   I’m active in my favorite language’s development, I work as a SWE, my current project is in a legacy system touching billions of people a year. Prior to that, I worked on a stats-heavy project that needed to make real-time decisions for mil

   Same. It took about 25+ years, and a hobby that happens to pay the bills. Interesting that you say that about how things are similar. It’s so true! The same patterns/abstractions are everywhere, just with different words in them, diffe

   Not everyone does well in a high stakes environment, which is what this sounds like it would create.

   Their answer should include googling the latest accepted specification if they’re going to be making changes or creating new ones from scratch. If their answer is to go to stack overflow, you might have a problem.

   I sometimes market myself as a “true full-stack engineer” and I’d say I’m pretty darn familiar with everything from the machine code, lexer, parser, compiler, linker, language idioms in a few languages, frameworks, CSS, HTML, TCP/IP, a

   You can create a hierarchy of "journals" (a collection of documents, like a folder) and use tags across all journals or have per-journal tags. It's totally up to you how you organize it. You can also set a status on a documen

   Traffic would have to go by a different route. You’d see ridiculous latency, but there are ways without going across the Atlantic. See https://www.submarinecablemap.com/

    I use InkDrop (InkDrop.app) to organize notes. I like it because it’s GH flavored markdown, and when mixed with the prettier plugin it is amazing. Everything I write down (whether it’s SQL queries or an internal doc) starts there. Every pro

    Alcohol is certainly safe, just not while operating machinery or so much that it poisons you. These are pretty much modern problems. Back in the day, it was safer to drink alcoholic beverages than water. Alcohol wasn’t as strong back then,

    I’ve used browser controls for the last 20 years on any form I’ve ever implemented. These days you get validation errors, accessibility, and so much more for free — even if JavaScript is turned off. I can’t think of a reason you’d ever want

    Humanity has been using Olive Oil for at least 1000 years. So that seems pretty safe to me.

    The work ethic in Italy is … interesting. In my experience, they get their shit done when they say it will be done, not when you say it should be done. They enjoy time with family, and time away from work (when I say enjoy, I mean they will

    One of my friends posted the other day about how they dropped off their car to get an oil change. They went and sat down outside, scrolling through their phone. Ten minutes later the cops showed up and told him he couldn’t sleep there and h

    Compared to the US, the NL seems to have far less cops. The cops are mostly just walking around or driving around.. they never pull you over, you just get a ticket in the mail. So there’s police, doing police things. But they never get invo

    I hardly think a face scan during a traffic stop counts as evidence that the infraction was committed. “Look here your honor, anyone with that face would have run a stop sign. No not the face they have, but this photo/3d scan I took!”

    In our mono repo at work, we have a few hundred devs in there daily working just fine. Linters check that there are no relative paths allowed (so you can’t rely on directory structure) and no absolute paths either. If you want to load a fil

    Ah, got it. I get that. With Docker I just put things in their own Docker network and don’t think about it, and use the built-in dns. Docker’s default network doesn’t have DNS for “backwards compatibility reasons” so you have to create one

    The difference is scale. If you make an error, it’s just you that makes the error. If an autopilot dev makes an error, it is amplified to every car on the road. Right now, there’s not a lot of those cars on the road, so we have no idea what

    Does it matter if you’ve turned off all PII collection? If that’s your threat model to your own app though (ie, doing stuff that’s illegal in the US but not where you serve traffic), self hosting is probably the way to go.

    They probably would have gotten away with it longer had they put some kind of sound-proofing and “airlock” type entrance. From the video I note it’s a standard door and wall. Anyone walking by would have heard voices inside.

    I’ve found Azure’s Application Insights to be quite privacy focused. You can host the instance in whatever region you prefer. The UI isn’t all that great, but it seems pretty decent.
