As a long-time React dev, I booted Windows and started looking thru the "vnext" setup. But then took another look and saw this: System Requirements: Visual Studio 2017 Oh. Well, sorry but I'm not going to drop my current IDE

Learning a language teaches you deeply about that culture and gives you perspectives on your own culture from the standpoint of another.

Actually they're quoting 660km on https://www.tesla.com/en_AU/models/design#battery

For metric folks, this equates to nearly 600km. That's about as much as I want to drive in the space of a single day. Conceivably however, automated driving could mean doing longer distances. And at a cost much less than an airfare - j

Yes. Great drawings/animations too that show a lot of thought and effort being put in. Cheers for the links. Do you need a licence to operate a boat in Venice? Update - it appears you do and it's pretty tightly controlled.

I stepped thru getting some Ubuntu systems using 1.1.1.1 for DNS but retaining DHCP otherwise. Looks like this is tricky to do but some new features came in with a netplan package update that allows this to be done easily in 19.04: https:&

Different strokes for different folks - and he is certainly different. I have fantasised for years about doing my dev work away from a desk. So maybe it’s just me but I find his ‘walking desk’ fascinating and thought provoking.

Why do US airlines overbook flights? Is it the same sort of thinking?

I don’t inherently disagree with you but you’re not recognising that as tech evolves, you’re asking people to span an extraordinary amount of complexity. In fact, the premise of the article is that front end development is now essentially t

Technology evolves. As it evolves, it becomes more sophisticated and the roles themselves become more specialised. Twenty years ago you could have a designer writing simple HTML/CSS pages and then a Java developer filling in the functi

I haven’t seem the film, but I will try to find it. It’s good that some historical remnant - the control tower -remains. In NE Australia, there were a huge number of airfields that many hundreds of B-25s and other aircraft flew out from on

“Transpiling is a code smell” - what is the thinking behind this statement?
79.
by magicbuzz 8y ago
Agreed. For a long termer, you need to make a 5-6 month full time investment in learning the language. From then on, being immersed means you’re gradually improving and your options and understanding of the everyday expands considerably.

Using Brave for a bit will give you some perspective on what sort of things (e.g. location) are being requested whenever you hit a Google-related page.

Is it reasonable to expect a web developer to be able to configure nginx? To be honest, I guess maybe not. But the person in question was maintaining how https slowed all sites down and so should be avoided. When I questioned him about the

Looks like your Dad got exposure to IBM equipment and realised that being a programmer could be a good job. I did my undergrad in the early 80s and the Uni had a CDC which was old then. First assignment in Pascal was writing it on a punchca
