This is an extremely important piece of advice. To drive change in a large org, you will need support, which will either come from management, or people on the ground - this is purely people skills. Just writing amazing code and shipping it

This looks very interesting. Would you have references ? ( not necessarily on grokking but about the part where computation can occur only when the right balance is found )

I think that was fairly common with sierra games, happened a lot less with Lucas ones.

This happened to me years ago - I realized that the interviewer was expecting a very specific answer, but that didn’t apply to the specific system I was working on ( something like ‘ we dont follow best practice X because it’s a 25 yo app w

How do you define ‘worth it’ ?

Not really - I’d say he just really wants to. Just like when you meet someone and want to spend time with them, are binge watching a show, playing a video game, reading a book, writing code : you want to do that thing again, here learn man

I’m not sure it’s procrastination. Years ago, when struggling with maths , I learned juggling ( 5 balls, tricks etc ) and ended up spending quite a bit of time on it every single day. In practice, it made me feel very good, more relaxed, be

I don’t live in the US . In my case I’ve made lifelong friends in the office - we’ve had different experiences in our respective jobs.

Ada didn’t have generators back then and still doesn’t ( I think its being considered for inclusion soon ). But it had all the other features.

I second this.

It looks like you’re working in a very toxic environment if you consider all your coworkers like that - you might want to leave. I’ll add that being disappointed with people is something that will happen outside of work as well : failed rom

I want to build relationships with my coworkers because it makes my life better - I like being around people. It also creates strong feelings of trust, which then improves work quality of life, and therefore my work. Furthermore, many peopl

I’m going to spend more time at work than at home - I’d rather do it with people I like. I had students years ago telling me ´ I want to work in field x because there’s good money , but based on my experience, I don’t like the people/c

Comparing 74 and 75 with no confidence interval and claiming one was bigger than the other was rather bold I thought.

Hezbollah considers that they must fight Israel following the Gaza war. They’ve stated they won’t stop until the Israelis leave Gaza. The average Sunni Muslim in Beirut either remembers, or has family who remembers what happened during the

This was in the middle of the Lebanese civil war in 1982 , the Lebanese government had no control over anything. Furthermore, after the Israeli entered Lebanon in 1982, they didn’t fully leave the country until 2000, which is what caused th

Hezbollah members in Lebanon are not necessarily perceived as bad people - why would the scar be a problem ? Hezbollah claims it’s a resistance movement to Israel, they’re now wearing a scar caused by Israel in a mass coordinated attack, wh

I’m behind a corporate proxy. This means that a very very large portion of the internet is now unavailable to me.

Older versions of go (1.0 for example ) were much less safe. I had a look at the code, and it closes the file directly, and marks it as unusable. However, if you do concurrent operations, you can race and close twice the underlying fd - whi

Bach doesn’t do that for me at all ( I hear numbers and structure and can’t help so Bach is purely intellectual to me ), but I agree with you on Part : his music moves me in a way no other composer can. I hear both the peace and chaos of l

I dislike the multiple close pattern - I was bitten by this behavior years ago, when the second close() ended up closing another file which had been opened between the first and second close ( I think they were actually sockets ). It was a

Yep. I used windowmaker then enlightenment ( I fell prey to shiny baubles ) then kde3 ( yes, in my mind still the single best desktop environment I’ve ever used ), and now i3. I love i3.

I didn’t know mplayer had been forked - this looks good to me. The primary reason why I used mplayer in the early 2000s was performance, both in terms of cpu and for lack of a better word ‘ smoothness ‘. Basically all other players seemed

I like your idea. I was schooled in abstract 20th century math - indeed YouTube is the opposite, and it’s a good thing. One of my math teachers was once talking to Jean Dieudonné https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Dieud

Isn’t this just a consequence of intel making bad products and therefore not making good money ?

There are plenty of places with ‘very long term permanent consultants’, which you buy because they’re easy to fire in less flexible job markets. Comparing their salaries ( what they actually make in the end ) with perm salaries, and factori
