Well unfortunately this requires that you don't make your laptop your main development machine. I prefer to have only one machine and that machine be my laptop, though I do understand wanting desktop.

Well I actually run Linux now on my MBP but to demystify, I don't use any of those keys because I only work in vi. You can do those things without the buttons when not in insert mode: page up/down: ctrl f/b home/end: 0&#

My advisor said to me "A really smart person isn't one who comes up with complicated solutions to solve difficult problems but someone who can make very simple and elegant solutions to complicated problems." I'm inclined

If you get 80 applications and none of them have what you are looking for, this seems like the issue is being able to get the right candidates to apply. Or, perhaps it's just not possible to find enough people who have the skills in wh

Why are those things an incentive to work your butt off? I see why those would lead to you being happy at your job, but I don't really see why being happy at your job means you should work extra hard. Just curious, as it seems to me th

Indeed I believe Richard Hamming addressed this in his talk "You and Your Research." In it he says, "The more you know, the more you learn; the more you learn, the more you can do; the more you can do, the more the opportunit

Have you ever asked someone if they would still be working at their job if they weren't getting paid? Or even the weaker version, if they didn't need the money? I have asked many people this and only two people have said yes to th

I don't think it's due to a lack of competitors that we don't have faster clock speeds but because increasing the clock speed causes the CPU to get too hot, and its difficult to actually get better performance that way. At le

Not only is the ecosystem better on Android, the fact that it came to market first is a huge positive too. No matter how much money you have, it takes a long time to build a proper OS. I don't even really use any third party apps but G

They could be controlled in the sense that they control what patches go into the code base like with Android. Sure, you can always fork the project and make your own, but I'd argue the project is controlled by the corporation.

Well, T Mobile also is the first carrier to do away with subscriptions which I support. Sure, I don't agree with everything they do but as far as I can tell they are the most agreeable of the bunch.

In fairness, the author says at the end of the post that they do intend to rerun the analysis with actual job performance. It seems reasonable to optimize for hiring right now since otherwise nobody would go to them to find a job, and it&#x

I apologize if this is incorrect as the only bits I know are from my interest in cars and not finance, but I don't think it was completely luck that Ford decided to try to get money. From what I understand, they did all this because Al

At AWS we had some tests which involved adding stuff to DynamoDB. Since it's eventually consistent, sometimes the tests would fail because some assertions wouldn't be true until some time later. Of course we tried to make them suc

So is there anything that a normal developer could do to help fix these issues? After all, isn't one of the points of OSS that we should be able to mess with it and change it to our liking? Or, am I correct in assuming that Linux has g

Well, I think shaming Amazon into decency might work if the negative publicity makes it difficult for them to hire. I'm not too sure it really worked though as it seems there's always going to be someone who is in need of a job an

Well, you can't prove it, but if two people can both recall the same thing independently then it seems likely that it's the truth. Here by independently I mean something like both people write down what they remember before speaki

I might just be confused, but from what read/understand I don't think FP vs OO is a proper comparison. I think the right question should be FP vs imperative languages? As far as I know even functional languages can have OO feature

Adobe has a monopoly with Photoshop and they basically just raised their prices by going subscription. I don't know a single person who's been happy about it, but they deal with it because there's not really anything they can

I don't know if it will help but the way I tried to stop job hopping was to realize that I work to make a living, and if I want to learn stuff and play with new toys, I can do that on my own time. After all, they don't pay me to l

Is this meant for people interested in security? I ask because the main site says you guys are making CTFs to replace interviews, but I'm not sure if that's interviews for security roles or all developers. I'd be interested i

I don't know how they are doing it, but one way this could be solved is with assymetric encryption. If a person wants to see your data, that person asks you for it, and you use their public key to encrypt your data, send it over, and t

Well, I should have said that the idea is people would write well tested code before it gets released. I can also attest it didn't necessarily work out that ideally in practice. On the other hand, I'll disagree that they combine d

Yup me too. At AWS we didn't have test engineers either. Everyone was responsible for testing their own code. We didn't even have SREs, so everyone was also on call. This just meant that everyone made sure they were writing well t

Hey thanks for the suggestion. I actually use this strategy already, but the issue is that this only tells you what the general stuff most people will learn is. As far as I know this doesn't help with finding what the current problems

I did read it so yes I did know. I just feel like most active researchers would be able to point people in the right direction, so the fact that he's a Nobel laureate wasn't particularly relevant.

By real application do you mean complicated? I'll second what others have said; you really don't have to use every framework. I really don't see anything wrong with building it with the simplest tools possible, and then if yo

It's refreshing to see a tech company IPO that isn't VC backed and actually can sustain itself with its profits. Maybe I'm just naive but I find it strange how so many companies focus so long on acquiring users and not on mak
