I haven’t had time to even look but etcd is on my list. It is a distributed key/value for node configuration (I think!) The reason why I want to learn more about it is I feel it is like a base building block of distributed systems and

Whats the economics of burning it as fuel on site to generate power. Sounds bad but might be better than landfilling it and letting off methane.

A tree captures CO2 so, of course, but tangental.

It would require both treaties and some way this company can be the preferred supplier (maybe a 10 year contract to operate).

Queue is fine but my experience is small company’s anyway hate them. A queue self manages, so how do you micromanage! Sprints are an editable queue I guess but even waiting 2 weeks is too much for the nanomanagers.

You want some experienced people with runtime platform knowledge in the team. For example async and thread semantics, common failure cases, best ways to do typing etc.

We are 1-2 years from chatgpt being able to fool interviewers. I mean speed, latency, audio generation and processing. Just connect your camera to the AI you and get your smart double to take the interview. “Are you a bot” is going to be a

As a C#er who was interested in switching to rails: rails jobs pay less. And the kind of companies using it seem to be ones falling apart at the seams and interviewing was frustrating compared to C# jobs. I am not saying Rails is bad but mo

Most companies to stay small but we hear about the big ones. Having armies of people probably does help then I imagine most of the time, unless you got that team of 10x ers (where the 10x is commutative) making an architecture that needs li

I dream of a graduation speech where someone says all of this stuff, or even a proper uni course “avoiding corporate bullshit in a narcissistic world and how to sue your landlord” … except the donors wont like this!

There are not many options. Headcount might help (secondment, overtime, contractors, move from another team, new hire) or pushing other work back (or cancelling it, reducing scope) or saying no (find a workaround, go without it). I might of

I hope from the comments people seek higher wages for their worth - if everyone did this it would create a force pushing up dev salaries. The tech profits can more than handle this and smaller shops would have to stop doing inefficient stuf

UK has a national grid serving 67m people! That should be how it is done. I think they might own the last mile. I think Australia might be the same or at least per state. They do own the last mile, AusGrid comes and repairs power poles and

Edit: stagflation is the wrong word I think as that means high unemployment. I wouldn’t say that is the case, just suppressed wages.

Outsiders have the disadvantage of needing a visa but the advantage of a $2k excess (the cost of the return flight) for unlimited chronic condition management. Obviously ER is different as you can’t go home quickly. Once you return home you

This is what rest of the world looks like USA people! Developers are generally paid enough to get by but not crazy salaries. There are exceptions but required you to get through tough interviews. No $200k TC interns out here. It means picki

The first run with the IDE is like completing a level of a game the first time. The second time it will be quicker. I agree we can expand thinking to “thinking with help from tools”.

Good enough. The comparison is silly though: time series data is not anything like tokenized text data.

Any site that I need to use that seems to be broken because of ad blocking. The site may not have ads but just JS that got blocked that it actually needed. It is quite rare.

Hold on! It is hard for me (not in US) to get a walk in appointment when actually sick. And they will have reception staff that wont take BS, so what is the play? Is it literally lobby at closing time and catch them on the way to the car?
