If it’s not your daily job, I don’t see the harm. Sometimes I use ChatGPT for something I absolutely don’t care about. But if it is, then I think you’re trading it for a career of trial and error. Regularly I watch people at work spend a we

Although it’s a little more complicated, generally if you can cover a loss out of pocket, then you don’t need insurance. Insurance is for losses that will have a major impact on you. It’s putting a price on risk.

Don’t buy insurance from the same company giving you the service. Insurance is for you and you should pick it from your own choice of company and you should tailor the policy for your own needs. Same with financing. In my case, I get a lot

In my opinion, not being able to call out vague requirements is a red flag for any senior role, staff or not. I call our vague requirements not because it's part of a certain process or something I read from a book. It's because I

During the pandemic, my roommate and I built so much shit. We built a full wooden camper setup with electrical and plumbing. We sketched and crafted new furniture for our apartment. We designed and built our own hydroponics system. And we s

In my opinion, it's not that he wants to control so much as that his goal is going to Mars. Someone that goes to work to do the tasks assigned to them (which applies to both managers and those on the line) vs. someone that goes to work

Hit concrete in the right corner on an iPhone and it will break. For me, it's just not worth it. Had iPhones break while on trips and it's just an absolute hassle dealing with replacements, especially when there aren't Apple

The AI stuff could be useful if it makes Siri more useful. Like when I'm listening to a Spotify playlist and I want to like the song or save it to a playlist while driving, it would be amazing if I could just tell Siri to do it for me.

It's because systems are highly complex and there are a thousand little things that you need to know to use them. Once you have experience working with it (or even reading enough docs), you know which of those thousand things should ta

Yeah, like moving to IPv6 in a small time frame. People arguing about public vs. private are missing the mark entirely. It has nothing to do with that. It's all about how many people have to do a task. The US govt got to the moon and c

It's not about common interests, it's about having a third place ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place ). A lot of interests need a common space.

This is commonly referred to as your "third place," after your home and your work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place Most kids have a third place growing up, being an extension of school or another pl

It’s because password sucks. You’re supposed to not reuse passwords, but then you don’t remember passwords. So you use a password manager. Until more recently when phones and computers came with built-in password managers, no normal person

Yeah. It causally allowed you to extend the CSS engine in a simplistic way, like what Houdini allows you to do. Houdini is likely way more performant though and substantially way more fleshed out.

Lol i mean in a good way. I like a little unhinged sometimes

I'm excited about the recent work on CSS (particular Houdini). I haven't felt like this since I got a book of IE 5.5 features. Don't get me wrong -- CSS has gotten a lot of new features over the last 14 years, but they'v

What OP did could be done with any containerization platform that abstracted away networking, which should be all of them. Personally I think you should always be using containerization, because even single node Docker is easy. If you are r

The Housbuilding one is like 1. half “you build it yourself”, and 2. half “have someone else build it but you make the plan” I don’t get who the audience for it is. You’re supposed to start at the bottom too but the order is kind of all ove

I think one factor that people forget when they see someone else that dive headfirst into something like low level programming or electrical engineering and then wonder why they haven’t is because maybe you just don’t care. I did personally

Defenders use lists because they have to manage hundreds and thousands of assets at the same time. What do you do when you have to manage a ton of things? You make a list. You go through that list. You apply a checklist. Now should defender

It’s not difficult if you understand what you are trying to do conceptually. For example, if you are trying to say “run this task at this specific time in Los Angeles time” and you put a specific UTC offset, it just doesn’t make any sense.

This is like the difference between electrical engineering and software engineering. It’s just so more expensive to create and test anything in EE so development cycles are much longer. Compare that to software engineering where people are

A grade A implementation would keep a local state that syncs to the server, indicates a sync is in progress, possibly stacks changes to reduce latency if there are a lot of changes + a slow connection and, to a user, gives me utmost confide

Find a new job. My job has hard problems, chill people, and I care a lot about that we build. We do have boring work and spaghetti code in places but to be honest, I unload all of that onto junior devs.

I don’t know if a well-designed democratic government needs to act undemocratically ever. For example, in the US, the Supreme Court is able to expand its powers, but it can always be overridden by the legislative branch by design. The execu

Stripe, Block, and PayPal were never required to process transactions. You can negotiate with a bank to get your own rate and then implement your own secure transaction processing. Visa is still required though. I have worked at companies

This is a technical solution to a non-technical problem. My risk to my credit number being stolen is honestly low. The risk is the merchant providing a substandard service 99% of the time, and an OAuth style payment flow does nothing for th

Your tendency may be that but the reality is my past companies want to ask me to contract for them after I leave, even 7 years later. I uphold a certain quality of work and I expect my peers to do the same. Everyone makes mistakes but even

It’s because PHP’s popularity is old and Postgres used to be mid. MySQL was faster and better than Postgres. But Postgres slowly improved and then got better than MySQL while MySQL stagnated. The most basic bugs persisted, basic features ne
