You're assuming both people are working on the same thing. I'm assuming they're not. You're also assuming there's only one task the developer could be working on. That's a very rare scenario.

I understand what you're saying, but for many of us, the threshold is much higher for a call. I tend to, and I know I'm not alone here, accomplish most of my work in very focused blocks that often take me multiple hours to get int

It could. It means that inflation / deflation will be linked to the wider EU economy and not responsive to the particular economic conditions of Croatia. This was a big deal in Greece when inflation would have helped their economy by

In the thread on what a future with fusion would like, where energy costs approached zero, one of the questions posed was, "What would the future look like if energy costs trended towards nothing?" I think desalination is one of t

Depends on the format and your location. If you're in Europe, and mention the size of the bulbs then I sometimes have preferences. Unfortunately, some of my go-to bulbs here are no longer in production. (Honestly, I have the feeli

CRI80 bulbs just grate on me. Even some of the ones rated 90 I find a little annoying (which I've occasionally had to settle for for e.g. downlights in a particular depth). And some of mine that I've bought that are rated 95+, I

To add a couple concrete questions: - Did you experiment with any of the super high powered single LEDs? (e.g. 200-500w) - How big a problem is monitor glare? Do you have a special monitor (e.g. Studio Display)? I have a 400 nit monitor

I'm interested in your light setup, particularly if you happen to use high-CRI bulbs. It also took me ages to realize how large of an effect SAD had on me. I grew up in Texas, where it wasn't much of a thing, but went to college

That's actually very common in a lot of countries. I think the US is the outlier in the expectation that notice and stopping of work are concurrent. Same with quitting a job. In Germany it's normal to give 3 months notice befor

It's capped at about €2000/month, but one thing making up the 30% there is that it's income tax-free, and your health insurance payments are a lot less (since they're income based).

My ex worked at a startup where she was hired as a the second or third data scientist. Their entire Posgress database dump was 20 MB. And they had three people working full time on analyzing ... that 20 MB.

Virtually every language has a mode to make calls into the C ABI. That's exactly the point of the article. To switch in to C ABI mode in C++ you have to wrap the declarations in 'extern "C" { ... }' blocks, otherwi

A nitpick: please don't conflate C and C++. They're separate languages, this article is exclusively about C, and C++ is an instance of one of the languages that "speaks C". C++ has its own symbol mangling and ABI, whi

That's really not true. Where I went to college has gone from $14,000 to $38,240 in the past 22 years. Inflation would have predicted it be $24,130. That's a private school that back then had a beautiful campus, good food, good

It's not just at runtime -- again, a common case for me (I maintain Ruby, Java, and C++ codebases that are 15 years old) are in major framework upgrades. I've got Rails apps that were written for Rails 2 that are now on Rails 6.
