Everyone uses social media differently I guess, but in my case I almost exclusively follow and am followed by people who I know. I intentionally don't tag my posts. I love it this way. I get to see what my friends are up to, and share

Agreed in theory, but if you want a job at $bigco you don't have much choice in the process.

Same here actually, except a bit later if I'm not waking up to an alarm, I will drift towards waking up at 1-2pm and don't have as much trouble getting to sleep. Even then I can easily make myself stay up later than usual, and wou

I always have a hard time going to sleep at a consistent time; it's much easier for me to stay up a couple of hours later than it is to go to bed even a half hour earlier. The two easiest ways for me to lose track of time and end up am

Do you have any links to case studies where this was tried and failed? Every example I've seen ends up being like my story, we did a half-assed version as a trial and it flopped so we gave up. I'm not denying the existence of time

besides haystack, needle vs needle, haystack, what do you view as so bad about PHP's standard library? The main critique I've heard is that it's so big, but it's hard to see that as a downside unless you're a mainta

Why does everyone think that the solution to traffic problems is to first make driving even more terrible and then oh yeah maybe get around to improving or even providing public transit? Why can't we swap the order, especially when it

Hi Cliff! I love these klein bottles and have always wanted ask if you'd consider trying to make one that can function as a chemex style coffee maker? Somewhat like the wine bottle but with an opening the right size for a chemex filter

Definitely a possibility, but whatever the reason it drastically affects performance so it's something that needs to be overcome. Also if the company has a strong culture of openness and collaboration, examples of everyone else constan

None of these are things that directly lead to firing (aside: deadlines shouldn't just be handed down to developers, and deadlines shouldn't be so rigid there's no room for mistakes), of course you try to mentor and provide g

Yeah that's definitely a company culture thing too, breaking things at some places is considered terrible and the company would prefer a 5x longer development cycle for half as many bugs. But clever code usually takes longer to write a

If you hire enough people, eventually you'll have a bunch of examples for this question, unless of course you never make mistakes. Pretty much everything you can imagine can go wrong and probably more. Hiring anyone is always a risk bu

"You can’t build a decent modern application without frameworks." Bullshit, especially on the PHP / backend side. It's 2017, we should know how to avoid over engineering simple things.

Under sink RO is not a big deal, you can buy a system for relatively cheap at Sams or probably Costco, and there's not much that you have to know, just change the prefilters when you are supposed to. Depending on the bladder and how mu

I was surprised it said Sprouts was also in trouble, the one near us seems to get lots of business and we go there every week as well, for produce sometimes their organic stuff is even cheaper than Safeway's conventional produce so it&

I think the best way to fully quell the objections involves subresource integrity but I think the ideal way to deal would be to add a new attribute, sameas=" https://canonical jquery link" or something along those lines

False. It's relatively easy for SPAs to handle the back button gracefully, you can change the URL to indicate the state of the app and add it to the browser history, listen for url change events to then change the state, etc. Groovesha

Even if all your code resides on the backend, there's no reason why you can't maintain a similar separation between front end/display logic, and backend logic where data can be passed between the two layers but neither makes

I think SPAs make sense for a very limited set of applications. I worked on Grooveshark, which was an SPA by necessity - you don't want page refreshes breaking music playback. We had to do an insane amount of work to get initial load t

This looks nice, Thunderbird was certainly looking incredibly dated last time I used it, but the reason I ultimately gave up on it was performance. Once you have a massive amount of email it can be unpredictable and sluggish.

The portfolio is usually not worth much. Each project has ~4 people working on it, so it's hard to tell how much credit / blame you should get for it. And since you were at a bootcamp motivated to see you finish, how much hand hol

As a hiring manager who has interviewed many many bootcamp grads and supervised a couple, I don't think they're are worth it. They're vastly overpromising what skill level you will be at when you graduate and how easily you w

xtrabackup does differential backups as well...is there another advantage to doing logical backups? are the diffs significantly smaller?

by wanderr 10y ago
Why mysqldump instead of Percona's xtrabackup/innobackupex? I was under the impression that the latter had a lot of advantages and have been considering switching, wondering if there is a good reason not to.

presumably github will only let you rebase-merge if there are no conflicts. In my experience though rebase tends to have more conflicts requiring manual intervention vs merge, but that feels safer to me than merge occasionally automatically

by wanderr 10y ago
what are the safety advantages?
178.
by wanderr 10y ago
I came here to say the same thing. The rebase option is awesome IMO because it causes git to show the commits in the chronological position of when they were added to master rather than jumbled in back to when the author originally started
