Would you also tell him "you just need to work on your self esteem for massive benefits!!"? Sorry, but society doesn't work that way. which if he's correct, would probably improve his life to some extent. I would tel

Recently I see more and more articles and social media posts surprised about the current youth’s lack of a mental model how computers actually work. I assume this is due to smartphones and tablets not letting them experiment. Laptop hardwar

Couldn’t you just ask „what are you curious to learn?“ directly, instead of beating around the bush with awkward questions like „what would you rate yourself?“ that people have to „game“? It’s just another way of asking „what’s your biggest

Last weekend I finally removed windows from my private laptop, dual boot from my desktop and set up WSL on my work laptop at least. I thought that some things like games would stop working, but instead I had to install absolutely no drivers

The windows headers are so convoluted and huge that I just copy the necessary declarations into my own mini header. It’s a bit annoying at first but saves a lot of headache later.

What I wrote about is not GC. The other comments about reference counting also unfortunately completely miss the point I made. The code stays simple as nothing is happening in the background like a GC or macro abuse. For example you clearly

I think the desire for smart pointers comes from having many allocations of various lifetimes. In my opinion smart pointers are a band-aid at too low a level to solve this problem. In C++ this seems particularly attractive because it is ver

What you’re referring to is called nemawashi in Japan , literally “digging around the roots of a tree”. It’s formal business etiquette understood by all office workers. One shouldn’t blurt out ideas to an unprepared group, but spread the id

Psychologically speaking my knee jerk diagnosis would be that you have an ego problem. Some random guy out there does something that doesn’t have anything to do with you, but you feel “attacked” because it makes you question your own lifest

A dependency at a particular version vs. the latest version of that dependency. The latter relies on a „channel“ snapshotting all available dependencies at a particular version. This is considered to be a mistake in hindsight, hence flakes

What‘s boy‘s club about a woman deciding to sell pictures for an erotic, not even some hardcore porn, magazine? That would imply she was forced into it by men, rather than using her privilege of being born beautiful to make a ton of money

It's strange to me that people complain about some variety in CSV files while acting as if parquet was one specific file format that's set in stone. They can't even decide which features are core, and the file format has many

They tried to make this convenient with std::vector<bool> in C++, which turned out to be a bad idea in general. It should also be pointed out that storing those booleans as bits is not the only alternative. For a trivial example one c

Introducing another piece of software instead of using one you already use anyway introduces new failures. That’s hardly aesthetics. As a professional I’m allergic to statements like “you better start believing in X”. How can you even have

I’ve seen my share of programmers who showed off all-nighters and productive weekends, only to realize they compensate but not actually working productively their entire 40 hours, not even half. Programming is not a race, it’s a marathon.

The simple answer is that you need to ask yourself why somebody would pay for what you create. This leads to thinking about market demands, user experience, etc., and you will learn to argue from the customer’s and user’s POV. Then again yo
