Same here, was pretty excited to try it out too! Help and the likes work, but not just searching.

I didn't understand it that way, they expected the list to be software engineering specific (touching topics like Git, CI/CD, etc), but the title gave off the impression that it would be helpful for engineers across all discipline

Good recommendations! The chants of "we carry death, out of the village" have been stuck in my head ever since I started listening to them! Absolutely lovely music, but some of their music is more black metal. Not as accessible, b

I'd like to see a proper example demonstrating this, because from what I saw on the linked project's README, the Python version would have about a third of the parentheses.

That's an extremely negative take on a beautiful, if sad, story. I'd rather focus on the positive, beautiful aspects, like the heart-touching gestures of his friends and how he hope when nothing was going his way. Sometimes that&#

Citation is required for a claim like that. Edit: I was being sarcastic. Thought it would be obvious.

A lot more knowledge in the relevant space that I have. I could spend a week or two learning necessary information, analysing our use cases and then implementing it finally (which I would never get the time to, from a business perspective).

Yeah but this doesn't work with something like microservices, or even Kubernetes based deployments, right? It might take you 3, 40, or a 100 tries for the same request till you hit a node that has your data cached. It could work with e

So ever since Bitcoin's creation, it has been using the exact same amount of power? Because the transaction throughput surely has changed. Do you not agree that, loosely, there is a correlation between transaction throughput/ popu

Yup. With things like heating, refrigeration etc at least it has a tangible benefit on human lives. This is just selling the health of the planet for money!

Or encouraging cheap and nasty fuels to be used to an even greater extent. I'm pretty sure miners don't pick and choose when they mine, to coincide when there's going to be 'wasted surplus energy' otherwise. They ju

"Very inefficient" is an understatement too! I wonder how much energy Visa and Mastercard combined use to process their transactions. Mind you, they probably do orders of magnitude more transactions per second. I recently had a di

I don't actually care about the money. I have a full time job as a software engineer, this is more for me to have something to be proud of (performance at work, to me at least, isn't as important as leaving a tangible mark on some

I'd definitely be keen to hear more about this at least! I've been thinking about hash values for song sections, and then proving ownership by claiming a sequence of hashes. Could help ensure you aren't subconsciously ripping

by sk0g 7y ago
I was more thinking a sort of hash value for the song, to prevent reuploads. Sample detection would be hard, considering sample pack reuse would have to be dealt with!

Maybe it doesn't, but I was planning to use it soon! I'll have to pay a small sum to do the same now, but that's not a big deal.

Really wish Spotify did the Google Play Music thing of letting you upload a few thousand songs to fill in the gaps in their library. From what I can tell, they sorta do - they let you add songs on your device, but I haven't been able t

Yeah, they could build an in house alternative to the YouTube algorithm to detect dupes/ infringing material. Spotify please hire me so I can work on this, tack.

Go lets me do enough object oriented programming to keep me more productive, while not creating a pile of confusion. Sadly, there seems to be almost no functional programming concepts supported that I'd use (map, filter, reduce, lambd

Linux developers, or rather its BDFL are hardly the best place to go to, when looking for sane, balanced opinions. Considering all C programs are valid C++ programs (albeit some requiring minor alterations), it is possible to find a subset

"Kernel written in C++... The horror." What kind of discourse is that leading to? It's just an unqualified, unsubstantiated attack on serious work undertaken by presumably top quality engineers.

The vast majority of devs can be (some definition) of productive in general languages like C#, Java, Python etc in a day or a few. As in, able to grasp code, spot and fix logic faults. That is far from accurate for more left-field languages

If I found the right one [0], it's a bit pricy, seems to encourage doing it in a burst. Looks like it's very connected to the industry, at least in terms of course load. Thanks for the pointer, will look into it some more when I g
