I second the idea of revisiting the calendar. I add events in the calendar of what I’ve been doing every time I context switch. It makes it purposefully annoying to context switch often, and I revisit what I did that week at the end of it.

What about messages that uncover a bug in the consumer/message format? After X failed attempts, the data shouldn’t be enqueued anymore, but rather logged somewhere for engineers to inspect.

I wouldn’t say the benchmarks put out by graph databases are bullshit. But there is a need for a standardisation of how they’re produced. The main problem is that when you’re comparing two products you’re bound to be comparing apples to ora

Crying wolf is the main problem. They often go off on random things. Especially outdoor sensors, as you pointed out. But then again, one could have a short lasting warning siren, and then a full blast one when someone does break in.

Really cool project! I always thought the most important thing about home security alarms is calling the police and filming the outside and inside of a house while transmitting the video feed live somewhere. Reading this post I was coming u

It’s like that scene from the Margin Call. All is well, until you notice the calculations you did before make no sense.

+1. The B-17 design flaw analogy is one of the best I’ve seen. The title is great as well, very catchy.

I’m not sure I agree. I’m a very outgoing extroverted person, and even I feel cut-off when someone points out they think something is super easy, especially when it’s really not easy. Just a few weeks ago at work, one of the TLs told me I s

I’m in the same boat. Never saw a need to reinstall, there’s been hiccups where after an untimely upgrade the system won’t boot. But it’s a 30min fix every 3-4years.

I don’t understand why wouldn’t you just use a list and an index. You can always access list[index+1] or list[index-1] or list[0] or list[list.length-1]. What is the benefit here?

The reason I never searched for code review software is because I rarely have issues with it. The biggest problem was when reviews took a while because people forgot to check MRs for replies if the MR wasn’t assigned to them. So we built a

Sorry, I meant 8 chapters. I read through the 34 lessons. I suggest you take a look at typingclub. 700+ lessons free of charge. Repetition, and metrics are the selling point. If you incorporate that model in vimified I think you’ll have way
