Neat! How did you find out (and when) .codes was going to be released?

This looks super cool! I just tried it out and am having a hard time following the README. > The blue circle shows your breathing control What does this mean? What should I be look…

Using setups like this is a great way to get into neovim. Over time you'll start tweaking it and then realize you can just read the source code and implement your own version. That…

How did this work exactly? Twilio would answer the call, listen for a number, and "press" 9 if the number was in an allow list?

CDC is slightly different; it depends what type of events you are interested in. This is a pretty good read: https://debezium.io/blog/2020/02/10/event-sourcing-vs-cdc .

Since most people responding here have some sort of technical job, what sort of stuff are you working on? All of the bootcamps I'm aware of focus on web development. Do you still d…

Good point

Most people here (including myself) will have the same feeling. Would be great if it was open source.

I really want to use VSCode, but the one HUGE thing holding me back is lack of a hot key to show/hide VSCode. I use iTerm and am used to opening/closing it with Ctrl + `. Having to…

I tried switching to VSCode earlier this week and am really having a hard time with it. I'm coming from iterm/vim/tmux. The most painful part has been the lack of a hot key to brin…

Exactly. When I was in high school, two other classmates and I would go to our English teacher's class during homeroom for SAT prep. We did this for 10 minutes a day for maybe a mo…

I tend to place engineers in one of two buckets-- those who make tools and those who use the tools. Most people fall into the latter bucket and can get by without hardcore CS knowl…

The small message results from only storing message, channel, and server ids as opposed to the entire message. How efficient is ES at storing the rest of the message data in the in…

Got it. I was under the impression that all messages were lazily indexed. After reading the article again it's pretty clear that's not the case. Thanks for the clarification.

Oh, I think I get it now-- is it that the _initial_ indexing is lazy, but all indexing after that is done automatically by the historical index workers? Basically when a user searc…

I really enjoy Discord's blog. Their Cassandra write up was excellent as well. A couple of thoughts and questions: - Having many clusters and assigning messages to a specific clust…

I'd be interested in attending the talk. Have any more info?

Have the link to Mugsy? Sounds pretty cool.

What methods do people prefer for boots?

A classmate and I did a bit of contract work for a company. We built out some widgets for a dashboard with d3.

Sometimes accepting a shitty job just to get started is the only option. You do what you have to do though.

I think it might be a bit unfair. Don't get me wrong, I have seen people who had the mentality of "I'll just go to a bootcamp and start making good money." There are definitely oth…

That's simply not true. Plenty of students have had success after bootcamps.

I did one back in 2013 and went in with very minimal experience-- I could write simple loops in python but had no idea how to actually build something. At the time I wasn't even su…

Grouping of sub-dependency groups (e.g. a testing group). That seems like an improvement over having multiple requirement files. Then again, I'm perfectly happy with separate dev/t…
