    It's global news to me. Hello from Australia! Edit: Ah wait, I think I get what you mean. By "global news" you mean it's been deemed worthy of sharing to an international audience …

    The comments section gives me intense astroturfing vibes, especially the way it abruptly starts and stops between 2014. Edit: Although the negative comments stop too. Maybe people …

    See https://www.datastax.com/our-people/jonathan-ellis Wikipedia lists them as a founder. Perhaps their author bio is outdated, or Wikipedia is. Not sure about your friend.

    Not the original commenter, but I have often been asked by non-technical colleagues to answer questions about a spreadsheet they've sourced from someone/somewhere else. "So-and-so …

    I don't understand why there's so much negativity here. From my cursory perusal of the docs this looks like a simplified, vendor agnostic re-imaging of something like CDK, with coo…

    My thoughts exactly. We don’t do LeetCode—our interviews are like regular dev work. Candidates get access to an existing codebase on Github complete with a DB, server, and client. …

    Are they capable of fulfilling the role of primary learning material? Or are they supplementary to more traditional texts?

    It must be that time of the year again: https://hn.algolia.com/?q=Papers+We+Love Edit: Not meant as snark, just a playful observation of how often this is shared. Remains a worthy …

    This is frequently still beneficial for the organisation, even when you're doing it for the wrong reasons, and is almost a necessary stepping stone towards achieving true understan…

    Why do you consider this to be a mistake? I've thought about this in the past, but can't really articulate my motivations, and in the end I haven't followed through. Some of my pre…

    Great overview with a minor nit-pick; it's Cross-Origin Resource Sharing rather than Request Sharing. It describes a server's willingness to share its resources across origins. The…

    For those using Java, it's also possible to achieve this using Testcontainers[0]. It's nice to have the test DB setup co-located with your test code, and if you're using JUnit it's…
