This. I would add -> understand how git works. The difference between merge and rebase, what Head is, what Tip is, etc.

Isn't that normal? The people in charge are typically older than 40 years. And those were born in the previous century from people born in the same century or the one before, teaching those "old" values, etc. I would say the

It's very hard to quantify attention. And also, is that the most important? Quantifying a reward should not be given to an algorithm. That's the only reason why things like this[0] happen. For me the best way is either a Netflix s

Brave's business reminds me of Adblock+. They started all "we are cool, we make the web a better place" (which they did by the way), then they didn't know how to monetize, so they introduced "non invasive ads"

I don't know if I understood it right, but BATs are only given when users see the ads, right? If this is the case, it seems that Brave fosters the use of ads, not reduce it. Is my understanding right?

Do you have any resource mentioning that the algorithm runs in O(logn) time or space? This is really new to me, sorry. I don't mean to argue, it's just the first time I hear such a thing.

For God's sake, for a second I thought I had forgotten everything about the O notation. Thanks for confirming what I thought is the correct definition of big O.

> How would reporting change anything? There are still companies that give a shit about this sort of things. Depends obviously on who is the perpetrator. (... sadly enough).

I think that can happen even without the mentoring context. Office politicians know how to throw bombs even when they just say hi. However, I agree that in order for mentoring to be formal it has to be written down, or at least the progress

Could you share better your experience? And why do you think it's a pointless exercise?

by mk89 7y ago
True, indeed. If you want, you can somewhat prevent. Although, to be honest, typically videos are buffered and even cached from the browser, so logging incoming web traffic won't help there. Preventing outgoing traffic might help. Prev

Or you download it, flag it, and watch it at home once you are alone. I never thought about the fact that the reviewers can have bad intentions. Interesting....

From the context they come this is quite something, I would say. It's a start up that made it to the front page of HN, product hunt, etc... :)

To me it sounds clearly like a political move. Technically it's nonsense. I hope now Azure invests that money to actually offer a decent cloud service that can compete with Amazon.

That's what obviously the article doesn't mention. Money is not all, and I know plenty of white people too who could not handle the "arrogant Swiss people", that they had to leave the country. You can't generalize

Not only that, try to switch it on and off a couple of times. You'll see that when the blue light is ON after having used the blue filter for like a couple of seconds, you'll feel like someone punching your eyes! It's almost

How is it different from playing music, reading books or DIY hobbies? I don't get it.

They are humans, of course they like and dislike doing things. However, that doesn't define work. You can also dislike your work. Still, you are paid for it.

And what about cooks? Do they also overwork in their free time when they make their own food?
774.
by mk89 7y ago
Why should it be work? Work is what I am paid for. Anything else is either your human needs or hobbies. I prefer a colleague's response to my question whether he has side projects: I don't like to do the same as I do (at work) her

So you are suggesting unpaid overwork, right? I agree that it can be educational, however, it can also give your boss the false pretense that you are gonna do it "outside the sprint". I personally did that mistake in the past, and

San Pellegrino is an italian brand, and it's quite common in Europe, not just in the south. Most of the time, you'll find soft drinks from that brand rather than water, though. Edit: Was an italian brand until Nestlé bought it, it
