Ah, that makes more sense. I was imagining them getting in to multiple random fights across the city!

As a younger guy, I used to really try hard to impress at interviews, regardless of the poor behaviour of the interviewers. Once I got a bit more senior, my tolerance for squirm-inducing tactics reduced drastically. By this time, I had cond

Of topic, but the guy has an interestingly apt name given his job, until you look up the meaning of his surname. I believe Fleischman translates to butcher, so he's "Forrest Butcher", which makes it wholly inappropriate given

GraphQL, much like ORMs, is reasonably efficient (and nice to use) for the less complex stuff, but extremely inefficient for the more complex stuff. A hybrid solution is where I usually end up.

That's a great example, with the arrival time estimates. I wonder whether this effect itself would diminish as more people get to know about it...

How do you automate setting that environment variable?

I have mentioned this a number of times here on HN, but each time I'm told by other users that it just appears that way because the topic is fresh in my mind... I don't think that's the case.

I imagine the pressure exerted by the smaller form factor vehicle will be significantly greater though...

I disagree. The fact that someone is willing to buy a stake in a company suggests the company has some potential. The fact that someone having bought a company is willing to dump their entire ownership so quickly suggests the company may be

I seem to find happiness when I'm not concerned with finding it, and just fully involved in the situation/moment. Perhaps this is because I don't really pay attention to my happiness level when I'm actually happy, and so

I wonder how this would look if we consider LDL, HDL and triglycerides individually... Perhaps that would be more telling than just considering total cholesterol.

Almost every criticism above could be applied to the current mainstream financial system too.

I believe the sanctions may well trigger a change in the Russian public's opinion of Putin. Right now, my Russian friends tell me that state propaganda is so strong that a significant proportion of the Russian population believe the Uk

It is annoying to see titles such as this, since SPAs are most certainly not a mistake (the article itself points out that the Youtube SPA is not a mistake). The truth is most devs struggle to implement SPAs well. To implement an SPA well,

Out of genuine interest, how do you know so much about this stuff?

I actually think high quality programmers will always be in high demand. Poor programmers will get found out sooner, as the general population becomes more technical.

My sister is T1 diabetic (diagnosed at 11). Your description is extremely accurate. I used to think that if you control all the parameters, then you can control diabetes. Thinking in this way is incorrect, and my lack of understanding cause

Haha, indeed. Many times they've just started a company, and that's it. No proper customers, no real revenue. Just a random, unproven lofty idea and a "brand". Very Theranos like, and similarly doomed to fail.

Large outsourcing companies are not really hired for talent (at least not from what I saw in the investment banking world). They're hired as scapegoats, and attached to an already failed project. Then they're publically blamed for

I know of people who have paid to get on that list. That cheapened it for me, and made me see it for what it was... What was more alarming was that it wasn't even that much money (around 5k USD, I believe).

I guess I just like my tech stack to be as open and unrestrictive as possible. The argument that Apple provides more safeguards is a bit flimsy in my opinion. I honestly don't know what people think Apple is protecting them from, espec

While the security guard doesn't actively catch criminals, he still may act as a deterrent. In that sense, he's still somewhat useful. Interesting article nonetheless!

Interesting - just looked at the things I've upvoted and they're mostly fat fingered items... If more people report the same thing, it might be worth improving the UI a little.

I would imagine that your team picking WP or Drupal and attempting to shoehorn in your use case had more to do with your projects failing than PHP itself. I see that happen a lot in the wild, and not just with PHP. I bet you could have pick
