I find that nearly all editors have VIM "mode" that will allow you to just use the vim key bindings, so it's not really a problem swapping between two editors. They tend to have an emacs mode as well, in case you're inte

We just list our budgeted amount. Candidates will get at least the bottom number, so they can be sure we're not going to low-ball at offer time. The highest number indicates what we won't be offering above as that's the max

As a hiring manager, I wouldn't say people are serious if they have a github account, but having one, which actually has original work in it, can show that the applicant has some interest in the industry beyond the money. If you don&#x

I find this really surprising as all of the scientific libraries that I know about support python 3. Python 3 also has a load of improvements that would make scientific programming faster. Perhaps instead of thinking about not having spare

I've used Docker in production environments and found that it was helpful on some projects, but a disaster on others. The article brings up many of the pain points that you'll find using Docker for anything more complex than toy p

I'd suggest getting a solid understanding of the core front end technologies: HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript. If you can't build reasonably complex websites without the crutch of a framework or a more complex tool chain, then yo

We're actually investigating switching over to an XMPP server and completely ditching slack. No-one in the company uses it, no-one likes using it and XMPP just seems to work.

"Cut deep and cut once". Multiple rounds of layoffs is going to seed paranoia as well as hurt morale, so it's often better to over-do-it a little than end up with some of your best employees quitting because they're tire

Ah, my mistake. Though her estimate of £1300 is still a lot more than she'd actually have to pay. My room is in a central location and costs around £670pcm with bills. It's a pretty reasonable place, it's just not 5 minutes

I've actually just moved offices in London, so I can say that it actually isn't much different. There's plenty of offices that are very comparable to that price.

Sending a lot of bounced emails is going to get your mailservers reputation tanked, which is not an acceptable tradeoff for removing email validation. Email validation is actually really important if you send even a medium amount of email

That sounds nice and all, but most static files have caching done on them, so it seems like this tech may (currently) be a solution in search of a real problem.

I find this a bit of an odd claim, since I have a mailserver running on port 25 on EC2 right now, without a support ticket, and have no problems.

Yes, I was left scratching my head as to why containers play any significant role in the issue of distributed logging. If your choice of container runtime/vm/servers are creating an issue with logging then there's most likely

Gogs has had both those for quite some time now. We did a comprehensive internal review of both gogs and gitlab. Gogs was a long way ahead of gitlab in terms of stability/speed and had pretty much all of the features developers tend to

I think his example was rather poor as I can think of at least 3 use cases off of the top of my head where having separate categories would be a good idea, and having varchar arrays would be a giant PITA. That said I'm not sure he was

This 1000 times. It's also an issue being a single failure point more generally. If the daemon doesn't perform, it can affect every single container running on the system. Competing systems that use a less monolithic approach a

Self hosted gitlab is also slow unfortunately. I introduced gitlab to my company as a replacement for gitosis. It's been ok but we're looking to move to gogs.io which is a lot less clunky and slow. If gitlab really want traction,

With systems like Docker we're just making sure that we don't lock ourselves in. If you decouple deployment and your code (which you shouldn't have coupled to a container anyway) from how you run it (containers, a VM, etc) th

In a word, yes. Node is nice but it doesn't appear to have as much going for it as Go so I would personally invest time in something like Go.

I think the point here is that it took you time to set up that dev environment. It shouldn't matter where your environment is (a VM, a laptop, etc), you should be able to recreate it easily and reliably. This is what the automation tools

I find that generally, when this happens it's due to a bad / non-existant migration policy (it's just as important as your branching strategy to keep migrations solid). Migrations should be able to rebuild an entire database from scratch. I

Comments can indeed lie to you, but code can also be doing something that was not actually intended. Having a comment to clarify intent is a saving grace when code looks correct but is doing the wrong thing. At least when a comment is confl
