Which IDE? I'm using RubyMine (just because it's what I'm used to, and it works well with typescript anyway) and I'm not having that kind of issues.

I really like developing with Rails (with or without React, depending on how complex the UI needs to be). In a recent project, though, I had to use a Node.js backend for something where it was OK to choose a somewhat experimental tech stack

Is it possible that Russian bots will win this battle? The channel has most often exaggerated titles for its videos, but the content is good and never NSFW.

I'll admit that I wasn't talking about potential green-field sites not linked to rivers or existing reservoirs, as described in your link. How many of the sites they identified as viable with their algorithm would actually be econ

It's not more effective where you have the right conditions for pumped storage, but those conditions aren't very common around the world.

Nuclear strikes on N different capital cities aren't statistically independent events, and that kind of computation only makes sense for statistically independent events.

Our brains are great at generalizing. Seeing (and recognizing )the same pattern several times makes it much easier to spot it later. And I found out that this works even better if you focus on a specific pattern for some time, working your

Spaced repetitions for openings make a lot of sense, but in my experience they work better for tactics. I improved a lot with a hacked up solution combining puzzles and spaced repetitions, and then created a website to make it easier for an

My understanding is that "which means" only makes sense with the assumption that what is being studied is the laminar flow of an incompressible fluid (which was described as a fair assumption for air and a wing at subsonic speed).

I once found an explanation that finally made it clear to me why the shape of the airfoil can create lift. Yes, the air above the wing needs to travel a longer distance with the typical section used in wings, which means that it goes faster

Actually, it is quite true. Gravity is exercising on the airplane a force F equal to the weight of the plane, towards the ground. For the airplane to stay at the same height, air needs to exercise a force that is equal and opposite to tha

by danmaz74 3y ago
Both drag and lift depend on the speed of the airplane relative to the wind, not relative to the ground. So, if the maximum efficiency dictates that the airplane should travel at speed X relative to the wind , and the wind is flowing at sp

This is also the perfect example of survivorship bias: all the institutions which effectively solved a problem don't exist any more today, as they were shut down or repurposed and renamed.

But you don't need micro services for that. You can always split things when useful, the issue with microservices is the idea that you should split things also when not necessary.

> not rewarding, no intellectual challenge Don't forget that simple isn't easy . I find it very rewarding and intellectually stimulating to solve a problem with a solution which is as simple as possible - but no simpler.

Putin has pushing this lie that he tried to get closer to NATO and was rebuffed for a long time, but it's simply not true. His ideology has always been completely against being junior partner in a US led alliance.

This is if course highly subjective, but for all this investment in content I, as a consumer, seem to find less and less content I like. Maybe it's just because I'm not part of the demographics that Hollywood cares about any more,

Why did they even need to make the interview process so hostile? They could have made it perfectly normal and the say they found a better candidate, it's not like the applicant can appeal if he or she felt it had gone well...

I was thinking the same. It looks to me like a much safer process could be: * use some kind of deterministic transpilation that creates ugly code which for sure reproduces the same behaviors * add tests to cover all those behaviors * refact

As I remember the discourse about TDD, originally it was described as a testing practice, and later people started proposing to change the last D from "development" to "design".

by danmaz74 3y ago
I really liked the DDD book, but I think that many of the suggestions mostly apply to huge "do it all" enterprise applications, which are also not the best fit for Rails. So I think it's OK if you can't easily apply thos

I read that cuttlefish is actually able to perceive color even if they only have one kind of receptors on their retina. This is thanks to very oddly shaped pupils which focus different wavelenghts in different parts of the retina.

The problem with "SEO garbage" is that SEO is highly adaptive - whatever change Google does, SEO will almost immediately find a way to adapt and stay relevant. There is just too much money to be made for those involved.

Team size is probably the most important factor that should influence the choice about microservices. Unfortunately, there was a period when it looked like every project and every team had to adopt them or be declared a dinosaur.

Looking at big companies is a bad metric if you're not a big company - or at least a rich one. Startups and in general smaller companies need to be very efficient with their developers, because they can't get many. Big companies h
