It's pretty useful when you have some distribution layer (i.e. some pubsub system) Consider 10-15 applications running on a host, and all of them are listening to data being distributed by another service. Instead of all of them openin

Oh yeah, for option A I meant to just stay in Canada until my company hopefully gets profitable and then "transfer" it to the US and move to the US if somehow I can self-sponsor/sponsor through company.

I'm confused. I thought on a TN or H1B I'm not even allowed to start a company in the US.

What would be the advice for Canadians who want to start a company, but are unable to do so because they are on a TN/H1B? As I see it my only options are: a) Move back to Canada, start company there. Does this impede getting VC funding

C++ was probably compiled without optimizations. In a compiled binary there won't even be any calculations done - see for yourself https://godbolt.org/z/Mhhzhdr7c

About time. The amount of value you get from having random conversation with your coworkers is too much to pass up on. Breakdown of communication through text also sucks.

I meant, using branches in a way that's "better" - whatever people who use git mean when they say that. As I said, I haven't used SVN. It just seems like perforce and mercurial are basically "identical" for the

What's better about git? I haven't used svn, but have used perforce/mercurial professionally/git professionally, and use git personally, but I find all of them to provide the same "feature set" when doing basic

You have to use something similar to https://github.com/facebook/folly/tree/main/folly/experiment... to solve this problem. It's a nasty bug that everyone encounters when first working with cor

To me it's not obvious. I wouldn't think that an app can inject JS into a website because I'm using a web-browser from their app.

Every single time there are some people who love C (in my experience for the reason they haven't worked professionally in C++) that claim that they're actually WAY more productive and readable when working in C. C++ is basically a

How are these websites supposed to be viewed? Never understood. If I just scroll down it looks horrible. Only way I've found is by holding the down button, but seems like this is just a bad exerpience for the majority of people?

I'm curious as to why CTO's or companies spend time writing these types of blogs. They're clearly aimed at programmers but: 0 interesting/unique content. Seems like it's copy pasted arguments from any discussion of

The creators that are decently big (100k+) make enough money whether or not you ad-block. Don't worry about it.

If I were to guess, his brothers and parents pushed him, and had more experience with teaching compared to their older son. They got him interested, and he went from there. He was probably lucky to be the younger brother growing up.

1 question: how do you know their videos aren't demonetized? Also, in my understanding, youtube only demonetizes PER VIDEO, not your whole account unless you do something serious, is that right?

Yep, and most likely the service they switched to is running at a loss until they get enough customers, and then will start uping their costs, continuing the cycle (either migrate for cost savings, or stay)!

I wonder if some people on my team even work 1-2 hours a day honestly. What I've found for myself is this greatly demotivates me. Why am I putting in 6-8 hours of pure coding a day when I see the guy next to me doing 1 hour of work and
