Elon Musk was already on the record as seeing the safety of children as a limit to free speech. Jack Sweeney's efforts to deanonymize the plane could be seen as inciting the following of Musk's two year-old child and the ambush of

In their emails, they seemed to be be brainstorming ways of insisting that they were only applying their policies as normal, but not everybody agreed that this was the case. I don't think we need to read between the lines here. There w

If you did implement it like this it would be helpful to receive an email telling you that somebody has tried to re-register the email address you already have an account with.

I would recommend joining with some recruiters from Durlston Partners. They are fairly upfront about the compensation on offer and for C++ in London it is significantly better than the numbers I've seen in this HN thread. For example,

Not really true. You can buy better versions of products and services.

A central issue is that we have an ageing population and slowing growth. Old people have a tight grip on who runs the country, and tend to get what they want (e.g. high house prices, triple pension lock, fewer immigrants, etc). Unless we ca

What you're saying is basically true: if you're a skilled professional, you'll do much better in the US, than you would do in the UK. US society has even more inequality than the UK. In fact, as a Brit, it was really strange

I remember when the Apple Watch was first released, this is how I thought directions were going to be implemented. I was so disappointed when it turned out this wasn't the case.

Maybe a stupid question, but: what is Wasmtime for? What kind of use-cases/applications does it enable and why is this good?

I've been using it for the last two years. Don't you feel it's quite low-level and also quite problematic to have to keep thinking about caches all the time?

Users often prefer it when sites don't work as the developer intended. Users like browsers that strip away adverts and that show undecorated content. If you make a browser that does this, you stand a chance against a browser that compl

The Barkley Marathons: The Race That Eats Its Young (2014) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2400291/ It's heartfelt, yet comic. It's very enjoyable to watch with somebody else, because it is absurd and funny

Hm, I use the star as "interesting; maybe good". It's a very weak signal that I didn't think something was awful and wanted to be able to find it again. I wouldn't assume that a repository is amazing just because it

Would you consider software engineers that aren't based in the United States? (I'm based out of the United Kingdom.)

I was still on an outside IR35 contract up until October 2020, and then on another at a financial firm on a slightly lower rate until April 2021. You are right though, that it was getting more and more difficult around then. At the first fi

Back in 2020, I was able to make £800 per day doing outside IR35 work. Similar level of experience but in TypeScript, React and Node. Working for an investment bank at the time; however you can get similar rates when working as a Tech Lead.

You really shouldn't let the program continue if it's in an error state which hasn't been recovered from and can't be recovered from. You should hard fail if you're in such a state. Otherwise, I would always throw a

I wouldn't fully agree, because while senior engineers don't often discuss "code quality" syntax/aesthetic issues, it is quite common for people to discuss bugs/edge-cases that need fixes or to discuss simpler

Doesn't this risk the possibility that a new version of these libraries either behaves slightly differently or has different public exports?

I think commits should contain atomic-yet-meaningful changes and the commit message should describe this as well as possible. It's worth rewriting the history to achieve this and squashing or splitting commits until this is the case. Y

It doesn't mean that anything will break. You deprecate old ways long before you remove them from your tool so that by the time you do the breaking change only a tiny slither of people are affected by it.

Basically I wouldn't say that the idea of taking on technical debt in order to pay it off at a later date is beginner or expert. It's simply the norm within most businesses. The expert probably goes deep on some problems and punts

by lhnz 4y ago
Same with the "technical debt" one. The midwit opinion is that you should take it on in the short term so it can be paid off by the business later on. But experts tend to just want to do the right thing(s) faster because they have
