We'd edit queries or add new HTTP endpoints. Some did a little more than query, maybe hit a cache or external service. There were a few shared helpers, not more than one layer deep though.

You're nitpicking the words. It's common to refer to the government of a country by the name of the country when talking about government actions.

I agree with the quote, but this was code that we did modify frequently. It was still ok. 1600 line func is bad, but 1600 line file, well that's what editor splits are for. A lot of app backends don't do much other than shoving st

Same reason spreadsheets are so powerful.

Oh, that looks like a disaster. Edit: I can't judge without trying, but that's my initial thought.

In one project, I had a new teammate ask me why almost our entire web backend is a single .js file mostly filled with SQL queries. He wanted to make it his personal project to refactor this into probably 20 different files, adding more laye

Did I miss somewhere in the article where the author says what the chosen alternative is to notebooks? "I'm also constantly exploring other options and having fun" makes it sound like there isn't one.

Idk how you'd use one for non-throwaway code. Not like a webserver can run a routine in a notebook.

Oh our main thing was Minecraft. Must be the longest running popular video game ever.

IG doesn't seem to have the equivalent. Events for instance, https://help.instagram.com/448430800019943 says "This feature is only available to professional accounts on Instagram." Just checked, I'm stil

I was the Minecraft server admin of my high school, csgo was big in college, I know how it is. Not referring to public matches like CoD. Just cause we were unaliving mobs and building stuff together doesn't mean we were socializing.

HS was 10 years ago, college was after. Since 7th grade, most kids had smartphones and were using them all hours of the day. Most people used Facebook, and by hs Minecraft was huge. What changed, aside from old games/platforms getting

Teens don't plan things this way. It's more like, a few are together somewhere, someone is coming late, and the group is a moving target.

I agree that a cellphone for call/text only is important. I had one too. If you need blue bubbles nowadays, fine, handmedown iPhone with parental controls will do that.

It depends on whether the laughter is about the game itself or some personal experience a friend has shared over VC. Cause the loudest room on our dorm floor was always the League+Melee room, and it wasn't cause they were sharing funny

Idk how to say this exactly, but one thing I've learned from playing online MP games is that people aren't socializing on them, they're just being antisocial as a group.

Regular dumb phones were useful then and are still useful, just for coordinating. Smartphone is a superset of a GameBoy Advance now. Literally kids in my school were emulating GBA on their iPhones. There are in-betweens nowadays like a smar

Moderately, or at least, not socially dead. Only played video games on weekends, including a Minecraft server with friends, which in hindsight still became a bit of an addiction I would've been better without. I was popular in college,

No. No I don't think I will.

It worked when I was a teen (not very long ago) and nearly everyone else had smartphones. I think the people who consider it social suicide are unconvinced that smartphones are a problem to begin with, which like I said is fine if they want

by hot_gril 2y ago
It's not social suicide for a kid or teen not to have a smartphone (or to limit usage), so it's solvable individually.

Phone ear speakers are quieter than they used to be, so if the other person isn't talking clearly into the mic, you can't crank it up. I switched from a flip phone to an iPhone in 2013, huge difference. I had to immediately switch

The article is really about how ransomware gangs are threatening to leak victims' data, with speculation about how they could theoretically escalate to violence.

Plenty of people (actually small fractions of the US) have personal interest there.

Is invading a country to maintain a gas monopoly not bullying? It seems far-fetched that this is their entire reason, though.

Well that's the problem. Part of why Python is nice for ML stuff is because it was adopted for several other purposes too. I've never used Julia but have used niche things like Erlang, and there's always more friction that wa

I'm used to Postgres, which doesn't have clustered key. If this is MySQL and you're using a clustered key, pkey is still how you'd identify rows in foreign keys etc, so I think the same advice of bigserial pkey applies.

If you mean to encrypt your internal IDs when sending to clients and decrypt when receiving, it'd work. I've never seen it done this way, maybe because with standard 2048-bit RSA you get a 2048-bit output at least, which would blo
