yes, unfortunately this is all evidence people here needed

> Yes, horrible, but at what point does the consensus become that October 7 starts to look like a small event in light of the death toll on the other side At the point when other s…

as someone who moved to Netherlands couple of years ago, I started to be much more annoyed by cyclist in other countries. In Netherlands if I hear ring I know I'm doing something w…

I hate to tell you, but you are doing it wrong If infrastructure is shared it doesn't mean you have more rights to pass than pedestrian. Moreover, bell as a way to warn doesn't wor…

That's basically scaled up story of 'I store my files on my computer and it is 10x cheaper than using dropbox' While disks fail rate is already explored in another threads here, th…

calling everything 'for AI' is the new standard >if you're reading from, like, big Parquet files, that probably means lots of random reads and it also usually means that you should…

>They shouldn't have sold the games on Steam in countries where PSN is not available yep, as simple as that this would have made the situation much better. Game would have gotten l…

If you give access to your DB directly, your API effectively becomes your API with all the contract obligations of the API. Suddenly you don't completely control your schema: you c…

while this is technically correct, difference is that your product won't survive without openai at this point. If you need the model quality openai provides you are stuck and your …

>Nintendo didn't really need to do any marketing still they did. I'm in Warsaw and I see countless of zelda ads: whole walls of huge buildings are covered with them. They probably …

I guess it depends on what you do and your goals. It might be not necessary to do average developers job (and full disclosure, it wasn't necessary 10 years ago as well). But unders…

>Let's keep in mind that modern hardware and software is very stable, generally Not at any significant scale. dimm will fail, power will be down, disks will need replacement. It is…

their point is simple: during the last 20-30 years we had efficiency improvements by orders of magnitude. Still we didn't have developers jobs reduction in any way. We evolved into…

using 'unclean' code practice will increase development costs. And more importantly - maintainability of such code. >Virtually every distributed service built today is able to take…

>Imagine replacing poor in-memory reimplementation of database queries that most graphql servers do with actual opttimised database queries. And a better code on top. but you are a…

no take your tupical web service application. Even if you use design patterns that are 10x slower, your program will still be as fast as your DB and overall system architecture. An…

>all things being equal, writing code with virtual functions that do a tiny amount of work and "hiding implementation details" makes performance worse, sometimes by an order of mag…

>Write slow code now, profile and optimize later is how we got all slow software because second step We got slow software because we were ok to get slow software. If being fast is …

I knew a _very_ talented female software developer. And she was radically against any benefits based on her being female. For example she actively tried to avoid female discounts s…

I remember how tdd (together with scrum) was basically a religion in 'large corporations'. How a lot of people talked about 'the right way to do things'. Your comment made me smile…

kafka is a good fit when you design modern system. As your system grows larger, necessity of message queue becomes obvious. And kafka is probably the most widely used general-purpo…

not a coincidence yandex has its own VCS (called arkadia). But not all services used it, some used github public and private. After war started, they had to migrate everything to i…

The (not so) fun fact here is that majority of IT workers won't do this. While exec might want their mansions, we want our latte and iphones. I work at a company which recently had…

simple answer - without you they easily find other developers. Without them you will have to find another exec to work for. And as long as it is easier for them to find replacement…
