LinkedIn. It’s not social as in “cool” and “trendy” social. For professional networking, it really is the best general networking tool. If you have more focused communities for your areas of interest or expertise, those may be even better.

Selling is harder than building. At least for a builder. Go out and sell, even before you build.

Scary thought: Let's say you do this. And facial data DBs continue to grow. And eventually they become so widespread that most people are in them. And facial recognition becomes so ubiquitous that it is necessary for everyday transacti

One benefit is that you only need to send one string value (traceId) through the whole call stack, instead of passing around a trace object that gets built up. It seems lighter and simpler to add to an existing codebase.

Does this naive approach work for anyone to allow a log to be read like a trace: 1. At the start of a request, generate a globally unique traceId 2. Pass this traceId through the whole call stack. 3. Whenever logging, log the traceId as a p

In this particular case, it's easier to think of the problem as "allocating $10 among 3 parties" rather than "dividing $10 among 3 parties." The latter insinuates equal distribution. Often, having the 3 parts sum ba

Years of practice have led me to this practical wisdom: As long as things are consistent, no one cares if you are correct. If you lose a penny in the backend calculation, and the frontend shows the amount without the penny, and the email co

It’s exactly how you describe it. I also see it both ways. The gazelle is more visible, but the bull seems more like the auroch.

If I were to draw animals in a cave wall today, they would be even more crude. These paintings were made by individual people and each had different artistic ability. How long ago they were painted may not correlate directly with how intric

Thank you for making this. It was hard to see anything before. After seeing your drawing, I see another way of interpreting this image. What if the bull is facing right and not left. The dark spot is his upper back. Can you see it that way

You're right. I've never come across such usage of "falsified".

by koliber 3y ago
The word "falsifiable" does not mean the thing that you are using it for. It sounds like you are using it to mean "it was proven wrong." When talking about theories, a theory that is not falsifiable is one that could not

In the real world, each would have had to declare $100 of income and pay the appropriate income tax. The more they eat, the more often money changes hands, the more tax income the government receives. Velocity of money. https://e

The issue seems to be wider than just abandoning support on IoT. IoT device abandonment is a real problem, but you can aim higher. Software written for hardware is generally of poor quality. There is an insightful HackNews thread from three

The current time formats depend on databases that can change at any time. I haven’t found one that is implementable and usable in the real world that does not depend on something that can be changed. Countries change. Timezones change by de

Not dumb. Human. It’s rare to come across someone who, after hearing by anything vaguely negative about them, is listening attentively to what comes next. Not saying that such people don’t exist. I can count the ones I came across in my 44

The latter provides a tiny bit more detail about what you are praising. It is still lacking in concrete details though and can be improved by adding more about what you liked about why you liked how they tackled it.

Would it work better if it was delivered as “good intention, decent start, improve the middle, but an alright finish”? Shit sandwich? Call it what you will. If it is genuine and true, lead with the good and deliver the bad afterwards works

Such communication style can work well, but only if it is genuine. When people do mess up, there is often something good in the mix. It’s possible to lead with a compliment to point out what was done well, and follow up with constructive cr

Another reason is that writing and other creative work happens deliberately as well as unconsciously. If you stop mid sentence, it is likely that your mind will nibble away at it while you are not writing. The next time you sit down, not on

If you want to find the developer who will drop your table by accident, ask your devs to raise their hands if they ever dropped a table by accident. Those that don’t raise their hand are the ones you watch carefully.
