I'm sure most of the students at the school do know that. The app is completely anonymous, so for all we know, the nasty comments could have been made by just a handful of students.

If you are a large company, you can move faster if devs aren't all working on the same repository. If all your code is in one repo and one team makes a breaking change to their part of it, everyone's code fails to build. If the so

I had a mild stutter when I was younger. It was mainly because I have a tendency to talk too quickly and stumble over my own words. I recommend trying to consciously slow the speed at which you talk. Perhaps that will solve the stuttering.

Just FYI, it's spelled "tic" without the k. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tic I had a friend in high school who had some minor tics. Funnily enough, he also talked rather slowly and deliberately.

Most big tech companies use a service-oriented architecture. The website is composed of many small services which communicate with each other over HTTP or RPC protocols. Each service has its own version control repo and is maintained by a d

Why would they put that all in the same repository? I'm pretty sure this 8 GB repo is just their website code. A frontend dev working on a Timeline feature shouldn't have to check out the Linux kernel.

If you don't have the source that produced those binaries your only choice is to have them downloadable from somewhere else (which is a real hassle for the developer) or just check them into the repo.

Wow, that is amazingly compact. Without comments the main function is only 12 lines.

When I was visiting my relatives in China I never got the sense that cooks were more highly respected. It's pretty much the same there. The cooks work in the kitchen and you generally don't see their face or know who they are unle

> at a lot of bars, the point seems to be to interact with other patrons Not really. The bar gets money from you drinking, not from you talking. That's why they play the music so damn loud.

Really? Very few of the restaurants I've frequented in NYC and Seattle had bars. This is probably because I usually eat at inexpensive Asian restaurants if I ever eat out. I've never had a problem just eating alone at a regular ta

by zhemao 13y ago
Yeah, I know. I don't really have a problem eating alone in a regular restaurant. I think it would feel more awkward in a restaurant where the tables are meant to have only one person.

Ever been to an old-style American diner? They also have counters where you can eat by yourself. Counter tables in restaurants are not unique to Japan. There are also night market food stands which are popular in Taiwan and overseas Chinese

Hmm, perhaps I'm atypical. I generally don't leave my email open and respond in real time. I tend to do it in batches, so I reopen gmail multiple times a day.

It depends on what business you are in. Some are more tightly regulated than others. For instance: healthcare, telecom, and finance.

Oh yeah, that's a good question. I've helped people with RPi audio projects before and getting external microphones to work consistently has been one of the biggest pains.

I'm not even sure why that's part of the article at all. The piece is originally about dealing with smart jerks and suddenly the author switches to talking about bringing in older employees?

Yeah, but Gmail's inbox view is paginated. I don't think the number of conversations shown on a single page has changed since then. Maybe the conversations themselves have gotten longer? I'm sure Google's engineers could

Your biggest impediment as a hobbyist smartphone builder would be complying with FCC regulations on the cell antenna.

I find it funny that Page complained about Gmail taking 600 milliseconds to load back when it was created. It probably takes longer than that these days unless you have a really fast connection.

Really? Ada Initiative is going to throw away a partnership that was beneficial to them and their constituents because of unproven allegations of harassment by a founder and his wife against a single employee? If Github was truly hostile to

The chart only shows presence or absence of human settlement. Just because there are people there doesn't mean there are a lot of people there. Outside of big urban areas like SF, LA, NYC, and Chicago, the US isn't a particularly

Fascinating. Do you know why Japanese moved towards using words transliterated from English in the postwar period? Was it a consequence of the American occupation?
