Had a client just last month that were doing SOAP wrong somehow...

Required a SOAP message, that contained no XML after the message tag, but instead the entire message body was to be a JSON, and responded with a JSON if something was wrong, and a fully formed SOAP message if things were Ok.

That and the guys that handle your money use the Http status code as their personal error messages. Except when the error is on their end, in which case they return 200 and a JSON with an error message.

There are plenty of ways to do REST wrong, so let's not lump that into the people that make blog posts complaining about X because X is broken, and working just fine...

Oh good, another opinion about how this one thing in this one language is the worst thing ever, and also works just fine.

Find something that bothers you, complain publicly, do absolutely nothing after that, repeat.

Well.. This is what we get for the DMCA as it has absolutely zero consequences for misuse.

I think he was being sarcastic...

Alternative title: Bing expands their market, now your go-to for both porn and piracy.

Edit: also note that it's just the autocomplete, not the actual search results

"Obamacare" - ACA

Facebook - Comcast

Not.. even similar

So it's Flattr but run by the same company that also serves ads..

Eh.

Thank you for doing that.

I try to only ever apply to jobs with salary range posted. Although as a developer is becoming increasingly hard to find those posts

It's weird when Apple has the better messenger app.. Even more so when they got into that position without actually changing anything..

As someone working with this setup right now, coming from what is fondly referred to around here as the God-Monolith of our 1.0 version, I couldn't disagree more....

But as always, this is an artform, writing and designing, not laying down pavement.

There's no "right" way, and any blanket statement about anything is false.

Don't use microservices where they don't make sense, make educated decisions, and choose the best option for your situation.

It made sense in our situation, because all our services have very very very specific rules and boundaries and there's no overlap anywhere.

Intelligence and cognitive ability are not equatable.

Oh, yes, those shelf stable bananas....

Or I could take one scoop soylent, two scoops water, mix.

Se how much less shopping was involved in my list?

And by "nearly pure soy" you mean, of course, "20% soy content".

But close enough, right?

    Not everyone should learn to code, just as not everyone should become a chef. 
    Not everyone will need to program, 
    not everyone will be inclined to learn it and not everyone will enjoy it.

This bothers me a lot.

I see it quite frequently that "Not everyone should learn to code". Especially with comparisons to other professions...

As if "Knowing how to code" is the same as "Being a chef"...

"Not everyone will need to program", in the same sense the not everyone will need to know how to cook?

It's true, you don't have to in this day and age. But for it's bloody helpful if you do...

Don't get me wrong, not everyone should be a software developer.

But the considering that you use things that run on code every single day, for the majority of your waking time, it'd probably be a decent idea to know the basics.

In the same sense that if you are a car driver, having some basic knowledge of the rules of the road and a basic understanding of physics, while not necessary to drive, is still bloody helpful.

Now, to comment, as a developer, on the article, it's still good and the part about tutorials is so very true it hits almost a bit too close to home.

Find a tutorial that assumes you're 5. Learn conditionals, understand them. Learn loops, understand them. One. Step. At. A. Time.

Also, the first point just isn't true. I've spent quite some time teaching kids code and Everyone can learn how to code. Even that dyslexic kid with ADD that's chasing the squirrel during class.

Not everyone can get GOOD at writing code. And being a developer isn't for everyone. But LEARNING HOW TO CODE, is something Everyone can do.

Convenient in the sense of that most countries don't collect race demographics and there isn't any other data,

or convenient in the sense of you having little to offer as a retort?

Problem is that companies of that size are selling "Your dream and life!" and not a job.

With 200k on the table and a plethora of perks, nobody thinks "Yeah no, I'll need to pass this up because I might quit in 5-10 years and go to another somewhat similar company".

> Of course these few seconds don't matter that much per transaction,

Yeah they do. To the point that both Visa and MasterCard opposed even introducing chips for years. For that sole reason.

It's one of the main causes of the incredibly long delay the US has seen to their card security.

Can confirm. Was one of those kids.

We built a shitty FB app with some fancy features and sold the shit out of it as the next big thing in that space.

It was average at best, they bought it, we made bank, worked for half a year and left to start a company doing what we want to do, without needing any funding.

I spent way too much time trying to figure out how a data access object would turn into a ponzi...

4 exceptional cases aren't much of proof of anything..

It's like saying racism and equality is resolved because Obama is president.

"We want all the freedom Apple doesn't offer!"

"Why are we forced to fight for ourselves?!"

Sure...

Marriage is a contract.

Should a contract have terms and conditions?

Yes. Yes it should.

Still no cure for $1300/month rent for a 2bed apartment two hours east of Cleveland...

Absolutely. I'm glad to have been hired by a company who had experience with bootcampers before.

They gave me a smooth and solid ramp-up to the mid/senior I am now.

Being thrown in on the deep end with the expectations that the guy with 3 months experience is somehow wellrounded with the basics of CS is just foolish.

Also, of course, not all bootcamps are equal, nor are all students.

Bootcamper here,

Of course 3 months is going to get you running with a solid basic knowledge of your stuff.

In what world would low-level, algorithms and data structures be doable in 3 months?

Point is, I don't think Bootcamps and Colleges are comparable.

It's like being a woodworker and a forester..

There's a place for each and it's not the same positions...

Now, here's my big question:

If your interview includes Practical programming, Web system Design, Algorithms and Low level system design...

What in the nine hells are you hiring for?

Had it been for a trucker position you'd be asking for "driving license, laws and regulations, engine design and car physics"..

Beta is Beta.

Expect to not see any new features being offered before they've been run through the entire gambit at this point.

Some might feel that's good.

Others may want to see what's going on.

Release cycle will be changed from bimonthly to each new car model.

Congratulations everyone.

There's something rather unsettling about the realization that Jehova's Witnesses had a point about something once..

Yeah, I don't like the idea of forcing people to do things they're uncomfortable with when it's their home.

AirBnb could easily alleviate the situation with rejection updates. Although reviews leave far too much to personal opinion.

For now, at least, a demographic for each place would solve a lot.

"Oh 200 people have requested to be here and 100 were rejected. Out of that 80% of all black men who requested have been rejected and 30% white men and 0% of women, across the board... I think I'm good..."

Are these apples relevant to an issue affecting oranges?

Well Portland is hotter than Seattle right now so you're a privileged asshole..? I dunno.. Enjoy your move and please help keep Portland weird :)
