Right, but then you are invoking curl several times, and so not reusing a single connection, as you would with wget -i, so it still loses.

Also add -i which lets wget read URLs from a file. In particular wget -i - which makes it read from standard input, and is very useful in pipelines. curl cannot, AFAIK, do this. People usually suggest using xargs, which is a mediocre substi

HR are not going to reject an incredibly experienced senior guy with a CV as long as your arm because of the title of a blog post. Your quote doesn't even suggest they would, and I'm not going to cite any evidence because it&#

The team being described here was one where all work was done paired. Senior engineers were never delivering by themselves. It sounds like you have experience of teams which are not like that, which makes comparisons ineffective. The real r

I've had some horrendous experiences using Google Maps for cycling in the UK too. Mostly it's very good, and it's impressive how good it is, really, but it's the times it gets it wrong that you remember. Routing me throu

In Discordian beliefs, everyone (even non-Discordians) is a pope, so this is perfectly legitimate.

To be clear: by "hot", you literally mean physical temperature? That's rather ingenious, i like it! I wonder i you could also measure power consumption.

I'm guessing this is a reference to the movement by some people to use that term instead of "whitelist" on the grounds that the latter is racist. There's a division over whether this is silly or not.

In the grass north of the runway, you can see a pattern of scars, all the same length, mostly orthogonal, and a few diagonal. These are almost surely archaeological trial trenches: https://www.borderarchaeology.com/services&

I've also seen these awful interminable standups. But i've also seen quick and effective standups, even on a big team. The difference is simply discipline. If you ask a developer to talk about what they did yesterday, their instin

I recently bought some new bike hubs. There are many ways hubs can vary, many of which are critical for compatibility, so you have to get them right. Good faceted search makes this very easy, and its absence makes it agony. This is good: h

Gradle is expressive and extensible, but unfortunately, that encourages programmers to express themselves and extend it.

Gradle is declarative. The 'code' you write does not conduct the build; it assembles an object graph which describes the build, much like the one you get from parsing the Maven XML. The advantage of using code for this is that you

Just do the build in a container modelling the appropriate environment. You don't need cooperation from the build tools (apart from controlling instruction selection), and you also don't need to trust that the build tool has imple

Right now, things are pretty good. But this is surprisingly recent. Gradle and Maven have both been good at managing dependency versions for a long time. Gradle has also been good at managing the Gradle version, via the wrapper, for a long

This JVM has no JIT, so OpenJDK and Graal will rather more than inch past it. It's not even a given that it will start up faster, since i don't believe it has been optimised nearly as hard.

The comma thing is inherited from C and has always been there. Newer bits of array-like syntax, like varargs and array literals in annotations, do not allow trailing commas.
