Having people like that also enables management to then set expectations based on the work of the outliers. If you aren't being abused then you aren't being a team player. The same way that "unlimited vacation" can easil

I'm sure I still have far to go, but currently when I see someone quote a time frame for a change I am more concerned when it is short vs. seems too long. Especially when the dev is questioned and the estimate doesn't include time

In order to implement ETS they already have to compromise the endpoint to make the TLS 1.3 implementation use static keys, right?

This bugs me as well. American Express kept sending me information about someone else's credit card. It took arguing with their customer service for about 20 minutes to get them to remove my email address from the account.

That's good language to look for. I didn't check closely enough and my mortgage documents stated that the loan issuer (my bank) would service the loan, but without any guarantee of how long. They sold the loan shortly after issuin

If you tar up backups, it is useful to change the permissions on the archive to read-only. It will prevent accidents like this.

I have noticed that the CD database in my car gets updated once in a while. A CD that it previously did not have track data for started being recognized at one point. It clearly doesn't fetch the data on demand based on observation, bu

If curl wasn't available the car companies would just implement something similar, poorly. They wouldn't open all their code just to use wget.

That's a grey area. It may still be considered to be a work made for hire and so the employer would own the copyright. https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ09.pdf

There's a good quote that I look at once in a while to remind myself to not be too smart. > Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by def

I use an Elecom HT1DR and like it quite a bit. It is their "huge" trackball and I have found it to be pretty comfortable in daily use. The only issue I have is that some of the extra buttons don't work on Linux with the curre

I will disagree with this. Clicking on the bar has been part of the interface for some subreddits for a while now (though not many). I find it quite nice because if you are reading a deep thread and want to collapse to the next N levels up,

This is one reason why I feel so satisfied when I can work on internal tools. If I build something for other people in the office I can get direct feedback and see how I have helped them.

It's not just about keeping potentially embarrassing things off social media. Everyone has biases. If you post something political, religious, etc. that really isn't controversial, that may still lead a potential employee who sees

This is the approach I try to take. It requires discipline but it has helped on several occasions. The biggest benefit is that it makes code reviews easier for others because the reviewer can step through each commit. This makes the refacto

To me refactoring doesn't need a whole book or set of terminology. So long as a person understands and values the principles the individual refactorings will come naturally with experience. In my view it comes down to three main points
