I completely agree. At work they never work out because there are inevitably so many detours. OKRs do nothing but reveal that management know nothing about the environment they're managing. Unfortunately, when the fad does pass, you know some other nonsense fad is going to arrive on the scene. If only people would stop with fadding.
Agreed. Whatever the implementation the name indicates the next step in this solution. To do otherwise would be like naming windows95 something other than windows after windows3.1. Marketing.
Interested to see this because I'm neither a JavaScript nor frontend dev, but over the last two weeks have been gently learning React out of curiosity, applying it to a small personal project. The last time I used JavaScript was with Angular 1.x around 2013. Iirc the angular learning curve was negligible; React's is steeper, but I can't compare with modern Angular - seems it's up to 11.rc1. I get the impression React has mostly won the battle. I was wondering if maybe I should have tried Svelte instead, but React is the name I keep seeing, so figured that's where I'll peek (first?). I think the muddle I need to sort through at the moment is the old tutorials vs the new tutorials as I'm seeing multiple ways of doing things but don't yet know which are the new ways, the best practices, or the trade-offs with each.
I like Nim. Quickest possible description - it sits between Go and Rust. If you find Go boring or missing features, but Rust has too steep a learning curve - Nim. I found it strangely intuitive to get going with - easier than Go. With a smaller community still, there's plenty of room to contribute too.
I don't know a thing about Kim Kardashian, but I've never read anything by Lanier that I thought was worth reading. Whatever people see in his commentary, I don't.
"Hi AlphaGo, let's play tic tac toe". Consider me bored of it all. We're not close to anything. The emphasis is on "artificial", not "intelligence". It should be renamed Glorified Calculation. There are some neat tricks, writing your first neural net is great fun, but we're using the word intelligence with spectacular liberty. I'll keep an eye open for something inspiring, but I've seen nothing of the sort yet.
I'm not sure "a plain ol' Django monolith" with none of the "fancy stuff" is either what people are referring to when they say "kubernetes", or a great choice for that. I could run hello world on a Cray but that doesn't mean I can say I do supercomputing. Our team does use it for all the fancy stuff, and spends all day everyday for years now yamling, terraforming, salting, etc so theoretically our setup is "entire application stack as YAML files, fully reproducible", but if it fell apart tomorrow, I'd run for the hills. Basically, I think you're selling it from a position which doesn't use it to any degree which gives sufficient experience required to give in-depth assessment of it. You're selling me a Cray based on your helloworld.
This sounds like the sort of property inflation scam I'd expect from the UK. Hopefully the Swiss have thought it through carefully - they do usually seem to.
What was bothering me was the "n miles (x meters)" - which should be either "n miles (x kilometers)" or "n miles (x feet)". I wish everyone would just complete the switch to metrics and be done with this inefficient muddle.
I like to leave things at a milestone before going to sleep. I can't leave things in the middle of nowhere. I'm always late to bed, always late to wake, always late for work.
I don't have dogs, but I see people walking their dogs, and they don't give a damn which way they're facing. Tree, bush, wall, open pavement - all fine. They walk, they break, they walk.
What was the attraction to Medium in the first place? As someone who doesn't write article I wouldn't have noticed if all the Medium articles I'd read had been on Wordpress.
