I guess that is what "leaders" and mentors are supposed to do; lead people around or away from problems. The fact that people feel like they are "chasing the latest fad every year" is in and of itself a problem. They o

I don't hold the same opinion. Being detached helps you to remain objective and consistent. Focusing on the process which creates the outcomes, gives you a means to improve in an objective way. That is why people have widespread rel

Detaching emotion from the outcome is key. I've heard it described as professional distance or professional objectivity and it is a key component of maturity. It is more prevalent in other industries, but tech has grown so fast that

Like unemployment for those affected by such a short sighted choice like that. If history has taught us anything, it is that war is inevitable. "Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8 pe

I recently installed Pop!_OS from System 76 on a newly purchased thinkpad x1 extreme and it has been an absolute joy. Pop!_OS's lineage is up the Debian/Ubuntu branch but has a lot of features that make for a practical experience

A ton of commercial systems have similar vulnerabilities. Teslas have gotten hacked remotely a multitude of times over several years. People who attack/hack systems are specialized in ways that those engineers that build systems are no

I think everybody goes through a stage where they second guess their career choice. Work is work. Even if you find work that is enjoyable, it tends to be fleeting as most engineering problems have an end. You probably want to address these

Those bureaucrats are there to represent society, reduce conflict, and serve the greater good. Regulating is their role and somewhere up the chain of command is an elected official that oversees their power to do so. Sometimes the unelect

Out of curiosity, who is "we"? How big is your team?

Agreed; I hate mosquitoes but I worry about change amplification. How will this ripple up the food chain? I wish this article also addressed the concerns, if any, by those studying the affects.

Somewhat related; I was building a game a few years ago and passing 4x4 matrices (128 bytes) by value was faster than pass by reference. I don't know exactly how many bytes can be passed by value before it becomes slower, but please d

I've been multiple places where these are called "Team Agreements" and they are reviewed regularly as part of the retrospective process.

I concur; that is a great.

I read it while in college. It put me into a mental space where I was considering recursion on a universal scale for the first time. I'd never considered, previously, how recursive processes construct everything I see and experience,

Eat healthy and stay active outside of work. It is too easy to get complacent with deadlines and being sedentary at work all day.

I should have been more explicit; this is the default in memory footprint of a simple hello world app. I didn't really try to reduce the heap or stack of the JVM, I'm sure that would help.

I just went through a simple exercise; for my tests, a minimal JavaFX app starts at ~100MB while a minimal Electron app starts around ~65MB.

I've seen this topic rehashed repeatedly since I started coding Java in 1999. It has always been that Java is passed by value. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9246356 and <q> Some people will say incorrectl

I was hoping this was an analysis on how much time and money is spent while waiting for n number of lines of code to compile by various compilers. I find waiting for things to build, deploy, install dependencies, etc as the most mind numbi

https://github.com/go-gl has opengl and glfw bindings which would serve many of the same purposes.

Looks like Python with curly braces. I assume the developer is also a python dev based on the comments in his code.

This is one of my favorite reads. About 10 years ago I was developing a toy programming language that compiled to ANSI-C and this was a great resource to me at the time.

It isn't one or the other, there is value in both staying for a longer period of time and moving more frequently. When moving more frequently, you can be exposed to a wider variety of problems and have a more complete picture of the p

I like this guy; I took 3 years of Spanish when I was younger. This education helped me briefly when selling clothes to Spanish speaking clients. They appreciated the effort and I made good commission. That was almost 20 years ago; I hav

I think the transition to a laborless society will be pretty messy. Perhaps we can develop labor pools; unautomated businesses can draw from this labor pool until this class of labor becomes automated. Individuals receiving UBI would be r
