In my area at least, hiring isn’t slowing so much, but the quality of the average candidate has cratered in the last 5-10 years. My opinion personally on this is that if you can’t find a job building software, you are suffering from some co

I disagree. As someone who likes PlantUML specifically because it lets me store diagrams as code, I too frequently end up spending just as much time trying to indirectly coerce the thing into the layout I want since it won’t let me position

I switched to VS Code a couple years ago for C# development as it was a faster editor than Visual Studio at the time. But now it’s all of: slower, less reliable and underpowered compared with more recent VS releases, so I’m back to VS prope

Alright, so first of all, the colors don't matter, they're just for contrast/legend purposes. Flame graphs come in all sorts of color schemes, not even necessarily yellow/orange/red. I tend to look at flame graphs i

Is V2 already written? Or are you taking lead on designing and building it?

Also knowing when the thought doesn’t actually count. Being “well-meaning” at the expense of another person is not love. It dismisses their needs as less important than your need to feel as if you did some kind act.

Agreed, and also they tend to be more guessable. Make a page available with an email address as the id and just watch the hackers use it to discover users of your service and attempt to log in as them.

I think the down votes are more because it’s a low-effort take, and this site (while it continues to slide in that direction, still) isn’t Reddit.

Not all AI is hype. We are just surrounded by so much AI hype it’s easy to forget things like Co-pilot didn’t exist just a couple years ago. To say there’s no value in having an assistant to write code at your direction is incorrect.

While I agree with the sentiment in your first paragraph, I think the idea of the second sounds like either working sub-optimally (fixing bugs that don’t need fixing) or else too much management ineptitude to overcome by fixing critical bug

It’s the same principle as investing in retirement. The heavier investments you make early, the greater impact they’ll have down the line. Only with a startup it often ends up being your time instead of money that is sacrificed. Think about

Well I guess I’m just one of the ones who likes to watch the world burn. As a trumpet and guitar player, I watched that clip with great interest.

BeyondCompare does this too, and even though I’ve purchased a license I have some machines where I haven’t activated it in almost a year of infrequent usage :)

Why does it need to keep a long-term history, though? Isn't an ephemeral ping to get the current location enough? Or if you're trying for better resiliency, let it ping as often as you want but be responsible and only cache it for

Tangential story time! Several years ago (circa 2015) I was asked to build an app like FireChat by just the _oddest_ couple of guys I've ever met. They wanted an app where you could connect to other folks just by being near them. I nev

Lync* actually, so imagine talking about new things coming to the System.Linq namespace and the migration to Lync from MSN Messenger at a .NET shop in the late 2000s, confusing the heck out of everyone.

We’ve already agreed to certain food standards. The fact that people don’t follow them is enough for me to say we need something more strict. Is it a headset? Maybe not. But periodic training and availability of PPE aren’t doing the job eit

I’m pretty good navigating when I’m alone. If anyone else is in the car it’s like I’m on autopilot to “wherever my subconscious would like to go today.” So I use the GPS just to snap me out of it so I don’t miss turns.

There’s a subset of the second definition where you delegate all the future fixing time to some unfortunate young developers, both wasting their time and tainting their souls in the process.

Disgusting. For one, it’s none of my employer’s [expletive] business how I conduct myself in private, so long as I’m not harming their reputation or committing crimes. And of course many of these “choices” outline are options only available

I think you might also just roll the inner up, stick it the bottom of a collapsed cover, then grab both an exposed inner corner + side of the cover in each hand and stand up with it, shaking a bit to get it to unroll on the way down.

It isn't fine because it will come up in due diligence as a risk, every single time. It's easy to say "it's fine", and in theory I agree with you. But it's a cost that doesn't make sense if you know what t

AGPL is fine for open source projects. It isn’t really useful for a commercial closed-source or even an open-core codebase in some cases. On the other hand, usually that’s the intention when a project selects AGPL. There’s usually a commerc

Dr. Seuss wrote a book about the blue iMessage bubble. It’s called “The Sneetches”. There are lots of other chat app options that work just as well as iMessage and are cross-platform, but some people like to lord even very superficial super

They probably would if Ford found a way to prevent any after-market accessories from being sold without taking a cut or made proprietary trailer hitches that you had to pay them directly for. Pickup trucks are some of the most hackable devi
