I was not trying to imply that this is a mental model. I was merely commenting on OPs comment about JavaScript.

Uhhh. I hated JS for years and years until I started to actually look at it.

If you just follow a few relatively simple rules JS is actually very nice and "reliable". Those "rules" are also relatively straight forward: let/const over var, === unless you know better, make sure you know about Number.isInteger, isSafeInteger, isObject etc etc. (there were a few more rules like this - fail to recall all of them - has been a few years since i touched JS) - hope you get the idea.

Also when I looked at JS I was just blown away by all the things people built on top of it (babel, typescript, flowtype, vue, webpack, etc etc).

And unfortunately the website has several entries that are in nature reserves where picking is absolutely not allowed. I mailed the owner of the website to let them know.

The theory of my ENT is that the brain tries to make up noises when certain frequencies are not properly "used" because your hearing is bad. My hearing in the higher frequency spectrum is really bad – thus I hear high pitches sounds (tinnitus) when I am not wearing that hearing aid.

I think it is pretty common that tinnitus gets better with any kind of hearing aid however some devices & hearing loss combinations tend to be more successful

It returns when I turn them off. But this happens only for like 5 minutes every 3-4 months or so (ideally).

I had really bad Tinnitus for years. Then I took a hearing test. Doc concluded that I needed a hearing aid. Then I got the Lyric hearing aid which sits deep inside your ear canal 24/7 and it immediately did not only fix my hearing but also my tinnitus.

Its an analoge but digitally programmable hearing aid which needs to be replaced every 3-4 months or so.

If I understand the issue correctly if you make the original repo public any private forks from other users are also effectively public. Right?

If you dive into the graffiti scene a bit you will start to appreciate all those graffitis. The story behind some of them is super interesting. There is a lot of "competition", "collaboration", and group dynamics involved. It is truly fascinating. I was living in Cologne (Ehrenfeld) for a while in a place with awesome graffiti and every weekend there were people taking pictures "collecting" and documenting the graffiti.

Edit: Not "all of those" but "many of those"

That’s just not true. Several countries stopped using the vaccine until more data was available. For example in Germany. And then when the vaccine was used again it was only used on a subset of the population (older people because this risk was minimal in those cases). It was discussed at the highest level and all throughout the country.

Did you read the full article?

"Reducing the length of your IDs can be nice, but you need to be careful and ensure your system is protected against ID collissions. Fortunately, this is pretty easy to do in your database layer. In our MySQL database we use IDs mostly as primary key and the database protects us from collisions. In case an ID exists already, we just generate a new one and try again. If our collision rate would go up significantly, we could simply increase the length of all future IDs and we’d be fine."

Came here to say the same thing. Qt is a C++ library and is widely used (for example in KDE) and is also used in embedded environments a lot. And its pretty mature.

macOS and iOS have systemwide settings for color blind people. You can remap colors.

Being not able to focus will cause you to jump from one thing to the next.

"Oh let me gather wood" 10 minutes later "Oh look! I found flowers" 10 minutes later "Those stones look amazing… what could we possibly do with them?" 10 minutes later "Its getting cold. where is the wood"

Isolated this may seem like a disadvantage. But the negative consequences are reduced when one is acting in a bigger group. And this jumping from topic to topic make the person become a generalist which can be useful.

I am pretty sure it was not because of using the word „junior“ but because they did not give him the job because of his age.

Without a license the default copyright law kicks in which means:

"The default copyright laws applies meaning that the autor retains all rights to the source code and no one may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from the work."

Good luck

This is not really true. There are high speed trains operated by Italy that start in the center of Germany (Frankfurt) and end in Milano – crossing Switzerland. There are also trains that start in Germany end end in south France (Mannheim - Marseille). Super easy to purchase tickets.

Isnt this still age discrimination?

Easy trick to remember it: [Button](url)

The [ and ] are ascii art for a button - in between goes what is clickable (title) and then comes the url.

The problem is that they did it retroactively and they also added a per install/download fee. So if your game has 1mio installs you pad the install fee x 1 Million. Unreal has no install fee like this.

“A 5% royalty is due only if you are distributing an off-the-shelf product that incorporates Unreal Engine code (such as a game). Provided that you notify us on time using the Release Form, you will only owe royalties once the lifetime gross revenue from that product exceeds $1 million USD; in other words, the first $1 million will be royalty-exempt.”

Some mobile games have a ton of installs and a very small amount of revenue per user. Those 27cents per install are a lot of money for those type of games and will even make some business models no longer feasible.

There are 8 billion people on the planet.

Its a very good book... Wikipedia says this – which should make some of the people here become either more self aware or critical of the book:

"The author contends that more than half of societal work is pointless, both large parts of some jobs and, as he describes, five types of entirely pointless jobs:

[...]

*duct tapers*, who temporarily fix problems that could be fixed permanently, *e.g., programmers repairing shoddy code*, airline desk staff who calm passengers whose bags do not arrive;"

I never understood the spam accounts argument…

One of musks main things he wanted to do with Twitter was to fight those spam/bot accounts.

He thinks getting rid of them is good for Twitter. If there are more bots than estimated Twitter will get even better than anticipated. If there are less bots than estimated this means the user base is more healthy than assume / one problem you don’t have to solve.

Each scenario is neither clearly good nor bad for a potential buyer.

Such a nice and enlightening explanation. Thank you.

I don’t understand why I got the downvotes…

I was taught that sharing code between services should only be done in circumstances in which there is already a strong connection between them - for example by being owned by the same team.

In the organization where I initial learned how to deal with microservices even direct calls via HTTP between services was a no-go and only used in rare circumstances and if then only temporary.

I am not sure if this is the way to do it since I have a sample size of one - but we had about 500 services to manage and in the end it worked okay and I never saw something you described. That’s why I wanted to know if you have considered just not sharing code.

Have you considered not sharing code between services?

The plan is to reduce the dependency on Russia and then to retrofit the terminal and gas plants to work with green hydrogen.

Part of the speech the chancellor gave was also the announcement to build two new LGN terminals „pretty quickly“ in order to gain more independence. This of course goes hand in hand with a general push to more renewables.

155 billion to be precise. It’s 100 billion in addition to what is spent this year already.

Shortly after the engine went off you could see roads from the plane…
