I am someone who has changed development jobs quite a lot, far more than the average for my seniority. Skill in software engineering can't just be measured by skill at writing the language, and this is trending forward faster and faste

> they had proved out the idea You can just say "they had proven the idea". Adding "out" to verbs is very fashionable but unnecessary.

I just don't think Winer should be used as an authority for anything like this. What he pioneered was "just make it work for the user" solutions from a usability perspective, and not from an engineering perspective. Winer par

Java NIO does exactly what you describe. IO is chunked optimally, the entire buffer is pulled, the API exposes a select() mechanism just like any libc, and the user is expected to frame its own received data. edit: Lemire is showing a lack

This is absurd, the original platform libraries do not account for the fastest use-cases in any specialized IO case. Java NIO channel should have been used for this. It was demonstrated back in the early 2000s with the "Grand Canyon&qu

To be perfectly frank: it is our right to be put off by tattoos and the motivations behind them, just as it is your right to have them. Mewling that you are "hated" for your tattoos really just satisfies many of us that you got yo

I suspect that in cases of moderate stress this mechanism is adaptive. And in extreme cases it is catastrophic.

From the first day I played Diablo I realized it was basically the most polished and fantastic Angband I had ever played. I never considered permadeath an important part of Angband or any other roguelike because I always scummed.

Managers of every kind have to deal with personnel, meaning humans, and this is a huge part of what they have to accomplish. They divide their time between humanistic goals and project goals, and it's very squishy. Managers have to dev

I think this is actually the best book for learning to draw animals. I've had a copy for over 30 years, and I still like to go back to it sometimes. https://www.amazon.com/Draw-Animals-Perigee-Jack-Hamm/dp/039

People have a strange idea of what "best and brightest" work entails. I work with Java 8 on a greenfield high-frequency transaction platform for a very large company. It is extremely satisfying to build the "world's larg

You're just declaring more bounded context. You are a linesman? A sewage engineer? That's not a compelling argument for showing that you understand the difference between the pump station and the treatment center. Changing the met

Sounds like you are in the wrong profession and the wrong neighborhood. Or maybe you just enjoy being on the margin, which is fine. Either way, hating railroads and sewer pipes and comptrollers is sort of pointless. Finally: Every context i

> Have you checked how Springs DI works? Clean is far from how I would describe it. Yes. Have you ever looked under the covers of an RDBMS, or your local libc? Platform code is never "clean", but application code should be. &gt

I suspect yours is a bounded context. Wishing Java would pass away is like wishing the government would stop building roads and taxing you for them. You might not like building infrastructure, but you will continue to use it. If this descri

What people rarely acknowledge is that Java has been gross largely because of its self-fulfilled destiny as an all-encompassing enterprise platform. The Java being written these days with Spring Boot is as clean and readable as most other s

This is an essay about maximizing personal outcomes. Maximize for income, for impact, for prestige, for a software outcome, you can differentiate on all these things but you are still essentially a thief. Software is a collaboration and I w

I'm curious, what situations are you imagining, that swerving a moving car is the safe move? Like, that's ridiculous.

I drive and cycle, and somehow I just do not find cyclists irritating. When are they ever inconveniencing me? It simply does not happen. How can a cyclist possibly ruin my commute, no matter how he rides? It is inconceivable to me that your

I had an accident like this. I was hauling ass down a one-way, two-lane street in the bike lane (shoulder). A woman in a sedan pulled in from a side street on the left, crossed into the right lane, then swerved across my lane to make a righ

Perhaps they do not. The rule that slower traffic always has the right of way should be observed.

It seems to generate the elements of certain styles, but there is no ligature or movement in the overall music at all. I suppose this meets the definition of "ambient" but it is not really suitable for the genre.

The end product is a model. If you can't describe how that model makes its way into a product and is consumed, then you aren't a pro, the end. From the product's perspective, all you produce is a configuration file.

That code sets stack vars and calls out to the actual work. This is a perfect example of what's perplexing me about the "learning" industry. https://i.redd.it/00824ycw3hwy.jpg That code also uses pickle to se

Same issue here, and I run similar workloads. When I get to work in the morning I just expect that I'll be rebooting this PoS as soon as I open it.

"He got interested in bitcoin in college because he liked the idea of a form of money that couldn’t be manipulated by governments." Of course he did. The idea of making money by manipulating governments takes money to begin with.

The spectrum is really marvelous. It's amazing to see how many different kinds of people, with many different motivations, will waste their time on speculative crypto-coins.

This is such a passive attitude. I don't think the passive, judging members of tech organizations will ever take responsibility for how they are dragging their orgs down. Because, by definition, they are passive and take responsibility
