Boulder Colorado has a public airport bus route that is pretty widely used - it takes one hour and is well liked by the general public.

Same - my new team doesn’t do any scrum or story points and it’s an amazing breath of fresh air - don’t miss those days just yelling random numbers at the zoom call for hours. The …

Virtual credit card numbers are a great way to combat this. For example, the Wall Street journal pricing is pretty wild (8 dollars a month for the first 3 months then jumps to much…

Must be a shoe type thing - I’ve never had any smell with La Sportiva (solution, futura, Muira or katana)

In that setup, how do you write a test which acts against a mock version of your API client (a static function in your proposal?)

I got mine for health reasons (low back, must work lying down sometimes), and while for me it’s a really useful tool, I couldn’t see working in it full time. It’s just too bulky, l…

Abstraction is a an abstract word, but as an example, I would consider the process of refactoring a big piece of code which mixed together api requests and view presentation into a…

As an opposite view point I work on a 10 year old legacy iOS app which has almost no abstractions and it’s a huge mess. Most classes are many thousands of lines long and mix every …

Climbing works great in jeans if they are a bit stretchy. Especially good for knee bars - almost as good as a knee pad and 1100% more stylish

America is a land of inequality. There are many people (poor) which have bad healthcare, but for many others (the wealthy, stably employed), healthcare is excellent. If you have a …

FAANG jobs absolutely hire engineers over zoom. It’s not just one interview, but the whole process is done remotely over video. It typically includes somewhere between 5 to 10 sess…

At least in the USA one major piece of the college application is a standardized test - a concept very similar to a Leetcode interview.

Thin boned and uncoordinated? Rock climbing is your sport! Go to a local gym and try it for a few months and you might find yourself getting really good really fast

Swift enums support union types as well, and are also very useful.

I recently left town for 1 month and got the post office to hold my mail. It was all delivered in bulk when I came back. Out of the huge bundle of 100 mail pieces, there was only 1…

Actually coding is the domain of mid level and senior engineers. Staff engineers architect, design technical strategy, collaborate across teams. A proper staff engineer might only …

That seems about as realistic as immediate dismissal from your job if you forget to unmute yourself on zoom.

Id be interested in a C++ for Swift developers version.

As a converse view point, in my experience, in terms of huge methods and huge files / classes, its rare to see developers who have the mindset of "in general, I prefer small files …

Being able to talk to the model has been awesome for my conversational Spanish. I’m holding conversations and getting live corrections on my grammar.

Swift allows you to program using “headers” - just have a protocol and an implementation, even in separate files if you want. This is a good pattern for some cases, like the public…

SwiftUI exists to solve exactly this problem - the ui is declarative and state driven. However, its predecessor UIKit is mostly imperative and it takes a lot of manual code to keep…

I’m not sure I buy this - who is looking to max out their HELOC? Of course one good reason to do that is to buy another property, but of course, this again is a chicken or egg prob…

Curious - which individuals benefit from housing values rising? It seems like if you own a home, and it gets more expensive, you have more money on paper, but how do you benefit fr…
