I remember a lecturer at University asking the class if they went into CS because of the money. A few excited students raised their hands. He then proceeded to describe the difference in income of what a plumber makes in comparison to your

Cool. I wrote a gameboy emulator a few years ago now in Go ( https://github.com/djhworld/gomeboycolor ), it was a personal project that had a lot of highs but crippling lows. Very rewarding, but frustrating. I don't

The downside to Athena/PrestoDB is you need to get the data into an optimal format/file size to get the best performance (e.g. Parquet or other columnar format) This is fine for batch workloads where 'real time', i.e. la

Have been on Firefox for 5 or so months now, whenever they first released the beta version of Quantum. It's been fine, really can't fault it. I don't really think about it to be quite honest, it just works.

That was my initial thought too, but it seems too coincidental that when he loaded up fark.com again (at the start of the experiment) there was an ad for pet insurance, or something canine related and then on the first page there was the li

I've got an early 2015 MBP and had it for a few years now. Usually I buy a new laptop every 3-4 years and save money each month to put torwards it, but I can't help but think that as the next upgrade looms, do I really want to spe

Spring as a whole is pretty great, but due to its long history there's a lot of out of date information on the web out there, from the likes of mkyong and so on. Not a problem with the framework per se, but it does add an extra layer o

In my experience Spring Boot apps tend to start in around 5-7 seconds. It all depends on what your init logic is I guess.

> OVH aren't about to start selling books or buy supermarket chains? Quelle surprise. I think they're more talking about companies hosting on AWS, e.g. Amazon Video is a competitor to Netflix

This is my biggest gripe with RSS. Not the fault of the protocol, just the user experience. I mostly consume my feeds on the London Underground, so offline reading is perfect for that, but I tend to have to scroll through articles that are

The dock is cool but I wish they'd release like a "travel" version which could be just like a cable. When I travel and stay away from home with my Switch, sometimes I really yearn for the dock-to-TV functionality so I can pla

On the web UI they have a "Bin" option, which is sort of like the recycling bin on Windows. In the Bin folder, right clicking a file gives the option "delete forever"...whether that is actually the case or not I don&#x27

Forgive me if this sounds dumb, but if the image just contains the firmware + kernel + a light layer for managing processes, do this mean it doesn't include stuff like SSHD?

Jupyter doesn't support search as far as I can tell, so you can't tag and search for notes. Happy to be proven wrong though

I use Quiver for everything. However it does have its limits (Mac Only) and development has stalled. I've tried things like emacs with org-mode in the past but it just didn't click for me. I like the simplicity of the Quiver forma

AWS Lambda itself isn't vendor lock in. If you write your Lambda function to put the interaction between the AWS Lambda service at the surface level of your application (i.e. the entry/exit point), and then write your business log

I guess the problem for the older generation, especially here in the UK, is they were raised on imperial units and have never really gotten used to metric. Not saying that excuses it, but it could explain part of the reason why some people

Software engineering isn't a profession, there's no standardised way of demonstrating to an employer that you have the requisite skills they want. A CompSci degree/MSc/PhD is just a piece of paper that a lot of other peo
