Unfortunately, the article ends by pointing out that the Halo armour also has many glaring mistakes.

Unfortunately, the likely solution to this is to keep banging out work at wherever you can gain experience as a software engineer. Modern hiring practices are too rigid and filter-friendly for you to likely appear as a strong candidate base

The main highway going East-West (Trans-Canada 1) requires you to put on snow tires during the winter. I think it might only be an Alberta, BC provincial thing though.

It's required all throughout the East Kootenay (Golden, Radium, Invermere, Cranbrook).

Michigan is similar to parts of Canada. All-seasons that are rated for snow are pretty common here too. Then there is every doofus in a Suburban skidding around like a kid on a 2-ton toboggan rocking summer tires as they tell everyone, &quo

This is exactly it. People don't want to think about that kind of stuff. I was over giving a neighbour a can of spray foam. The complexity of it was no more than that of spray paint. You point the nozzle into the hole, pull trigger, it

It's the same for Canada if you choose to drive any of the mountain highways passes. The cops will fine you if they catch you without a "mountain-snowflake" graded tire.

This is the truth. They’re digging out under a massive overpass in my area right now to fix water main and gas piping issues as we speak. Road is all torn up and patched up. It has been a boondoggle of construction cones and heavy machinery

Hah! Yup! Heard that one before from Californians, Texans, New Yorkers, and Arizonans in my travels. Ignorance can be the death of ya! Thank goodness most of them aren’t trying to drive up here!

This is somewhat true where I’m at in Canada. In the city, half the people have proper winter tires, the other half “wing it” with whatever they can afford/put-up-with. Regularly see accidents all winter long from goofs sliding straigh

I don’t disagree with your take. The concept of the semantics of “what is alive?” has been going on for a long while now. Have you considered that this is a more formal version of a Bill Nye science explainer, but for adults? The reason I

I know this isn't likely... but a part of me is going, "and so the downfall of Adobe supremacy begins..." evil cackling It would be hilarious watching them scramble to actually compete with an equal footing player for once.

10k parallel users I agree, but 10k receiving all updates from the other 9999 and vice versa can become quite a complex problem to solve. Especially within time (latency), monetary hosting cost, and accuracy constraints. For example, an MMO

Yeah, I hear you. Which is why we assessed and designed our own platform for handling the above stated traffic (and much more) for multi-user real-time chat sessions. The commenter seems to know a lot about Jazz, so I took the opportunity t

Yes, I have read and found similar articles to what you've posted! It is an ongoing exploration for us to find the best way to store/consume reactive state data within our client sites/apps. So far, MobX has given us a lot of

That sounds a lot more promising! Which brings in even more questions. What is the performance of these multiplayer experiences? Can I have 1000+ users all connected to the same chat session? What about 10,000? (these numbers might seem hig

I'm more than a little worried about the following all being `Coming Soon`: - Cursors & carets - Two way sync to your DB - Video presence & calls - both the Group and BinaryCoStreams All of these are the key reasons I

As soon as the AM4 vs AM5 conversation started, I immediately thought "price". The cost of swapping a mobo to AM5 in a few years is minimal compared to bulk price savings you can get using "good enough" AM4 now. Seeing A

I draw it on a pad of paper instead. I don't analogize it to plates or envelopes on a shelf. Simply saying, "there is memory in the computer, it's like this..." and draw rectangles of memory on a piece of paper. Then I d

I have found a lot of people I know (who have excellent English, but aren't native English speakers) despise metaphors. This is purely anecdotal, but I am married to a woman from Eastern Europe and I grew up in a schooling system that

This explains so much about modern media, news, and story-telling. It's easier to make up a plausible narrative that supports your story than simply admitting you don't know. You can see how as the article develops, they go from b

Fastmail has been solid for the last several years. I would recommend it.

A combination of Evernote and Google Drive. He’s going to look into Obsidian for his next books.

He was using Evernote and then switched to Google Drive for collaborating with the editor. I’ve in the past, suggested Obsidian. He is interested in trying it out.

My brother just finished writing a fantasy novel. By the time he was finished, he had created a searchable wiki with every idea, lore snippet, and references logged into his note taking app. As easily as we would google an event in history,

Confused as to why "Google TV" didn't win out in the end. Seems like the obvious choice. Is it boring? Sure. Does it immediately tell you absolutely everything you likely need to know if you're not already buying an Appl

I agree with you that the ideal is to have UI/UX work resolved before starting dev work. In my experience, this has never happened. I’ve moved around hoping that somewhere, leadership has fixed this problem and nope. It never happens.

I am convinced that the decay is often very slow. There are signs of impending failure and it frequently drags out for many, many years. Then, eventually, you'll see a "straw that breaks the camel's back" and the hollow
