My company issues a laptop to every employee, you can also buy a mouse and keyboard, headset, various dongles, monitor, through our company portal. So that money is mainly used for a chair and desk, or really anything else you want. Even if

You already have a company laptop, computer accessories can be bought through the company. So it’s mostly for desk and chairs.

My company (a large multinational bank) (about 100K employees) introduce their "future way of working" back in April. This came after most of our offices in different regions working from home due to covid. Much to my surprise, th

I’ve lived in Hong Kong for close to 10 years, and I never even thought about why almost every MTR entrance has a couple of steps up, only to go back down.

I often face the same problem. Sometimes I just don’t really know what to look for or how to search, asking for help through email / IM often helps, because I need to explain the issue to someone else, and articulate what is expected.

Having done front-end for over 10 years, these interview questions still scare me, because I haven't used any of those in the real world.

This is actively going on where I work. Granted, it’s a financial company, so they take security pretty serious. During our last release, we had to go through 3 different teams, all doing different security scans. One if them is scanning al

I disagree, knowing the good parts about JavaScript isn’t difficult. What’s more difficult is being able to explain the bad parts about your main language. And JavaScript has quite a few, if you’re not able to highlight those, I wouldn’t co

People know what they like about it (the good parts), it takes a more experienced person to be able to explain what they dont like.

by woutr_be 5y ago
A better question would be, especially for JavaScript; “what are the bad parts about JavaScript?”. A person with actual real life experience will at least be able to list a couple.

Oh really, I’ve been looking for that, but was never able to find it. I’ll take another look later today.

The way that users work with Fastmail, is that each user has a single email address, the rest just acts as aliases to that address. So when receiving works, sending always happens with the main address. For small projects, I don’t necessari

Yes, but you pay per “user”. So if you want to separate your accounts, you want multiple users.

Also another happy Migadu user, on their micro plan. I mainly use it for small projects, it’s great because I pay a flat $19 fee for unlimited domains. I’m happy to upgrade once a project requires it. For my personal domain email, I use Fas

I’ve experienced both, were the dev team also had to do QA, and a dev team with QA people. I personally hated writing automated tests, but it did give me a much deeper understanding of the product. Especially when writing tests for features

My company also enforces some pretty strict rules; no repeating combinations, or things like “1234” or “abcd”. I suspect most people now have to write down their passwords, making it less safe.

They don’t. They just use “console.log”, you see it because you opened the console. It’s not like they know you’re there and then write a message.

I have been using JS for almost 10 years, and have written quite a few big apps with it, both front- and back-end, but only a handful of times have I experienced this “weird” issues. Nobody writes code like that, I only know of these things

Do password requirements even matter? I get having a minimum length, but many sites still require specific characters to be present.

I use TypeORM quite often, especially in projects with fairly simple queries. But I always make it a point to: * Write migrations first, so that you define your own schemas * Disable TypeORM synchronize, make your migrations the source of t

Doesn’t seem all that unlikely, I’ve personally gone weeks without writing code, usually leading up to a release where a lot of documentation and preparation has to be done.

That it’s mostly just a cold call type of thing; I get emails and LinkedIn messages with the most generic company and job description, with at the end just a “lets have a call when you are interested”. Interested in what? Your generic “fint

I just see Reddit as a directory/RSS feed, it's great to quickly go through news articles and see what's happening. However once I get into the comments or user generated content, I quickly get annoyed and close it again.

I still don’t know if I trust CloudFlare Analytics. The numbers I see there are widely different from numbers on GA or alternatives.

I don’t disagree. Just sharing my opinion. I understand people might look forward to going back to the office, but I’m not.

I agree. And as an introvert, working from home has actually made work more fun. I never liked sitting in a room with other people, nor did I like going out for lunch with my colleagues or having to do small talk face to face. I hated havin

Is there a chart to see how much they committed to both fossil fuel and green energy over time? These two numbers by itself don’t really tell me anything. But if let’s say fossil fuel commitment has gone down, while green energy goes up, th
