimize themselves and assume that everyone has it better than them. Which is an incredibly slippery and dangerous slope(looking at the news over the last few years). And with that in mind,

There are plenty of people who generally feel the same way and stay away from social media in general(myself included). Which is incredibly odd when you are building things that are aimed at those exact people. A case of "don't us
