Call me sceptical. That would have been astronomically expensive given the enormous supply chain needed to produce charcoal to get that iron in those times. I am sceptical on how they figured out iron stains are pothole fillings. I think mu

Or the person is sensibly trying to make the code easier for other people to understand. I am tech lead and architect for large financial systems written in Java but have done a bunch of Common Lisp and Clojure projects in the past. I will

How is this unfortunate? Most programmers learn about loops pretty much at the absolute start of their development experience, where they don't yet have a way to talk about recursion. Don't even start about tail recursion or tail

Used something very similar many times in my past without knowing it is formalised as a pattern. For example, one application of this was a long migration project where a large collection of files (some petabytes of data) was to be migrated

It is hard to me to understand how much this revisionist tendency is just a recent invention and to what extent it has been present throughout the history. For the most part, I can see old books on bookshelves are still unedited. But maybe

It is not hilarious, it is actually the correct use of the term. Otherwise, you would have to contend with the fact that "real time" does not exist at all, as information about any event has to necessarily take time to travel to r

There is no single solution this problem. Look at the changes that happened in the past and ask yourself: * which people have been successful regardless of changes that happened? I think almost independently of whatever you do in life, if y

50 PRs with a thousand developers is definitely not healthy situation. It means any developer merges their work very, very rarely (20 days = 4 weeks on average...) and that in my experience means either low productivity (they just produce l

Yes. There are costs to having monoliths. There are also costs to having microservices. My hypothesis is that in most projects, the problems with monoliths are smaller, better understood and easier to address than the problems with microser

by onetimeuse92304 2y ago
Well, technically, you can construct the microservices preserving type safety. You can have an interface with two implementations - on the service provider, the implementation provides the actual functionality, - on the client, the implemen

by onetimeuse92304 2y ago
Oh, it is even worse. The MAIN reason for microservices was that you could have multiple teams work on their services independently from each other. Because coordinating work of multiple teams on a single huge monolithic application is a

Not specifically about event-driven, but the most damaging anti-pattern I would say is microservices. In pretty much all projects I worked with in recent years, people chop up the functionality into small separate services and have the even

What should and what does happen at large companies are completely different things. I worked for a lot of large companies and I can tell you things like this happen every day, usually not out of malice. Corporate behaviour at all scales is

It is the professionals, power users who in the end shift markets. Corporations are nothing else than collections of directors and managers who have their own preferences which definitely influence their decision making. More and more compa

I can see how this can happen at a large corporation. The way companies operate, they usually order somebody (most likely a contractor) to create media. Then pass these to another team that creates website, press materials, etc. A picture i

I have decided a long time ago that Windows is no longer an operating system to do work o. I have one that is relegated to being a game console and its days are numbered, too. There is only so much BS I can take. Microsoft is driving off pr

It does requires realistic collisions. The point is you fly in a small spaceship in an arena, you hide behind obstacles, you shoot with a small variety of weapons and you use your weapons to either shoot the enemy directly or rearrange the

Actually, for the past two years I was using the coding task I got to do when I joined the company. This helps me appreciate how I felt when I have seen it for the first time.

As an amateur EE it is so annoying that they reuse names of already existing ARM chips. ARM Cortex-M4 or simply M4 is quite popular ARM architecture. I am using M0, M3 and M4 chips from ST on a daily basis.

Honestly, as somebody who is hiring senior devs I can't imagine not doing a coding interview. Unfortunately, it is very hard to judge somebody's coding ability in discussion alone. You can sort of get the idea whether they have or

As an amateur sailor, the idea that they discussed wearing lifejackets INSIDE the craft seems completely stupid. One of first things any sailor learns is that you do not wear lifejackets inside the craft. It is not possible to swim through
