Its great being in an egalitarian country there is less poverty but middle classes have much less money than America, someone has to pay for it and it isnt the billionaires.

Bing is great too because it encourages competition in the search space.

scripts are the antithesis of modern software development. No Unit testing, No CI, no monitoring, no consistency, often no source control. Appeals to me as a hacker but only my scripts are intelligible - which is a bad sign. :)

I did an internet search for Rust jobs and it was near-zero. Would be nice but reality calls.

Agreed I like .NET I've modified the original to make it any generic technology that isn't hot in SV.

The most important thing for developers is will they have the skills to get the next job or will they be working on technology that no one wants in a few years time. If FANG companies are hiring people with SPA, JS, Python experience it mak

Yeah I will never trust a third party password system. Writing down on paper works great. For most unimportant accounts use oauth or make up a random password and forget it - if you need it again reset the password.

Yeah maybe a widely used app like Jenkins makes sense to use, but I'd definitely prefer a platform everyone knew. Docker does help too.

Anyone have a good open source replacement for Autosys or controlM? Should be easy to replace but every enterprise I've seen still pays for one of those.

Harvard and the Ivies have been doing what they do for centuries and they're still successful. I'd suggest they know what they are doing when they let in privileged kids. If I could get into an Ivy I'd probably like to have s

Ugh, you haven't experience pain until you've worked on a project which has a bunch of different languages because Johnny wanted to use Scala, Freddy loved PERL and Sally was learning Elixir on the side. They all left and the new

I think legacy admissions are a good thing for the organization and the other students who go there. People in the US have a close attachment to their university, they would like their children to go there and they donate a lot of money. Ta

Agreed, if a self driving car hits me and breaks my neck, who do I sue to pay my bills and care? The driver? The car manufacturer? Or the self driving software company? Right now with a driver its clear.

You're right, just the last 10-30 years CA pop growth has stopped while TX has continued at 20%/decade.

To me its fascinating the growth of state's pop. TX is sucking up people so fast. NY has hardly changed in 70 years. State 1850 1900 1950 2020 NY 3 7 17 19 IL 1 4.8 8.7 13 CA .1 1.5 10.5 39 T

Wow its great to see an actual working webassembly site in the wild. https://todo-blazornative-wasm.platform.uno/ Ive been looking for a while. Its a bunch slower than I was expecting. I was hoping to be impressed, now I&#x

Yeah you're right. There is nothing I can do, must be the Australian government's fault.

If you had a hot shower in the last week you are the problem, don't blame the Australian government. (yes I had a hot shower)

What's the point when China will just copy it and do it cheaper.

by rb808 7y ago
Sure but it has a huge financial impact. Its the second largest source of export earnings and the main source of electric power. The Australian economy has been hugely successful thanks due to coal, there is no way voters will take a big cu

I'm surprised that people work on laptops for extended periods. I'm used to working on a proper desk with full size monitors and a good chair. I could never work on a sofa or coffee shop table with a laptop for hours, but seems co

I think low interest rates are a huge part of this. Rates dropped again recently and prices are taking off all around the world. Its nuts.

Agreed on this, try it with a few kids on a busy weekend and its really both expensive and miserable.

No real manager and colleagues who sleep during the day? This sounds like a dream job. You're free to do what you want. Don't rush and quit, work on whatever interests you. If Agile, "transformation" and "change&quo

That's not true, I know of several projects that were very well written with cutting edge frameworks, elegant abstractions, full test suites and balanced 40 hour weeks. Of course none of them ever went live lol.
