Automating your resume is a bit of a rite of passage for new software engineers. It just feels like a stupid repetitive task. I've found that I change job summaries so often, that automating it was a net negative in time spent on the t

Tests are a basis for every engineering discipline. In software we have the luxury of being able to test each delivered project. Other engineered projects often only have their components tested, and then need to rely on calculations to det

I guess you missed the part where I said that it is better for the child. Reducing my argument to "income/societal optimization stuff" is arguing in bad faith.

I would not say that the child gets a wider variety of experiences in child labor compared to child care. Child care is explicitly designed to have a variety of activities for children. Child labor is the low skill kind with lots of repetit

It is better for everyone, and it does not devalue child-rearing at all. It is better for the family: - it has more resources - it has more income diversification It is better for the father: - he doesn't have to carry the weight

Lombok uses the annotation processor to bootstrap itself. That particular part of Lombok is uncontroversial and is in fact well-documented and used by other tools. The parts of Lombok you have an issue with are not impacted by this change.

To be fair, if the documentation isn't meeting the users' needs it is poor documentation. One of my more tongue-in-cheek maxims is that too much documentation is worse than too little. With too much documentation the information

Is that claim in the part behind the paywall? The furthest the freely accessible part goes is to say Israel "encouraged" Qatari payments to Hamas.

Wow. Your post is much more informative and clearer than the article. And it's only three sentences.

What a stupid article. It doesn't tell you anything beyond "no, buy our products instead". WHY is it bad? HOW does it fail? I mean, it's possible that I don't know enough about UPSes to understand the finer details

There are products that exist for that, though as always: maybe not in your market. Over here they're called hybrid heat pumps and are quite popular. (At least with those that offer to sell them.) They're used in improving existin

It's kind of cool how you can see a border around the 54th/55th parallel. Is there a physical reason for that, or is it mostly an available markets thing?

Looking quickly at the site, I don't see de-anonymized users. I don't see any user profiles at all. Just job titles. Has anybody been able to independently verify this?

I like it too. It's nice to have separate work and home spheres, where the one doesn't distract from the other. I find commuting both annoying and nice. It allows me to clear my head and switch over to the other mindset.

I agree with all of that. And in fact, that is what this city has. The car-free center thing works very well. You get a few large parking garages around the center, and inside you do everything on foot. The rest of the city is spacious and
