> And let's keep in mind, the entire purpose of a standard USB-C port is that you can use any charger. What the stated purpose is is irrelevant. The reality is that not all usb devices or even cables are the same. If you don't

I would add different countries set their protection laws largely independently, meaning the specific protections will be different. US/EU are large enough so that our protection laws kinda become a possible standard for other countrie

No, that's not what I do. But I can structure my application so that the innards are not tied to AWS APIs. For example, SNS is just a small messaging module that I can easily replace for something else by reimplementing literally half

I think all this work could be useful if only those people understood that the technology is not mature enough to remove people from the loop. For the case of AI analysing x-ray photos, the obvious solution would be a system that can tag

Wow, just came up with fantastic interview question (just kidding). But, yeah, this is a good point. I interview senior engineers (mostly Java) a lot and I work with a lot of people like managers, tech leads, architects and senior engineers

It is the same old story, later repeated with agile manifesto, REST, and so on. They became misunderstood and abused by enough people that the terms stopped meaning anything useful in public space. When I hear a company say "we're

I actually have the fricking book on my bookshelf. The first paragraph on the first page of the book starts: "This book isn't an introduction to object-oriented technology or design. Many books already do a good job of that. This

Whether a given investment is highest return option for your investment does not change with interest rate. So it does not matter how high interest rates will go. One thing you might be looking at, though, is if high interest rates somehow

Nobody ever claimed that GoF is a complete set of patterns. It is just a subset of patterns from infinite variety of possible solutions to problems.

Experience shows that the path to being #1 is usually to some extent doing a lot of stuff around the topic, throwing a lot of darts at the board and seeing what sticks.

I would like to point out that if United States won't do it then other countries and large companies will take the lead. And in fact they are already doing it. And while it might not be bringing a lot of tangible returns for US citizen

I believe running your heart at such high intensity every day isn't particularly healthy. It causes scarring of the heart tissue and possible problems as you age. I think watching this Ted might be helpful: https://www.youtu

It made the news, and not just the fact of the dump happening but also individual documents from the dump. And how is dumping documents different from publishing raw video and letting it speak for itself?

So you say that a person who publishes recording of a public figure taking a bribe is not a journalist because they did not process it -- the material itself was news-worthy already and so because they didn't have to do anything they c

The problem with this is who and at what point is deciding it. There is a lot of people who would like to mark certain journalists as not journalists because they just don't like what they publish. Freedom of speech requires that peopl

I am a fan of mixing functional and object oriented (and also some other paradigms). Functional is great in cutting amount of repeatable code. It is great for writing tools to process things regardless of their exact type and for writing in

That's why my personal favourite tool to manage this is pair programming with people. I do pair programming for interviews and I do longer (at least a week) pair programming projects with all my devs at some point. It not only lets me

I have quarter century of experience in software development and have been programming most days for the past 30 years. Can't say how I am stacking up against developers with same level of experience but I can say with no exaggeration

Programming a short example that you trained to do for a long time when exercising for interviews is one thing and figuring out how to modify a large application in a desired way is completely different.

Oh, yes, this quote I lacked. Also, when you fire one person, you have to explain in detail why this person. You open yourself to risk of being called for discrimination whether you intended it or not. All this scrutiny disappears when you
