Thanks for the response! Did you end up using that patent in any product? What did happen to it?

Is it really though? I've tried out Exceptions in most languages and Go's error handling stuck out to me as the first one that is clear what it does, which of course is the mantra of the language.

Writing infrastructure code is a pain because it's so much more than everyone think it is. I think this article puts it well and hopefully makes it easier for folks to explain it to their team/boss. There's many single-devops

Really though, if you can't master the tools, maybe you should avoid them.

Code that defines what your servers/services are, what they should contain, where they should be put, how they should interact. E.g. a simple plan in Terraform gives you the possibility to say how many of what instances should be up in

Being struck by this a couple of times myself, if one component changes too much you end up with a large piece of code that has too much responsibility, never gets rewritten(because it takes too much time) and is bug prone because each comm

Electrical design seems to have a lot of dead ends where we can't go any further. Does anyone have any insights as to what the current status is for transistors based on light? I would like to start with chip design (did microchip prog

This has happened with Swish a couple of times. It's no different than a VISA or MasterCard debit though. It's a good case for e-krona which I'm looking forward too.

There will always be other solutions at hand, these guys are doing something about it: https://www.revolut.com Same as swish but no need for Swedish banks nor BankID. I use Swish extensively because it works for giving kids cash

We use a lot of new Thinkpad at work, it blows HP/Dell out of the water regarding getting stuff done. (Also great on-site support.) Soon it's the only laptop model used. Also I guess it works on the Yoga series which is a good con

Quotas is not recommended, but playing games up to 1.5h each day is positive, anything beyond that is contra productive. Being involved changes a lot, making agreements, talk about feelings and evaluating. So like you would with any activit

The world is boring. I mean, doing anything requires quite the effort if you are not doing it with the correct tooling. Games helps out with that alot acting both teacher and timespender. Everyone is attached to a screen, it's not just

How do you mean? There's a bug where the screen size inside the VM is not updated properly due to small allocation of VMEM for the graphics. It's a one line fix :)

It takes a special mind to delve into such topics. This will and has been the case. Those that understands it becomes responsible to inform other of which settings they should have. While not needing to explaining why. That should apply to

I guess you can't talk for everybody (which happens a lot in the comments for what I've seen, HN does this, HN does that). The commenters here may be very biased though. To be clear this article seems to refer to SF workers, but I

Well that depends doesn't it. If you got skill and motivation to choose between gigs, that's fine, you'll most likely just start your own if you don't find anything fitting. Those you hear alot about. Succeeding is not e

Spirituality (to generalize), is what makes me tick in a sound way every day. As a creative soul it's always a little bit destructive every day to work on bits and bytes, if I loose sight on the bigger picture. The common job is bit ro

Back then we were relying on tales told from grandparents, or for that matter trades learnt from parents, it seems now that much i dissolved by mega industries or common databases/search indexes. Like we used to remember phone numbers

My experience is that learning dvorak when you can touch type qwerty is pain since every key you are looking for will be hidden under your other hand. If I were to issue a recommendation to someone in my situation back then I would say: Use

I have never (luckily) had any problems with RSI, but have taken the time to learn layouts which hide special keys under the home row, accesible with combination of the Alt gr key. Have you had any experience with that and how it impacts on

It's also a great party trick. I once lent my computer to my daugther and her buddy, it was kind weird for them that no keys matched up, but even weirder when I showed them I could easily switch between the two. They were so sure I wou

Time is not wasted if you enjoy wasting it. The life part can be dull for some as well. If all your work time is lost time, it's time to change routines or perspective, don't be satisfied with less.

It's quite funny how many IT persons I face when dancing (in my case Argentine Tango). But I start to believe that it's because it gives you another dimension/mindfulness of life than putting bits in the right order does, but

Forgetting is a double edged sword, but one needed for us to live in the present. Living in the future or the past is what really opens up for hatred and fear. Unless something acts as a reminder how bad it really was, it will become fairy

There's really no point in climbing over 60k/y in Sweden since you start to pay upwards 50% tax on that. Perks are also taxed, so better condition/more vacation is better way of "raising" the salary. https:/&#

But the benefits are great! Seriously though, most swedes are very forgiving about others world views. As long as you sort your trash properly.
