Depends on what you're doing, but you can numerically simulate solutions to PDEs. To me that makes them useful even if we struggle to conjure up closed form solutions.

I was mostly in agreement. I suppose it depends on the scale of the data. Fitting 1000 short rows in memory is something I'd expect anyone to know off the top of their head just works. It really depends on the specifics of the question

I don't think so. Software running on your computer has wholesale access to your filesystem. If those files are accessible only via the web (or if you bother setting up ssh + pubkey, via ssh) that significantly reduces the surface area

by blueplanet200 5y ago
Yeah fair, if you run the tests in the cloud that saves you a step (filesystem sync via ssh is still in effect the same as a git clone I'd argue...) If you check out code in RubyMine, it'll try and install the dependencies in the

Good point! I suspect the issue will be running tests. From what I gather they did all this to save developers the pain of compiling ruby gems + specific stuff on your environment (which can be a huge pain...) If you edit a file using some

And I would be happy to end my employment at an employer that mandates what IDE you use. (I would not be surprised that GitHub forces me to use GitHub for development, or Asana uses Asana to track issues, this one is just too far...) No har

They let you ssh in. So you can run vim/emacs on the machine if you want.

How does setting up a desktop IDE work?

by blueplanet200 5y ago
The article says they support web based development, or ssh'ing into the codespaces machine. There are other IDEs besides VS Code and shell based ones.

by blueplanet200 5y ago
I also don't use VS Code usually. My personal preference is a JetBrains IDE, but my point is more engineers should be able to choose the environment they're most productive in.

I would quit so fast if my company forced me to use a web IDE.

You can measure a particle's spin to be up or down. But you can't choose to measure it to be up. It's random and up to nature. This is exactly why it can't be used to send information.
