Well, there are real drawbacks to remote work. It hinders creativity and practically limits exchange between workers. Whether it's still worth it for the company or whether they can mitigate the downsites is another question but there

I disagree about Kuala Lumpur. Maybe it depends on the area, but IME the walkability is great. Public transport is superb, lots of zebra crossings and foot paths, drivers are considerate. I see lots of people walking everywhere. Even at nig

Best solution is to have a serial identifier internally and a generated ID for external. And yes it shouldn't be a UUID as they are user-hostile, it should be something like 6-10 letters+digits.

You never expose the bigserial, you generate a ID (like UUID) for external use/identification and simply have an index over that column for fast selects.

At least for Europe this is wrong. I mean yes, there are new trade treaties but internally EU regulations and at least for Germany its regulations increase by the day. Just this year the personal tax declaration form got 10 or so additional

This is already here and in use. See Next.js using React.js for example. Server-side rendering out of the box and small next needed pieces are loaded continuously when they are needed.

The wrong order in the statements is a minor inconvenience but the widespread use and having an industry standard is 100x as valuable.

Interestingely there is this split of the action again so you need to stash away the "let's" in your brain until you know what to "let's" which comes only at the end of the sentence. In the english version the

Wow, I never heard about that and I suspect it's not well-known at all inside the EU.

Not being able to update your code plus your app will completely crash randomly at some point between now and eternity - sounds great!

So if a company wants to attract top talent they can just publicy offer +10% and they get the best people. Seems to me it could become a race to the top, heavily benefiting employees.

Also we have constant progress of automation and technology since thousands of years already, so there would need to be a reason why this step out of all steps suddenly elevates us to Eden.

I agree it's a big mistake to not make the nesting rules compatible to Sass/Less. > Because of limitations in browser parsing engines, you must make sure the nested selector (.bar in the above example) always starts with a symb

Yes, sorry that's an anecdote of me and everyone I know that has tried ChatgGPT. Obviously in the grand scheme of things this is nothing, but if other early adopters behave similarly it is a great threat to Google because if it catches

> what am I missing? Why would a chatbot like ChatGPT disrupt Google vs forcing Google to simply evolve. Because it's not clear yet whether anyone else can currently develop a chatbot interface as capable as ChatGPT. For many ChatGP

I think you can just make that dependent on the table's data. For a table of user posts use bigserial but for a list of companies, prices or names the serial will surely be sufficient.

I want to support the proposed solutions in this comment. A long time ago I was like the engineer that is described by OP. Basically what drove me was the search for engineering /coding challenges.

Just curious, which kind of exchanges do you mean that are 100 years young? The first stock exchange came to be >400 years ago and I guess there are currency or other exchanges that were there before. (Sorry if I just seem to want to poi

I think a large part of the valuation was also the promise of full self driving. Musk repeatedly stated that it would coming "very soon" and Tesla would have been the first worldwide with that. Now we know that Tesla will probably

In Germany at least it's less about safety and more about keeping competition at bay. Operating a taxi requires you to buy a "token" on the black market for around USD 50.000 and by law only token owners are allowed to pick u

As always it depends on the context. I worked in a company where we streamed video to millions of end users and it was 10x cheaper to operate our own datacenter instead of renting cloud things for that. We also used hosted cloud offerings w

I love the concept of Supabase, I only worry about performance in this case. Almost all API calls in my applications execute some SQL to gather data from the database. Having the edge function execute several select queries on the database

It's just entertainment. You could say the same about books or TV. At least Facebook, Instagram and TikTok are social and interactive and encourage people to produce content instead of just consuming passively.

At the same time they don't utilize the 4 most easy to reach points of the screen, the corners. Windows always used those for essential interactions so the interface was really fast to use: for the start menu just throw your mouse to t

You don't need AI for that. 20 years ago my neighbors had a small device that would automatically mute the TV whenever the ads started playing and unmuted when they finished. No idea how it worked but for sure it didn't have a fan
