The deque collection was this efficient. Allocated blocks based on pagesize (4k). A truly beautiful data structure and one of the few good reasons to use stl.

I have a closed source proprietary database that I wish I did not have to manage. I pushed for the open source but CTO didn't trust that there would not be a long development tail (it probably would) since there were few good options

Thanks I learned something new. Its not general purpose and has some strict limitations. As usual this seems to skip concepts like quality/status of sensor (maybe qnan can be used as a sort of sentinel value) but is interesting newer

I used to host in savvis then IT team pushed me into their datacenter for cost reasons but they are so terrible with changes and support that azure/aws are very attractive to improve my dev speed even if it means i have to do all the o

Agree completely for Android. I've used Focus since it came out and set as primary browser because it is so light. It works great from Materialistic (HN Reader) and Reddit App or for one time website browsing. It also allows opening

Worked on my 2 android devices. Did not work on windows desktop. That needed the nightly or probably this build.

Same here. On 5T. My only issue was lack of security updates in the end. I could try to flash with another distro but too much work with too little gain. Love my 5T even more.

Static has its own issues. GPL vs LGPL forces a lot of apps to dynamic. Also security vulnerabilities in libraries become unpatchable.

I've started notice that things I know sometimes become out of date. The search can then confirm old ways or inform new ways of doing the thing.

In the US, on call/overtime without pay can be mandatory for salaried employees. IT as i recall is called out specifically if you help maintain critical systems. Normally the company just has to be clear on expectations before hand.

Personally prefer ConsoleZ over conemu. Its more stable and does fewer strange things when i last evaluated it. Fluent i guess has better themes support and UWP might be some sort of advantage. https://github.com/cbucher&

I did some minimal stuff it and I like it. Its slow and has Java UI is as bad on Windows as expected (in part OpenJDK) but I'll reach for it next I have the need. The main thing that I seem to have missed was some sort of scripting l

I basically do the same. We are critical development/operational support so I have to have on-call support and do so 1 week at a time with primary and backup (I'm implied 2nd backup if not higher in chain). But my google voice n

I think that norms are what are keep them most things in check and to preserve legitimacy they rule mostly on constitutional issues but I'm sure they can review any ruling in lower courts that they like or even overturn old rulings as

Frankly, what you just wrote is what I want to hear in an interview. That you were first and the team grew around you and if mistakes were made how what would you do differently. To me, the company/team talk eats away at the limited t

Troy's site does indicate which site breach it came from generally. I ran my emails and found it funny when myspace came up (and others I was aware of). I guess I did have an account there after all but I've used password safe f

You are a good person. Money is really good to keep separate though at least for many people I think. I've done similar things like loaned my older brother enough to get through nursing school as he was stocking at Target at 33 and I

Cannot speak for all but usually its money. Many companies cap technical tracks pretty fast while management is uncapped. Next as as you go further in your career then management as a nearly universally considered a valid next step. For

Cynically, I think its not that they don't understand its that they don't care and that it is why you are probably there to care for them and solve it. I have similar engineers and its a struggle. Didn't Douglas Adams inven

I don't know how i survived those Seagates. Lasted maybe a year and started dropping like flies. Synology seems to recommend identical drives as i recall but work fine with different sizes and makers afaict.

Pagination at least gives a hint as to what is loaded and if i need to repeat search again on next page. This is harder when you don't know what is actually loaded without scrolling.

Perhaps my NVidia tablet is out of date but that link comes up secure connection failed under Firefox Focus. I have not done deep dive to study but not a common issue for me with focus. (Edit: might be intermediate cerificates issue.)

I relate to this and am same. I still feel guilt sometime because I release something and work on it for a couple weeks but then I'm usually done. Its likely full of issues but did what I wanted. Sometimes a community forms around it

This capture my view as well. In the past decade few of the projects I worked on were mechanical. New languages/frameworks lead to new classes of problems and much of the overtime is troubleshooting and working around those. Some tim

That probably works if customer has no other choice. Not familiar with how the numbers work here but it seems like if the customer refinances with another company then there is money left on the table and they just lost out. Also presumabl

I'm a few years removed from 3D work so take this with a grain of salt especially since today was first time I've seen GITF. I've implemented several 3ds Max Game Asset importer/exporter tools for modding over past deca

Still only matters for first job and then if you have nothing else to show. As a hiring manager, its a minus for me to see unless its for intern. But surprising how often i see on cvs. (Speaking as former top of ChE class and frequent out

Also Dapper fan. I like mapping into objects without code generation and complicated queries are easier to write compared to LINQ if familiar with actual SQL. Only thing I really don't like is bulk inserts as it will do one statement

Problem is not every language will implement DateTime the same and I had same problem with protobuf and thrift. I stuck to ISO 8601 format string for standardizing time. I could circumvent the type system via arbitrary json type but I&#x27
