I see a mismatch between the library API `filter` vs the supported operator `| SORT rating desc"`. You could use the API to your advantage by separating concerns: add a new `.sort(…

It is indeed annoying. For Kotlin, its advantage is that it had the nullability concept from its inception. For Java, they need to make sure previous code behaviour does not change…

Absolutely agree. @bbobgravity is trying to create a sort of heuristic rule that simply does not work.

I usually use mailinator.com for this purpose. In the past I found other similar services through Google search, but certainly didn't find yours. Probably working on your website S…

Absolutely, I know my odds of failing are above 95% but also know that the odds of learning and having fun is 100%

Summarizing, after a nice adventure at a startup, I'm quite tired of it. My main issue is I have a lot of decision power in this company (without being in a management role), and I…

Objective-C Block syntax. That made me a heavy user of http://fuckingblocksyntax.com

My mom is unable to pronounce "Netflix" correctly (Spanish is her mother language), she always said something like "nesflis". So yeah, years ago I bought nesflis.com for her.

Well, I've been following numbers for the last two months in different countries from different sources. My initial best estimations were that the fatality rate was about 0.77% giv…
