Some tacit knowledge maybe is impossible to document, but in a lot of circles there is a distinct lack of ability by those who are skilled in some activity to describe how they do things. There is often a split between those who can execute

I haven't used this workflow but I imagine your concerns could be addressed. > addressing merge conflicts I actually think, from the pov of the change author, this workflow is better at this. Other code changes have to resolve confl

I knew a couple friends who worked at a startup. I was career changing at the time, and the company happened to have need of people to do very entry-level programming tasks. I had them put in a good word for me and got to interview for an i

Maybe it didn't land me a job on its own but it helped in the interview process. I wrote a limited Slay the Spire rules engine[0]. If I could do it again I wouldn't choose PHP, but my current job had an interview round where I wal

I never jaywalk but I have been nearly run over several times in crosswalks. People run red lights or don't check the crosswalk during unprotected lefts or rights on red all the time.

Did they have a narrow launch window they couldn't afford to miss? I'm not talking about missions where you eat a big monetary loss on the launchpad and try again, I mean missions which rely on planetary alignments that may not ha

Another relevant bit of info from hospital accidents: hand-offs between shifts are known to increase the risk of a mistake in care and are part of the reason nurses and doctors work such long hours.

One thing about long aerospace missions like this with huge lead times that always gets me - you can spend years of your life working on a mission, only for it all to fail with potentially years until you can try again. This is a refreshing

I tried telling it to speak slowly but it just kept rattling off at full speed while saying things like "I understand. I'll slow down. How is this for you?" Etc An unfortunately absent bit of accessibility that would really h

It's high time telemetry served users tbh. I would 100% opt-in to telemetry if it would tattle on badly made or misbehaving software.

Ignoring the education/socialization arguments, I'm surprised to see that no one has mentioned the ostensibly reduced risk of your homeschooled child becoming the victim of a school shooting. Go on and tell me how statistically th

I haven't worked with a huge amount of people, but about half of the devs I have worked with would be hard pressed to deploy an entire stack by themselves without a few weeks of study or some hand holding. Granted it's complex eno

I love Rust but it is accidentally in the position of trying to serve two disparate camps of people. Developers who just want a modern ML-ish language with good tooling and some actual lessons learned from PL theory, and developers who need

Really frustrating that instead of moving towards making city centers cheaper to live in and attract more local customers that way, municipal govts and corporations want to just force working-class people to waste time and money commuting o

Similar sentiment with Rust (love the ecosystem, and love the language, except for the many, many parts of it that I don't need). F# comes up a lot in discussions like this. From a thread a few days ago: https://news.ycombin

My assumption was that in a lot of cases, they just simply forgot/didn't bother documenting their process (including more than just prompts).

Versus C++? I have many gripes with Go but I'd choose Go over C++ for a lot of uncomplicated stuff like backend web services that just have to have "pretty good" performance. Faster than Python, slower than C++, but not by mu

In the past it has encouraged me to get out there and submit PRs for some low hanging fruit on projects I normally wouldn't interact with. I don't doubt that a lot of the PRs people make are garbage (especially in the past with th

To try and play devil's advocate: - They let users access a FAQ-like experience anywhere in your app. This is already easily done using tabs but it may help less technical users. - They often include a way of escalating to a real

My bold prediction is that as consoles become more and more architecturally similar to home computers and MS & Sony continue to port more titles to PC, we will eventually see a unification of sorts where games are by default available o

At my current day job we have many, many such "enums" that slowly expand over time. I've seen many bugs from new values not being taken into account in the several places one has to remember to double check. Sometimes testing

Isn't the F-35 VTOL capable anyway? Wouldn't it already be able to use most "big enough" paved surfaces to land and take off?

It's not the actual profitability of the move that's important, it's the motive. Enshittification comes from the ever-expanding _desire_ for profit. At some point the golden goose is killed to make next quarter's goals.

There's still a significant lag time before uncensored generative AI catches up with this. So gracious of OpenAI to keep porn artists employed a little longer with all their moralizing.

I wouldn't call constantly inventing new technology the only thing that qualifies as "engineering". It's about solving the problem under the given constraints. Sometimes that means evaluating existing solutions and deter

The example code would be less distracting if it at least attempted to stick to the pizza metaphor in a meaningful way and weren't subpar Go code. `prepare` is a horrible name for a function. I would expect a seasoned Gopher to call it

I had unrestricted access to the internet too from maybe age 10 or so, but it was a different time in the late 90s/early 2000s. Massive social networks, YouTube, etc were not much of a thing until I was in my mid teens. No smartphones,

Not a lawyer ofc, but I would not expect that line of reasoning to hold up in court as I wouldn't expect "the door was unlocked, your honor" to excuse trespassing.

Be aware that there is a performance impact compared to using zerolog directly [0] (my uneducated guess is it is likely due to pointer indirection). [0]: https://github.com/rs/zerolog/issues/571#issuecomment-1
