This is an Ad. Nothing wrong with it but title should be changed to the title of the article this leads to, i.e.“Why render”. Otherwise this is deceptive.

This attitude works for personal projects but will probably be somewhat career limiting working in a team.

"I’m not a scientist — so this is a layman’s perspective. Please do your own research and do not take my words face value. I discovered Toxoplasma because my son has bipolar disorder and my daughter has diabetes Type 1. It was my resea

If only Google Maps actually addressed feedback from the app, sigh. I’ve been reporting the cycling routes in Sydney that constantly try sending you down the stairs to no effect. It seems that the only way to get google to listen nowadays i

I see a lot of this FAANG "threatening" - walk the talk people! I did and I don't regret it. Until people start to actually take action nothing will change. P.S. Yes I recognize that there may be people in precarious situatio

I’m sorry to hear this has happened to you and I do hope you’re only going to get better. State of diagnostics is indeed very poor, esp. in a field like Immunology. It took 2 years and 4 doctors to find what was wrong with me and how to tre

That’s the deal about those things - the company has all the power in this situation. Usually if the company finds out you’re doing something they really don’t want to be involved in they do one of the following: - Officially distance thems

It’s not reasonable by any means - you either assign all rights to google or assign all rights except copyright to google. Their process is public actually, you can take a look: https://opensource.google/docs/releasin

Generally it’s not the auth itself that is the problem but RBAC, multi-factor auth, integrations, etc. We’ve looked at Auth0 and Okta because we wanted to see if we can save some dev time devising RBAC and supporting a lot of different auth

I would suggest to seek professional help on this. Almost none of the commenters in this thread are actually qualified to answer. Speaking from experience of a close friend though - PTSD can come about in different ways and not necessarily

Because that may introduce new biases around smaller universities from India, Russia, China who already have issues getting things published. As a former scientist in a smaller Russian uni publishing was already difficult and it saddens me

I always tell my interns: “I have been in this job for 10+ years and I’m still yet to tell anyone they’re asking too many questions.” Seems to put them at ease :)

Dr. Elizabeth Bik is making efforts to detect image fraud in scientific papers and reading her findings has made me quite worried about not only the general accuracy of the data from lesser-known universities, but how difficult it is to ret

So AFAIK it’s not exactly so. One can actually change project license granted they have agreement of every single contributor to do so. Which they do since they had the CLA system from the start. So theoretically they can even unpublish all

> Code contributed under Apache stays that way. IANAL but I think code doesn’t really belong to contributors if they agreed to sign their rights over with a CLA, no? Which is why I always feel iffy about CLA’s. I get why they’re needed b

If you can - leave. There’s plenty of companies with paid on call or more lenient policies.

Care to share your thoughts on Pulumi quality? I’m asking since I’m currently looking at their TypeScript implementation to use in prod and would love to know any issues that may pop up.

Don’t let your dreams be dreams. The author did give some hints on how he built it, e.g. indexing/search is driven by Apache Solr on a couple of 20-core machines. Regarding data ingestion you probably can look at some prior art like th

I think this will not affect third-party search like grep.app since they have their own index. It’s not as large but should help.

“making design mocks that will never see the light of day” This seems accurate. I worked with UX teams on Cloud a lot. They _are_ brilliant. But every time the lifecycle seems to be: 1) They come out with fantastic mocks. 2) They run this b

There are ways around it, like “returning a signing bonus” or “reimbursing relocation costs”. Those are usually subjective and super-vague as well, e.g. “approx. $$$” or “minimum of $$$” and they never give you an actual number so it’s extr

As a serial immigrant myself - hit the nail on the head there. There is the “pay debt back” (relo, visa/lawyer costs) issue in some companies but this is a very good start.

I think it depends on the employer - mine has no issues getting ergonomics like a standing desk or a wrist saving mouse/keyboard. They even upgraded my home office setup when COVID happened. Though I would admit that 11k lying desk wit

As an OSS maintainer I’m _very_ happy when people correct my spelling/formatting and make the docs look better. Please don’t let a couple of twats ruin your motivation. What you’re doing is really good for the community!

Sure, but it’s either too expensive (Cisco), too unreliable (MIMO) or both (Tandberg). Source: used to be a Service Desk tech for a giant conglomerate.

That’s definitely not reinventing the wheel. As someone who used to be Service Desk for a very large company I can say that those (not even cheap) off-the-shelf MIMO panels caused so many call-outs to reseat/restart/replace them t

Former environmental engineer here. Landfills are not that bad indeed but only if they’re properly constructed - i.e. concrete bed poured, geological survey done beforehand and the seepage of stuff into the ground and settling is continuous
