Personally, I am comfortable with Pythons "linter warning and we are all adults here" - it works well and I have never seen that somebody cried "I overwrote this private method and…

There are always corner cases where you might need to do something differently. I had three memorable cases in my career: 1. Python 2.6x had a a stdlib bug where windows event logg…

The germans tried that in the 60s see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Hahn_(ship) . It was uneconomical. You need specialized engineers for that, you need special permissions fo…

Many "developers" think print("OOOPS") is a good way to debug - so I guess it's an education problem.

Probably not... So they will have issues, too.

Yes, halfway decent security runs counter to most people's inclinations. Like osha or medecine rules. So enforcement is important, though it is annoying

Thanks! I am a little disappointed that it seems to be trash :(

We introduced MDM for our Mac boxes early this year. Over half(!) had outdated mac versions and missed multiple major updates. Before that - it was always really obvious that you n…

History shows that to simply not the case. Individuals are bringing down democracies all the time. Especially presidential democracies are super vulnerable to this because the pres…

I studied political sciences twenty years ago - even then it was established consensus that presidential democracies are vulnerable to authoritarian takeover. The position has too …

Did you evaluate RavenDB? Just out of interest

Hey, do you think Gitlab should do anything except running after the next trend and develop shitty not-solutions for that? Why, that could improve Gitlab. We cannot have that!

As a simple example : once upon a time a We needed to generate a sort of heat map. Doing it in pure python takes a few seconds at the desired size (few thousand cells where each ce…

R with its 4(?) class systems enters the chat.

I don't think Inheritance is always bad - sometimes it's a useful tool. But it was definitely overused and composition, interfaces work much better for most problems. Inheritance r…

Overall, I think centralized logging and metrics are super valuable. But stacks are all missing the mark. For example, every damn log message has hundreds of fields,. Most of which…

Exactly. In theory, the original windows 10 model is the one most users want: a perpetually up to date os which runs also up to date software. Yes, of there might be reasons the pi…

I only visited Realschüler and switched to gymnasium in 11. Tbh I don't remember much of my geography lessons, was not my primary interest in school

German is Mercator only. Learned about different projection on the internet years after school

I wish schools would stop using it so much. Mercator is useful, yes. But having good size comparisons is much more important for most everyday tasks.

I am forced to use a custom kv store for my current t project. That pos has a custom dsl, which can only be imported through a swing ui, by clicking five buttons. Also, the ui is f…

I've studied political science in Germany. Unfortunately, most German political science people confused opaque writing with wisdom - basically hiding invalid theory behind an obtus…

You caveman! Everybody knew that watching config though a 30*80 chars ssh display in black/white should be enough for everybody. Who needs help displays, validation or even sliders…

Wasn't even legal but concerned the scope of the offer. Nuance, but nuance can be important. Like "rework the service and add minor festures" VS "slightly rework and do major featu…

One of our managers uses Ai to summarize everything. Too bad it missed important caveats for an offer. Well, we burned an all nighters to correct the offer, but he did not read twe…
