NPM started off as a CouchDB app, and you used to be to keep a local mirror of the full repository by running a copy of CouchDB and setting up one-way replication (not sure if this is still possible).

If every tap generates a “[TIMESTAMP] $USER is on page X in book Y” event, then the there is no difference between recording tap events and syncing progress state in terms of what the client is reporting. The difference lies entirely in wha

I had to stop trying to listen to a couple books last year because they were too immersive to be safe driving accompaniments. I specifically seek out mediocre books to make driving bearable (my commute would drive me insane otherwise)

The big time advantage audiobooks have over the printed word is that can listen while doing something visual but relatively mindless (e.g., driving, cleaning, yard work, etc.).

I buy physical books whenever they're cheaper than the Kindle version. Publishers don't want to compete with remaindered or used physical books.

I always found that calorie counting is much easier if you primarily eat packaged and/or prepared foods. Popular apps and websites already know the nutritional info for what you're eating, so it can be as easy as searching by

They have classes and workshops for employees who want to get better at writing, but primarily they just expect you to get better with practice. I wrote a few one pagers every month as an engineer, and managers produced an order of magnitud

Yes, as mentioned above, we do use proprietary solutions where appropriate. However, all else being equal, I would prefer a managed but replicable service (e.g., MCS or Aurora MySQL) over a purely proprietary one , because deploying a re

I'm a civil servant, so I look at these questions with a different mindset. I consider adopting a proprietary service to be a decision that entails a fair amount of risk, as I would have no easy recourse should the service become compl

I would disagree with that characterization and would instead say that DynamoDB's lack of portability between vendors made it a non-optimal solution. The services I work on need to survive specific vendors going out of business.

Excited to see a managed open source offering with the same pricing paradigm as pay-per-request DynamoDB. I frequently encounter projects for which a Dynamo-style storage layer would be a natural fit, but often use RDS Postgres because I do

I really enjoy baking as a creative outlet because: - Projects are always short, ranging from ~30 minutes for really simple cookies to ~2 days when ingredients need to rest at an intermediate state for extended periods. - You have to work w

I would need to find data to back this up, but my sense is that much of the political difference can be accounted for with demographics. Tech workers as a group are younger than the population at large. Tautologically, the group excludes re

Evolution with the EWS plugin.

Evolution because it works with Exchange and integrates with Gnome notifications. Not a very modern UI, though.

Managers at Amazon are arguably under more competitive pressure than their reports; no one is going to fire their top performer for participating in a climate awareness march. It's far, far more likely that the "strike" will

Why would you like to avoid Go? It's pretty ergonomic for programmers with C experience and can compile a web app plus its dependencies into a standalone binary.

This doesn't really address the point you're replying to, which is that 75K would represent a high or mid-career salary in other fields. I think that's more than a tenured public high school teacher makes in San Francisco or

IIRC, Turbolinks work by loading pages in the background in response to a mouseover event - by the time a click has registered, the remote content has already been downloaded and just needs to be injected into the page. The speed-up comes f

You're supposed to use sick days to take care of a sick dependent, too. Most single parents I've worked with always take all their allocated sick days because they use them when they're sick or when they have to stay home wit

You can take an unpaid leave if you need more. If you have temporary disability insurance through work (and I would imagine most US software developers do), you can file a claim to compensate you for lost wages due to a medical condition.
