I wish someone would script this, or publish a completed folder (less the official assets that those of us who own a copy can paste in), I want to play this, but there's no way I'm going to spend hours and hours and hours followin

Outsource it if you can. Otherwise I keep my brain entertained by multitasking while doing the boring thing : I’ll play a turn based RPG, or have German lessons or a Knuth lecture playing. Or music. Theres a fine balance between distracting

Sooooo how does that work? I rent your username while you’re on holiday for a month and then spam your followers with crypto scams and viagra ads? Or they decouple followers from the username so the username becomes a transient thing, which

I suspect that there’s only a tiny, tiny fraction of issues that are above the complexity that a linter and test framework can’t identify, but are below the complexity that requires deep codebase knowledge, and I would say that the overwhel

This one is really important. Tell no one, or only a very very small number of people, but strong preference to no one. Look at maslows hierarchy of needs, now that your psychological and safety needs are dealt with, it’s time to move up th

Not full time, but documenting interfaces, speeding up tests, generating stubs and harnesses, profiling pain points - all these I find to be meditative tasks, and I do them when I'm not 100%. I can do about 4-5 hours a day of "dif

The exact same thing happened to me, I added my own (new) card for billing and they immediatly locked my account and requested the docs, I got the same screen you described. I had just moved countries and none of my new accounts had statem

It can work for some usage patterns, but it’s important to understand the trade offs Hosted gives up easy hardware replacement, easier redundancy, 24/7 monitoring etc But a hybrid approach worked well for one place I worked at. Their w

The article just talked about $TECHNOLOGY in a general form, it didn’t even limit the discussion to web technologies. Hence my comment.

Exactly, a senior frontend web engineer is not going to transfer to senior compiler engineer, or senior embedded engineer, or senior game-dev, without a substantial ramp up period from lack of domain knowledge.

The subjective element to legal interpretation is why our legal system is not purely algorithmic. If it was, people will argue malicious compliance like you are, but intent has to be considered, both the intent of the developer and the in

I’m curious about embedded and constrained environments, do you mind telling us a bit more? What was the project? What hardware was involved? What tooling and OS’s did you use? What were the most challenging technical problems? Really just

So? They will see I don’t have one. As lots of people on this thread have mentioned - not everyone has a LinkedIn profile, and making it a required field on the signup form is dumb.

Yep, I’ve been there, I was a consultant in London charging 700 pounds a day, and my hands were tied because of a silly 50 USD license expense and couldn’t work for a month. I asked if I could just pay it myself, but was told that would vio

Examine the slow queries with the query planner, don’t spend a bunch of time re-architecting on a hunch until you know for sure why it’s slow! An hour with the query planner can save you days or weeks or wasted work!

It’s usually an attempt at deception - malicious intent, ego protection, incompetence hiding, or more rarely pure stupidity or faulty memory. I also find it’s symptomatic of many other psychological traits - impulsive liars, foggy thinkers,

I too have a near photographic memory, and although I can feel it slightly decreasing with age, I experience all of the things you mention above. One other downside I have had is that it can be enormously frustrating when you can remember c

This is not over-fitting, a fully overfit model is one that would only detect positives on the 5 or so frames that it was trained on, but this is clearly generalising well to unseen frames - many unseen frames - so yeah, like you say, it’s

I'm not here to argue whether a blockchain is a correct use case or not, that's why I specifically said in my parent comment I'm not interesting in arguing about that, and also said it again in my parent comment. There's

The immutable state of the blockchain is fine, in fact it’s better because it’s proof of the fraudulent transaction. It’s possible to write smart contracts in a way that an auditor, or group of auditors who reach consensus, can forcibly rem
