To answer your question directly: If you're grepping through source code, you generally do not care about caches, backups, personal workspace configs, node_modules, "compiled" output (JS projects generally "compile&quot

People generally develop tools for their own needs. I'm not saying "hey, if you want one that uses the defaults you believe are best, create your own", but just keep some empathy for open source developers. :)

updatedb is expensive to run and is usually run by a cron job, whereas something like mdfind on macos uses spotlight, which is kept up to date with all filesystem changes (or at least reasonably fast). Anybody know of something like that fo

by neura 4y ago
If you happen to be using macOS, there's mdfind, which uses the spotlight database which is always kept up to date, unlike locate/updatedb, where updatedb is expensive to run, even if you've run it recently. I have yet to fin

I feel that's mostly true, but there may be many other similar factors. If you make "affordable" housing ("for who?" is the correct question), then you have more people that can't afford to spend as much, whil

It's simple. Most video conferencing apps that I've used will let you know that your mic is muted when you try to speak and your mic is muted. If you think they're doing something else, then don't use it. If you think

Is this any more "scummy" than Peña blaming the police for not stopping him when he was clearly breaking the law? He's not directly blaming the police for his injury but the implication is clear as day. If they would have c

I don't have a lot of experience working with data/ml teams, so this is good to know. Thanks. :)

I'm sure there are plenty of quotes out there that are very similar to this, but kudos in stating what most of us (software engineers) already think, with such clarity. I laughed. I cried. I remembered that this is never going to ch

I hear what you're saying. I would argue that review boards, licensing, etc are only relevant because of the stakes. How to enforce it becomes irrelevant if you can't sell anybody on the idea that it's important in the first

This is what I've noticed in (as far as I can remember) all of the comments here that outline their career change. The career change... it's always _to_ programming, but never _away from_ programming. I sometimes feel burned out

Or, on the other hand, I've seen companies offering to enter you into gift card drawings to relate your positive experience with them on glassdoor, etc. :eyeroll: To me, glassdoor and the like are similar to Amazon reviews, you can&#

I think this quote really shows exactly the point you're making. "I bet there is many an undergrad CS student who doesn’t really understand the algorithm they are trying to write a program for. They read the requirements once, and

Server not responding appropriately. Well, technically, for some endpoints, it's just not responding at all. In the client side javascript, you call a function and pass it a callback and the callback is never called because their API

by neura 5y ago
One problem here is that the specific way in which the API is down right now (for an app that I work on, at least) is that when you make a login request through the JS-SDK, to get authorization to use other features/APIs, it never res

by neura 5y ago
The problem here is that the JS SDK encompasses all of their products. They don't have a different script or bundle to download for each thing. You just configure your code to point to their JS SDK url, with some params for which ver

Is the implication here that seeing that they have a degree is better than what "lots and lots of places" do? Personally, I think a degree doesn't say much about a person's ability to do what is required in the job. Mayb

Another way to look at this is if CDNs don't allow Google, nobody is going to want to use them. Their content doesn't get indexed and anybody doing a search is going to get directed to someone else that doesn't put their con
