I always use the cover letter to sell myself to stand out with extra details directly related to the position, or company. The resume doesn't give a lot of detail at all.

Microsoft Visual Studio Code ships with code search tool written in Rust.

I definitely don't think systemd should be the go-to system for memory info. It already has too many functions, and does way too much.

I've used i3 for many years now. It's wonderful to see a tiling WM for Wayland with near feature-parity to i3. It probably makes it much easier when i3 has avoided feature creep, and has clean readable code.

Yeah, it works really well. That is what I use for my fish shell.

I've used it continuously for 6 years.

Most people I've met use virtualenvwrapper. It doesn't work on other shells like fish though. However, I'd simply focus on learning how virtualenv works, and use whatever tool to manage it as you feel like.

There is a bin/pip you could call directly and have it install packages to the correct path. Even commands installed from packages work that way. I would only use 'bin/python' directly from scripts called from cron, or o

Plus, for those of us who use C-b for navigation in the terminal, instead of using the arrow keys, makes it a nightmare. 100% unusable until it's rebound to some other key. C-b, for me, is deeply ingrained as cursor navigation - in the

I set my key binding in i3 to the super (windows key), and for the majority of the time it stays out of the way of Emacs, Conkeror, and other programs. I don't really have any issues with it taking up the keybinding "space".

The video linked in the top-most comment will beautifully answer your questions. It's also on YouTube. You can think of it as in the sampling rate provides a mathimatical solution to the waveform - it's simply 100% accurate all th

Increasing the bits doesn't increase the accuracy of the audio in terms of frequencies. It's 100% accurate regardless of bits. That's why trying to compare it to video resolution doesn't work. Bit depth is more akin to t

Very interesting approach. I've heard of an approach similar to this one, although it was not limited to junior devs. You can quickly find out if a possible final candidate is appropriate, and a good fit for the company, by simply work

I don't listen to anything when coding. I need the silence, and deep thought. However, when I'm doing trivial things, I listen to classical music. Usually "Essential Classical", or something similar, on Google Music.

TDD allows you to make your abstractions based on real evidence, rather than conjecture.
107.
by lgunsch 9y ago
The goal of TDD is not to have tests, or a huge test coverage. Those are just important side-effects. One goal, ignoring how it improves focus and divides complexity up nicely, is to make cleaner code. If your code respects the single-respo

by lgunsch 9y ago
It's exactly the opposite. TDD was a put forward as a solution to unclear, changing business requirements. It allows you to adjust course very quickly when the business realizes its requirements were off and new set of requirements are

Regarding your second point, it is not only very difficult, but also not even how TDD was designed to work by its original creators at all. It is specifically not written by other people. TDD, as outlined by the one who created the techniqu

I would agree with those two statements. They are even mentioned by Kent Beck, who created the technique in the first place, in his book Test Driven Development: By Example. He spends a whole bunch of time hammering home the point that TDD

by lgunsch 9y ago
Very true. Even Robert Martin himself says that TDD without refactoring is worse than TDD (in one of his books). He mentions that if refactoring is not done you will be worse off than had you not done tests at all. He even recommends simply

"okay, we'll have an intern do the manual keying each week and use the prototype as the finished product. Thank you, goodbye." is a valid business choice though. Maybe the cost of the intern and the risk of being unable to ef

I was looking around for it when you mentioned it, but didn't see any PM system either.

I, unfortunately, have had the entirely opposite experience. All the atheists I've talked with discount any evidence brought forward by scientists, or articles I have read in journals. The ones I have met are closed-minded.

I don't do the monthly outlook, because it never was useful to me at all. I'm not much of a calendar event planner type person. Any event I had to remember a long way off I just put in my calendar app to remind me a few days befor

Read and write system calls have nothing to do with jump instructions causing a page fault by traversing data structures. That is what Redis is all about - in memory data structures available to clients.
118.
by lgunsch 10y ago
The only way to receive an event would be from a signal, like SIGSEGV. There is no way to hook a jump instruction up to kqueue. In any case, this would mean writing specific code to handle the case, implying it is not simply a difference of

by lgunsch 10y ago
This assumes you are doing read and write system calls, not following pointers in memory. In the Redis article, it is talking about in-memory data structures. The page fault happens from following a pointer to another location in memory, fo

I switched to Colemak years ago, and I still love it. It helped remove my tendonitis, and improved my typing speed. The odd time I use another computer I hunt and peck. My phone is still qwerty too, but it seems to not matter at all, since
