Building a solid structure is a high skill job! Not as complex as building an application but definitely comparable. I think some people fail to understand how hard it is to be a good contractor. Just like software engineering it requires a

Who benefits? Pretty much everybody except fossil fuel power plant owners. They create much more reliable power grids and eliminate the need for many natural gas power plants that are expensive to maintain and only run during peak power dem

This is basically saying they posted credentials and login information that allowed you to change the recovery email of any account a slack channel. That is unbelievably sloppy on Twitter's part. Not acceptable at a tiny company. I wou

Are you just guessing? I don't see anyone reporting this. I also highly doubt normal Twitter employees can impersonate any users. I would seriously hope it's less than 100 people with the DB or server access necessary to tweet as

I say just the opposite. Let's remove the blue checks and make it difficult to know who's legit and who's impersonating people again. Twitter is used way too seriously. I know that's the opposite of what Twitter as a com

But can't you specifically wire the indicator light to always be lit if the camera has power? I don't see Apple claiming they've done that but a correct design would make the indicator light work that way and be related to so

Yeah...there might be something to this idea but this article doesn't back it's claims with any evidence.

JUST STOP CHANGING THE UI FOR NO REASON! You wouldn't re-write a whole app without a very solid engineering reason. But site after site re-does their UI without any stated reason. For companies I've worked for we did new UI design

I think you misunderstand. Changes for changes sake are negative for users. The last thing you want to do is change something that was working for users without giving them anything for it. However a lot of actively developed software today

I love standups. Been doing them for over a decade as a developer and lead developer. But a lot of people make the mistake of following someone's specific "agile" or whatever system for them. Every team is different and shoul

What? > In reality, there's actually no space in the standup to dive deeper into actual issues. I've never heard of a standup without a parking lot. The entire point of parking lot (and the main value of standup) is to discuss

That said, Florida had beaches open in many areas that people predicted would cause huge surges and they did not from any of the data I've seen.

I was 100% behind the initial lockdowns. We had next to no testing and we were seeing disturbing surges. We needed to lockdown to get a handle on what was going on. But now we know what's going on and we don't seem to have a goal

Seems like we were able to build them quickly enough that we prematurely built them. Wasting tax payer money that could've been invested in things like increasing PPE production for existing hospitals. The core of the issue is that we

Plus learning to recognize toxic environments and avoid them. There's a lot of investors and companies that no one should ever work with because of this. Learning to recognize them is a tricky skill and some people are better off not p

I'm not sure how to explain it but the most important thing I've learned in over a decade of programming experience is to not use regular expressions for many things they may seem like a regular expression problem. For example, ev

I think this idea that white collar jobs require college is generally wrong. The core of the issue is that colleges produce degrees instead of people capable of doing specific jobs. If you want education for education's sake this is fi

The idea of a "10x" developer isn't suppose to be taken so literally. My personal definition of it is just a developer that doesn't get hung up on issues. Majority of developers I've worked with can get stuck on the

I don't think this is a very simple solution at all. It's really just a different vaccine approach and this isn't the first person to suggest it. It's been talked about online since February if not before. Not to say I d

Amazon is an extremely distributed company. Just because it's one company doesn't mean it's centralized.

It's also very normal for viruses to become more mild over time. We strongly react to strong threats. It's in the viruses interest to become a weaker threat like the common cold so we tolerate it instead of actively fighting it.

Out of an abundance of caution I've just been leaving packages in my garage for a week before opening them. If you have the space and can order stuff a week before you need it, I suggest this.

I actually think its' success is largely due to the low mortality rate. At the extreme if it killed 100% of the people it infected then everyone would've locked down borders immediately and taken it very seriously. But instead it&

How do you get a virus from a cooked animal? I get that vegans want to push their agenda but this wouldn't help stop virus spread. It's easy to safely eat animals, you just cook them.

I credit those for the US and European response being so slow coming. None of those became major issues in the US or Europe. The media did it's typical the sky is falling thing and then nothing happened. So, now we have a virus that is

And to expand on this. This is a wildfire. Shutting things down slows the fire's movement which buys time to fully track it and isolate only the affected individuals. Specific to Italy, their hospitals are already past the breaking poi
