I thought the books were for your shelf tbh. You put one for each language you claim proficiency in.
It’s cool to have niche older books though. My friend has a programming manual in Estonian from either the very late soviet era or very early 90s that has both some dialect of BASIC and some niche dialect of Pascal that I hadn’t even heard of.
You can run quality modern oils for 20k in a car as robust as a Toyota if you change out the filter mid-interval.
Germans specify 12-15k nowadays and they run much tighter tolerances.
It has awesome reviews on Amazon so it’s worth it
Standardize a response body across your APIs that specifies the cause of the non-2xx response. Have an enum per API/service for causes. Include them in the API doc.
If anyone still doesn’t get it, quietly dispose of them at your friend’s pig farm.
I inherited a project where it was essentially impossible to get anything other than 200 OK. Trying to use a private endpoint without logging in? 200 OK unauthorized. Sent gibberish instead of actual request body format? 200 OK bad request. Database connection down? You get the point…
It’s because one is the loneliest number.
I think that’s to do with how permissions work.
Having wi-fi access can technically tell the app where you’re located so you need to give it location access
Which is stupid because it then also gets GPS access.
Who actually rebuys overpriced Apple products every time a new one comes out? Clout chasers maybe, but not normal Apple users.
Up until very recently, only Apple had over 5 years of software support on their phones. With others you’d be lucky to get 3 on flagships and yet Apple had 6-7 years on some models. You could use your phone for 3 years, pass it on to a family member and they’d get to use it for another few years, while still getting updates. I’d argue that if you had a Samsung, you would’ve needed to update more often.
On the computer side they unfortunately do force regular users to upgrade after 6-7 years, which for that market is significantly less than anything running Linux. Of course if you know how to google it, you can get new OS updates for more like 10 if not 15 years. Still scummy. But nobody replaces them annually. Companies replace laptops at 3-4 years usually.
This also affects laptops with anything up to a 7th gen i7 and any amount of RAM and storage. Even if they have the correct TPM version. On a technical level, these devices are absolutely capable of running Windows 11, Microsoft just didn’t wanna.
That’s just being overly pedantic.
self hosted means hosted by yourself
A lot of selfhosters share with family. I’m not gonna make my wife spin up her own servers when she can use mine.
Must be OP trying to hide it, Toggl displayed it proudly. The author used to work for Toggl marketing and ask can be seen from this post, did an excellent job. He still has a webcomic, it’s just not marketing for Toggl anymore. Here it is
As for bias - it’s a time tracking tool, but I don’t think they actually shill for waterfall, I think it’s just poking fun at the agile methodologies.
Yes, that’s true. You’ll have to find a coping mechanism of your own.
Me? I wasn’t able to cope with having a soul-crushing job where I had to be there from 9 to 5 and do nothing particularly intellectually engaging. I quit without a new job in hand. What happened from that point on was pure luck though, so I can’t really recommend you do this.
I swear by the go for a walk one.
Doesn’t mean you’ll magically be able to concentrate but context switches sometimes help focus on different issues. Plus it’s healthy. Spend 3 days cooped up in your home trying to work from home and that walk outdoors is going to do wonders for your well-being.
It’s like a quick reboot for your brain. Not a silver bullet, but sometimes it helps. A lot of the time it doesn’t.
That requires subsidies though. And it has to be at least 5 days a week.
Near my hometown in Estonia there was a bus line that if you depended on it to get to town, you had to wait till next week to get back. Local gvt didn’t pay for enough trips per week. I believe it got fixed after it got some media attention.
I think that’s mostly an American stereotype, I believe Estonia and France and several other European countries get roughly the same amount of paid holidays as well as paid time off. Though apparently you guys also have a 35 hour work week, which I’m jealous of!
On the plus side we have actual holidays and good luck bothering me outside of hours, haha!
I mean we have that here in Estonia too :P
I think that’s actually a then keyword
Y’know, from back when it was common for languages to do if foo then baz
I hear the French usually program in French as well. I do not want to ever work in France.
Probably just the extra cost of linkage and maybe risk of tripping over it
