Thank you!
Thank you!
How did they determine this data?
Is this accounting for inflated C-suite salaries/stock?
You might want to consider a more thorough wiping of your area code next time. It’s pretty easy to figure out what it is through the scribbles
Can you clarify what the distinction is?
My favorite coincidence of data was that the year that Doom came out was the same year that violent crime & murder rates started declining in the 90s
I have a MacBook for work with only 16GB of RAM and I’m constantly running into problems of not having enough and my computer running slowly because of it. Credit where credit is due though, they did an amazing job of making it so when I’m having to use 16GB of swap space, my computer doesn’t come to a screeching halt. That doesn’t change the fact that I don’t have enough to run the applications I need to on a day to day basis.
Myth: software engineers replicate value similar to a factory worker making the same item over and over
Truth: software engineers are closer to artists than factory workers IMO. We find and create new value, not replicate existing value
I have over a dozen years of experience as a software engineer and I started learning Scala and monads recently for a new job. I’ve come to the conclusion that monads are terrible and make things more difficult despite the on-paper description. Don’t worry about it, you’re much more competent than you think.
It’s the Stay-Puft marshmallow man!
Are we just doing out of order reruns of the 20th century?
I installed one in my garage a bit over 5 years ago and have never had a problem with it. My parents also installed one in their garage several years before that. They did have an issue with it at first but I think they replaced it with a newer version of the charger (same version I have) and haven’t had any issues since then.
Not my story but the US government has tried a number of times to force engineers at Google/Apple to write backdoors into their encryption in order to “fight the terrorists”. They’ve been prevented from doing that on 1st amendment grounds. Example: https://www.natlawreview.com/article/encryption-and-speech-surplus-building-backdoor-to-first-amendment
I just recently updated a database call to return the last 7 days of data instead of all data from all time. It went from taking 30+seconds to around 2-4 seconds. Still a long way to go to make it “good” but at least it’s not timing out now.
If you think it’s slow, first prove it with a benchmark
So many crimes against maintainability are committed in the name of performance. Optimisation tears down abstractions, exposes internals, and couples tightly. If you’re choosing to shoulder that cost, ensure it is done for good reason.
Unfortunately I believe there is a long case history that prevents courts from forcing them to say things as it violates the 1st amendment. Similar to forcing engineers to write code that puts “backdoors” into security systems.
Liar is also an acceptable description IMO
