Well, yeah that was expressly known about CoffeeScript. It pushed JS to the future and was expected to be not useful whenever JS gained more features, but that would take a long time. And some of the syntax features weren't adopted, wh

Yeah a lot of complexity is driven by interactivity. If a component needs to become interactive that presents some new problems, especially if then other components need to update based on that as well. Lots of GUI apps get bogged down by c

This is the way a lot of people feel lately, and it's nothing to do with being a dinosaur. It's a whole movement. I'm wary though, because lots of things start nicely but fail to manage complexity of even a moderately sized a

I don't feel that way either. But the 40+ year old devs when I was a fresh faced kid where from a whole different world. One guy wouldn't let go of Novell running on DOS. There are hard paradigm switches sometimes in tech, but man

There are lots of good people who are unemployed through not fault of their own. The goal is (as always) to find good candidates. Because many companies have a weird aversion to those not already working, the pool will be stronger by includ

Sure, one can make a new function. That's what I do, too, but then I end up greatly missing function overloading. In the example's case I might end up making a ReplaceAll function. It creates namespace clutter. Function overloadin

Interesting, but boiling all of our water would use a lot of energy. And most filters don't get small enough to remove microplastics and PFAs. Reverse osmosis systems do though, and you can get several that will install under your sink

The USPS is treated differently by Congress and is required to fund itself, unlike basically any other government service. It's unfortunate that something that was historically trustworthy has been essentially turned into some kind of

One thing: try to find a path towards delivering solid improvements as early as possible, phase out the big stuff and work on a drum beat of consistent improvements. Large projects have lots of vulnerabilities, but I've seen many get s

People got excited about it as a pattern, but usually apps don't have that many things that really have to go in the background. And once you do, it becomes really hard to ensure transactional safety across that boundary. Usually that&

I don't doubt it but you can do that on one computer with k8s too, these are not at odds.

I don't know why this is being downvoted, this is my experience too. I don't mess with networking or volumes in k8s but it gives me a lot of stuff out of the box for when I need it later. It takes a couple of minutes to copy and p

Yeah I mean.. I have nearly hired people before who turned out to be scammers, no coding skills at all. I need some kind of signal before turning off the recruiting pipeline, emailing a bunch of people "no thanks," and making a co

If somebody has a problem with it, they can always choose the live coding. I try to find ways to make the process more equitable.

I have had this problem and my assignments really stress that it doesn't even have to be done, we can look at in the meeting and possibly finish small parts together or talk about work that'd be done. But still people do sometimes

"Take home assignment with a time limit." What's your concern there? (Honest question!) I feel terrible about asking for home assignments but I feel like it's good for people like myself who are terrible about coding liv

I get shot down with "we use KDB here" Well, so fundamentally a decision has been made already. You got shot down. Unless there's some significant new data that might change that decision, it is what it is. The next

That's not what I said. They did offer it, then removed it after I had made the decision to use them partly based on the Open Source self-hosting nature of the project. They used Open Source to bait and switch me. I don't even nee

I tried to self-host recently and there was a lot of brokenness, and they discontinued the helm chart. They clearly don't want you to actually self host anymore and it's a shame. I have security requirements and can't yet aff

Cloudflare tunnels are super convenient and provide lots of auth mechanisms. If you set up a tunnel using cloudflared and proxy the IP through cloudflare, there's nothing even exposed directly to the internet. You can even have differe

I'm not optimistic at all, but there is little else I can do. Best case scenario I can prevent the further spread of my data while it bit rots and becomes less useful. I will join the class action that is sure to come out of this, too.

I was upset about this invasion of my privacy when I found I had been opted into this program somehow -- I would not have accepted it if I knew what it was. I immediately changed that setting in the GM app then requested my info be deleted

Poor guy (/s) complains it's hard to sell data they gained surreptitiously. I mean, screw him, people like this is why you have to run 10x the hardware to serve the actual customers. I'm not sure what perspective is gained fr

Except they've gone away from standard sizes and replaceable head units in order to push people to new cars, so the software integration has become a driver of car sales and a big part of the "good car" experience. You can&#x

Kubernetes scales down pretty well. I don't use network layers or crazy ingress setups. I keep it simple and Kubernetes works great. What's wonderful is that when I work on multiple clouds, my knowledge transfers just fine. I don&
