One critical difference is the date attached to youtube videos. It's easy to verify that a video was made before this tech was available, but you can't do that with websites, or search engine result pages. It does limit utility fo

The irony is that they're still using parent IDs in their data. Instead of storing it in a dedicated column with an optimized data type, it's being prepended to the data string. It might not be a number, and it might not be in an

Sure. But the point was that if you're a team of 1 engineer, even if your title is CTO, time spent learning "how to be a CTO" when you don't have any team whatsoever is time not spent building the prototype that needs to

I don't think the parent comment means only code, never learn. I think their intention was to not worry too much about the "CTO" title and instead focus on building the product at hand.

What the author seems to miss is that a "resource" in the REST sense (in practical usage at least. I'll leave the official recommendation pedantry to those who care for it more strongly than I do) doesn't need to reflect

I'll second this. I'd love to contribute, especially in the aim of helping fellow HN-ers. I come here daily and admire the culture built on HN, and would appreciate being part of helping out HNers in need of assistance.

Your previous comment came off very genuine. If clarity of statement is important, it might be worth ensuring your actual intent is made unambiguously clear somewhere in message, if that message is otherwise ironic or sarcastic.

This is my reaction as well. I like the idea of collapsing a simple method into a single line, but the `=` makes it such a weird thing to actually parse. I wonder what prevented them with using a proc-like braces syntax, which would be intu

For the sake of clarity (not intended as a challenge), what do you consider the optimal experience to be?

Would this mean that any data I happened to have in memory during the flow now permanently lives in callstacking's data stores? How does it handle all the data flowing through from a security perspective?

I also sometimes use it to then open the gem source code and insert a `binding.pry` to debug but that's... uh... not something I'd really endorse.

Another wonderful helper in Pry is `show-method`. If you type in `show-method Foo.bar`, it will pull up the source code for that method, or class, or whatever you pass to it. Great for looking something up when you don't understand wha

I tend to do this in code review. But what I consider critical is that it comes without a "I want this changed" mentality, and instead a "let's find something we can improve on for next time" mentality. The current

Until they search for "Vore feeder" and arrive at very unexpected results. The welcome of those results may vary from person to person, though.

This was my take as well. It seems like the author did the bare minimum to communicate the state of the project and is now complaining when people don't understand the situation. For all the anxiety they feel, it could have been preven

The irony is that is absolutely does have business value. Unfortunately, it's easier to quantify the problems you've had on prod than the problems you've prevented on prod, so people tend to measure against the former.

That's not unusual for small studios. Oftentimes people get an electric countertop stove and/or toaster oven. I know that's not ideal, but how does that compromise compare to living in a van? Do you prefer to live without any

That sounds like toxic communication to me. I bet if you took a 10 second pause before saying something is wrong, then you would be able to come up with a form of expressing your opinion that isn't phrased in such an absolutist matter.

I think deadmutex is pointing at a bit of irony and hypocrisy at how we're saying it's bad for people to feel entitled to free adblock support (and ask for more) but champion people feeling entitled to free videos by blocking the

Ars, reporting on websites taking someone's code and attaching ads to it, takes quotes from that person's blog and attaches ads to it. I wonder if the irony is lost on them.

Whenever scheduling interviews I tend to ask them to add 15-30 minutes to the expected time so that I'm sure to have time for my own questions.

Imagine if someone used those scare-quotes when talking about a group of humans. I don't know if they intended them as a form of personification, but it's surely unnecessary either way.

This happens to me as well. I wonder whether they just ignore that selection now, or if Bing somehow is able to tell the user region despite DDG not sharing it with them.

If it helps at all, keep in mind that many people who think they're doing object-oriented ruby are actually doing functional programming. Take a look at the Service Object pattern--A globally accessible reference with a singular method

by ysavir 3y ago
Ruby is generally an object-oriented language, at least in practice if not by design, and pattern matching goes against the object-oriented grain (in my opinion, at least-would love to hear others). The object oriented approach isn't t
