This sounds like victim blaming devs for correctly calling things numbers, but the expected correct answer is something else. There shouldn't be a guessing game as to what the most correct name is that causes everything else to be wron

There are a lot of cases where you have to be available on chat. Either sit at your desk and do nothing for 12 hours straight, or do anything you want and just have your phone on you. This could either be a slow day at work, or an actual of

Yeah. Medical procedures, like abortions in the states, are a very real example of how things can dramatically change on a whim to an unbelievable level. Or syncing your cycle data to a smart device and later having a retro-scan to detect c

You're textbook correct, I think, but in general I never really understand the CEO who makes a statement about trying to do everything they could to prevent this from happening but there was no possible other situation than laying off

I don't know the last time I could trust an article or even scientific paper about weight / diets / food effects. You'd think the vast amounts of scientific papers would be conclusive, but they're constantly contrad

I'm in some Discord chats for various things, and they often have a channel where people can post their artwork. Often, people spend weeks or months on a piece of fan art that's related to the Discord topic, or they draw a picture

It gets really confusing when you talk about "in the red" or the black / red coloring and it depends on which side of the books you're on for what it means. I get this mixed up with electrical engineering every time now.

I'm exactly the opposite! I hated Java in school. I was going to switch careers because of it. I eventually graduated and my second job was a Java SWE. I realized it's not just you sitting in a void on a theoretical BS questions.

Reasonable price? Is paying more than a Netflix subscription reasonable to have no ads on content with no expanded content library?

Every time I look into the big new tech thing, or someone is explaining even some old tech, they get lost in technical jargon. They just prioritize that over any of the details or useful terminology to actually explain what they did or how

I don't understand how people figure out what registry entries to make out of the ether for certain changes. I don't know why most programs have an in-program settings menu, an external settings.json or something similar, and then

I've heard mixed reports that this used to be the case but is no longer a major thing they do. I think in the past few years they added some more credibly binding statements on their site about not removing or identifying user reviews.

On this point, I would like to put some of the major libraries (like jQuery) just wrapped into the browser and developers have to deal with it. Common graphics like the loading spinner could be included as well. Do we really need to be cons

Those experienced with web dev around here will tell you Chrome is the main (or only) browser tested with most websites these days. Some things might be slow or broken in Firefox. One example situation that comes to mind is you can't s

I don't have time to memorize leetcode, and I'm just not good at it. Even considering it can just take time for everyone, I'm somehow unexpectedly bad despite my experience. I'm actually pretty good at actual software en

I've only seen Windows and Mac options at work other than rare devops / sys admins who are using like red hat in some cases. Is there a generally agreed upon standard distro? A lot of random programs that seem to be needed for cor

Oldie? Goodie? OBS is currently the defacto standard in streaming software. There is no real alternative. Any alternative is a reskinned OBS. Streaming aside, it's a (the?) category leader in screen recording and audio manipulation.

This reminds me of all the people that memorize leetcode problems to pass FAANG interviews instead of actually working real problems. Yes, it’s cheating. The consent is you’re given a random question and let’s see how you do under pressure

Students are cheating on tests, yet technical interview tests are still the standard. How does memorizing a question so you can regurgitate it benefit anyone? I consider even that to be cheating. You're not thinking through the problem

I also “invented this idea” from scratch in a series that exists solely in my mind where I abuse a variety of free services for unintended purposes. I could seemingly never explain the concept to other developers in a meaningful way or care

Is this a NZ-caused problem like the article seems to imply? Or is it foreign countries / companies buying up houses in place of stock like seems to be the case everywhere else? Or is it just more billionaires (from other countries)

I wonder if this will turn into the "Do Not Call" list situation, which advertisers seem to download and use as their "Call List" because it's just so easy and accessible. Confirm your email is valid, and then add i
