The real WTF is: Apparently there is a place called "Unalaska" in Alaska !

AFAIK, the problem with rice is methane not CO2.

I love the optimism in this. Just hope "intellectual property" and corrupt politicians will not fuck this up. Unfortunately the latter is very likely to happen here in Germany. Our pork industry for example is abhorrent.

Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Yes, good conferences are fun. Fun and human connections are important for a healthy community. Hybrids could work; Live stream the talks and gather locally to watch them together.

So you are saying it could be worse. However, if they raised those cows properly it would even help with fighting climate change. But I'm sure they are going down the animal factory route instead.

China may be on the right side with clean energy, but also on the wrong side with massively increasing their methane output, increasing desertification, etc: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/mar/29

If you can answer the question how to measure that value for any given pair of worker and company, I don't think you will need a job anymore. :)

IMHO "Know your stuff" in this case means specialize (in tech) and find a niche (in an industry/domain and the market/clients you work with). Speaking from experience of doing the opposite for the better part of a deca

I believe this one should be relevant to your interests. Best non-fiction book I've ever read. https://leanpub.com/developerhegemony

You are right, "almost always the case" was a baseless claim and binary wheels are better than nothing. However, how many projects still have "psycopg2" in their setup.py (or is it requirements.txt? ;) instead of "p

Unless C libraries are involved. Which is almost always the case.

This is the risk people take when they are too lazy to host their content themselves.

AFAIK he was kicked off Youtube. Which I think is fine and not at odds with supporting free speech.

In what parallel universe are you and how do I find the next wormhole to get there? :)

AFAIK, the design goals of Rust are better security and correctness in general, than C++. Have you looked at Rust and decided that it does not achieve that goal?

by passiveincomelg 8y ago
Are you one of the three people in the world who can write C++ code without security holes? If not, I'd say it's worth it. That was half joking. :) The half serious answer I can give is: Do you have a job offer you want to take or

Sure, that vaguely makes sense and doing this is better than doing nothing. Maybe it's just the first step in training those juniors to one day work on the big fat deals.

Still makes no sense to me whatsoever. Punishing non-mistakes like that doesn't magically make future mistakes disappear. Training an activity will probably reduce the error rate in that particular activity, but it doesn't do anyt

Maybe the bar is lower than you think. As your comment demonstrates, you are able to form complete sentences that are either correct in terms of spelling and grammar, or so close that I can't tell the difference. I don't know wher

Yes. Europe is contracting land. Forget those pointless permanent jobs. ;) What's funny is that being a contractor seems to be a disadvantage when applying to some US companies. I sometimes had the impression that interviewers were thi

I was thinking the same. Oslo also seemed incredibly low when I did some research. In both cities you can easily spend $30 on one dish in a regular restaurant.
