Yeah I've seen some pretty sneaky candidates try that on their resumes. They aggregate the RPS for all the instances of their services even though they don't share any dependencies nor infrastructure. They're just independent

SML has never been used in any of the jobs I've had. I definitely have a very functional programming bend to my preferences. The closest I've come to doing something like SML for work is to use Clojure.

Does anyone here know how Standard ML inferred types? I really loved coding in SML and its strongly type checking system. The amount of bugs I produced was noticeably less. What I'm wondering is why we can't use a similar system a

Anyone know if modern military aircraft have something similar? I imagine it would be even cheaper and easier to do these days given the processors and cameras we now have. Seems like a good backup to have.

It's quite a bit more subtle than that. News organization have their sources that are in the intelligence community. They use each other. Sometimes the journalist wants to use their sources for information. Other times their sources fe

I really love it when stores put the per unit price on their labels (at least they do in California), i.e. $2 per ounce. It would be neat if they can also add a historical graph of those prices to the label.

Rather than argue about this, perhaps it may be better to see if you can get your son to be interested in practicing calligraphy, where the whole point of the exercise is to write in beautiful way. Otherwise, you're trying to win an ar

When the USSR was around, especially near the end, China was actually a quasi-ally of the US. We sold military hardware to them until the Tiananmen Square massacre. We wanted them as a way to counter balance the USSR. Investing in China and

100% this. Respecting user privacy makes any sort of malicious propaganda campaigns that much harder -- be it CCP, Russia, US, or private entities. Otherwise we end up just playing whack-a-mole and usually after the fact.

Wait. No. The OED is descriptive of English (UK only?) but is not prescriptive. They don't tell people what to spell or what they need to mean. They describe the spelling and meaning as it is being done. This is why there are new words

Totally. Our company mitigates it by assigning a specific desk to you if you come in often enough.

Sorry, I think I used the wrong term. The desks we have are basically not assigned anyone permanently and are available as long as someone else hasn't reserved it for the day. I don't mean literal desks that they have at hotels. T

In general, the Executor or even Queue abstractions are much better and safer ways of doing multithreading and multiprocessing. These days, I rarely ever directly create threads. It's fine for situations when you must but parallelizing

Yeah. I was really surprised to see this as a feature to be used rather than a gotcha. I've seen it more as gotchas, as in actual bugs introduced because of this behavior, and never as a feature until now. I can see why he thinks it&#x

Saying that GDPR is not needed because Keycloak is self-hosted is just outright wrong, which makes me wonder if the creators understands GDPR and how valid their claims to support GDPR is.

As I've progressed in my career, I find this to be more and more true. I would say most days I spend only 50% or less of my time writing code. Even when I do write code, the volume isn't huge. The challenges for me these days is i
