IMHO learning to code is quite similar to learning enough of a foreign language to be able to explain to a tourist how to get from point A to point B. Turn left, keep walking until you see the yellow building, then go right, etc. We just in

Exactly the reason why we've started setting up remote (in-house) servers for devs - for the cost of the latest MBP you can buy a server machine with tons of ram that will run all you services super smooth with any old laptop that can

Individual personalities probably also play a big role here, how introvert/extrovert you are, and how much other social interactions do you have. Working from home can be lonely so virtual social interactions might be of higher importa

Going outside is great if you own a yard, but it's totally doable inside too. One doesn't really need a lot of tech to grow vegetables indoor, some hydroponic systems like Kratky method require just a minimal initial effort and ze

Is this the same as the old freeciv.org's web version before it was shut down, or there's also some new development happening?

I think the text is missing a main point why people feel the fatigue. Problem are not tools themselves or any fetish around them, problem is making choices of which ones to use for which job. It's stressful and time consuming and requi

IMHO this applies to any craft. It's a level of skill and thinking put into building something that makes it "a piece of art", whether it's well written code or a well crafted piece of furniture - And appreciating a job

But it doesn't instantly flip the decision in a way that can oscillate, it recognizes the similarity in specific positions where humans would also recognize it, and doesn't recognize anything in between (again the same as humans w

AFAIK there's no way of objectively determining the value of anything. Are prices of houses in SF "reflecting their inherent quality" compared to houses in other parts of US? Or is the value of t-shirt with some brand logo st

Does anyone know why is Tolstoy's name usually in English anglicized as Leo? I know it's customary to do for Pope and kings, but I don't know of any other writer. Fyodor Dostoyevsky is Fyodor, not Theodore or Fred or whatever

What is the probability distribution that startup X will succeed? I'm genuinely asking, I'd love to know how would you approach estimating something like that?

Thing is that in Germany there are parts of highways without any speed limits, so OP probably wasn't breaking any laws nor it's "a massively luxurious thing" to speed test your car there (other than owning the car obviou

Redesign is not just about visuals. If you change a few gradients/hues and add/remove rounded corners depending on the latest web fashion, then definitely you're wasting time and money - unfortunately, that's very common

For me it's OK to use i,j,k as loop counters, a and b for sorting algorithms, e for events or exceptions, and x,y,z for coordinates or in simple math operations. Everything beyond that is really out of "everyone is doing it"

It's not about us, UV light destroys almost all types of plastic materials, and affects color of wood and fabrics - so without glass UV filtering our furniture, floors and pretty much everything else inside our houses and cars that is

IMHO short is OK as long as the name makes sense and is easy to connect to the real meaning. For instance "msg" is perfectly valid name for a message var, and even "m" in some short snippet of code is obvious, but callin

20mm was a pretty popular caliber for AA guns, and you can often find them in the ground around the cities and military bases in Europe that have been heavily bombarded in WWII. In Europe it's a lot of fun to play with metal detectors

They talk about dichloramine and trichloramine which are the products of chlorine reaction with ammonia, but also any amino acid - which means it can come as well from reactions with any part of our body it gets in contact with, like almost

For me algorithm is simply an explanation/strategy of a list of steps needed to implement some logic and/or solve some problem. IMO it can even be a paper with IKEA instructions how to assemble a desk. Might not seem so, but if yo

While these are really just boilerplate snippets for some common layouts, you can easily have an actual algorithm for CSS, too. For instance complex recipes/tricks for selecting just some of the nodes using different combinations of n-

But blaming politicians, the government and companies is the way to request responsibility, isn't it? Without the political pressure you can request whatever you like, but to a little effect. And as outsourcing work like this is totall

It's possible, especially if you look primarily at the enterprise market. From where I stand (startups, SMEs) it seems like a lot of people moved from Angular 1.x directly to Vue, skipping Angular 2+ versions. I haven't been offer

There was indeed a moment few years ago when front-end frameworks/libs were changing at warp speed, but last year or so I think the situation crystalized a lot. You now have React and Vue as major players and Angular competing for the

You simply trade back-end frameworks complexities for the front-end framework complexities. With the right architecture there is no huge difference IMO, just of course you also need to upgrade your teams so that they can handle a lot more t

I started with Delphi3, worked a lot in Delphi4, and then the version 5 came, but in meantime the web became THE THING, and Delphi didn't really find a fit in that new world of open-source tools and web apps instead of monolith desktop
