But why the fuck do I need this when I can multi task using screens. It just feels that once they do their final state multiverse and force us inside, we ll still have multiple screens and workspace area to organize. The population is not e

We had one developer woman in our 200 people team, we all respected. She quit "because she didnt feel as good as the rest" she said (ofc, one says what one wants in these circumstances). It felt weird, if I see someone better than

It is relatively high paying where I live (Hong Kong) and just like where I was born (France) or where you stand (US I guess), the 10 to 1 ratio stays. Men of similar social upbringing to these women are stuck to being dockers, fishermen

I lived and worked in both systems: socialist France and laissez faire capitalist Hong Kong, and I can assure you that despite the constant possibility of losing job and healthcare in Hong Kong, the amount of money, the motivation of the pe

Oh I see, I guess us French are very heavily exposed to the NYC mirror ourselves so for us that's "american" when for you there s a clear distinction with how a North Carolinian or a Californian would dream up a French fantas

Watching that as a French was for me like watching what an american would fantasize about the country. It was very weird and interesting and completely discordant but not in a bad way. The May 68 protest part was so weird, both insulting an

I live in China, I think if our asses were so clean, we could all go there and even visit these reform camps they said they built and are not at all cruel and inhumane. You can say the foreigners exagerate, sure they do, with their sudden n

You say far more than any artist but I m not so sure. When we spend 20 years looking at stuff before doing one passably interesting work of art (bar absolute outlying geniuses), it's not a small time nor a small training cost. It may f

Well I m in China myself so unlike the person you re replying to, it's not just a bias but my entire life depending on not invading Taiwan. Nobody here or in other cities I know wants to invade Taiwan: people think it's already Ch

And Algebra ? Cause there are few subjects that help you quite so much to think in the abstract and when it becomes automatic, you see yourself toying with concept from any level without needing to define everything below to anchor them in

This idea we could work as little ants on a factory chain still persists to this day, but UML was the bravest most expensive attempt at "no-code" industrialization they've attempted. Sadly, again and again, it is all destroye

I disagree, the people high on the org chart are clamouring for cloud-based low structure stores on microsoft azure cloud maintained in India, while we warn them that we can migrate at a giant cost for a net loss in efficiency. SQL and dbs

But you dont care as much about rollback (we rarely rollack successful migration and only on prod issues the next few days, and always prepare for it with a reverse script) as you care about the past (can you read data from 2 years ago? thi

It s the same ! Look the syntax of json does not impose a structure (what fields, what order, can I remove a field), making it dangerous for any stable parsing over time.

If you never intend to monitor them systematically, absolutely! If you're a bit serious you can at least impose date, time to the millisecond, pointer to the source of the log line, level, and a message. Let s be crazy and even say the

It's a hassle to change shape in a db possibly, but have you lived through changing the shape of data in a json store where historical data is important ? You either dont care abt the past and cant read it anymore, version your writer
620.
by xwolfi 4y ago
It cant be. Json has a huge structural problem: it's an ASCII representation of a schema+value list, where the schema is repeated with each value. It improved on xml because it doesn't repeat the schema twice, at least... It'

Why native americans didnt invade Europe ? These questions are complex to answer and the answer isn't really one: how many things didnt we do in Europe we could have done if this or that guy had not died or whatever. But, usually Europ

Yeah and when you ask a question to your C++ colleague in that mysterious legacy team, not even on the language, you're convinced they think they're speaking to an imbecile. C++ devs seem to live in a bubble of self admiration, sp

What do you mean by "amount of original content": English has lots of native speakers and is the official language of many countries, and I admit the amount of stuff we publish in French is smaller (albeit the quality or focus is

What can I do with it ? I have many currencies in my Hong Kong bank and have very low fee, no capital gain tax, no criminal desires and no problem using cash. I also dont want to be richer or join a club.
