This is a common sentiment but it is wrong. Making money is just one of the operational constraints that a company has to take into account. Companies exist to fulfil a purpose. That purpose is not just "make money". Steve Jobs fo

For a single server, SQLite, or boltdb[0] I've never had to scale horizontally. I develop in Go and you can get very far along with just vertical scaling (aka beefier hardware). Therefore I can't give concrete examples of a distri

Zero dependency is better. Your database does not need to be a separate process. It can just be a library embedded in your application. If your application is distributed across several physical servers, then your database can be as well.

I think this is not a useful or productive mindset. I mean the idea of "I spend hundreds of hours learning $TECH in order to get a job in it". If you learn it because it is interesting to you and you enjoy the process of learning

The GP comment was highlighting that 作戦 includes the character for "war". Now, in the case of "crusades", the word has very negative connotation in Arab/Muslims countries. So, when George Bush said the war on terror

Just like "Crusade" in modern usage has little (if at all) to do with physically fighting a religious war.

You're actually very wrong on this point at a very basic level. You can't be really good at something by focusing only on it. To be good at software design, you need to be good at understanding computers and people. You need to un

I was meta-commenting about other comments in this thread that imply the future of desktop is all containers and that this would be a good thing.

This is depressing actually. Instead of working to simplify the desktop, people are pouring energy into solutions that further complexity everything. I don't understand the comments on this thread that express excitement and enthusiasm

People mean that if you go back to the past knowing something you didn't know the first time around you would have the ability to make the "better" choice the second time around because of the new information.

Yea, Docker is crazy to me. I can never understand people who think it's awesome or something. It's awful. Of course, if you're doing somethign in Python/Ruby/Node.js then it's useful because these language d

I'm not leaving my job yet, but strongly thinking about doing it in the near future. The reason is simple: I am not employable. I mean that in a good way. I hate being an employee. I hate having to go by the rules that other people mak

Some programming ideas might be "good ideas" in the abstract sense. But in the context of "I want to have control over memory layout and CPU instructions" they impose unavoidable costs. If lambdas must be accompanied b

by hsn915 5y ago
The whole point of using C++ in 2018 is to have control over memory layout and CPU instructions emitted. If you think lambdas with GC are a good idea then you would not use C++. You would maybe use Go. > Compile times matter in extreme c

Ok but this does not only apply to fructose. It applies equally well to glucose and fat/oil. Anything in excess can had dire consequences, including a lot of vitamins and minerals. Even water in excess can be bad for you. When the mess

Fructos is plentiful in fruits which we must have been well adapted to consuming. I don't understand the argument against fructose. It seems to mainly "the liver has to work to digest it", but isn't that true of a lot of

I seem to be one of the minority of people for whome this post has resonated well. In my experience, code reviews are awful in the same way that micromanagement is awful. It's based on a lack of trust, first and foremost. It's als

This strikes me as weird excuse for code reviews. To spot quality problems before going to production .. what you need is testing. Not "unit testing" - which is just another pointless process that does not actually provide the pur

Books are published once, not through iterations. The equivalent in book writing would be that you are not allowed to write more than one page at a time, and someone must approve it before you start working on the next page.

You can't assume that. Part of being depressed is you don't even have the will to resist being treated in a way that you don't like. In fact, I'd say that feeling powerless against conditions that you don't like is
