It doesn’t need to be one or the other. Just because trade schools are good doesn’t mean we should ignore the needs of everyone who wants a 4 year degree or has a mountain of student loan debt.

Maybe I'm at a disadvantage for doing this, but technologies are really only a minor detail of my resume. I focused it mostly on the things I actually did. My assumption was that this would be more important to people beyond the HR&#x2

I don't think it's just that. Part of it is just that some technologies are more fun or nice to use even if they're less practical. QoL and keeping things interesting is going to be more valuable for a typical employee than d

This is really cool. I had the good luck of having 2 really great math teachers in high school, and seemingly little things like this can really have a lasting impact. One of them taught me both computer science and statistics, and did an a

I can sort of understand that sentiment from Android users. They tend to value control/customization. I've tried Android several times for this reason, because it is compelling. I've always gone back to iOS though, and it&#x2

The query syntax isn't just pretty. It's simple enough non-technical users can actually use it with very little training.

It really isn't just an optimization, though. I actually work at a relatively small team (< 10 developers) and we're having a lot of success with GraphQL. For a variety of reasons we ended up moving to a microservices approach,

You could do pretty much any of the things you describe, actually. Auth is really not straightforward at all though, they could definitely do a better job at making it easier to get started with GraphQL.

So if programmers are wizards, who is our Voldemort that wants us to rule the world? ;)

This really isn't too difficult to do, but it is a time sink I'd rather not have to deal with. With Spring in particular there's a huge amount of complexity so it can take a bit of time to determine exactly what's going

I generally agree, but it's not entirely Spring's fault. The underlying APIs they're using are awful. If I were doing anything Java EE based, I'd still prefer to be using Spring Boot even with it's warts. It might b

This isn't really that unusual since most of these students to tend to have low incomes when they'd be affected by this. What is funny though is how upset people were about potentially losing the ability to deduct state and local

Because businesses pay people who vote Republican, and universities pay people who vote Democrat. That's a bit of an oversimplification of course, but that sort of thing is always in play. Both parties tend to have biases that convenie

Even dumbphones can do MMS, though.

Could easily substitute Snapchat with Facebook, Instagram, any cell provider, etc. I don't see how this really ought to be news.

Why is this necessary? It's just a little joke.

by jrs95 9y ago
My experience with switching from static to dynamic or dynamic to static typing is that it I've always missed the other at times. The flexibility of dynamic languages is especially nice when your requirements change a lot, which is a h

Given that gaming was specifically mentioned, I'm assuming it probably isn't Apple. It's probably for products more similar to the Razer Blade Stealth. The concept of something like that is cool, but the integrated graphics a

True, but alcohol deaths are a much lower percentage of the drinking population than opioid deaths are to opioid users. That makes it more difficult to reduce imo. Alcohol kills indirectly in such a way that aside from efforts to curb drunk

No form of Leninism was anything but a brutal dictatorship. It really wasn't even socialist considering the government didn't represent the workers.

Really should be titled "Leninism's Bloody Century"...or maybe I'm just being pedantic.

I've never really found a good use case for reusing business logic, but just reusing types is pretty helpful. Although you can also get that via something like Swagger as well.

At least it's not Windows. I'm amazed at how something as basic as Bluetooth has been completely fucked for me since I got a PC. On no other platform have my Bose QC35s, AirPods, or wireless Logitech headset had issues. On Windows

I think in the more traditional view of left and right political thought you're correct, but there seems to be a huge shift away from that towards identity politics. And to say that there aren't extremists on this front on both si

This is why even the phrase "hate speech" is dangerous -- it ultimately has no concrete meaning so it's definition is ever-expanding. It's an ideal term to use as a basis for censorship and political violence.

The JSON comparison seems a bit disenginous considering Maria has JSON specific functions but just not a JSON type Edit: nevermind, I was skimming and read that totally wrong, they're pretty explicit about that
