Yeah locust is great - used it for fairly complex loadtesting of a blockchain and enjoyed it. Gatling is another good one if you like Scala.

I've not worked on a desktop app in a while but when I did, maybe 4 years ago, I found a lot of resources googling "MVVM C#" and following tutorials there. Microsoft tends to have a lot of decent tutorials on WPF Gui developm

The pay might not be at FAANG levels but they're still not badly paid roles & tokens instead of stocks means your share allocation is liquid which is nice. FWIW, I'm in Palo Alto working for an Eastern European startup and not

Access to the global talent pool and no costs on offices? Sounds pretty good to me!

I'm not 100% certain about this, but my initial thoughts are that low socio-economic backgrounds will have less medical treatment (especially preventative) so issues aren't caught as quickly meaning you'll have more health is

I used to work at IOHK which built the Cardano blockchain in Haskell (and even a bit of Agda in there too). It's cool to work with, features like liquid haskell have ruined most languages for me, but it's a real PITA when it comes

Is that true? Are there metrics of how many attacks are completed on an SMB that does and does not have crypto? And how is it known that those with crypto are suddenly easier targets than those without it? Edit: For the downvotes, if this i

But there are very few software projects that have this level of rigor that I'm aware of, right? I've not heard of a project where a software engineer has had to sign off on it like a civil engineer signs off a bridge. Maybe they

On a side note I saw Renaissance Technologies still hire "Computer Programmers" which I thought was pretty nostalgic. They also are hiring System Administrators and Network Technicians. No fluff at one of the highest paying firms

I believe the real core part of being a licensed engineer is you can be personally liable for mistakes in plans you sign off on, and to be able to do this you need to take exams and complete training showing you're capable of doing thi

You can become a chartered engineer with a background in software engineering so it is a 'real flavor' of Professional Engineering. I'm studying for the CSQE which is a Certification on Software Quality Engineering from the s

I’d wager a good portion of my salary that a skilled BCHS developer is slower than a skilled Django/RoR developer to build a usual web app (with auth, payment gateways, admin panels, etc). Not to say BCHS doesn’t look like a laugh to u

I found it pretty funny to sit outside with five virtual monitors and my macbook but I'm aware I looked like a twit. I haven't seen the co-working bit yet!

Is anyone using this for anything? I'd love to know!

Sandberg and Ord are based at the same institute as Bostrom who popularized the Great Filter, if that has any effect on your opinion of the piece. They tend to work on pretty wacky things mind you, I had a discussion with Sandberg on whole

I looked at uLisp for writing a flight computer for a small rocket at uni dealing with input sensor data - it was fun but ended up being too large for the chip we were using and I had to go down to C. I'm taking an embedded engineering

Or Agda where you basically have to use emacs with the agda extension to get all the characters. Less than or equal ends up looking like: data _≤_ : ℕ → ℕ → Set where z≤n : {n : ℕ} → zero ≤ n s≤s : {n m : ℕ} → n ≤ m → suc n ≤ suc m

An excel spreadsheet would require an entire computer! This just requires household objects. And a calculator includes so many unnecessary features like division, it’s a lot of scope creep.

It's a combination of both. You're weighing up the time to build the right thing for yourself vs picking something up from the shelf. Specifically you have to factor in: 1) Is the project built correctly 2) Is it the correct proje

This just helps my point, I believe. Someone is going to google how to import fake data, find the npm repo with loads of downloads, import it, read a stackoverflow issue on how to use it, and not understand why it's broken for a while
