Is quantum computing a realistic possibility, or is it going to be 5 years away for eternity?

It solves that problem but adds it's own. I guess its overall a positive.

Sounds all too familiar. We had an application that ran MRI analyses. The web app to manage the jobs was all set up in kubernetes to scale on demand. But is was a basic CRUD app and we had less than 300 users.

Trying to convince people of that seems to be a loosing battle.

That's funny a reddit mod being unreasonably banned by other mods. Reddit is just far left propaganda these days.

They should try mixing a bit of red with a bit of white. I managed that as a schoolkid.

It seems to be getting worse. I order something online. Get asked to confirm the purchase on my bank app. Log in to my bank website from my laptop as I am already there, enter my password. Then I get prompted to open my phone and enter th

Here in Spain it is still relatively common to make a bank transfer and show the receipt. Especially for anything government related. Stand in queue, talk to person. You need to pay 12 euros. Go to bank, pay, get receipt. Go back and stand

Indeed. I always need to look up the docs when I use Python regex, while in Perl it's so much more natural.

I switched from Perl to Python around 12 years ago. I do think the sigils make code a little faster to comprehend. A bare word in python can be anything, wheres a variable will always start with a '$' or '@'. It's n

Cherrypicking is exactly what both sides do. Every extreme weather event is now pointed at as "evidence". It would be nice to have both sides heard and debated instead of the hysteria led media we get. Look into Bjorn Lomborg. I h

Nice, Zapier is a pretty interesting solution but the pricing model is not.

The climate has always changed. Predicting the climate getting warmer when coming out of a mini ice age is hardly ground breaking. We were promised Manhattan would be underwater by now, that glaciers would be gone. https://nypost

Models. Prediction with no long term history of being correct. It's a doomsday cult. I would recommend going back to watch Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth and see how many of the catastrophic predictions have come true.

My last job was using MongoDB for what was essentially a relational application. It was every bit as as bad as I would have expected. Data consistency problems. Writing queries with a few joins were so much harder (though a lot of that was

Remote has become the norm here in Spain, but the salaries aren't anywhere near US salaries.

I used to think that, but once you start thing about them in the right way, the relational model is pretty nice.

How can people ever learn new languages if they are expected to only work on languages that they know? There are loads of systems out there using multiple languages. I agree why is more important than what. But sometimes you run into some s

That code isn't WTF. Its completely obvious what it is doing, and the comment is unnecessary.

Get yourself over to reddit, the best debaters ion the world. Appeal to authority almost every time.

Likewise if I am using some advanced feature of the language / framework, I think it's worth a comment.

by collyw 4y ago
A lot of code is WTF enough that a comment explaining what it is attempting to do might be helpful. The real world is full of absolutely shit code, but it still earns the company money.
