reading royce made it apparent the agile movement was, in part, a response to a strawman i have no doubt that places were practicing waterfall in the large. people running businesses, both vendor and client, want 'predictable' est

Makes sense really. The fat stores will go a longer way with less muscle. I imagine that would work brilliantly during the cold winter months living in a cave, where theres less reason to move much. Unfortunately, this is dysfunctional in t

We thought that at the SaaS I’m working at but AWS scheduled maintenance in our AZ and that led to significant downtime with nothing we could do about it, no compensation, nada. It was basically our fault because we didn’t use multi-AZ. I c

You’re right. Psalm has been a god send on the project I’m working on. Unfortunately, it’s taking far too long for Laravel to catch up so parts of its API are a black hole for types. Especially things like request input, which returns a uni

Nexium, or esomeprazole, works well, or better than Zantac, and can be purchased OTC (at least here in the UK). It’s pricey but usually lasts a couple of days or more so it stretches further.

I noticed the difference too when moving to a town just outside of Snowdonia in Wales, UK. It’s truly wonderful - you just don’t see it growing up in a city like Manchester. It’s Bortle 4 where I live and it drops down to 3 just 20 minutes

Yes. I was thinking exactly this when coming into the comments. Real world benchmarks take more time to prepare, we get that, but let’s be honest: a bold claim _needs_ bold evidence.

I have ADHD and this is what I would recommend. Dual screen is okay if you implement the rest as long as the task occupies both screens (e.g code in one and tests, type checking or a live demo on the other). I’d go further and suggest turni

I think a lot of the evangelism happened before Python and other languages both picked up steam and integrated some of the powerful ideas, e.g first class functions / closures or a powerful object system, so the chasm is now much narro

Yes, I find it harder to read code at lengths much longer than this. 120 is quite difficult. It also makes it even harder to read if you split the screen vertically, which I do all the time. That said, I don’t think it should be a hard limi

I didn’t know this until I read it. Whenever I listened to Ghosts, I’ve hit a few tracks and thought “I’m sure this was on The Social Network”. And then some time later, I’ve done the same thing listening to TSN OST. Never clicked!

I really loved the soundtrack when watching this film. I was thinking this is some of the best New Age music I’ve ever heard. And, to my complete surprise, it was scored by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. NIN has been my all time favourite b

Indeed, it’s hard to read about naughty Orcas and Postgres internals on a single feed, despite both being inherently interesting to me. It’s a refreshing change from the Reddit homepage, with topics I have to piece together myself. Fact is,

I believe the chat backend was implemented in Erlang too. When I was much younger, the web based instant messaging seemed like magic to me so I looked into it and turned out they used Erlang.

Me too! I was, shamefully, in the middle of work so had a mini panic thinking my 5 min HN scroll was gonna become an hour long battle with my connection!

One of the quotes seems to mention to that, where he says he digests a lot of papers to add a small part to TAoCP, since his aim is to write books that cover a the breadth of computer science (which necessarily cannot be as deep as these pa

Interesting. The cheesecake here is nothing like ones found in the UK, which would be classified as toast!
