Other than multi-document transactions, many of the changes to MongoDB since 3.6 are to do with performance and scaling - this is AWS' bread and butter. Something to consider is how many applications depends on cutting edge database fe

I think a lot of Clojure developers have worked with gnarly codebases before, probably for the bulk of their careers. It's a common reason for using Clojure in personal projects, and seeking out Clojure work. There are numerous ways to

Outline.com also seems to do a reasonable job[1], though only directed at the inner frame, and the result is still fraught with borders. I found both the article and this little tangent into its markup interesting, however! [1]: http:&#x2F

The command line has the advantage of presenting portable, terse and editable instructions that can be cobbled together into a recipe which can be abstracted and automated. It's a very powerful interface.

Where I live, there are laws mandating the minimum distance a vehicle has to be from a cyclist when passing (1.5m) - this distance is not covered by the available clearance in the cycling lane. If you can't see a cyclist is in the lane

A variety of reasons; high switching costs, perhaps due to skills, education, or having limited financial freedom. The current job may confer benefits not available with alternative lower stress options (hours, proximity to family, etc). Pe

Have you been in the position to hire many folks for startups? Could you share a bit more about why, in your experience, this is something to prioritize with your first engineer?

Animation Shop, PSP's sibling application for creating animations, is something I still keep on a VM for making highly customized gifs - timing for frames, pixel modification, compression, etc. Corel had made it available via Jasc&#x27

Glad to see other people also find it annoying. I went searching to see if someone had written about the phenomenon last year, but eventually concluded I was probably mad. Thanks!

In retrospect, that sounded sassier than I intended, mea culpa.

If you can dismantle and replace desktop and server components, a few size and configuration differences shouldn’t pose a challenge. Not much more than an expensive LEGO project, but with significantly fewer parts and usually more available

True, but that's assuming inputs go to a hash rather than something more robust like a probability function.

Agreed; I guess many of us will have a blind spot when it comes to recognizing our own minds aging, and our memories accreting into a golden history. Seems to be a part of the human condition. Time's arrow moves in one direction, the p

Agreed, and I would not claim it makes no difference, just that it eliminates only one category of brittleness from a project. Others — poor testing, over-coupling, external dependencies, and the broad category of anti-patterns — are still

Just to clarify, I'm using trivial here in the technical sense. YMMV on what counts as trivial to you, of course, after three days straight tearing your hair out!
