I personally refuse live coding sessions during interviews, including whiteboard programming. If they require this during an interview the company’s not for me.
Don’t mind code challenges where I have a timeframe and can submit. It’s not how you code normally so why should it be how you’re hired?
I must be in like some weird alternate reality because my boss recognises that the office is a distraction, and doesn’t go there often himself. We go there very seldomly, primarily to catch up with colleagues, but not to work on our tasks.
I get maybe 15-20% of my normal work done at the office.
Granted this might increase over time if I came in regularly but it’d never touch how productive I am at home. This rhetoric about losing productivity working from home is dangerous and bullshit.
I’ve used it for years, it’s solid. Mostly good quality and some very reliable uploaders.
Disclaimer: I’m the developer
Wasn't lemmy created by tankies? Avoided it for kbin (I'm aware of the federation) due to this.
Excretions, movements and examinations (tweets, threads and quotes)
I second this. Very good quality reviews, and enjoyable to watch. Ended up getting a Miyoo Mini + based upon his review..
While I agree with some of the premises here, I personally disagree that comments are even mostly a problem (a code smell). IMO they’re just as often bad as code is. A developer in a rush, or simply not taking enough care in their work, can produce both bad code and bad comments.
Perhaps someone who is trying to take care can do more harm in the comments area, when they should be perhaps looking at writing self documenting code, but in my experience they usually go hand in hand.
I use quite a lot of comments in my code and I wouldn’t regard it as code smell or even messy. I often use comments to logically separate more complex sections of functionality.. or discussing how it works and why it’s necessary to exist in the first place. Code can’t always tell you why it’s there..
I also use docblocks in some libraries, even though types are available, as the published package benefits from having an API document published alongside it. The comments there facilitate its construction.
I know this article wasn’t bashing every use of comments in code but I feel like it didn’t account for all the positive uses of them either. Teaching developers that a language feature is just mostly bad is irresponsible - we should be encouraging good comment use alongside clear code.
Absolutely goddamn pitiful. Fuck Reddit.
Yep. He took a massive ego trip early on and immediately came across as someone I don’t particularly want to side with.
I’m a web developer and fundamentally disagree with his take on what JavaScript can do on the client side. I see what he’s getting at but I think he’s wrong. JavaScript can certainly detect access to resources (ads in this instance) without violating any enforceable policies. Half the internet does error handling with JS for things that won’t load - how can this be construed as violating eprivacy? Nonsense.
That being said I’d love for this feature to go away and would be happy to see YouTube and Google go pound sand.. but this feels like a stretch. It was inevitable enshittification imo.
I’d highly recommend these - they’re not all strictly electronic but I feel there’s overlap at least:
- Sasha - Scene Delete
- Jon Hopkins - Immunity
- Daniel Avery - Drone Logic
- Bonobo - Black Sands
- BT - This Binary Universe
- Boards of Canada - Tomorrow’s Harvest
- Hugo Kant - Far From Home
- Bicep - Bicep
- Sub Focus - Sub Focus
Bonobo spans genres but he’s probably my favourite artist right now. His Late Night Tales entry (not electronic) was one of the best albums I’ve ever heard.
I run a second Unraid server with a couple of backup-related applications, as well as Duplicati. I have my main server network mounted and run scheduled jobs to both copy data from the main pool to the backup pool, as well as to Backblaze. Nice having the on-site backup as well as the cloud based.
I occasionally burn to 100gb blurays as well for the physical backup.
I’ve seen this and it’s disappointing, but I’d sooner stop using the website than I would Firefox.
On the contrary however the certificate authority I use only grants certificates to Firefox or Safari browsers.. so there’s that.
I have 2 sisters.. We talk and game almost daily. We’re super close.
These other responses are honestly quite shocking.
Yes! His “Selected ambient works” are out of this world!
Exactly. You’re being fed HTML etc and then deciding how to render it (or part of it in the case of ad blocking). This isn’t piracy. There’s no rules that come with the HTML in terms of how to render it. Different browsers can render it a number of different ways so how is not rendering part of it any different?
It is indeed a ludicrous idea.
ActivityPub is from W3C and is an open protocol for anyone to use. No one to target there legally speaking. It’s up to the consumers of the protocol to reject and defederate.
It sucks but a cheap USB sound blaster would work fine here..
I see no downvotes 🤔. It’s at +61/-0 right now so far as I can see..
I’ve had a Fully for over a year now, and it’s killer. Great build quality and it looks special. Doesn’t seem to struggle under my triple monitor setup with several laptops on the table at the same time.
Only problem is that they stopped shipping to several European countries, like Finland.
I second BT here.. most of his albums are great imo. I like all of them but currently loving “_”
Yes.. not a social network is it? Rubbish title this one.
What did you upgrade to? I’m also still on a 1070 and dreading the upgrade. Thinking AMD 7000 series though.
Veracrypt and use a hidden encrypted partition so you have plausible deniability. Remove the app after. If it’s encrypted it’ll be fine so long as it doesn’t look obvious.
I’ve never heard of border guards checking devices, ever… and definitely not randomly. If you’re paranoid the cloud is a safer option of course, as others have said. Backblaze is great for cost etc.. but definitely encrypt before upload imo.
