One of my more embarrassing interviews was early in my career, after I'd be developing HFT trading systems. I'd never worked on a web app in my life, and was asked the difference between 4xx and 5xx codes. I had no idea. Something

And change the sshd port. I use my birth year. 0 brute force attempts in the logs after that.

Is that even legal in the UK? As far as I knew, UK has a statutory 20 days off for all salaried workers (28 with holidays). Is it 20 days off plus unlimited? Which isn't quite the same.

Oh yes, I tried a Honda E for a few months and the emergency brake system was incredibly liberal. I live in a city with lots of parked cars and unusual road dips/bumps. There was a turn into my kid's school road that would emergen

Every generation of parents seems to have some moral panic. It's a way for those people to feel like they're in control (because losing control is scary and uncomfortable). But, well, news flash, teenagers are all about rebelling

I know you mean well. But I strongly urge you to reconsider your parenting here. You should not be going through your teenager's text messages... that is absolutely insane. My parents were kind of similar and I had a very negative expe

Yes, because obviously the government should play king maker with companies. What could possibly go wrong? Governments are definitely infallible and make the best decisions based on non biased information. I suggest they take an annual popu

The law is almost a moving target, based on the whims of the current political zeitgeist and public opinion. And law isn't binary, yes/no. Much US law is very murky and ambiguous. It takes litigation and court action to actually f

I don't think casual users care at all about graphic quality. Just look at how the Switch or Wii exploded over every other game console. Same thing for games like Roblox. Graphic quality is purely an enthusiast niche target. If you wan

What do you mean by blurry? Like screen door effect? If it's actually blurry, likely the IPD is wrong or you haven't positioned the headset correctly. Although, I suppose it would be great for the lenses to auto position themselve

I have one of those small Intel based nuc like devices and run x86 openwrt on that. It works great on a gigabit ipv6/ipv4 line. I also replaced the proprietary bios with coreboot for complete security.

Everyone in this comment thread seems to have a different definition of staff engineer. And that is kind of the problem with this term. It's almost devoid of any meaning now, like the ubiquitous VP title at a bank. This book should pro

The callbacks in Erlang are for the most part optional. I think gen_server only requires init defined. Elixir is a cool language but I prefer Erlang.

It does look pretty weird if you have only ever worked in an imperative language. If one can get past the initial impression though, they'll find it's actually a very simple, nice language. Much simpler than Scala/C++ and pro

Yeah kinda. Akka is an excellent option if you’re in the JVM ecosystem. I find it’s encumbered by a lot of complexity and cost though - which kinda comes with Scala and the JVM. It’s also a kitchen sink that tries to be everything for every

I’ve been doing Erlang professionally for the last few months. I have to say, it’s a breath of fresh air after decades of Java/Scala/ /golang/. It’s unfortunate it isn’t more popular. OTP and Erlang make it so easy to bu

I've actually been planning a career shift in 5-10 years doing Japanese translation, so it's interesting to read your comment. I have no delusions about getting paid a lot or only working on creative stuff, but it's still som

Hah this sounds familiar. My life is a series of waves of high productivity and career growth, followed by troughs of burnout and depression. I just don’t know if I’m wired to be hyper productive, or if anyone is, really.

This is Enterprise Standard/Plus. You could get truly unlimited storage for about $15/month. Lots of people/companies have been taking advantage of this for quite a while. Many users with 1 PB+ of data. Lots of users with hun

The isometric Zeldas on 2DS/GBA are all much superior experiences, especially for a commute imo. Link Between Worlds is one of my favourite games of all time. The 3D Zeldas have always been kind of meh in my experience. Although I did

I spent 2 years using NixOS as my sole development OS and I learned a ton. But every little thing is a battle. Prior to that I used Arch Linux for like 8 years and it was so much more pleasant to use for day to day dev (due to the great pac

Indeed. You can even argue that scrum is one implementation of Kanban. Kanban afaik just describes having a swim lane task board. The process for managing that board is left as an exercise to the reader.

Do you have a phone number? Do you find that confusing? Imagine if you had to claim a globally unique username to use a phone. Is that better? Discriminators are, in my mind, are a clever hybrid. You have a unique name plus a short randomiz

Yeah, this happens on literally every other popular platform without discriminators. It feels like a huge regression in usability. Discriminators are one of the things that make Discord cool. And it seems like the only reasonable solution t

That's precisely the problem with many landlords. Being a landlord is not free money without any work, even though many think it is.
