This is also me. I was a double CS and Math major in university and one of my favorite classes as a young lad was combinatorics and probability.. 25 years ago.. It's true, if you d…

Not to say it isn't useful to a CS education, but the only time I've ever ran into the well-ordering principle was to establish the foundation for mathematical induction proofs. St…

It's so easy to bait me with this nostalgia. There is something mysterious and enjoyable about dialing-in or connecting to a server in the unknown. During those days, many things w…

Hate to comment on the medium or writing style instead of the content but you're not alone. I understand the terms in the article in isolation or used in other fields, but it seems…

As a dev who only really uses the read-only version of Figma for the most part, I really like what they do. I can't speak for designers but having the Figma diagrams match the libr…

I suppose in the description of "large corp" and service mesh, Someone would already exist and this would already have been worked out. It would be a nightmare dealing with hundred…

Curious to learn more about why it is difficult to debug. I'm not familiar with service mesh. I also work at a large corp, but we use gateways and most things are event driven with…

"I was young, naive, and plagued by impostor syndrome. I held back instead of exploring more, engaging more deeply, and seeking out more challenges. I allowed myself to be carried …

Same here! I was also a teenager in the mid-90s. And I was amazed by IRCd server code and bots. I bought a used copy of the book Slackware Linux unleashed w/CD-ROM and it had some …

It seems that Arizona is #3 for the total number of for-profit prisoners. There may be untapped potential for slave labor and finding creative ways to imprison Americans here. Stat…

This really triggered a lot of old memories from my early career. I started off as the 7th employee - as a Jr dev in a startup that eventually grew to 100+ and felt like an outside…

Your experience almost exactly mirrors my own. I moved from Boston to the Midwest USA in 2016 and kept working remotely until a RIF in 2019. I found a local job that did require a …

As a developer that still uses YUI on multiple production applications, I've never felt that my front-end skills were stagnating due to its usage. The same goes for ExtJs, which I …

I work in Liferay Portal and AUI, which is a fork of YUI. Liferay will probably be impacted greatly by this. My company has done a few large scale Enterprise application implementa…

To change it up a little bit, has anyone here been asked simple debugging questions? I've interviewed at numerous places and I've never been asked the question why a certain piece …

I ran into the same issue with vim in a terminal. I decided to give gVim a try and I really like it. I used to use the sp and vs commands but now find myself using the tabbed windo…
