Nodu is a minimalist personal development app that helps you stay focused on long-term goals, day by day. Every morning you decide what you will do and what you will not do by swiping away objectives and only keeping ones you want to focus

I'm surprised to see Kotlin in your list. Google has stated they are increasingly moving Android development to a Kotlin-first ideology. New official libraries produced by Google for Android are designed with Kotlin chiefly in mind, so

I found out about Arctype a while ago when I started writing for their blog about SQL, a topic I really enjoy. I'd recommend checking out their product if you spend a lot of time in SQL databases: it has tons of cool features, a nice f

The worst part: if the person sends you a text while you're scrolled up it will jump all the way to present time.

Author here. I have sent/received 643,576 messages since 2009 which totaled 590MB. To my knowledge media is never stored in the SQL database (for iMessage).

While web browsers on iOS are unfortunately just re-skinned Safari, you actually are able to create/download totally custom keyboards. A while back I created a custom keyboard to translate what you type and help you learn a new languag

Not a recruiter but a co-worker who asked me "Do you know what an algorithm is? We might need one."

While I had a positive experience with the Uber app software-wise (app functioned seamlessly landing in Mumbai from U.S.A.), Uber as a service was not really comparable to what it is like in the U.S. and developed W. European countries. I g

I've gone back and forth on this in respect to database tables and ultimately prefer singular. If the table is named "profile", I think it's obvious that it can store more than 1 profile, since... well it's a table

I was in Death Valley last weekend. Drove there from SF with Model Y, ended up renting an ICE car to explore the park, especially since we were staying 1.5 hours from the center of the park. I saw several Teslas around the park, and I think

I interviewed at Discogs about 3 years ago (after discovering they were local to me in Portland, OR). Seemed like a great group of people working there!

Yeah, wasn't trying to say this was an example of graph. Maybe it is slightly outside what would be considered "standard" relational DB use case? My impression of recursive CTE's in RDBMS is that if you need speed or any

by dliff 6y ago
In the past I used recursive CTEs in Postgres to calculate the BOM of a product. Products consisted of "parts", and each "part" had a cost and could consist of any number of other "parts" (subassemblies). This

Returning from Singapore I was asked if I had any "rare feathers"... I said no but was still taken aside and searched.

I worked for Best Buy (Geek Squad) as well, about 12 years ago. I had the same experience. Even if they were going to pay me for the time, it felt wrong that they told me I was not able to leave. At times you could be waiting for 15 minutes

If you're on desktop Safari, the only way to select the maximum 2 years option is to resize the window vertically (smaller) until the dropdown becomes a drop-up.

The SDK is crashing. It's likely crashing because the service changed, but it's causing actual crashes on iOS and Android devices which rely on the SDK.

I experienced this long before I ever saw it on the internet. For me it's especially bad if there is a hole and something small is stuck in it. Even as I type this I remember a specific object I used to see often and I feel my face flu

Gatekeeping may not be the best word, and I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. OP is not merely pointing out a deficiency: they are suggesting that there is a decline in software quality because of these non-CS people enterin

Yes, clearly I am not advocating that anyone of any experience should be allowed to do any job. OP is positing that there is a decline in software quality because of developers who don't know those CS concepts. I don't agree. If

by dliff 7y ago
No, I don't think the quality has gone down. I think this outlook is a way of gatekeeping engineers who don't have a formal CS background. I happen to be one of them. Most people who go to a bootcamp (I did not, but have hired a d

I believe this was my first time learning to compile a C++ project. This was 13 years ago; I was 14 years old. Great memories playing with others, chatting, building maps.

I have used Postgres with both Django and Flask quite a bit now. Since you're probably used to dealing with and migrating your tables manually, I would keep custom SQL for all your complex operations, and use SQLAlchemy for doing basic
