I disagree, solid programmers should be the core of the team. That's how you make solid progress and deliver projects on time.

Programming is about doing the fundamentals well and consistently delivering
Heh, even further than that, they're broken right out of the gate for some people - like me. I don't display any images in my emails. I don't want them using that to track my view of the content. Yea some email providers work around this, but some don't - i have it fully disabled.

Most emails i view these days look like garbage.
This page is in existence since 2018. To me it is unclear what changed. Is anybody aware of a changelog? ( does archive.org do diffs ? ).
I'd be absolutely horrified if a service that I use need a specific environment variable set in a particular way to work correctly and it's not well documented. That service would get bonus points for inability to configure that particular option in a configuration file.

I personally would never add environment variables to a program I write which may run as a service.

Oh, Java is calling, hold on... :)
Yes, the property defined on the page is more commonly called asymmetry.
In my experience those sigils fell into the same trap that Hungarian notation discovered. A few sigils work well because they provide immediate comprehension, but there's a tipping point where they become noise and a barrier because there's too many, in too many combinations, to be readily understood. In every perl script you end up reading them out loud to parse them.

I remember the moment that Hungarian notation died for me (when previously I was all about it in C++): when I looked in the back of a Microsoft book on Visual Basic and found a six page table of four letter prefixes for all the different types you might encounter in VB6 with COM. The idea that I would either memorize those or continually look them up so that I knew what I was dealing with in code was the reductio ad absurdum of Hungarian notation.
Why though?
It took Nixon to go to China.
This easy to tell, if it has a Qualcomm SoC in it chances are you won't be able to run a reasonable OS on it.
I think this is the right answer.

The NY times did an article about this years ago. The average hip surgery in the US was $75k. The cost to flying to Belgium (one of the most advanced, industrialized countries in the world), staying there for a week and getting the surgery was $13k.

I have seen much more dramatic examples.
Nice! Very insightful for Python developers. Here is also interesting information how to find the best Python developers https://www.n-ix.com/how-to-hire-python-developers-ukraine-s...
wrt PMs, many bigSoftwareCorp PMs dont know how to write code. probably most tbh
Would you like to submit a PR to add a suitable version of that file to wezterm?

FWIW, in my experience so far with wezterm, most people that have run into issues with old rust versions are not running rustup at all, so I feel like something rust/cargo should also have a mechanism to specify an appropriate version.

London UK or South Africa | Investec (https://www.investec.co.uk) | Fintech | Engineer | Full Time | Permanent
Join us in building awesome fin-tech solutions for our customers.

We are at the very exciting early stages of implementing our cloud strategy of moving our on-premises apps to Azure. This isn't a quick lift-and-shift operation. We're taking the time to re-architect our apps to take full advantage of cloud-native services to maximise the benefit of cloud.

We're using C# and .NET Core on the backend and running it on Azure.

If you're excited by solving hard problems using great tech alongside some very smart and friendly colleagues please do get in touch.

You can email me personally at adam.rice (at) investec.co.uk.
What operations? Do users opt-in to these operations?
and are limited to using just one finger at a time (because your eyes can only focus on one spot at once).

That isn't entirely accurate. It's not because you focus at point x, that another finger cannot be moving at x + y cm and perform the correct action there. I never learned to type blindly. Or at least not in the way this is normally done. However I do have enough muscle memory by now that I can look down at the keyboard, put a couple of fingers in what roughly looks like the right spot and then start typing away with multiple fingers, from time to time laying focus in the center of the keyboard only.
> For me, the compromises were not worth it. The phone is too clunky and heavy and virtual keyboards are good enough these days.

There are compromises like I said in previous posts. Frankly I love the physical keyboard not for long form text, but for my terminal operations or just plain old character-by-character cut/copy/paste edits in text. If there were a virtual Ctrl key on my on screen keyboard so I could do Ctrl + V, then maybe I would swap to something else too, but for now this fxtec takes the mobile cake for anything more than a 7 word swype reply to a text.
Savvy | Remote US | Full-time | https://savvy.insure

Savvy is completely revolutionizing the way that people shop for car insurance. Instead of filling out countless forms answering questions that nobody knows the answers to, Savvy uses a Plaid-for-insurance API to extract a person’s existing policy information and automatically retrieves offers for insurance shoppers. This transformation in the car insurance shopping experience empowers consumers to get the best deal and has helped people save millions on their auto insurance.

