Yep, we just had this happen with a newer staff member. When we contacted the primary maintainer of the regressed system, they replied “you need to overwrite XYZ binary/config files using the backup build from ABC machine after patchin

Many of the people at my work easily spend that time on calls once they get higher than lead engineer on the org chart… most days but not every single day, and definitely not on video. I assumed that would be pretty standard for remote pe

I’m floored by this. We have a sr engineer who conducted an initial technical screen and swore he saw this happening, the person on screen moving his mouth while someone else talked and wrote the code. My managers recounted this story to me

Right out of the Rockefeller playbook. I thought we had a consensus on this matter a century ago.

The US government may be complicit in the dynamics of Pakistan’s government, so I’m not sure they are working under any directives to help asylum seeking muckrakers: https://youtu.be/3jFNJtjm-wI

I would be willing to bet that some OS knowledge comes in very handy for almost anyone who writes software than runs on an OS. I’m sure it’s more important for the 3D graphics programmer to understand the execution environment within the co

Probably not “unsolvable” but I imagine not well documented and a million footguns to make RN work in the scenarios described in the article. This would entail working in a new fork of React Native to add implementations for the underlying

I can’t tell if Reddit was actually better when I started using it ~10 years ago, or if I was just more entertained by the novelty of it. It still does have the important distinction from true “social media” sites that are based around who

Well, now that does seem pretty misleading on Kerrygold’s part. Very similar to the “from Italy” essentially meaning “spent a nonzero amount of time within Italy’s borders” in some cases, as the author called out. Likewise Kerrygold’s cows

I see, we are referring to an internal mechanism for the vendor to try multiple routes to meet the customer ask - this makes more sense, but I could see a lot of traditional enterprise customers being hesitant to buy in if they were made aw

From what I understood, they are talking about the author’s complaint that he doesn’t get to spend 100% of his workday coding/testing/documenting. That doesn’t necessarily mean that the companies were poorly run - larger enterpri

The commenter you’re responding to is specifically referring to “.NET Core” which has nothing to do with IIS or “.NET framework”, the latter are components of The older Windows Server stack whereas the former is a genuinely cross-platform d

Must have been some lack of research or expertise on that person’s team, or some obscure linux distro. You can compile with the platform/arch specific flags to get a regular linux exe that doesn’t require the .NET runtime to even be in

How would that play out? Company B lobbies Washington to legislate/prosecute frivolous lawsuits like those brought by Company A against its competitors? Seems to me any resources B can muster for such an endeavor would be dwarfed by A’

Is Tiktok worse than FB because of the way the platform is designed, or because of the way people are using it (trends etc), or something I’m not seeing?

Clearly they are not questioning the ingenuity of the authors of the source code, that seems like an attempt to misrepresent their position. In fact, they are directly calling out the "transaction privacy" component as a net neg

Perhaps I have missed the point, then. I see the same magnitude of departure of Razor from pure C#, QML from pure Qt C++, and JSX from pure DOM JS. All of the above move the developer from procedural native code, to declarative markup. If

By this logic, what could ever be considered "huge" departure? Any new language construct "converts" to something lower level unless that language is a set of assembly instructions. I mean, Elm converts to vanilla JS but
