Semver is based on a lie. It assumes that you can define what is the proper behavior of a library. That's not necessarily true, and can be subtlety false, and different depending on the use case. I can think on some situations where

There should be no shame in younger people above ourselves. I am 46 and a coupple of years ago the CEO and CTO of the company I worked for were in their twenties. It did not bother me at all. If they do their jobs properly, it is fine at an

I think that there are 2 foundationañ problems that make complex projects over budget: 1. Stakeholders are incentivized to negotiate down the budget, skewing the result. 2. Breaking down a big task into smaller ones comes with the risk of m

The appeal for me is that I prefer to have my own kitchen to prepare most of my own meals while traveling. Cannot do that in a hotel room.

Extra points: leave old and outdated documentation and scripts in the repository. New documentation should go to a wiki that is not referenced in code and does not track versions. Different parts of the wiki should apply to different code v

Please unflag the grand parent. Even thou I do not agree with what it says, I think it is interesting to have the discussion.

I find it sad that this post was flagged. If it is not found interesting by the community no one would upvote it and it would just fade away. Flagging posts like this one makes hacker news far less interesting.

That's not true. It needs to recharge a part of the electricity used. For example, if it provides 2/3 of the electricity being used it would potentially triple the range.

Given what you explained, it seems to me that the cloud was an excuse given by the new overlords to just get you out off the way. Cloud is fashionable now, but any excuse would work for them. This seems to be a power grab.

Commit early. But do not commit garbage. Each commit should be a small but meaningful advance. All tests should pass. If working with compiled code, off course it should compile. No todos. No clunky var or method names. A branch per merge r

I meant it literally, including making other people sick or making other people to not have access to a hospital.

It is very different to discriminate someone for who they are than to discriminate someone for what they do.

These people also die from the flu and common cold. We cannot stop the world for them.

The first example test given (rate limiter) gives a bad answer. I wouldn't use this method.

No need for door bells. No need for street signs. No need for taxi stops. No need for privately owned cars (rent via phone app or use Uber like service). Those things affect urban planning a lot.

We humans work by analogy. Experienced people think, probably unconsciously, it is similar as these tasks that took about this time. No breakdown required.

The difference is that nVidia would not be able to remove your NFT from its db of serial numbers, because the association between the number and you, instead of being in a DB it is in the blockchain itself, and the only one that can change

+1. Your experience is synergic with programming. Use it to your advantage. Learn a bit of python and begin solving little problems for you. Do it for a while and you will know how to program.

Both CommonJS and ES6 modules suck. The way things should have been is requirejs. Modules are defined and loading using an API instead of having reserved words. It's really sad what happened to modules in JavaScript.
