It affects you a lot less once you realize that nothing of that pictures a real, complete story of those peoples' lives, but just a cherry picked show-off moments and emotional venting...

I've always seen that my job as a lead, among other things, is to act as a buffer in communication between my team and "the business". One big thing is my devs not having to attend most of the meetings - I go there for them,

> Having only usable binaries in the path aids discoverability of the system. Downside is it stops the autocomplete, so if you, say, wish to check quickly how binary is called on the system, e.g. if you should sudo apache2 or httpd, it w

VB was basically the MS response to Borland's Delphi, which had all this but better, plus Pascal was way more powerful and mature language than Basic. That said, both Delphi and VB (and VC++ to some extent) were IMHO far superior tools

Beside doing this, I like to first just move files to another dir (keeping the relative path) instead of deleting them. It's basically like a DIY recycle bin. If both paths are on the same disk moving files is a fast operation - and if

the obvious downside is that it's a lot of work and takes a lot more time... so it might be "the right way™" for some cases, but it's definitely not a rule of thumb...

I stroke such a deal by accident, clients informed me that due to budget cuts they can't afford my full-time services anymore, so rather than lowering my fees (never do that) or loosing the client, I offered them to hire me for 32h a w

Spinners are not just for loading the content, their main place IMHO is in web apps as a way to give user a feedback that their UI action resulted in some action that's currently still running (e.g. an api call in the background that t

9-5 jobs suffer from a lot of things all the time, it's sort of what managers already expect of employees, to be actually productive maybe 3-4 hours a day. Whether one is using the rest of time on water cooler politics, checking Instag

Depends on the manager and the type of work. When younger I was working as a part of junior admin team for big ISP. Every day we'd all get the roughly same amount of maintenance tasks to do - but since, unlike other guys, I was into pr

Opposite of the idea that it's built "for friends, and not for influencers". One post per week is how influencers operate in order to create a sustainable flow of repetitive visits, not ordinary people posting just for fun.

Depends a lot on how you define the "recent history" period and in what locations? Slavery existed on all continents (except Australia I think?) long before the expansion of Christians started. Antic Mediterranean had slaves. Scan

IMHO this is doing completely the opposite of the intended effect, because the concept is focused only on pleasing the content consumers, but it completely misses the point of what the content creators need and want out of it. And without c

You presume that one's time is free, which for many people, especially single moms, is simply not true. Time to spare is probably the single resource that they have the least of - so paying to save some time can mean a difference betwe

I actually like how Zoom can warn you that you're muted if you start talking, happens to me all the time. And that obviously wouldn't be possible without keeping the access to the mic. So the light being on is OK for me. However c

So why did they publish the text now then (other than obviously for self-promotion)? Why not finishing their research first, discussing with lawyers how not get sued, and contacting the company about it so that they can fix it or comment on

To me it seems that author's quarrel is not with the unit testing per se, but with the idea of the 100% unit test coverage. And I agree with that, coverage is as useless metric as the number of lines of code, its sole purpose is to mak

It's not just a legal action that a company has to think about. Getting caught into a case of someone dying or being hurt because your company wasn't prompt to assist police could be a huge PR screwup, even if there's no lega

Wouldn't it be better if federal government would open a service for handling all EDRs nation-wide, and then forward the legit ones to the IT companies as needed? It would simplify the verification, maybe scare some hackers away becaus

I totally can see myself regretting one day on dropping out of University. Not that I ever needed the degree really, but just for the feeling of closing what you've started. Same with sport, I was pretty good at some point, preparing f

The million dollars question here is, if they had a chance to go back and do things differently, would that make them have no regrets on their dying bed, or they'd just end up with a different set of regrets?

How do you define what a higher purpose is? Workaholics always think that they're doing something super important, no one would voluntarily invest there time into something they feel is utterly useless. What if one day they wake up wit

IMHO rule of the thumb is: If you can get away with simple random tokens, use that. If you can't (high-traffic distributed apps, microservices, serverless, etc.) JWT is probably the next easiest solution.

Whether you will have one or the other depends also a lot on the determination, preparedness and fire-power of the defenders. In Iraq majority was against Saddam and didn't really want to fight, while people in Ukraine cities seem to b

The two big issues with this approach is that emails can be significantly delayed sometimes, and/or can end up in the spam folder. If you can reliably avoid these two, you're golden.
