What if you implemented the APIs but - someone else proxied your API to the public - someone else leaked credentials you assigned them in the public code of a game As someone working on a team that publishes APIs to the greater large organi

Truthfully, I disagree. I’ve worked at a few different companies and I could absolutely rank them in the quality of their staff. Been on teams where every individual was free to use their best judgement, we didn’t have a lot of documented p

I’m not sure I agree. We now have techniques like immunotherapy for some cancers. Cancer rates still continue to fall. We have a drug now that you can take so you won’t catch HIV, as well as another drug for HIV+ that keeps it at bay. We ha

A repo on GitHub linked from HN wouldn’t need to explain JS. But it should explain CarThing. Idk. Even in Jira tickets, I write a short background section to bring everyone up to speed. I like when everyone gets a chance to be on the same p

I prefer implicit error handling if exceptions are checked and defined as part of the contract, otherwise it’s definitely hard to trace. I know the biggest complaint with checked exceptions is that people tend to just use catch all exceptio

We’re not talking about XML as a data transport format. As a way to ultimately render a view, it has never been elegant. I’ve done it every possible way: - Templating libraries - XHTML with embedded XML data - XML and XLST - XML embedded in

I regularly see gangs of e-bike groms with cellphones terrorizing my town. I'm not sure having a smartphone has at all impacted their outside time.

Not to mention, you even calculate a probability point map. Like I’m not going to hit the center perfectly but I can calculate the circle with a 90% probability of making the shot, given a distance and an object. And you know how much close

If only that were the case on a project at work. The badly copy pasted code has diverged over the years so you have 10 different versions of the same looking code that individually have differing edge cases, half of them by mistake because

They shouldn’t have. Not everyone needs fit an example. Let’s take Markus: before he made Minecraft, he made relatively mediocre games that didn’t get much traction. Minecraft was an exact copy of someone else’s game (Infiniminer) that was

I’m not saying talent is enough. I’m just speaking from my experience. I put a lot of practice into things that I am also talented at and life is good. shrug I put practice into other things like cooking and music too but I’m not going to

I present a different analysis: - All of us are more naturally talented at some things. - When you end up working with your natural talents, you have it easier than everyone else. - Working in your talents often translates to passion, and t

The people I’ve seen drop out of something and succeed are like out-of-this-world fucking good. I think if you have to ask, you shouldn’t.

I’m inclined to agree. I also don’t get people who look up YouTube videos on how to do things in Factorio. What’s the fun part left to do if you just use someone else’s factory or belt design?

You could have actually made this 15 years ago! As a kid I pretty much only knew PHP and Visual Basic so I made CLI servers in PHP (…lol) You could make asynchronous servers using socket_select(), which was added in PHP 4.1. https:/&#

You can’t go back on some sacrifices. e.g. if you overtrain or don’t wait long enough after an injury, you may permanently damage something forever. Speaking from personal experience and knowing a lot of people who have done the same. There

This is some conspiracy BS. Why would Tesla have been invited to a summit that was primarily centered around United Auto Workers? Tesla is non-union. “EV” was only a pretext. The summit didn’t invite any non-US carmakers, who also make EVs.

Writing for reusability also tends to make software testable from my experience. If you make excessively involved units of code, you can't test, but you also can't re-use. And I'm big on reusability because I'm lazy. If

I'm fairly pro-nuclear but the EIA (Energy Information Administration) publishes a "Levelized Costs of New Generation" report every year that compiles the total cost of installing new generation, taking into account the fuel,

This (and the contenteditable attribute) were added in Internet Explorer 5.5 to let you create WYSIWYG editors and it was later reverse engineered and replicated in other browsers. It is still the basis for a lot of WYSIWYG editors, but it&

Sprawl happens when there is available undeveloped land. Roads are just a symptom. People build outwards first and then upwards.

You’re missing the point. It’s not defining what constitutes ultra processed — it’s that no one really knows if it’s bad for you. Because when you study people who eat a certain thing, they also all tend to eat another thing. I religiously

With all due respect, it's not like your average person who drives all the time knows how their car works at all either.

I find this tends to happen when something passes on from its creator to someone else. Wikia/Fandom has passed hands a bit. Other people just have very different values and the direction of an organization reflects this.

People forget to keep track of how long it takes them to do things. I see people bifurcated into "people good at time estimates" and "people who think time estimates are always wrong." The former have been keeping track,

Before AI, product comparison sites were ramblings of interns paid by people who found out you could make money from SEO-optimized blogs. And long before the Internet, people slapped random concoctions together and sold them as medicine, ad
