What about people who build tons of successful things and get win after win after win, but are still feeling burned out? For me, a "win" would be accomplishing something and then getting to bask in the success and take a fucking b

Lets restate the question, but this time include Erlang as an option: You’re about to create a basic CRUD server for storing configuration files (JSON, YAML), with a web frontend. This will be used internally, with a few hundred daily users

We already have this. Just have the professor start a Zoom call on their phone and have everyone else join it using their phones while wearing headphones and their microphones muted.

We stopped calling them "standup" meetings when we hired a guy who was in a wheelchair and realized how badly named those meetings were. We renamed them to "daily status" meetings, and we started holding them in a slack

Yep. That's why you have to give management the full disclaimer and sign-off so they are aware of the risks of launching a prototype as if it was production ready. The decision and ramifications of their decision should be on them, not

by t0mbstone 5y ago
I can do both (and have), but it really is a case of time constraints. So I let management decide. Do they want a quick prototype that is going to be unstable and buggy and difficult to maintain long-term, or do they want something solid th

You have it totally backwards. Public keys are called public keys because they are intended to be public. You should be able to freely advertise a public key on a billboard. On the other hand, you can't really expect the average citize

It seems like it maybe does a better job of handling video and audio than tuple does, and it looks like it plays nicer when there are multiple people involved. For example, inviting someone to a screen sharing session is as easy as sending

If you are looking for screenhero alternatives, you should check out Tuple! Our team has been using it for about a year now and we love it. My favorite part about Tuple is how it HAS NOTHING that overlays the screen. It just hides in the tr

That sounds a lot like a problem with the sign enforcer, not the second guy named Jack... You can't just expect people not to take free money laying out on a park bench with their name on it...

I overthink things and end up in analysis paralysis, not for any of the reasons listed, but because I don't want to have to untangle an incorrect mess later on.

Then they should vote against it instead of hiding. If that's not sufficient, then there is something broken in the political machine.

Well, the myth says that cast iron is thicker and heavier, so the thought process is that if you get it nice and piping hot and then slap a steak in it, you will get a good sear as all that latent heat energy is released into the steak. I n

I spent years messing around with cast iron pans (even restoring some beat up rusted ones). My favorite cast iron pan is a pan that I literally polished SMOOTH with with a rotary sander. It's impossible to build up a thick layer of sea

So they are going to complain about some pigs digging in the dirt with their noses, but not even talk about the millions of square acres of dirt that are getting tilled and turned over by tractors every growing season? This is sensationalis

Oohh I see what you mean. I thought you were talking about their technology like automatic cruise control (with full stop-and-go) and lane keep assist. Subaru and Hyundai, for example, have both had those technologies in their cars since ar

The most frustrating thing for me is that it's so inonsistent with its UI. There are literally three different sound device control panels now, each with their own style and subset of functionality. I wouldn't mind it so much if i

Energy consumption is not a problem, provided it comes from the sun. The sun is going to burn and blast the earth with energy, whether we harness it or not. Harnessing the sun's energy and applying it towards water desalination and dis

A single celebrity attempting to manipulate the stocks they own via public perception is a fundamentally different thing than a bunch of politicians using their legal power to manipulate the stocks they own for their own personal gain.

The future of space is NOT "exploration" for the sake of exploration. The future of space is going to involve a lot of robots, a lot of mining other planets for resources, and a lot of space stations made from those resources. Bez
