Well, you cannot become a billionaire by just working hard. A billionaire might have had an idea at the right time. For YC startups, the money comes from somebody else. Does having an idea justify to earn 100,000x the amount of somebody els

Haven't checked those numbers, but if that 20-80% paid worker's wages, that was a good thing. Also, Amazon reduces the number of players in the market and reduces the number of jobs virtually everywhere for some hotspots. A free m

So not only Bezoz is exploiting people. You are, too.

I don't find bugs - I write them. ;-)

Okay, thanks. And why would it be faster? Optimizing !! in the JS engine seems trivial to me.

As I'm not keeping up with recent progress of the language, how would you do that today?

But in my experience, that's usually only affecting a small part of a system. If you could save 90% by such optimizations, you're at a very early stage of your application. Otherwise, this would've been spotted earlier. But i

That might work until there's somebody who uses double negation !! for some reason. But this might only be common in JavaScript, so YMMV.

This! I know that it's often tempting to demonstrate your abilities in the software you create. But introducing abstractions and DRY code is only necessary, when you have a complex problem with nany repeating parts that would become un

Why would your employer pay you to build and test ARM images when the server they're running on is AMD64? Okay, let's be realistic: they'll probably never find out. But still this is wasted effort when you could just as well

Yep, so if you're a developer and buy a Macbook with the M1, all the potential performance gains would be lost when depending on common Docker images. That's quite sad. (It would at least be a huge problem for me. I mostly develop

Just to go into one of your points, I'm not sure if women on average perform worse in negotiations. Probably they are only expected to perform worse in a job and thus have to overcome that gap in any negotiation, which makes it harder

I read that as: "Our database for learning any AI model we'd like to have has grown big enough, so we no longer have use for you being the product. Pay us to be able to grow dataset." ;-)

Why are your daughters better off financially? This is against what I'd expect, so I'm truly curious.

I guess any piece of code will have someone who finds it horrifying. I prefer long, self documenting identifiers over short (often misleading) ones any time.

Somebody who is too lazy to choose a good variable name in IntelliJ would also have chosen a bad (or even worse) variable name without the tooling. I don't buy that argument. For class names it might be true that long compound names ar

And still I feel that tooling for Kotlin lacks behind the tooling for Java (but still far superior to many other languages).

Btw, the German word for glucose is Traubenzucker, which literally translates to "grape sugar". I'm not sure if it's also common in English.

Yes, agreed. This could only be one of many factors.

Finally a way to know if you should try to reset your password before creating a new account. It sometimes happens that I don't remember I've already signed up for some site and forgot about it entirely.

A few years ago, I had this idea of using identicons to visualize the host part of URLs: https://vorba.ch/2018/url-security-identicons.html I still think this could help people realize when they are being phished at le

I know. That was meant as a joke somehow. But nevertheless, you can email the authors and tell them about your concerns. I think there's a process of improving RFCs via errata.

It's an early request for comments , so I guess you should find out how to respond to the RFC properly, if you don't know already.

Why are there two meanings of QUIC in the first place?
