Having helped non-cs managers hire for technical roles, I feel your pain. Usually I start getting worn down around candidate 5-10 for in person interviews, and stop looking for colleague grade employees and more for "yeah, I could trai

If you're us, I hope you don't need to travel outside of cities much. That was my last phone, most newer built or refurbished towers rely on bands it can't support. I loved it until I moved to a smaller, newer city, and was c

I just want better control over the processor. I'd be happy with a modern processor, running at 10% clock speed and 50% voltage or less. I had a sony phone back in the early days of android where after rooting I could actually tune the

If you're interested in dev tools, I can't recommend eval villain enough. It only works on Firefox, but it helps a lot with identifying xss vulnerabilities. https://www.hurricanelabs.com/blog/making-easy-dom-x

See edit on my first post for clarification on the 24 day estimate. And by no testing, I meant the lack of PCR/RT-PCR assays. Which is specifically mentioned in the video around 1:20. Edit: WHO lab test guidelines if you're curiou

Apologies, I'm not sure if I misremembered, misattributed, or if that was an actual previous estimate from WHO. Everything I can find now seems to be around 14 days, with the Japanese govt using 16 as a lower bound for the cruise ship.

Today the cdc had a press conference announcing the quarantine release of 195 people who flew into the US from Wuhan, based on the assumption that being asymptomatic for 14 days is good enough [0]. Last I heard, WHO is calling the upper lim

For performance reasons as well. An overloaded == operator turns a simple ceq into a function call, involving a new stack frame push and pop. If you do this on a hot path, switching to (is null) and (is object) can provide a significant spe

Does anyone know of or can think of a use for (x is var y)? I'm assuming there must be, but I just can't figure it out.

by eyegor 7y ago
Yep, looking at the IL they are equivalent. And it definitely makes code prettier due to reduced parentheses. This is also true for generics. Doing (x != null), !(x is null), or (x is object) all become: ldloc.s ldnull cgt.un

The memory limitations can be partially kicked down the road by setting /largeaddressaware on devenv.exe. Ofc it's still beyond frustrating when you have a large solution with many component projects. I personally ram against the

You can achieve this through nuget.exe from your hidden /.nuget directory iirc.

by eyegor 7y ago
Heads up for C# devs, you should switch all your code bases to use (x is null) and !(x is null) instead of ==. The is operator can't be overloaded, and always compiles to IL eq, whereas == can be overloaded in custom types. Of course i

Even if Mozilla were to bundle ublock into the standard Firefox install, it probably wouldn't matter. As much as I love using it, its marketshare has been on a slow spiral for a while, down to 4-8% right now. I'm willing to bet a

Don't forget that Apple already has best in class low power performance/watt on their in house designs. One day they'll probably move all the Mac airs and such to A13 or newer.

As someone who regularly plays games from the 80s, I have to disagree. Unless you're playing a game from an iterative franchise where all are trying to achieve the same vision (sports, cod, simulator), older games absolutely can be com

Yes but most enterprise customers have reacted by buying more Intel chips, because the cost of migrating infrastructure is much greater. Once you're invested deep into the omni-path level interconnects and spend 100k+ on cables alone,

I'd advise taking some time to disconnect. Full disconnect from phone, tech, internet and just focus on something else. Music, art, exercise, hiking, etc. I went through some pretty rough anxiety when I was laid off for the first time,

I would specifically advise against developing a tech related hobby. In my experience, it just accelerates burn out. Something that forces you to be outside/unplugged is ideal imo.
