Exactly. Also I am pretty sure that every few months will someone find more appropriate symbol for each tag.

It is not only about the adds. Even if you pay, they will still spy on you and sell/use this data to show you adds somewhere else on the internet. I will start paying only if they …

I prefer to fix bugs before they hit production. It is almost impossible to do that without tests. Also testable code is usually much more readable than untestable god objects, tig…

No, first question I would have: Why are you talking so much about your education? It feels like profile from a guy who just finished school. I do not thing that education is that …

Did the same thing on work email and found only messages from gitlab. But only 10% of those messages were marked as spam the others were in inbox so I did not notice. This convince…

But that is just one one electron app. Imagine that every desktop app you use is written in electron. I am pretty sure that even 32GB workstation would be stretched to the limits.

Because it is not used by runtime. Mypy is just linter which adds additional restrictions on code which are not enforced by interpreter. You can have false positives so correct pyt…

I do not understand what people like about vscode. If I ignore insane resource consumption this is at most average IDE (the only real benefit over sublime "text editor" is integrat…

I tried to use type hints but I do not see enough value in them to justify making code more complex. It looks to me that they are similar to hungarian notation as they make refacto…

Recently started working on Typescript project and it looks to me like java with really poor tooling, C++ like compilation times and huge mess in libraries (i.e. how to determine w…

If you do that you will probably hurt your productivity. There still will possible errors made by using 3rd party code. In my opinion optional type checking is not comparable to st…

Only if they are correct. I am pretty sure that in old code base it will not be correct unless automatically checked before commit.

That's not true. From my experience unit tests are great for agile. It will allow you to create "trusted" modules which you can move around and rework much easier (you can also tre…

It was the same for me. I was scared that I would be dependent on drugs for the rest of my life. So I avoided doctor and cured myself with some kind of "psychoterapy" and change of…

Actually I really do not like VSC resource consumption and performance. It feels more like eclipse than text editor but it does not offer as many features. If I want something fast…

I worked on real program developed this way. It was Android/iOS tablet application with large part done in C++. C++ part was somehow generated from Java prototype and development w…

Ghostery like filtering is already implemented in firefox ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tracking-protection ).

The same trick was used to convinced Putin to go for olympic games in Sochi. Except they used ad in radio programme [1]. [1] All the Kremlin's Men by Mikhail Zygar

I am C++ programmer so maybe it is different but from my experience projects with only integration tests are nightmare. 1. Integration tests let you know that something is wrong bu…

I agree. But I reacted on comments disqusing if this algorithm is capable of doing more than targeting ads to make them cost effective.

I had one incident which convinced me that their algorithm is easily fooled even by single misclick. I hate ads propagating alcohol so I always report them to FB. Once I misclicked…

Comparing it to similar native app like pidgin it is still about 10 times more.

You can successfully use this approach only if you do not have external dependencies. If you use some library you have basically the same problem as multirepos. I worked in compani…

As I understand it, difference is more political than technical. GCC is made to prevent people plug in nonfree parts into compiler. So you cannot plug in your dynamic library or us…

I agree that C++ is bad but I actually find C much worse for projects bigger than a few thousands of lines. Reasons for this: * lack of namespaces - all names with long prefix look…
