    I've been doing this for years (8+ at most recent place?) and we did it about 15years ago at place before. We keep having to relearn these features, which is on eof the reasons why…

    Although I might disagree with the style of the write up, I think it is right that there are weak engineering practices applied: - not enough information provided in commit message…

    I think that by exploring how different cultures and languages communicate about things opens the mind. There are concepts that can't be easily/succinctly explained in English but …

    Maybe this is similar to web search too. We know how to get google to return the results we want, and when we use other tools like Bing we get other behaviour.

    We use gitlab at work, and I have to say that it is disappointing. The UI is so complicated to do the simplest things (e.g. to approve a MR you need to click a button that is actua…

    First step is to get ssh setup correctly, and second step is to enable a firewall to block incoming connections on everything except the key ports (ssh but on a different port/web/…

    I think the better question to ask is what services peak at a few hundred transactions per second?

    I think it depends on what you're using it for. If it is a simple kubernetes config then the model doesn't matter too much. Contract that with writing the scenario for a backtest f…

    I think that hearing other points of view is important. I see time and time again that posts insinuate that there's no other point of view, and I think that highlighting one perspe…

    I think that for the average developer this might be true. I think that for excellent developers, they spend a lot of time thinking about the edge cases and ensuring that the syste…

    I thought that new models were typically released in October. Have I misremembered or is this an unusual timing vs previous years? If so, I wonder why the earlier release?

    It is a commonly used extension, which was restricted so that I could no longe remove it. What's more odd is that supposedly I was running the latest version.

    I did it today. It took me thirty minutes to fix the networking because I couldn't get Little Snitch to uninstall since it didn't seem to be compatible. Basically I had to reboot i…

    Considering that new speakers don't use SoundTouch, I wonder too. I hope that they keep the app running for a while. This kit is expensive and it can't have a short life time!

    Your point was thought provoking. In problem solving the "what" and the "how" are orthogonal since the method doesn't dictate the goal. However, if it takes a long time to do somet…

    I think that’s because the barrier to entry for a beginner is much higher than say python.

    Looking at the article headings these don't feel like computer science, and rather how to approach coding problems. This is useful, but not Computer Science. I think that we should…

    One thing to check is whether any security/monitoring software might be causing issues. Since there are so many files in git repos, it can put a lot of load on that type of softwar…

    In my early teens I used to try to create something like a equirectangular projection because when drawing it, it looked cool. Obviously I had no idea that it was called this. I wa…

    I think that there are definitely bad ways to lay people off and those should be avoided. As a manager/company, not trying to do this as best you can reflects very badly in the wor…

    I think I read 20,000,000 need housing and this will impact 20,000 per year so broadly the numbers are inline.

    Really impressive. Well done (and thanks for the laughs. Starting in French would be so funny)

    Is this true? Do you have a source? I thought that the pros tended to make use of polar’s technology and that their heart rate monitoring (via strap) was considered the most accura…
