Yep, you got the quote! And I've even (narrowly) had more vote ups than down.

People who attend that many meetings do so because they lack confidence (perhaps rightly) that they can be productive/creative themselves, and so they hide in group activities. The claim that work-weeks like that are necessary / d

I would rather take up work on the farm shovelling pig shit, and administering anal suppositories to sick horses than do all that.

This is why people use Apple laptops. I’d be fine using Linux as my OS. But my employer issues my laptop and chooses the model. If serious non-Apple laptop manufacturers are still making crap like this, how do I know my employer won’t choos

Yes, for me, gmail spam getting into my inbox increased from zero to one or two per day a few weeks ago. It's very obvious; I'm sure the gmail team must know about it. I'd be curious to know whether they're planning on r

Thanks. I have to say, this sounds awful -- it sounds like it will be a huge time sink and an impediment to learning about areas of software engineering that transcend specific languages (say, service orchestration, distributed systems, sys

Yes. You were asking what use cases you were missing. The answer was people on slow networks.

> Avoid keeping types in TypeScript in sync with Rust. Out of curiosity, did you try auto-generating the typescript types from the Rust types?

Ok, sorry for saying "badly". I don't think you really addressed my point (2). Given your experience, I just don't see what you have against implementing some 20 line algorithms for people, if it's what they want, e

ok, so sounds like ukraine is in the subset of the world with fast internet, or at least your mum's town. But I don't see how that answers the question -- what about rural south america, rural africa?

You seem to be forgetting all the people in the world that are not on fast network connections. Genuine question: how did you manage to forget something so huge?

To some extent I sympathize with you: I'm older, have seen some rejections for posts I wanted that I would be a very good fit for, and have a strong public portfolio of work that doesn't seem to overcome minor shortcomings in algo

From a pedagogical point of view presenting that as a Bayesian model and then using the error model he does, is a bit questionable. But as always his python style is inspiring.

I agree with this. It's tangentially related to it being so standard to refer to every JSON HTTP API as a "REST" API. REST APIs (in the strict sense) are for public integrations (but how common is that really?) / other

This is wrong. Code review is not for "asking". It has many benefits that the author is missing: 1. Get extra eyes on a change. 2. Learn from your colleagues' thoughts on the work. Honestly, the most important ones may be 2.

Um, no. The article's argument, to the extent that there is one, is based on the claim that syntax highlighting natural language doesn't help. But code is not natural language. It is dominated by a small number of common keywords

What was implicit was the view that any "attempt to monetize" is hostile. Which, as I said, is something one associates with Linux hobbyists from the early 2000s.
