Gender is a pointer

And then it gives you the most generic answer how to run a docker build, that doesn’t actually address the problem

I hear this criticism all the time, but I’ve never seen it happen in 5 companies I’ve worked for so far. Usually there’s an understanding that estimates are wild guessing, and things are planned using dependencies rather than timeliness.

yes

In most companies there’s no incentive to write good code. It does the job? Keep it. Oh it costs 5x in AWS costs than it theoretically could if it was a good design? Who cares nobody even understands infrastructure costs

It can’t be repeated enough: never pre-order a game

Well, that’s the thing you could have it if you invested all the money that currently goes into highways. The amount of money is always limited (everybody hates taxes for a reason), so building large quantities of both is impossible.

Roads are always going to cost more in the end, but they’re easier to build incrementally. Boiling the frog situation.

Even if policy of your local government changes (which is at least a little up to you) you will still have to suffer the current situation and keep driving for a while before a better system is built. But that’s no reason to throw good money after the bad.

Unless there’s another bus for the other 50% of the travel. The point of a public transportation system is to be just that - a system. To get from anywhere to anywhere else.

Just reminded me of an argument trying to explain that arithmetic with floating point numbers is not always correct to a coworker who was a mathematician just starting in software dev.

In a mathematicians mind the fact that an arithmetic operation can produce inaccurate result is just incomprehensible

Wow you’re lucky. I’ve always wanted a job like that.

And for a while I had something similar but unfortunately rotten. We had a ping pong table, afterwork parties, no overtime, lunch, even a swimming pool. And we could use all of it.

However we were seriously underpaid, I got an 80% raise just by saying hello in another company. No remote work without any reason at all (most of my team was in other countries). And awful decision making by upper management.

Made me cynical if something like it is even possible. Glad to hear it is.

Good luck connecting to each of the 36 pods and grepping the file over and over again

I’m also kinda wary of saving cards in the browser. So I created a virtual card with a spending limit for that purpose.

Although there’s more to fear from malware stealing saved passwords. Fraudulent transactions can be reversed, identity theft will do a lot more damage.

As long as the bank has a good API, there’s nothing stopping anyone except money.

There is a cost to making a good app. And banks have no incentive to open source their current apps - if it’s any good it’s a competitive advantage.

For example - I’m currently using a bank because their app is awesomely good (compared to other banks). Why would they open source it - it means customers might go to other banks who do better on interest rates, or fees.

Semicolons are not at all comparable to types.

Types give structure to your program, prevent bugs and make team work easier. Semicolons are an artifact of the times it was thought multiple statements could go on a same line. Although I do admit, they make language design easier.

After 10 years of doing it for work, I still get frustrated about language issues.

But semicolons? It’s 2023, why does your language have semicolons at all? If you’re one of those poor sods stuck with Java, still it’s not an issue, all IDEs will warn you, and basically complete half the code for you.

Vućić (the president) is presenting himself as the only possible savior of the nation. It’s an emotional play, actual steps taken are less relevant than being in the news as taking some kind of action. His voters fall for it and he knows it. He’s not going to swing anyone new to his side, but motivate existing supporters to go out and vote.
