Yes! And deleting large amounts of code from a massive tightly-coupled monolith is a great way to learn that first-hand. I like to say that you learn a lot more from dealing with a legacy monolith than you do by implementing the latest clea

I really don't believe that - it does not match my experience at all. It's just that there are a lot of conflicting forces at play. It's taken my whole career to get better at balancing those forces, and it changes for each s

I think it's easy to conclude code coverage is not a proxy for useful tests. But the lack of any significant degree of code coverage does tell you something. And encountering zero code coverage is certainly a problem. So, there is a co

There used to be a hacked version of Windows 3.1 in the early '90s that fit on a 3.5" floppy (I think it was called Windows Lite), and it was extremely stripped down. The use case was that it could launch Write.exe ( https:/&

I use Lightroom on Windows and also Logic Pro X on Mac, and both save to my Synology. This post is terrifying me, because I don't know an easy way to validate that my Logic Pro audio projects are not corrupted on the NAS. With a photo

Do you know if there's an English translation?

I'm no English major but let me explain why it works for me. Firstly, there is a different tense between "was to remember" and "remembered". The former maintains the vantage point of now; we're not quite there,

We use PlantUML with markdown in our internal wiki. The pros are a) that you can understand the markdown on its own, b) we can diff changes to the diagrams, and c) the source code is very small. The main downside is people are more used to

Tuning is not just about pitch, it's about timbre, too. On top of that, the feel under the stick changes at different tensions. Most drums have a handful of pitches where they resonate the best (or to the player's taste). It'

I really like this! It has a wonderful balance of strength and warmth. Small question: the lower left part of the bowl on lower case b seems to get a bit thin. At least on my phone it almost looks like there is a missing pixel. Is this some

Yes, I coded in JScript happily for about 3 years. Even better, using Windows Scriptlets let me write dynamically-compiled COM components in JavaScript that I would call from the web pages. As a result, I could launch updates independently

>STEM just does not pay over the long term. Whaa? What's your definition of pay? Anyway, IMO no prodding needed - expose the child to a wide variety of things, and then help them find and nurture their passion.

I ran it too! A co-worker and I who were sys admins at a Canadian provincial ministry ran it on behalf of the ministry, because no one knew enough to tell us not to :) Also, what about RoboComm? That thing was incredible to me back then.
