As an FP newbie, for Clojure, I used https://www.braveclojure.com/ to start with. When I wanted to build something beyond a toy program, https://pragprog.com/book/vmclojeco/clojure-applied helped

Yeah, this sounds right 99% of the time, although there is at least one genre that, if successful, breaks that mold - MMOs. WoW is 13 years old, Everquest is 18 years old, and Ultima Online is 20 years old. For us hobbyists, there are MUD

The article is pretty vague on the specifics of the ramifications of the new request. It says 1.3 million, but that seems to be in reference to the broader request. From what I can tell the more narrow request both narrows down the timefr

I chose to major in CS the same year the dotcom bubble burst. Nevermind the specter of outsourcing at the time. Due to those and many other factors, I am completely where I am by luck - at the time for all I knew I was basically majoring

The mess of duplicated code is much harder to untangle than de-consolidating code. Especially because subtle differences WILL leak into duplicated code and you won't know if it's on purpose or not. If a dev can't be bothered

It's easier to just have your own domain and host your domain's email with a provider, such as google/fastmail/etc. This will let you change hosts if you feel the need to. The hardest part is switching all your accounts

The AI doesn't seem to remove them though, it just flags them for human review. In theory, these humans should be the ones determining intent.

IIRC you can usually transfer your tax advantaged status to the same county if you buy a smaller place. It's a little restrictive but it still enables you to downgrade.

Speaking personally, the value of my house means little to me. I plan to live in this region for a long time - when my house goes up, other houses in the region go up. When my house goes down, other houses in the region go down. My house

I feel like the bad experiences probably stand out more than the average. My wife got her masters around 2012, and one of her teachers would discuss political topics then participate in heckling anyone with stances that weren't comple

I like the drop test results. My pixel's glass chipped when it fell out of my pocket when I was sitting on a concrete floor. First phone I've ever gotten a case for.

There's ways Google could fix this without AMP, such as factoring in total page weight when ranking mobile search results.

So this is what was happening... I have a "desirable" prefix and had been getting tons of calls from numbers with the same prefix - was wondering why the heck they would be calling me.

Your understanding seems wrong: https://www.eclipseglasses.com/pages/safety If your understanding were correct, the difference between fake and real glasses wouldn't be minor ones such as round-ness of certain par

Me neither. My circle of friends are approaching their 40s, and several of them work at Google. Some of them didn't get hired until their mid 30s, after they had over 10 years experience.

And continually revisit it. When you're knee deep in requirements, corner cases, and industry best practices, you can lose sight of why you were building the damn thing in the first place, and end up with something that doesn't s

I can't help but laugh at having to hire people to keep a home from serving its purpose: to house people.

Your notion of correct does not apply to everyone: for many of my projects, the implementation that goes against the spec but has higher traction is implemented correctly, and the implementation that follows the spec but has lower traction

This applies to all recycling. The phrase "reduce, reuse, recycle" has recycle last for a reason.

Depends on the format. I found a company that took those public property records and made them searchable online on 1 website. There's a huge difference between finding a phone book in the right area and manually searching by name (yo

If you could designate a building "car free", and have all local street parking be permit parking, AND don't hand out permits to people living in "car free" buildings, it seems like it would fix the problem. But I

Probably similar to yours: mostly subjective ones. I was born and raised in California and love it here. My older brother was born and raised in California, hated it, and loves it in North Carolina.

We had a similar experience about 8 months ago, but only one night in the hospital. Raise hell with everyone. The out of network doctors were resolved the fastest for us, and the longest was the hospital stay itself, which our insurance di

I don't see anything travelers won back. The letter is saying CBP policy doesn't allow these things, when obviously agents have been doing them. It may be against policy, but unless you reprimand or fire people over it your poli

Things like bug count and time to market seem difficult to separate from having more experience as a developer or knowing your problem space better. We use almost all Java, and we have several projects that we did major re-designs of in th

I'm well aware of the population of the bay area. I speak to South San Jose because I was born and lived there for close to 25 years, basically around the corner from the former Cottle IBM plant. I still visit because my parents live

Re-branding has always been an interesting thing to me, and the companies I work at (imho) underutilize it. I have friends who work in manufacturing, and all of their "competition" is made by their company, it's just branded

A huge point of microservices is to create code that is independent of eachother. Your database backend is tightly coupling what should be completely independent services. Microservices were designed to scale your engineering departments

So it would probably surprise you to hear that companies I've worked for in the past have built monolithic applications serving pages that were per-user dynamic that can handle upwards of 20,000 requests per second? This is why I hate
