Don't see the top comments mentioning that, so I will chip in: I always, whenever possible, try to reproduce the bug in tests first, before launching debugger / adding some statements, etc. Being able to quickly reproduce the bug

It's probably just that more people have heard of reddit and can easier relate to rather than 4chan. Although it's probably unfair - I am using reddit for a few years and they have tons of amazing communities and le reddit army (s

Yes, I am from a different decade. I am still running things inside plain simple virtual machines, not containers, and using MySQL at day job. I am totally not a cool kid.

HTML caching at nginx level would do the trick as well, assuming you have enough bandwidth.

Thanks to this, I hope people will consider the way too common deployment approach when during the build time you pull stuff from npm (or whatever external package manager/repository), and if it fails, the build fails. This is fine for

No, he's just careful and professional. Pulling packages from npm on every build in relying on it seems like fine for a little startup that no one would actually care if it went down for a day or two. That's fine. But there are pl

I've also seen this confused with folks who are just learning their first language and = is a common assignment operator in typical 'first languages' these days.

In the ideal world, you probably should have enough redundancy in terms of human resources so that one person leaving is just slightly inconvenient. Also, as an employer, you should be realistic that it's just a job to most of the peop

This is very very true, very often when it comes to more than a gigabyte of data or more then a hundred of queries a second. Quite a few inexperienced devs suddenly think it's big data they've been reading about and FINALLY they c

When I see tons of similar projects pop up in a short time period (such as chat applications recently), I am feeling kind of divided. On one hand, it's cool, someone spent their time and actually shipped something. That's great, r

I can totally see genuine reasons for that. Feed is a huge part of the product, and you want to control that (which means controlling UX). You don't want to let things go out of hand. Some of us feel like, well, we can control it ourse

Typical MySQL replication works when slave is listening to changes on master's binlog. Which, essentially, is a log of all operations performed on the dataset. I did some quick googling and apparently it can be accessed quite easily:

I think another reason is a fear of starting an endless argument with the candidate, when candidate believes he was actually right and the company made the decision already so it's rather pointless. Not sure how likely is it happen tho

Of course you will miss some good candidates and it's unfair to them. But as soham explained, it's a trade off. You might miss the best candidate, but you will probably find the second or third best candidate spending significantl
