Just curious why you think so. Bash manuals tend to be pretty long and it seems they also provide a quick reference for commands right in the same docs page. Is it the "book" aspect of it?

For anyone who hasn't done interviews and are curious, the interview chain is not vetted in any way or form at most places. Typically in bigger companies there is a one or two hour session where you are told what you can and can't

Great list, two nits. "Open Source means it has fewer bugs and is more secure." Maybe not in the absolute meaning of that expression, but I find it true when you only consider the higher quality open source projects, e.g. say the

Maybe misunderstood what you meant, but vim's undo is not linear but rather tree-like. You can undo, make a change, and still get back to the initial state. https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Using_undo_branches Edit: th

and no one is willing to say so. Except most engineers are perfectly willing to say so in my experience but management decides to ignore them or force them to say a made up number promising falsely not to hold them to it. Even wor

The first point sounds like a defeatist mentality (of course assuming we share the ideal of our location data not being sold and if possible even stored) - at what point would we be able to push companies away from using location data if we

While I understand the sentiment of this comment, isn't it still a good thing to reduce the number of companies with this data? As the companies that track your location goes down, it becomes easier to argue against the other ones doin

I felt that way when studying math in college, but after sometime I actually came to like the use of "clearly" and the like as it can be used as a check on whether you've spent enough time internalizing the previous informati

I would say that. Most other tools have a "pull" dynamic where the user has made the decision to use them. Instead, while phones also have this dynamic, they also have a "push" dynamic where someone else, or even just an

My initial impression is the same as the parent. Juxtaposing microservices and KISS seems weird as the "architectural complexity" of microservices is several times higher than a monolith. You're not only multiplying the point

So would you say you hate 'hate'? If you don't hate 'hate' and it's "absolutely binary" then doesn't it follow you love hate? If you do in fact hate 'hate' then it must also mean you ha

Thank you and @hfourm, I will try out the redux solutions proposed.

Maybe this is either an uncommon use case or I'm missing an easy way to do it, but when you have a component tree like A->B->C (-> denoting child relation) and A contains most of the state and B contains many (say > 1k) chi

Thanks for the reply! "The point is definitely not about prepared presentation" - to me this doesn't ring true at all, but I am sure it depends on the person who is getting interviewed. When I'm asked about times I'

Some companies in NY hire for software engineering without requiring a comp-sci degree. Used to work at Bloomberg and a lot of the people there were hired without a classical programming background but still with some programming experience

Maybe it's not easier to start depending on languages you are familiar with, but I think after the starting phase it gets easier by having standard libraries for common things like hashmaps, by having a much easier to configure build s

Did Screenhero not work with the slack add-on? I think I made an account without an invite recently just to check it out.

Agreed, as long as managers, business, or generally people who talk a lot weren't stationed there. And other people coming for discussion or just to chat weren't allowed either unless it involved the entire team.

One or two seconds sounds pretty long to me. I think I close accidental ad clicks well under a second a lot of the time as I realize what I did without waiting for the site to load.

I'm assuming parent is thinking of Rust. And more generally type systems relying heavily on linear types (I believe).

Why not? Newspapers are fairly complex websites too and React is amazing at reducing code complexity, especially when compared to using vanilla js. There are other libraries that would also work great, but then it's comparing pros and

On a first look, it looks amazing. This is actually what I've always imagined "graphical" programming to look like.

This unfortunately does not account for different groups having different starting luck. I suppose you can in part handle that by having very large groups but since luck is luck simply the process of selection, even if random, is biased whi
