Jesus, that sounds terrible! I feel lucky my own MBP 2015 has fared without much problems although I did drop it once it which caused the bottom cover's screws pop out one by one in half a year. Bottom cover replacement + replacing a s

When I'm excited about an idea I have a compulsion to walk around in basically circles. I don't know exactly why but i assume when body enters such elavated alertness you have to let out steam somehow. Otherwise, i prefer running

I think the biggest give-away from the article and from the comments written here is that companies neglect recruiting as a chance to generate positive brand impressions and in general, use it for marketing. If people walk away from your in

From the user’s perspective merging behaviour is basically identical in all of these systems. Ah, ok. Neat. I’m not sure what you mean about materialising areas differently? I meant finding the ranges of the document that have been chan

Excellent article! As someone who has to work with collaborative editing I must say the complexity of the whole area is at times daunting to say the least. So many edge-cases. So many mines to step on. Now I think I am convinced that the OT

Really well written, thanks. It's interesting to read how others have faced and are facing the same problems. I've found it's a question of comfort and social environment that pushes you regularly to do things you'd not

I have noticed that biggest inhibitor to my work is having to deal with other people's bullshit. If my manager doesn't really listen or isn't interested (or just fakes an interest) in making things well I kinda my lose motiva

Well of course it can be done, we have been to the Moon and all. It's just the squirming politicians and oblivious general populace that won't do anything (except vote for the same people year after year) that allow them to get a

To me learning algorithms on my leisure time is the epitome of boredom. Not because I wouldn't be able to learn them but because life is finite. I'm happy that you have found your niche but don't look down on people who prior

Well looks better than the previous iteration. Less abstract, more softer. I don't know why it has taken so long to shake off their overly theoretical approach for one that is based on what users perceive as nicer but I'm glad the

When you have billions of money, do you have really have that much drive to optimize your properties which might be nice to keep as occasional holiday homes? Sure you'd think that "ooh, 5% more income on my properties" would

But that doesn't make any sense. The building should have to be sold first before appraising its value. Non-withstanding the difficulty of timing your own demise, I think you could at least reject the very dubious gift at least?

I solved my eye strain by dimming my screen, putting a screen protector and using sun glasses. The sun glasses part sounds a bit silly and I probably should use real "hacker" glasses but they seem to work fine. I'm not sure e

You'd think so, but from my experience the folk that are very interested in algorithmic design and so forth produce highly abstract and hard to understand solutions to simple problems, which, in the end, are the majority in the regular

I have been using Flyway with Node.js. Works all right and you write everything (migrations, schema, seeds) in SQL. It does make working with SQL quite straightforward and non-magical. The thing is of course that with very complex queries y

Configuring Gradle is my vision of programming torture. It's a mandatory side step, unrelated to your main task. A mere chore, without any great programming paradigms to at least teach you something interesting. Just pure violence of l

I myself appreciate READMEs that tell simply what the project does with a couple of good examples and links to the full API description. I dislike pompous and overly embellished APIs as it makes it seem that the author(s) care more about lo

That's so dumb. You are taking a very complex phenomenon with billions of variables and simulating it with 34 variable MCMC model to justify what seems like overestimation either way. Where's the risks chapter? How have they facto

Well I agree on the premise to some extent, but I don't feel like all the examples and points are as high impact as others. For example, I don't think that styled-jsx is really the solution to the problem - writing the stylesheets

Sure, but it makes it harder and you could still pursue them for tax avoidance which is a risk a larger company can't really take. There is certainly bureaucracy involved but in theory it could be possible, it is just who could even en

I agree it's terrible and as the things now are, only reasonable solutions I see is either increasing the amount of the "good" domains or just making the renewal price somehow cumulative the more domains you own. But I don&#x

True, but when a company sells their stock in for example IPO, it is a mutual goal of yours and theirs to see that the company rises in value.

A part of what was not mentioned is that it is used as a gambling chip. Plain and simple. Sure, not the cheapest lottery ticket you can find but hey, your chances of making money are probably higher with crypto than the average lottery. Is

Hmm. Well. Sure. There is often a drastic difference between learning the theory of something and then actual work of applying it. To me many things are interesting yet it's the practical work of CS that has felt the most easiest vs th

I admire you taking a stance for The Room but when a movie is generally lauded as one of the worst movies ever made, you are kind of on the losing side. Maybe there's good parts in there and sure, what is bad depends on the viewer. Yet
