I like to disable most notifications, but I'm confused about the Uber eats thing. If I'm a restaurant and I take orders via Uber eats, I probably want to be notified about new orders. That seems quite important to me. It's no

I just performed a job hop. I've stayed in the same job for nearly 4 years and I'd be happy to stay if I wasn't being underpaid. I think I've performed pretty well and I know I've had good feedback from colleagues,

In my experience, coding interviews are more like checking that you can stand up and walk, maybe a short light jog. They're not testing your limits, they're testing for basic competency.

I almost can not imagine a worse president. I would rather vote for a random homeless person off the street. Harris may not have had a great campaign but it absolutely baffles me that a majority of voters would even consider voting for Trum

Is this related to how some materials become superconductors at low temperature? Does the slowing down of this electron flux improve the material's ability to conduct electricity or is there some other mechanism at play?

I had the exact same experience. Top grades in math etc without paying attention or studying for tests etc. Terrible at history and similar classes that mostly require you to remember trivia. Also struggle to remember directions, I lean hea

I don't use Twitter if that's what you're talking about. And I'm sure you didn't expect me to accept that ridiculous suggestion anyway so I'm just going to assume you don't have a reasonable answer.

Yeah. The engineer who thinks their job is in danger might be less inclined to improve their skills because they don't think their skills will be useful in the future, which is essentially a self-fulfilling prophecy. Maybe they will pu

That's complete bullshit. Lots of people still work in factories - there's fewer people because of automation but there's still lots of people. Lots of people still work in farming. Less manual labor means we can produce more

I don't have any knowledge that allows me to make any kind of prediction about the likelihood of that technology being invented. I'm not convinced anyone else does either. So I'm just going to go about my life as usual, if s

Nothing. I don't think there's anything I need to prepare for. AI can't do my job and I doubt it will any time soon. Developers who think AI will replace them must be miserable at their job lol. At best AI will be a tool I us

Used to work in the trades, almost never used impact drivers. Always thought they were primarily for heavier workloads like hex nuts/screws. But maybe I've just been missing out

I've worked in construction for years and we never used impact drivers for wood screws. I could see some use cases for them with really large wood screws, but the Makita drill I used was beefy as shit and never had any trouble. Maybe i

Who uses an impact driver with Philips screws? I guess maybe if you're driving huge screws for framing something heavy but even then I've never felt the need for an impact driver. And I usually use torx anyway

I use Rider for .Net and WebStorm for JS. Before I left work I checked, with our small/medium sized project each of them were using a little under 2gb according to windows Task Manager. Adding in some other related processes I'd e

Are you using the ram for something else? Would you prefer to have 30 out of 32gb sitting unused? Ram is cheap, I don't see why people complain that it's being utilized. Doesn't bother me at all. I haven't looked into it

Pretty sure IntelliJ comes with all those things? That's why I use JB products. I download them, start them up and that's it. I don't need any separate plugins, they just work perfectly out of the box.

by sfn42 2y ago
I don't think they're slow at all. Takes a while to index when opening a new project, then everything is snappy. My main reason for using JB is I loathe the shitty build your own ide experience of VSC. Everything is more difficult

Same way you find it when doing a lookup later? I know that's probably a naive answer, I honestly don't even know how a hash table works. I know how a hash map works, at least some implementations use a linked list as a bucket. So
