I'd add this one: can you explain how you are going to make exact number operations on the website, e.g. for calculating an invoice according to the law, when you have only float type in JS? Any answer "I don't care" would automatically fail any interview, as any programmer who doesn't care for the program correctness or working according to the business rules should be automatically fired.

Yea, modern JS... it's just a joke, no integers, still funny effects with []+[] and {}+{} and []+{} and {}+[]. Good luck with writing anything serious using such a crap.

So suddenly people will see lots of websites as insecure. This way they will stop paying attention to this warning, and when they will find a really insecure website, they will just use it.

It helps with having smaller RAM requirement. And I have the group by, and materilized indices, which helps a lot to preserve huge modified datasets.

So I assume that in 10 years those valuable employees will be fired, as they won't fit culturally, regardless spending the last 10 years in that company :)

Well, I just wanted to use pandas to load a 4GB csv file. After using 32GB of my RAM, and 4GB of swap I gave up. I've just loaded all that data to Postgres, and made a couple of queries. This way I stopped using pandas at all.

This always makes me sad. 3-6 years of experience, and you are senior. 20 years of experience, and you are too old for the "young and dynamic team". I'm slowly hitting 20 years soon... and even now I have troubles with getting a job. I didn't have the problem when I had 3-6 years of experience.

A surgeon with 3-6 years of experience is usually too inexperienced to operate on her own. 20 years of experience, and you can lead a team of surgeons.

In IT we have some strange cult of inexperience. And this makes me sad.

So it looks like people repeat how C++ templates are bad, and Rust macros are good. Can someone tell me what's the real difference? I'm not sure I get it, but I feel like both are good or both are bad.

The best length for fast reading is not more than 60-70 characters per line. That's why you have columns in newspapers. I have a 4k 26 inch monitor. Full width texts are harder to read, I have to shrink my browser to make the text not so wide.

If you say that C++ is not memory safe you really don't know the modern C++. Of course you can use only `void *` everywhere... but you can also write your software in a totally different way. My C++ code has no pointers, just objects, which are automatically destroyed when I want to. The nice feature is that I know when the destructor is called, so the object will clear itself in a very nice way.

I love such generalized titles. My mathematically modified brain automatically searches for an example when you cannot copy something, then the whole statement is not true. My dog agrees, he cannot be copied over the network :)

Thank you.

That's good :)

Yea... my project for this year - don't get crazy, and depressed as my wife will pass away... For now this is the most interesting, and time consuming project in my life. And a funny thing: all the personal stuff that matters most is so stupidly treated when going with that publicly.

However when someone makes some, usually useless, stuff, he/she will be famous, and lots of people will write so many nice things.

And don't even try writing that you are depressed :) You will soon be blamed for everything, including voting on Trump. And the good people will have so many useful advices like "would you try not being depressed?".

So... 6 small projects in a year. Cool. Will that help some people live the next day? And during that year you could do so much good to others.

Sometimes I feel like living on another planet. I know, such posts here usually get so many negative points... I hope this will eat all my karma.

And have a nice 2018 year, but really find some meaningful projects.

I've tried that a couple of times. Of course it was a bad idea. The same as honestly answering questions. When I managed to get a nice job, it turned out that they also hired people for upper positions - who couldn't program, didn't know more than one language... and I still have no idea how they passed such a whiteboard test.

> Anybody who's seen the sun rising east and setting west knows that this is true: the Sun rotates around the Earth.

Just small remarks: technically it's not East and West, it changes.

Well, according to the basic physics laws: also yes. Yes because it depends on the observer. No, because it depends on the observer. The Copernicus book was about a theoretical model of an observer outside the planetary system (he didn't even claim that it was true "it was just a theory" - that's why he had no problems with the funny Catholic guys who burnt people for less).

But back to the point: both claims a true: Sun travels in space around Earth... and at the same time Earth does the same around Sun. All depends on the observer.

Maybe with the software it's the same?

<sarcasm on> Oh, so the average salary in your city is $100 per month? Oh, cool, so you get $300 per month from us, work like we do in SF, and buy that $2k computer, so you can have stuff like we have. Oh, and don't forget to work hard enough, our CEO needs to buy another car this month. <sarcasm off>

Yea, so an employee should work hard to make money for the pleasure of the CEO buying another home this month? I rather work for my family, not for the CEO's one. If a company doesn't want to pay me enough, I'm sure I will find another one.

Yea... and the background is so professionally readable. I suppose the arguments are as well, but I cannot read it. My eyes are bleeding.

Yep. And Enigma is unbreakable, that's why it's totally safe.

Cool country. Is the 11 year old president son still wearing a general uniform?

Come on. This regulation movement is made only to have bigger control over the people. Nothing more.

Changing my job. As I'm looking for remote only in European hours - it will be quite challenging. Family issues don't allow me to work in US hours from Europe. I think this will be my full time project, as such a position is quite unique in Europe.

Besides I'm going to read a lot, and finally understand Haskell.

As for the programming stuff: write a book about databases, and write some Postgres patches for fun.

And you will do nothing... as usually. You will just dream about having any influence on the world going on.

I'm not a US citizen, so my voice doesn't count. But does your voice count if you are a US citizen? Nope. The corporations and politicians decide, we can just be allowed to have nice sits in the front row and watch how the corporations world grow.

Happy watching. Tickets are expensive, and mandatory. Nice dreaming.

You have really pathetic law in the US. After something like that in Europe, the company managers would have really huge problems.

And in US people seem to be happy about that. If they wouldn't, it would be changed.

Well, you can always have law punishing for that.

In a couple of countries you can go to prison for saying that the holocaust didn't happen. It's Germany, and Poland (where Germans made the biggest camps where they killed most over 3M Polish Judes).

The most funny thing is how uneducated journalists are. Or maybe that's made on purpose.

They still write "Polish Death Camps" while there were "German Death Camps in Poland". Also huge number of journalists write that there were Nazis, not Germans, despite the fact that the Germans chose Hitler in elections.

Oh, another company... cool.

Who will get to jail? Oh, nobody.

Who will get bonuses? Oh, the management.

Who will be fired? Oh, some programmers or admins.

The next level would probably be: provide your SSN.

> Did anybody liked writing data migration?

Yes, I like it. And you know what? My databases have lots of checks in the schema. This way I know, that I get correct data when I query the database. In MongoDB I'm not sure. I can throw there anything, and get anything. It's just a normal GIGO queue.

And the migrations are fine. You just need to know the tools. I observed huge programmers' aversion to learn SQL (however they don't complain when they need to learn HQL).

As usually: it depends. Sometimes testing getters/setters is a good thing.

I'm not going to give exact links.

That was a page about a database. I've added an info, that this database has a feature. Someone removed that. I have added links to documentation stating that yes, there is this feature.

And I'm not going to argue with them. Let me write it so you will understand it: I JUST DON'T CARE.

Let them argue in their own kindergarten. I have more interesting things to work on. I can always make another training where I teach people that this database has this feature.

I don't have links now, but there are quite known cases where a professor, who spent 20 years on a topic, writes something about this topic, and gets over voted by the bunch of kids, who have no idea about the whole thing.
