I strongly disagree. We treat chickens quite poor. Laying hens for example, we throw most male chicks into a shredder because they can't produce eggs. That's beyond cruel regardless of their mental capacity. Another example. Chic

Cows out to pasture likely have a good life, but I wouldn't say feedlots are especially kind. They are fairly crowded with little to no green space. I do agree with the rest of your statements though. Beef farming is far kinder then a

You're quite correct. My team just inherited a large node codebase that had proxy sprinkled everywhere, complete with a custom undocumented dsl written using proxies. It was a nightmare to learn, hard to extend without breaking and re

This seems quite odd to me. I work with people remotely and on site, and it's amazing how much better communication is when both parties turn their webcam on. Body language conveys things that tone, and words don't

They are both types of chats. We use a combination of skype for business and zoom (zoom supports external people far better than skype, and actually works better in all regards). Our time zone difference isn't as extreme as a 10 hour

While i'm not 100% remote (i'm part of a small regional office that has a massive head office in another part of the country, but I can work from home). Something i've found incredibly important is jumping on video chat. Th

My experience so far is, i've made more opportunities for myself going to the bar/pub/coffee shop after a meet up to shoot the shit with my peers than anything i've ever put on my resume. Your degree is largely just a wa

Requiring apple hardware to develop for ios is a pretty big reason to prefer mbp over pixel. Even if you aren't an ios developer, a development shop that does mobile will most likely deploy macs to their developers.

I think this applies beyond ruby/rails I've seen the extremes of 100% tdd and 0 tests, and the most efficient projects/applications are the ones that are somewhere in the middle, you don't need tests for every single thi

Thanks for the tips, I'm still ramping up on ios development and the apple eco system with a deadline I barely managed. I'll take this into consideration for the next Sprint.

Now that swift is opensource i'm looking forward to some better tools being released for it. Right now xcodes support of swift is pretty lacking. No refactoring, and compile errors are fairly ambiguous sometimes. Since this has linux

Interesting, i'll have to give it a shot to see how it works. Any plans to provide integrations for something like alamofire? If I could abstract all of the work to a special response handler i'd definitely switch over

If you violate the license agreement from apple there's potential for legal repercussions, and when you are trying to make money from their distribution channel (app store) it's generally better to not violate any of their rules.

My advice for written exams is just memorize the basics (conditionals,loops,access control) and also to talk to whoever is grading the exam prior to you taking it. Often written exams will only deduct minor points for something an ide/

I believe older java versions are already incompatible with newer jvms. I couldn't find it explicitly stated but i'd be surprised if 1.4 code worked 100% correct on a 1.7 jvm. My experience so far is that the list of incompatibil

Can you enlighten the uninformed what would make OpenBSD more secure by default? It's my firm belief that the only secure system in the world is one that no one can use, biggest security hole you can add is a person...

I didn't know about Grand Central Dispatch, my experience with iOS is fairly limited. I agree that UI is super important, but personally if i find an app is chewing up my battery it's getting removed regardless of its utility. I&

Because you can is largely why I wrote the post. That being said, i think the nature of go routines and how go handles threading could be very important for mobile. We are all walking around with handsets that have multiple weak cores. If
