Most people are not advanced searchers, so they expect fuzzy matches (give me what I mean vs what I ask for). Exact searching can be expensive to add right and since most users don't really care, it's usually not worth it.

These things usually suck when latency is high... even if you are supporting most major regions it's not usual to find yourself in a situation when you have a few hundred ms latency. Anything over ~40ms is very noticeable when typing a

I think we've reached the point where we need legislation to force companies to: - Clearly explain all bans and suspensions (which exact rule you broke, which evidence do they have, who made the call) - Provide a clear resolution/

That's just sound engineering. Besides the usual quality considerations (correct, available, performant, etc.), well engineered software systems should be: - observable: you need to be able to tell the state of the system to a sufficie

There's also the pervasive argument across Gibson's work that humanity is speciating, the ultra-rich becoming a different kind of human that's hard to convey just visually. The corporation becoming a gestalt, I don't kno

It's very easy to ruin Neuromancer in an adaptation. I'm kind of skeptic after seeing the adaptation of "The Peripheral", which IMHO misses the most important parts (and characters) of the book and waters it down into an

I'm an influencer. I have no formal power in the sense that people are not supposed to do what I say, so I have to be convincing, and influence others behaviors to make the software better. This implies analysis and compromise, having

Be careful with Domain Driven Design in high/performance or data intensive domains. It just doesn't produce scalable designs. Focus on Data Oriented Design instead, particularly on those scenarios, I think this summarizes the idea

There's also HashMap randomization, that was introduced in JDK 9 to make certain kinds of attacks more difficult to perform. The moral of the story should be: don't lean on undefined behavior. If you care about iteration order, th

Build and break things (avoid passive content), and then study the basics. I started coding when I was 8 (hitting 46 next month). I did go to university and studied all the CS side eventually, but I got in already knowing how to write code

It changes from one industry to the next, some are counter-cyclical. When everything goes down, those go up. Portable jobs, such as software, tend to remain in high-demand, because even if some companies are struggling, others are flourishi

Also, programming jobs in finance can be really boring. There are a few neat technical challenges, but usually the subject matter is quite dry and fairly annoying (regulatory frameworks, etc.). Also there's usually a lot of red tape to

But in a way it's right. The approach is a temper tantrum. There's no clear path or discussion of the issues at hand, it's just a simplistic demand that's essentially impractical. Civilized people get involved in a civil

CEOs are mostly about vision and culture/values (with financials thrown in for good measure). Execution falls on other executives and their orgs. If the exec team is good, it's not a hands on job unless shit hits the fan at a huge

It was the right move, it's also a red flag for the org and the CEO should look closely into the details of the org he is leading. My read here is that they were heavily under-utilized (and probably under paid), this tends to happen in

Weakly typed languages are like that, once you start practicing programming as a team sport, the type system is your friend. Another factor usually ignored, is that when coding as a team, code is read way more often than written/modifi
