To your point, can’t they just poke around the recent activity across all of twitters repos? Surely these brilliant Tesla engineers can figure that out.

I believe you’re missing the point. Random code reviews performed by people in a whole different sector aren’t the best way to find out “what’s going on”.

But did you give?

HN has a very interesting “vocal minority” thing going where certain articles will have VERY predictable comments.

ShowHN - “this doesn’t work if JavaScript is disabled” or “you should explain this product better I don’t want it”

Any hardware device: “I’ve noticed declining quality because the space bar is a very specific type of plastic now” or “I can’t even ssh into this. I miss the days when I could ssh into my shoelaces”

But there are also just insane corners of knowledge where there isn’t a lowest common denominator and it’s pretty interesting stuff.

When I do know about a given topic I don’t have to scroll TOO far to find an opinion I agree with, and sometimes an argument I hadn’t come across that changes my view.

My first thought was “what would docker have to do with the client side”… I didn’t realize wasm was running server side these days and apparently with some success?

I wouldn’t have considered running my Java or python on wasm because it’s all server side… that’s just what it does… but the single execution environment with sandboxing is very interesting.

I definitely need a wasm crash course

I had semi-short tenure at my last few jobs… a couple of startups and a couple of genuinely awful places to work… no real pushback during the interview process and think I landed somewhere GREAT.

average tenure at last 4 jobs or about 18 months?

They all think what they’re doing is magic and impactful but “crud with layers” is IT

I took this as “if you need more than one, plan for storing ANYTHING greater 1 or greater”

Meaning that if I need to store specifically 2 addresses per user, don’t force it at the data layer… just make it an easy to swap validation and no literal limits elsewhere

To each their own, but I think the phrase “people on the left” may be better than “lefties”.

Lefties gives me the impression I know your opinion and political views well before the end of your thought. It weakens an argument that I actually agree with… even though I’m a lefty.

Always great to see how useless the internet can be when we try really hard.

While it’s fine that the annoying student who always corrected your grammar in school has enough extra cash to host this site, it’s a shame they still haven’t applied themselves to anything useful or interesting.

Something that HAS been very helpful to me (very surprisingly to me, who was very skeptical)… outlook’s “make it more concise” hints. Makes my emails waaay more concise and direct… I hate coming across as cocky or confident but they hit the nail on the head for me. Very helpful.

I just landed a dream gig and start in about 3 weeks. Horrified of layoffs etc but super excited for the move. Article made me feel a little bit better but only mildly.

Moment’s own docs tell you to not use moment

I work for a consultancy that does some things I dislike to impress execs but nothing this shady. Close though!

I’ve managed to separate myself from those parts and should be totally out the door soon!

I’ve yet to try an impossible burger but one of the best burgers I’ve ever had was a veggie burger patty made in house at a little brewery near me. Seasonings and texture etc were perfect. Wasn’t trying to be a burger but trying to be a very good veggie patty and succeeded.

I suffer from some pretty intense Analysis Paralysis at times. I've found that there are so many tradeoffs in each and every decision in software that you've just gotta pick what feels right and get moving. I guess that's the same as listening to my gut?

I've yet to avoid any/all hurdles as a result, but I've yet to reach one I couldn't figure out how to get over either.

There is no perfect decision and the line between "ok" and "great" decisions is verrrrrrry fine.

Running is bad for your knees is a common misconception. Just gotta ease in. I’ve been running for years and have had no knee issues. I know many people with tens of thousands of miles on their legs (approaching 6 figures in some cases) and their knees are fine

(From the US)

I have never even considered downloading an app to text people… because I just text them. I’ve never understood or needed something different. I’m only now piecing together that this is an American thing though.

I’m a tech user and barely knew this feature existed. I noticed it wasn’t there yesterday because I didn’t accidentally engage it like I normally do.

It’s tough to sell a feature that has no interface. A little too minority report arm flailing for me :)

A just-out-of-college co-worker of mine pops into my LinkedIn feed regularly following people talking about “hard assets” and retiring from their corporate job by 40… I don’t know him well enough to say it, but I wonder if he realizes they now have the job of being a landlord and influencer… and anybody can yell numbers about revenue streams on a video (which they probably learned in their time in corporate America)

Would fully remote (out of state) be considered?

The biggest GC issues I’ve personally seen manifest were arrays of historical data that grew to tens of millions of entries and due to array storage in .net, the array was placed in the large object heap. Swapping to a linked list actually fixed the issue and the team lived to fight another day.

Like a lot of premature optimization, it isn’t a problem until it is… but solutions aren’t unattainable.

That’s what does it for me. You live in a weird tube and all of the nature is artificial. If you do leave, you’re in the desert.

Because people will use whatever tool works for them

Edit: I love vscode for c#

It should be a simple wrapper Func<> with a generic Option<T>. I’m sure there is a library out there doing it already.

Find a running club near you and see what PT they recommend. Even finding a gym/trainer they recommend may do wonders. They will focus more on functional strength and mobility (in my experience).

99% of projects I setup have a docker-compose.yml at the project root and it defines all of the external dependencies. docker-compose up -d and F5 in vscode… up and running.

I’m interested but not totally sure what you mean here. Do you have a source or name for this intervals/calibration stuff?

I’ve always had issues when people are using hours instead of points. The one time we properly used points on a team it went really well.

Azurite is good for azure storage service emulation and they respond to issues with lightning speed. Aside from storage I’m not aware of anything

Quick edit: there is a cosmosdb emulator out there for windows. Last I looked (6 months ago?) there was not a Linux version (so no docker). If you’re in windows with wsl though not bad. Azure function core tools is also excellent for local dev.

These principles are too vague and there are far too many interpretations.

They’re so vague that we find some people trying to decipher what someone living in in the 1700s would think about society today instead of updating our laws and principles to suit modern times.

Convoluted example: “Well smartphones didn’t exist in 1776, so you don’t have a right to pursue happiness on that medium”.

It’s so frustrating to see such partisan gridlock where the voice of the actual citizens are not heard and translated into laws and regulations.

I don’t know what my point really is, but I guess I’m saying it’s not so simple. We can’t boil it all down to a sentence or two.

Have you given a notched device a fair shake? Not suggesting you haven’t, but I never notice the notch on my iPhone<some number here>

I figured it would drive me nuts
