If by educators you mean professors I think none. Git is very specific and teaching the various different VCS paradigms wouldn't really be helpful in learning Git specifically. I say that in light of the fact that (at least in the US)

I mean, if you live in a blue state what I said registers: taxes are higher than they used to be. It's because the standard deduction is a joke compared to our state taxes plus life events.

That is interesting. I didn't know the "simplify taxes" people won. This is why you can't write off moving expenses, etc... No wonder taxes have been so high.

I'm not even sure why. Even if the IRS prepared an "initial statement" for you given what they have more than half of the US would (still) have to hire someone to come in and fix everything. I did an IRA backdoor this year an

Actually, I moved out of DFW because of my 60 minute each way commute and the average salary of an engineer there. This was some time ago, so things may have changed, but I wouldn't describe DFW (especially in it's current expansi

Got requires a mental model. I've tried to teach git without the mental model and it just doesn't work. There's a whole pack of people on the internet who refuse to learn the internals and complain incessantly about it. I don

I think reaching peak optimization as an engineer is a mix of: - Knowing or having control of the tools you use - Knowing what problems are most important to revenue and which are the greatest risk - Knowing the language well enough to plan

Flash did end up influencing the animations of CSS. I'm not sure about the other technologies you mentioned, but I think the delineation here may be that the idea was the future, not the tech.

Yes, NIMBYs are populists as well. Populism doesn't have a favored side of the spectrum.

I'm all for seeing more justice around smear campaigns, however there's a long way to go. This is why I maintain a hefty chunk of skepticism around things that seem just a bit too coincidental and lack concrete, direct evidence. A

Honestly, as bad of a take as OPs comment is calling people robots on the internet in any serious manner is also pretty bad form.

AI won't take a thought workers job. It just sucks the life out of it. Like the person who wrote this post, I make bespoke software. I tinker, I experiment, and I produce high quality results in reasonable timelines. Executives could n

You and I can agree on that in principle but there's a lot of reasons an application may read from system time. If the application reads the wrong system time source, then they get unexpected time travel. Even things like the RTC can e

The OS tracks time in epoch but your application doesn't. Bugs like this happen because a library that does time conversion for your application has a bug or your application is time sensitive but doesn't know how to handle time t

Sorry this happened to you, these kind of problems tend to be vague and difficult to patch up. I've advocated for over a decade as a systems engineer not to set system time to anything other than UTC. Not all languages or applications

This also translates on to Software Engineers when talking about Systems Engineering topics. People are quite silo'd and there's often people who have a specific overlap between two disciplines.

Ah, so people don't just "refuse to implement it", yeah? There's been a large number of disasters with long-term consequences and the industry is claiming it has more reliable systems, which is also what they said before
