I'm the author of this tutorial, crazy to see it linked here 20yrs after I wrote it. It was an assignment for 400-level COSC at Otago, everyone in the class had to write a tutorial on something and then present it. The department jus

It means 'which isn't acceptable'. I am also confused as to why they used this turn of phrase, perhaps to sound more colloquial. It sounds weird to me too, and comical, coming from a govt department, but perhaps it is indic

Scammers also do this for searches like 'aircanada' (no spaces), including sometimes impersonating the official website while telling you to call a support number as the website is down.

Me too, after using Android auto on one car it's a must-have on any new car for me. Better nav system, Google assistant, Spotify, podcasts, messages. Turns my car into a drive able phone.

Also error conditions - telling a fake to give you a specific error before you run the test is no different from telling a mock to do it.

I worked in Switzerland, the 13th month wasn't a bonus, they simply took your salary, divided that by 13, that was your monthly payment and you got 2 of them in December. Also many bills are due on the first of January for the whole ne

I had one too, and I went to a pixelbook instead of the new MBP. Pixelbook is awesome, form factor is great, it is so light, and now that I'm used to tap-to-click, going back to a Mac trackpad feels so clunky.

I disagree with this entirely, its basically the opposite of the point of the article. It sounds like the kind of leader that would have to insert their superior technical knowledge into every decision the team makes and who won't rec

This is similar to the reason that household brands have such terrible packaging design. It's a form of price differentiation - if you can afford the more expensive version you'll avoid the ugly one just because it doesn't l

I interviewed about engineer who used to work for a South American casino company, and he explained that on Saturday nights the machines are configured to pay out 110%, then the next morning... Much less.

I can comment on using pub/sub - it's an immensely useful abstraction for these kinds of tasks and something that is quite difficult to implement yourself with the same level of guarantees that using the cloud service will provide
