Point being made ain’t that managers approve merges, it’s that the feature is generally something you may want to enforce formal peer review once your team grows beyond 5-6 people. In contrast like SAST and DAST is far more common to be a

It’s done by macOS and shouldn’t be something the application notices, can you give some examples of applications which don’t work well with scaling enabled?

I kinda disagree, Oracle/HP (personal experience) and Google/IBM (extremely good friends) both have career tracks for IC which go up to ‘Distinguished Engineer’ level, and where compensation can be equivalent to a VP on the manage

Bachelors in CS from Stanford. Pass the interview. Decent GPA. Internship somewhere interesting certainly wouldn’t hurt. That’s not an unusual offer for smart software engineers coming in from top colleges, where you’re being hired to work

One thing I’d give guidance on is there’s no real “finish line” to learning something like Java. You’re on a journey from an apprentice to a master. I somewhat routinely hire people to work on Java codebases that have 10+ years working in P

You’d need to legally be able to work in the US, which can be a little tricky. Assuming you’re not already a citizen or a lawful permanent resident, your best routes to investigate would be an H-1B petition (now is a good time to talk to

Au contraire, I sincerely appreciate the personal touch. Probably nothing to do with them, but he’s offered a conduit for them to send additional details, and committed to looking into it. That’s more than OP seems to have got through offic

Why wouldn’t Wikipedia hedge against this outcome by extending their domain for 10 years tomorrow, and paying $100 to do that?

Slack has a $12bn market cap, therefore “pretty well”. I think competition in this space is good but I use and like Slack over Teams. I know at least two companies who pay Slack over $20MM a year, and have over 100k users provisioned onto E

I recently bought a Thinkpad P1 Gen 2 with i9 9880H, 64GB RAM, 2x 2TB NVME, 15” OLED, basically all the options ticked, including a 3 year warranty with equivalent properties to AppleCare+. It ran about $4700 before tax but after one of tho

They’re selling Teams at $4/mo per user and I guess if they go after enterprise we’ll see additional tiers with features aimed specifically at that. It doesn’t take too many deals with huge companies who need cross-platform to get to $

Where has this story been publicly discussed? What’s the origin of this rumor that GitHub “had to sell” due to financial stability concerns?

I’ve run every developer release of macOS Catalina and none of them have fixed this so far. I hope they do fix it.

It’s a factor — yes. I want control of my hardware. When I travel on holiday or business I usually take an Apple TV and a HDMI cable. Bring your own media, vs. the hotel setups which are usually awful. It is common for hotels to use WiFi wh

I don’t think this is down to macOS version, it seems related to the vintage of the hardware. I have a Late 2016 15” which allows me to change the MAC address, and anything 2018+ does not seem to allow it. Both the 2018 and 2019 model retur

It looks like PSREF [1] for that platform says 64GB RAM maximum, possibly because it only has two DIMM slots and there's nobody making 64GB modules at the moment. According to Intel [2] most of the 9th Gen can support 128GB, perhaps it

It was preceded by GitHub:FI, but Enterprise has existed since I worked there in 2013. Definitely not a new capability for them and it’s actually really nice to administer, e.g. very easy high-availability setup and excellent documentation.

Hasn’t he been selling good amounts of stock annually for a while now? I thought he’d decided to put $1bn a year into Blue Origin? Protected by a paywall but why’s this news? Isn’t it also a fairly small % of his overall holding in Amazon?
