I used https://learn.mangolanguages.com/ to get to something like ~b1/b2 in French after a year. I did a lesson or two every day, and did all of the review, pretty much much every …

I did full CS / Software Engineering curriculum. There was a lot that I taught myself because I was curious / passionate. I learned a lot about things not covered in classes. But t…

They're different beasts. JPEGS are great for photographs, where lossy compression is acceptable. PNGs can have transparency and lossless compression, so they're great for things l…

Yes, but then you've removed parent comments' assertion that everything should be done by the RDBMS. And you've changed the contract of the action.

I think this makes sense for applications applications that are just managing data maybe? But if your application needs to do things when you change that data (like call to a third…

Sure in an ideal world we don't need to worry about resources and everything is easy. There are very good reason why they are separated now. There have been systems like 4th dimens…

In very simple systems that makes sense. But as soon as your validation requires talking to a third party, or you have side effects like sending emails you have to suddenly move al…

I've definitely worked in places where "Move fast and break things" tended to focus on breaking things. There would be bugs that we didn't fix because "We can just fix the database…

That may be true, but this isn't exactly a new drug overall. It has been available as a diabetes treatment since about 2005. So we should have some longer-term data on the topic.

The article is from thehollywoodreporter, so it is expected to not go into great detail. There is real research around these lines and links between Alzheimers and insulin resistan…

No but gender-reaffirming care could be. So some sort of hormonal treatment or even talk therapy.

Test results are already reported from testing equipment a value and expected range (to account for a specific machine/reagant's calibration). Notifying when out of range hardly se…

How much do we know? Probably not as much as we might think we know. Could it be caused by vaccinations? Probably not. There seem to be plenty of unvaccinated people with long covi…

I ran a blogging SaaS platform for a while. I had some instructions for configuring a reverse proxy to serve the blog. There were instructions for most major web servers. One step …

I worked on a SaaS CMS. A major consumer PC manufacturer was a customer and their "Welcome to your PC" app would pull their news feed from our system. People would turn on their PC…

I worked for a Company that was a vendor for Lenovo. They had some sort of "News about Lenovo" app on all of their commercial grade machines. The content and translations were mana…

I agree on python libraries. There are probably contextual/philosophical reasons why the dependency management works the way it does, but I also don't use it a ton so its not obvio…

Or there was a much longer conversation with twists and turns and the author distilled it for the format.

I love my carbon steel pan.

I accidentally built out this feature at a company once and it totally saved our asses a week later.

It could be that those ads created some sort of brand awareness and that the downside might not be realized for quite some time. I'm not saying that that is the case here, but it c…

I had a similar problem. Where we were supposed to do some sort of optimization (loop unrolling or something) to a function. We had done this several times throughout the course. B…

Yes I thought the irony was beautiful

Right the 20% hesitant in that be in the "waiting to see more data how safe it is camp." Or it could be on the "I don't trust the government camp." It would be interesting to see t…

If it ain't in the headline it's "SO CONFUSING"
