I think the point is that basic politeness involves not appearances of being polite, but rather thinking of the other person, their time, and how you would feel if the roles were reversed. I do agree though that going as far as to register

If you have the freedom, since work is leaking into your fun time, try to allow fun to leak into your work time more. It's not as important to keep your life separated into little boxes as it is making sure your health isn't negle

Honestly, like all decisions, there were many factors. A big hurdle in this instance was that the existing application was written using a PHP framework that made generating something like a SwaggerDoc an extreme pain. Since we knew we&#x27

For the project I'm talking about there wasn't an existing swagger implementation. The bottom line ended up being that since we had tests in Postman anyway, generating documentation became a few small steps (Add nicer descriptions

I reviewed Slate for one of my clients' private APIs. We ended up using Postman's API docs instead. The logic that brought us to that point were: 1. The ability to generate/sync documentation from a Postman collection meant w

I'm not surprised in the least. I've sat in multiple meetings with execs whose boards have told them, "We need to get into this AI game, it could solve all our scaling problems!" Often both the board and the exec are clu

IMO the better way to design a product like this to avoid abuse would be to simply force them to sign in using each platform they want to link to. At that point all you're building is a way for people to say, "These 5 social media

I often get mail from AT&T or some other big-corp with a handwriting-like font on it, but they aren't sophisticated enough to vary the letters, so it's a dead giveaway that it's just junk mail. Sadly, the day those guys m

I might even take it a step further and say no product should be rendered unusable without an Internet connection unless the Internet is an absolute requirement of the product’s basic function. I.e even IoT devices ought to be able to be ai

Rather than “stop overthinking”, which I find to be similar to asking a fish to breathe air, I tend to try to just accept and embrace unproductive moments, knowing that they arise from time to time. I believe they are a necessary part of me

I'm sure it's been said before, but I just continue to be surprised that the admin panel used to carry out this attack wasn't locked behind a VPN. I've worked for multiple fully-remote companies that were easily able to

I think I'm going to disagree with this. I've seen lots of these systems foisted upon employees and the general result is people either try to game the system or else people feel forced into participating when they don't wish

Not to mention he can literally just sit on the BTC until he decides how to best convert it into cash anonymously. And if he hasn’t already goofed up in a way that will get him caught then there’s basically 0 risk of legal repercussions at

I mean, is it really this hard? This is not a good/bad manager problem to me, this is an organizational culture kind of problem. As a manager I'd expect my three top priorities to be ensuring enough devs are on the team, communica

I haven’t seen that data, and it is a fair point. Still, I would argue that at least part of that shift is a result of changes in employability. When my parents were in school, a college degree was not yet considered a pre-requisite for so

All this bearing in mind we haven’t really seen any sustainable improvement in test scores in the last ~50 years. What is even the point of having an education arms race while the same people groups average pretty much the same aptitude for

Not picking a side on Zoom, but the idea that people in poorer countries can’t restrain their impulses to a high degree is preposterous bordering on insulting. The US doesn’t censor based on a moral compass, either. They censor based on an

I haven't used really any form of social media (besides HN I suppose) in close to a decade at this point, and I don't feel at all disconnected or left out. Instead I tend to feel real benefits from: 1. Being hard to "reach&qu

Not to mention tuples and (soon in C# 9!) record types.

Yeah, though it basically amounts to syntactic sugar at this point.

I also use (and enjoy) YNAB. I have some manual accounts and some automatic. I suppose what I'm working on isn't even technically a budget so much as it is a forecast. But of course it'll still be only as accurate as the data

What do you use a personal budget for?

Interestingly, Methuselah died the same year that the Flood happened, so you might assume he would have lived longer had his grandson not been instructed to build a party boat that he wasn't invited to...

I've had the joy(?) of working for a company for close to 10 years, moving on to other work for about 5 years, and then returning again. During my first tour with the company I built, among other things: - (on a two-person team) an ASP

It definitely takes a long view approach. A couple important aspects of building a steaming following are structure and consistency. If you give people a clear idea of what to expect from your stream and when it will be live, and if you don

Honestly, unless I'm working on a Windows machine, I find JetBrains Rider to be the best option for C# specifically. This is especially true if you like having your tests easily accessible from your IDE. That said, VSCode is still very

Sort of OT but "integrity" is one of my favorite words. Imagine everyone you interact with has a small, slightly different picture of who you are. If those pieces could all be combined, they should form a consistent, accurate and

Ah, good catch. I skimmed for the Bosch product but didn't see it the first time.

Immediately thought of the Bosch Light Drive[0] product when I saw this. There's been no news since they were unveiled, though, as far as I can tell... [0] https://www.bosch-sensortec.com/products/optical-microsyst
