If you want to optimize your learning experience, then learn Go first. Rust has a very steep learning curve, whereas you can pick up Go very very quickly. I learned Go by reading The Go Programming Language. It's a bit old, but a very

Reading some replies here, it’s no wonder some startups go bankrupt while investing so much in infrastructure — all while not having enough users to justify more than a single dedicated server. Scalability should be the last thing in mind i

Basically there are two approaches: LeetCode vs project/test based. The LC approach is fair if you only consider the fact that everybody will get these exercises. They are somewhat standard, and you know what to expect. However, you ne

Eating fruits is actually good for preventing type 2 diabetes [1]. In my personal experience, I've found that following a keto-ish approach for my diet by decreasing processed carbs, as well as increasing fruit intake, has had a positi

The title is a bit weird, since I think this will be more of an issue for people who are in a serious/long-term relationship but aren't married.

Glad the procedure was successful for you. We're still trying to find what the best solution might be for my wife, but it gives me hope to hear success stories like this. Thanks!

Saying "congrats", whether ironic or not, comes off as insensitive at best.

Interesting. I've heard recovery from jaw surgery can be trying. What was your experience like?

My wife has sleep apnea and her BMI is 19. So, not necessarily.

What is considered to be the best treatment for apnea these days? Is it ESP, or something else? Besides CPAP of course.

I think the "just ship it" method is necessary when you're small and starting out. Unless you are well funded, you couldn't afford to do what Apple did.

I used to feel this way, too. However, every single one of us has their own unique circumstances. I can't give too many details unfortunately. But, there's a specific step I took in my career, which was completely random at the ti

Not sure if you're arguing for, or against same pay regardless of location... My opinion is that, if a company pays my US peers $200k, I expect to be paid the same. I can't force this opinion on others, but what I can do is refuse

At my company, we had like 3-4 steps, each with clear wording to cancel a subscription, and they had to type something in the end to confirm. Guess what? We still had tickets asking to restore their subscriptions :)

Maybe the UX is not great, but surely having to type "httpie/httpie" would have given me a pause. Regardless, to make mistakes is human. What I don't really like is how the author starts attacking Github and Microsoft, j

It aligns with my experience as well. I keep getting recommendations for shows I have already disliked. If it's due to a low number of options, and not due to their recommendation system, then surely they don't need such a complex

Tipping culture in the US is very weird. I would rather have the prices be 15% higher, and not tip. Otherwise, where does it stop? Do you tip bus drivers? Nurses and doctors? What about teachers? Why not tip at the grocery store? Perhaps yo

Lately I’ve had an increased desire to learn things. Usually I’d be gaming or watching tv shows, now there’s so many shows to catch up on because I apparently like learning. Maybe I was depressed — I don’t know.
