People don't list "music lover" in their resumes. Nor does the fact that he's a professional CEO means he's tone deaf (pun intended) to the company's vision, or that he will destroy it (due to malice or musical

Good point, forgot to mention the name of the truss rod and the saddle height - which is arguably the most influential parameter in overall action. I also second the opinion that it's quite approachable if you're patient and metho

Basically: intonation and action. I'll explain. Guitars are made of wood, an organic material, which is very susceptible to environment changes (humidity and temperature). So, after time passes, the wood may expand or contract, which c

As you have basically mentioned yourself - nothing stops it. Many people, with varying degrees of understanding of the studies involved (from almost none to very deep), believed high-carb-low-fat diets to be the best option before high-fat-

Maybe a form of structured procastination? Fooling your brain that you are procastinating (you are avoiding the #1 task after all), but you keep having output.

It seems that the difference is that you won't need to set up a DB server, maintain it, and keep feeding transaction data from Stripe into it. While this may not be terribly complex, it opens up the chance to run SQL on your business d

Or by hand. Does not mean there's no value in a streamlined solution.

Can't say I'm 100% sure either. Certainly having nice buzzwords in the CV can be beneficial, but I would guess would be more common in certain corporate structures/areas/sizes. I have no experience in being labelled a &#

This only holds if you believe that deliberately making decisions that will cost the company more than they should is in your career interests. As said in this topic - it's true that in some places, resume-driven development pays off

That's almost exactly what I do, except for using a big monolithic app for the entire backend (called "core"), and making "services" a package with several modules inside. It also resembles very much what I see in J

Not sure about that, as others have mentioned. At 2M monthly active users, bandwidth alone would be way more than $5 on GCE/AWS, no? How much bandwidth did you use?

Did the CF edge nodes serve only static resources? Or also cached API calls somehow?

I'm not aware of architectural patterns for service methods in Django (would like to find some as well), but what I did was to somewhat mimic a Java structure. All the project is in one single app, which I unimaginatively called "

This is a straw man, IMO. Obviously, in production, the actual JSONs will interact very little with humans. But there's still development, debugging, etc. So you will need to write small cases during development, tweak existing cases,

That called my attention as well, but I figured they would be in semi-open-space: some privacy provided by the shell to the left of the chair and maybe one behind the chair, but open to the front and to the right of the chair. As in, maybe

Mind Maps are definitely not a great way to be a 'canonical store' of information, but that does not mean that they are useless at all. I find them to be great at brainstorming, for example. Dumping several related aspects of a pr

There are a couple reasons to do it manually and/or outsite GKE, notably: 1) Cost. In VPSs like Digital Ocean/Scaleway, there's usually a large network out transfer quota included in the price, which just isn't there wit

Who exactly is 'they' in this case? Also, what is the 'public utility' involved here? Wasn't the root comment talking about manufacturers?

I agree with 'bad_user' here, to some extent. That is enough to give a manager a pause , but not to immediately dismiss it as a bad idea. Most professionals will agree that it's unrealistic to believe that developer-typing-c

Why not?

It totally is working, but merely 'wishing' a product exists does not, IMO, imply that: a) they think manufacturers have any obligation (moral or legal) to do so b) that it should exist c) that more people would use it Maybe OP

Fair question. I want mainly to optimize my own workflow, maybe try some new 'ways' do develop software - editing remote vs local, building remote vs local, testing remote vs local, manual "printf" debugging vs debugger,

That's very interesting, thanks for your perspective. I was familiar with Piper (from having skimmed the very article you linked), but didn't go much in depth about how it impacts dev environment. Debugging, I tend to agree with y

I second that, it's extremely powerful, but not the tool I would reach for a quick last-minute presentation, as well.

Not only technically, but also practically, since many tools, libraries and service APIs accept and produce the Z as the TZ identifier for UTC.

I don't use white noise, but brown noise, which does not have as much high-frequency content, which gets tiring.

There really needs to be a tradeoff here. Control is great, but it can't be so black-on-white as to implying that nothing at all would convince you to give up control all the way down to kernel features. Plus, it's a template, not

Of course it doesn't, I was just talking about why the government may have taken interest in this person, and not on countless other accounts with similar views.

According to the news article in the other post, it seems the account author identifies him/herself as a gov employee: "In the suit, Twitter writes that @ALT_uscis has purported to be a dissenting member of US Citizenship and Immi
