Not code but I have encountered a doppelgänger software engineer. He was an external contractor on a (sub-) project I de facto managed. I'd meet him twice a week, checking how the feature implementation is going, and prioritize upcomin

Internal. 30+y of development with multiple languages, and I'm still a rookie when I look at the code and the progress of it, and part of the revenue (maybe even most of it) doesn't even come from this monorepo codebase. My unders

We were among the first to try Nova (talking directly with the Developers) and while it's slightly better than CLion classic, the double size package and still no remote index support didn't warrant rolling it out, unfortunately.

I converted 140+ CLion users to VS Code / vim / Emacs (mostly vscode) at our company. It's not about the "text editor". It's about the LSP and implementations for it. Like it or not, before LSP, code intelligen

I read it before I became a daily reader of HN. I always thought and still think it's a great book. It may miss some writer's instruments to make it "a good book" in the classical sense, but to me it wasn't missing

Yes. In general, I think of multi-stage builds as if multiple docker files were concatenated; if ARG or SHELL doesn't exist in the theoretical split Dockerfile, then it wouldn't exist in the multistage build. Docker(file) is a thi

This is unnecessarily complicated. Just use `SHELL` SHELL ["/bin/sh", "-o", "nounset", "-c"] RUN printf "DEB=${DEBVER}\nCAP=${CAPVER}\n"

> Empty, selfish This is sad. I wish you the best for your non empty, non selfish life. I also hope once you open your mind and develop some sympathy for people who think differently. Not to mention those who didn't choose this path

Most of the people I've seen that do have children are extremely miserable for the first couple thousand days and then moderately miserable for the next decade. So what, probably our sample is not representative. My pet peeve is when p

Oh my... I'm pretty sure I already ran into this due some pedantic shellcheck rules telling me I should use `read` for some array construction, and when I realized it doesn't work the way I want it to, would probably silence the w

Dunno, I don't use social media, neither see ads (adblock), but the older I get, the more I want to explore, learn about history, travel to places. I agree with the sentiment (social media / ad algorithms influencing the... influe

> compiles straight to binary I checked it ten years ago-ish, I think it transpiles into C (with GObject). Still no runtime though.

It did improve. However, I'm procrastinating right now by reading HN instead of fixing our multi-compiler requirement toolchain setup for Bazel, and I am contemplating resigning from my job and IT altogether. I hate Bazel at this point

Popular apps already have this built in (WhatsApp / LinkedIn / other social media platforms). My "killer" idea back then was simply putting a LinkedIn-qr-code on back of my business card. Whenever I handed it over to som

Anecdote time. I worked on a Deutsche Telekom cloud project, which was somewhat internally competing with the Huawei-built Open Telekom Cloud. At the same time, a business partner and I also consulted other telco companies. What I have seen

Exactly my point. I would also enforce the accents, haha. Especially because when I was younger, I always thought it is "élő" (living, persisting, current), as in: it's the current up-to-date valuation of someone's rank

My favorite is, although mentioned on the list without the Hungarian accented characters, is the ELO system (chess). Named after Árpád Élő, "Elo" is not an abbreviation but his last name, and means "living" in Hungarian.

Just careful with how "brown" it is. I saw stores selling sliced brown bread that differ from white bread only due food coloring. FWIW the packaging doesn't state it's more fibrous or healthier... This is, I guess, the s

OsmAnd has this feature built-in (and offline). This is how I travel; sometimes walking around in a city, "oh, nice building/park/statue/etc, what is this?" and in no seconds I read the intro of its Wikipedia articl
