You can change where to put the prints if they do change the behavior (which incidentally also helps in understanding what's happening). You can print only if a condition happens, or only before/after critical sections, or print c

Not necessarily. I know very well how to use a debugger, but nowadays I just prefer to use prints: it forces to you actually think about what's happening instead of just looking at it. It's also more useful in situations where put

After having developed in an environment where I couldn't use a debugger (kernel drivers) I actually think that debugging with prints is better than a debugger most of the time, as it forces you to think about the code and where the fa

I think everyone here is better off by not drawing broad conclusions about behavior based on anecdotes. I am sure that a lot of people born in the 50s and 60s would have called the police in the same situation you describe. > No, I am s

The point of the article is not to manually resolve all function calls. Understanding the algorithm allows you to see why a compiler sometimes doesn't choose the function you want and fix it.

Network code tends to be performance critical, so the more you can fit into a cache line the better. Exact numbers depend on the application, of course, but those memory overheads can give you a very serious performance hit in cache-heavy a

It's not a remark, it's an expectation. Imagine if you had blond hair and someone said "Oh, I did not expect an engineer to be blond". It's like they are saying "the stereotypes say you shouldn't be smart&

The key is in "expected". Why did someone expect another person to be of a certain color? Note that the person in question is named Benjamin Cruz, and has a skin tone more or less consistent with their name [1], and not especially

by gjulianm 6y ago
If the contractors who do full time work are paid by a placement agency to be a full-time employee, that's possibly fraud... In the case of Uber, it's very clear that the contractors work for Uber, as it's Uber the one that s

What's wrong is that Deliveroo is making a profit while exploiting workers, who work for them but don't have worker protections. Other delivery companies do have employees with standard benefits (Just Eat in Spain IIRC) and they p

Not at all. They don't control your rates, they don't stop you from getting jobs if you reject a lot, they don't set any quality minimums for your job, and they don't remove you if someone doesn't give you five star

But most contractors don't work all day long, all days for the same client though. That's the point.

You're confusing the situation. Uber acts as an intermediary party between the contractor and the client (the passenger), so you should compare it to platforms for contract work, such as Upwork, or fiverr, or something like that. The p

Usually around 12-1 AM now. But the time doesn't matter, it has happened when I went to sleep earlier (say 10-11pm). The issue is the oversleeping, and I haven't found anything to actually fix it other than alarms. Even light does

Honestly, I don't really know why this article is focused on the alarm clock instead of in getting the necessary sleep. I need an alarm clock because if I don't have it, I enter a loop of "sleep until late - go to sleep late