Savvy is already a profitable, healthy business, but we’re looking to expand our fully-remote team so we can grow the business - pulling in additional offers to help users find better deals, offering other types of insurance to help users save even more on their policies. Members of our team value extreme ownership, speed, collaboration, and craftsmanship - if these values resonate with you, you’ll fit right in!

A modern, cloud-based tech stack powers our systems behind the scenes - a mix of Kubernetes orchestrated pods and serverless API endpoints does the heavy lifting. We’re a JS shop, so JavaScript everywhere, all the time - React on the front end, Node / TypeScript on the backend (they had to stop me from using a PLV8-enabled PostgreSQL instance). Our comprehensive CI suite (3000+ automated tests on a codebase <12 months old) empowers us to have a full CD pipeline (<9 minutes from merge to live on production).

Here are our openings:

- Senior Software Engineer https://boards.greenhouse.io/savvyinsure/jobs/4000894004

- Staff Software Engineer https://boards.greenhouse.io/savvyinsure/jobs/4004379004

- Director of Engineering https://boards.greenhouse.io/savvyinsure/jobs/4001031004

Give the wrong ssn on every form you possibly can. Many databases are filled with fake ssns, nobody cares or checks. A lot of Americans don’t even have one.
Their biggest mistake was not scaling the VBA/Excel/Access stack beyond desktop and updating it. Where is the WinUI integration for VBA? The product and language was fine but it has been abandoned by Microsoft. It is easy to learn and use but they never tried to make it a cross platform technology.
My impression is most music is still released as albums although I don't have numbers. I assume there are various reasons why it makes sense for a band to produce and release a batch of music at the same time (especially given that vinyl and CDs are still a thing, even if a much reduced thing).
Interesting. The number of times someone else inserted a SIM card in my phone is zero, even when the phone was bought from my carrier at a physical location (they just give me the phone in a retail box, same as any regular retailer would).

Practices vary regionally, I guess.

I'm a huge fan of the idea. I've also been raging for years because of those inconsistencies.

Though I'm not entirely sure this is a matter which can be resolved on the short term :

I'm not sure about this matter, but I think a character's alignement depends on how it's been made to be in the font's files, I don't see any clean way for a browser to change that automatically.

Also, it raises another question, would font designers care if their font's default settings are tampered with (I'd guess that yes, they would).

He should just shut up for a while about ... what exactly? For how long?
This isn't a question of denying someone service, this is a question of what form the service takes. I am certain your health care provider won't pay 1 million dollars for a different cast design that reduces the time you wear it by 1%, nor should it. In the scenario I'm describing, both options are medically adequate, one is just more convenient but also substantially more expensive. Insurance pays for what you need, but it is quite common to deny claims which are not medically necessary.
Thanks for the feedback. We may add this feature a little later
Just to clarify, that's ($51,250) not the poverty line, it's the (old) subsidy line. The poverty line is $12880 + $4540d, where d is the number of dependents. But yes, healthcare premiums do float above $300/mo for some people.

This is one of those narrowly-focused articles that says it talks about a big topic ("software development") is about a much narrower portion of that topic.

Most of my programs are for ETL, error-scanning, packaging up some manual tasks, and so on. I am in the long tail of dark matter developers. I do not have DevOps because it makes no sense to have DevOps where I am. I am solo, there's nobody else to code review with, and so I chug along like I have for the past forty years -- "yeah, that function looks like crap, I can fix that."

There's a lot of people like me out there. We solve problems. We pick up a program we wrote ten years ago to make sure it is still usable before running it. We do not "deploy."

