Well, at the time of the pandemic, our prime minister tweeted important changes to policies to have effect in the next few days. Whether or not that was what the platform was meant for, it was what it was. And as far as I heard, our country

I had a coworker like that once. The trouble is that no-one but him could maintain it. So, after he already left for another project (within the same company), the managers called him back in to continue adding features to it. In my view, i

You are right about the 429, of course, and my more "advanced" clients take it into account and only reissue requests after the requested backoff time. The smaller "stupid" clients error out, as they should, because a du

Hmm, I don't think it's that purist. All my HTTP clients have the logic that 4xx is a non-retryable error, i.e. if I repeat the request I will always get the same response unless something is changed, whereas 5xx means that someth

avLike still has two different meanings ;) Actually, I am not sure that having different meanings of the same word in different contexts is really the problematic part causing ambiguity in conversations. For example, sarcasm is a much more

The better alternative is cordless, no? At least some products do use that (e.g. cordless mouse). Of course, wireless is now so widely used it might not make sense to fight it :)

I agree that it is a good effort. I don't agree with the criticism. It really depends on who the target audience is. There's been a lot of scare mongering in the news about it lately and I think the last part tries to address that

Ok, but what is "tech" in this context? I can imagine those people being hired for infra stuff in other segments but the percentage seems high for programmer-level stuff.

Nit: not to write but to run. The cost of development is not considered in these calculations.

by prerok 4y ago
Agreed. Expecting people to understand context from StackOverflow is the same as expecting people to understand what they were given by ChatGPT.

by prerok 4y ago
It can be a false expectation, but it should not be. I think that when 5xx errors happen the logging/alerting system should notify the developers/support/infra teams. So, somebody should start working on it ASAP, or whatever

5 weeks? It's actually 3 years.

To be honest, I have no idea what you are talking about. Certainly, there is merit in practical calculations when we are all this close to the ground where it all seems either flat or at least geo-centric. But... the movements of the other

I think that the real question is whether the death of the universe by cool down will happen before the arrow of time is reversed. To me it seems more like it will just slow down and then finally stop.
435.
by prerok 4y ago
Well, of course not :) Entropy as direction of time just means that the chaos on the whole increases. So, to create an ordered structure, like a cell organism, the by-product is more chaos around it.

Thanks for the link. You put it much better than I did :)

I don't really get what the author is driving at. Sure, each system has quirks so designing a portable FFI is difficult to say the least. But what's the alternative? In my experience I have seen plenty of standards violated and do
438.
by prerok 4y ago
Yeah, and that has another problem: developer who code fast but don't think things through would have plenty of issues opened against their code. They would probably be fixing them as well so their close count would be much higher than

by prerok 4y ago
Exactly. At one of my previous workplaces there was a cumulative effect of misattributed error messages so the actions to perform were often of no help. Not even to mention the fact that new or changed error messages caused a landslide in c

Yes and any reader citing it would be best advised to check the page history and comments section. Teaching that to children would also be a good way of showing and exposing these vandalisms. They might learn to use it better then. Outright

But... that's just the thing. You had a goal, not a long-term plan. With that you would have set yourself with activities that stretched the span of your endeavors, say for half a year each week I lose 1 kg. I do that by eating this, e

Sure it can: https://golangbot.com/webassembly-using-go/ Never tried it, though :)

Right. And they want their work to be recognizable, so they would be hired by the next company, so they create similar logos :)

I saw that in the 90s but people were definitely doing it in the 70s as well. I am not aware of any stories of cracks or shattered windscreens because of it, though I am sure that if you do that with boiling water and not-so-frozen windscre

by prerok 4y ago
It was definitely not boiling but hot from tap, so could be about 60°C, and, yeah, somehow the windshield did survive it. It's probably not that bad because you actually pour the water on the frosted windscreen so most of the heat woul

What I don't get is why there is no mention of evaporating effect on the energy level of the system. Evaporating water takes quite a lot of energy so the rest of the water is cooled: > During evaporation, energetic molecules leave t

It's been more than a decade since I worked in Prolog, so I cannot give you a direct example but can try to answer :) Basically, Prolog is declarative programming. You can attach properties to your data and then define relations betwee

This is a known phenomenon: https://www.sclhealth.org/blog/2019/06/the-real-health-benef... Though, I do remember reading about a collection of studies that failed to reproduce and this was one of the hypothe

Hmm, I think I see your point. So, for example, if most numbers were something like 0.1, 0.25, 3.25 and the like, they would take 4 bytes in most cases, whereas storing doubles would always take 8 bytes. We don't want to take float32 b
