I recently started to notice a palpable lack of people of color in the workplace. I recently took to writing some tech activism articles and when I looked around for people who could check them and share their lived experiences as marginali

Hello HN friends, frenemies, and everyone in between! I’m a software engineer who fancies herself as a systems level thinker. I've spent the last couple years thinking about how we might apply systems level thinking and broad engineeri

IDK the gitfluencer moniker makes me think like youtubers always ending the videos begging for likes and subscribes > If you liked that commit don't forget to merge in that PR and smash that follow button!

The real take away here is that only 10% of children who are visually impaired or blind learn braille. Additionally upon looking up that stat cause I figured surely it must be sensationalized, 50% of blind students dropout of school and ove

A early facebook clone can work well. If you're learning a new frontend tech, reuse the backend from one you did before, or if it's new backend, reuse the frontend from a different one. I say early facebook cause I feel that doing

I like going thrifting and looking for cool things or coming up with something to search for and collect. Recently i'm into collecting uranium glass for instance. It's also gives you some walking around the stores and such. You ca

I've been fired a few times as a developer and I think your empathy approach is truly wonderful! The first time I was fired it was entirely 100% my fault. I was a practicing alcoholic at the time(meaning I was still getting smashed by

I would for sure talk to your doctor about it. Normally your doctor can recommend medicine and services such as a psychologist(more talk therapy) or psychiatrist(more prescription based) that will work with them and be in your insurance net

Also don't just do what code review comments tell you to. If you disagree, state that and tell them why. Maybe you know something they don't about why you did something the way you did. Maybe they are just wrong. Maybe there'

I'm glad this helped you as well! If you want to, let me know how it goes! If not that's fine too! I hope things look up for you soon! :D Sending positive vibes!

I think it's worth looking into for sure. I ran across this when I was suffering from some depression and was trying to see how other devs deal with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFIa-Mc2KSk It's a talk abou

I'm coming up on three years sober this Sunday. For me the thing that helped the most was the /r/stopdrinking sub on reddit. Reading people's experiences and techniques from all sorts of groups and books, and reading abo

At my employer we started using Codacy a few months ago, providing things like that are what you're asking. Things were real touch and go for a while with the analysis taking forever or other problems but they released an update a few

I don't have time to watch that right now but I wonder if this has anything to do with Crostini on Chromebooks running Debian?

I see the language description on the site now but it was hard to spot until I looked really carefully. That said, I don't see a way to use this as a web app, only to download it for a mobile device. I know the phone number is for gett

I think the second place might have been a bit of bad luck, bit of not reading between the lines. It sounds like you can code well enough and your co-workers like you if you got positive feedback except for productivity and meeting issues w

I had a similar experience when I first started out and I got fired from my first two development jobs so maybe my experience can help you. Getting good at grocking through existing codebases is an experience thing I feel. You need to under

For sure. Snaps still unfortunately isn't extremely straight forward on the Debian install in Termina(maybe a normal Debian install as well, IDK, I don't normally run Debian) so I figured you might need help! :D Snaps are nice tho

I'm not sure what you mean by this comment but I got snaps working on the Debian Stretch Termina if you're having trouble and need help.

They don't really behave or look all that different. When was the last time you ran an Android app on ChromeOs? The original attempt that ChromeOs made at getting Android apps on ChromeOs back in 2015 or whatever was scrapped because i

by samuraiseoul 7y ago
They're talking about Termina and the Google provided Linux solution. It's misleading to people who haven't been in the ChromeOs ecosystem before to compare your Crouton setup to Termina. Crouton is not an officially supporte

Sure. Like I said, it's a bit green still though I think it has a lot of potential. Also the speed should improve a lot soon as the flagship chromebooks should be getting GPU acceleration in crostini when version 75 hits stable. Curren

You could also consider looking into chromebooks with crostini depending on the kind of work you do in the linux environment. Its still in beta technically though so it might be a bit more green than you're after.

Adding tests to a large monolithic tightly coupled legacy application using non-trivial examples. I can never find a tutorial for testing that's not using trivial examples or code that's already pretty good and just needs tests.

Typescript can bundle and minify now, is there really a need for webpack for a small website? Even if you're using it for sass or something, just run the sass builder separate and include the generated css on page. Webpack seems like o

No one said it was fast or easy. Given a long enough timeline and some daily effort, you can most likely learn another language. You can't study yourself to un-blindness.