I think we need some new vocabulary about the business of programming, because this narrow focus sounds like it ought to include the guy who makes a custom mortgage calculator for the local credit union in Visual Basic, but it really isn't about him or what he does, and it might not be bad to remember that he and I are out there, chugging away.
If you spend all your time making the output work cross-platform, I could definitely see not wanting to go on to spend a lot of time working on making the editor cross-platform. It's the same kind of tedium, but without much possibility for code-sharing.
Ease of repair has largely been replaced by lack of need of repair. Cars, especially IC engines, are so much more reliable today that repair is relatively rare. Engine rebuilds are almost unheard of on small cars. Transmissions regularly outlast the chasis. Even tires rarely get flats. People now expect to drive many tens or even a hundred thousand miles without engine failure, on no more maintenance than an occasional oil change.
I was doing web development back then, and Perl in your cgi-bin was pretty hot tech, especially compared to c. But then PHP came around, and I never really looked back. I've moved on, and out of web development, and I keep circling back to C, but never perl. Python does pretty much everything I'd want Perl for.
Not disagreeing with you points. My issue is, when I went to school, they wanted you to put your SS on your papers and tests as that is really what they used as your student id.
5 minutes may be a bit long for the US. I don't know if it's a legal requirement that the dentist pop in (to supervise) or because people will balk at paying as much without a Doctor appearing. I'm not aware of the dentist usually finding things that the hygienist missed.

I've found a lot of lessons can be drawn from competitive games with tight feedback loops and applied outside of those domains. There's something to be learned from these areas where there are a whole bunch of people trying very hard to get good at something (e.g. chess, Rocket League), especially with regards to how to build a mindset around failure and how to review your mistakes.

The hard part in all of these is finding the right "hooks" in these pursuits that tend to be more obvious in competitive games. How do you "record your performance" when programming or holding meetings about business strategy? How do you review that recording after the fact? What criteria do you use to evaluate success and failure?

It's certainly not as easy to do this with "games" that lack a clear scope like startups, but I've found regularly reviewing your performance ("Did this meeting have a clear agenda before starting?") and building checklists for what practices lead to success is immensely helpful.
There is also a mistake in the discussion of totality and reflexivity.

By the way, this law makes the reflexivity law redundant, as it is just a special case of reflexivity when a and b are one and the same object, but I still want to present it for reasons that will become apparent soon.

This should be as follows.

[...] a special case of totality when a and b are one and the same [...]
I was terribly disappointed when I realized the date after reading the W3C was bringing back the BLINK tag!
That terminology is outdated. Today, mass generally means invariant mass, corresponding to rest mass in case of 'massive' particles. The invariant mass of photons is 0, hence it's 'massless'.

The gamma factors hidden by the relativistic mass definition of course still occur, but they get folded into the 4-vector quantities instead, which happens naturally if you use proper time for your derivatives.

This way, we avoid having to introduce things like transverse and longitudinal mass, which was the explanation within the variable-mass picture as to why the spatial part of 4-acceleration generally isn't parallel to 3-acceleration.

edit: s/velocity/acceleration/ where appropriate
Oh yes! Just last week we were discussing on adding a "Links" page that'd allow for easy sharing & organization of links and bookmarks in the app.

So yes this is definitely planned.

> 17k lines of shell script

those two phrases don't belong together... to think about this, "17k lines" and "shell script" should not be used together either.

Also, you are a bit light on tests.. there only seems to be a single trivial one, which seems way too low for a codebase this size.
Just because the server isn't hosted by Microsoft doesn't mean it's inaccessible from the internet...
It's to do with pockets, at a guess. There's no penalty for expanding in the height and width dimensions up to the limits of a back pocket, which is comparatively huge.

If you expand in the depth direction, the pocket can't expand far before it starts to feel uncomfortable, particularly if you sit on it.

But the failure rate in observed time for non-nand components is very very low.

Take a 5 year old phone, and the chances of the main board being bad might be 10%... But the chances of the main CPU being bad is probably under 0.1%. The other 99% of failures are mostly water damage, physical damage, bad soldering, fatigue failure, bad nand, etc.

Maybe they'll all fail at once, but I somehow doubt it. IC's from the 1970's are still going strong, also with a low failure rate.

Rather difficult without an insider at Apple and Google. The fraud detection systems used are based on dozens of checks. I doubt even these real phones pass, since they likely have low uptime, they have never been in a landscape orientation or face down, few system settings are customized, etc.

At least Android provides a public API to measure trustworthiness, but if you are in the business of selling clicks you may also be in the business of turning a blind eye to fraudulent activity that makes you money.
That, in my observation, almost never happens.
It's not a woke thing - people just find the repetition annoying. April fools on the internet started getting corporate and repetitive well over 10 years ago.
