odd they don't also have a QR code there, which, for this purpose, seems a more ubiquitous way of doing things. NFC doesn't seem to have much advantage over QR, other than maybe harder to graffiti over

from years of doing wiki documentation, document rot is fine, if it rots, so be it. Most of the time I write the docs for me but with a "getting started" frame of mind. On our wiki there are a whole bunch of actively maintained

so..... the data this is based on is from https://sci-hub.se/10.1109/vlhcc.2014.6883030 which is 21 students programming. Seems a bit suspect the whole premise really. I don't really end up doing what this a

I haven't found dyson sphere as addictive, but it's definitely fun and has a similar feel, but dyson sphere seems more about building massive amounts of things rather than clever designs

it is, its kind of unfortunate, but things are always in a state of flux. Can happen the other way around, a company goes through an entire elimination process, gets the final choice, and they turn it down.

But is the "process" making it better at finding good hires? I know for myself I did big interviews at one stage, and realized most of it was redundant, I wasn't really learning more that would change my decision, I quickly l

a presentation about your projects you've worked on? hmmm, when I interview someone about their projects its pretty much a conversation where there is no set plan. Quite often you end up swapping what projects you talk about based on q

my anecdotal experience is similar, there's quite a few products we use because we started with the free plan, and now pay for the product. One of the big problems over the last few years is we have ended up with a LOT of useless subs

I'd suggest having a look through https://github.com/fsprojects/awesome-fsharp and look at the high starred items (though some are not strictly F# but just something F# can use) maybe something like suave (backend

agile wasn't really a process, just a manifesto. All scrum did was package itself as a marketing strategy to enterprises while the rest of the agile advocates face palmed and slowly walked backwards from "agile" as it became

I remember as a kid in the 80s trying to do simple things like draw diagonal lines.... painful.... then wanting to draw a circle. That was even more painful. My dad was a physicist and taught me the math needed.... I can remember watchin

humans tend to love lists of things that give ranking of things. So its going to get people clicking on it. But the actual lists don't really tell you anything. At best these kinds of things are more interesting when they track trend

many software problems boil down to badly done X, where X is some paradigm, technology or technique. Then someone concludes, like this article, that it is pointless / to be avoided etc. It would instead be better that you write an ar

when that happens it's called coincidental coupling, when two things get coupled together for the wrong reason. It often is done when people are trying to be too "dry" and trying to remove as much duplication as possible. Bu

We migrated away from Jira to YouTrack, which is quite flexible. Speed wise it's not too bad, could be snappier. But it is really flexible with full APIs. Jetbrains also has "Spaces" which is more simplified but has other

mostly I think it appeals to non traditional embedded programmers. It has some appeal in that it is easy to send code to devices as "data" ( much the same as the advantages of embedding lua or other scripting languages ). Certain

there is no reason you "should" other than in some environments you may encounter vi so it is worth knowing the basics. There are many advantages, however, clumsy and slow is a common reaction. From what I've seen, some peop

this "trying to show concern" is just fake. Atlassian have a ticket tracking system for their problems. They just ignore so much of the big hard problems, they close tickets with hundreds and hundreds of people on it explaining

it's weird why youtrack doesn't come up more often in these types of discussions. It's pretty good, and interestingly enough they now have a "lite" ui mode to simplify it. It's not perfect though, but I&#x27

really interesting reading the comments where people are trying to cost optimize, and then others justifying the costs by time saved. Seems to me both ways of thinking about this is the wrong mindset. The more important thing is the opera
