Just going to share a sentiment I've felt while diving into Golang over several months. The canonical way to do things feels like it's all over the place in several areas of Golang. Not in the fundamental "this is how you sho

Does anyone have a feel for how good flutter's documentation for canonical approaches to common use cases are now? The last time I tried it, even a simple task like changing the UI when returning from a login screen was unknown territo

My pathway to getting a job at Buffer starts partially because of what I learnt in udacity's basic web development course. I had a degree in software engineering already but I knew nothing about actual web development itself. I'd

Many movies do an "art of <movie name>" book. Those are usually the best source of this. To answer the question about articles of this nature. Very rare. This person's entire blog is a treasure trove. He even worked at

As someone whose daily work happens on k8s, I'd say you better be paining a lot before you move to k8s. I take great care to avoid this, but if you aren't careful, you can end up "feeling" productive on k8s without actua

Bit late, but replying to this because my comment does have missing context. Most of the repos we have are large enough that downloading three individual files is faster than cloning the whole repo. Even with a shallow clone with a depth of

I get pretty frustrated with it. I work almost exclusively with shortcuts, and after a while the interface decides to forget to respond to my commands. Example - /,"is:unread to:me",Enter. Should search for unread mails to me

My god. This. As a father of one I constantly see this. I take my 2 year old son to the park regularly. I carry a small knapsack and leave the phone in it with it configured to ring only if my wife calls (basically customized priority notif

On this note, without mentioning names, I'm going to share two real world examples of people I know turning businesses into profitable side projects in very very crowded markets. One is so profitable in fact that the side project is ab

Did anyone else notice the tag line at the bottom of the site? "Cast. Play. Sell" Has it always been that? If not, does this signal a new direction for the winamp product that includes a streaming service?

Glitch by the makers of slack. I had two usernames which I played under to experience the various talent trees. The game is in my opinion unique up to this day as a shared multiplayer world where the odds of meeting a random who was friendl

Good question. No. I log during every stage. To clarify how it works, it's not a minute by minute logging. It's logging at every stage that one might normally pause and think. "Hmm.. ok that step is done, now on to the next..

I'm going to share my tip which has worked excellently for me in the past few months (this is after years of iterating to find a solution). I have a note book, and I write timestamped logs into it as I go along. The emotions I feel whe

The essence of this question is worth talking about. To clarify something first, this was not a programming job. I was managing a team of content uploaders for an e-commerce company. I used software in multiple ways to keep the team at the

This article really highlights how odd our methods of valuing output are. Ultimately if someone is idling for 6 years because they've written a program to do their job for them, who cares? They are delivering the same output which hope

So for people like myself who don't know much about this stuff, I was wondering what we can learn to figure out if the routers we are using are compromised in any way. On a similar tangent, is there any way we can detect any editing be

Going to go off on a tangent here. Yes and no. By raw numbers it certainly is in a state of decline. But put in context, it may have been inevitable. It has everything going against it. DotA is a team game. It's incredibly complex. Not

This is very disappointing to read. It tells a lot of what the behind the scenes must look like. Also good to see a mention of Sri Lanka in there. It took a network block to finally start seeing some level of response to hate speech reports

Would not recommend upgrading. I tried it out in a VM, and it's not that it's bad. It's just how solid 16.04 is. It's a joy to work in that environment, and if I'm going to upgrade my OS when things are so smooth, i

I for one welcome Apple's premium on hardware in general. It seems to make for a company that keeps its business model based on just their hardware. This is off topic so I apologise, but I've become rather disillusioned with how m
