Exactly. Also I am pretty sure that every few months will someone find more appropriate symbol for each tag.

It is not only about the adds. Even if you pay, they will still spy on you and sell/use this data to show you adds somewhere else on the internet. I will start paying only if they treat me as customer and not as product.

I prefer to fix bugs before they hit production. It is almost impossible to do that without tests. Also testable code is usually much more readable than untestable god objects, tightly coupled modules and spagetti code.

No, first question I would have: Why are you talking so much about your education? It feels like profile from a guy who just finished school. I do not thing that education is that important in startups or business generally.

Did the same thing on work email and found only messages from gitlab. But only 10% of those messages were marked as spam the others were in inbox so I did not notice. This convinced me not to trust gmail antispam.

But that is just one one electron app. Imagine that every desktop app you use is written in electron. I am pretty sure that even 32GB workstation would be stretched to the limits.

Because it is not used by runtime. Mypy is just linter which adds additional restrictions on code which are not enforced by interpreter. You can have false positives so correct python code must be fixed to pass linter checks. In my opinion

I do not understand what people like about vscode. If I ignore insane resource consumption this is at most average IDE (the only real benefit over sublime "text editor" is integrated debugger). This is most preferred editor at wor

I tried to use type hints but I do not see enough value in them to justify making code more complex. It looks to me that they are similar to hungarian notation as they make refactoring harder but they are not reliable and does provide littl

Recently started working on Typescript project and it looks to me like java with really poor tooling, C++ like compilation times and huge mess in libraries (i.e. how to determine which version of @types package I need). I think that Typescr

If you do that you will probably hurt your productivity. There still will possible errors made by using 3rd party code. In my opinion optional type checking is not comparable to statically typed language guaranties. So if I do not need type

Only if they are correct. I am pretty sure that in old code base it will not be correct unless automatically checked before commit.

That's not true. From my experience unit tests are great for agile. It will allow you to create "trusted" modules which you can move around and rework much easier (you can also treat your tests as executable documentation). W

It was the same for me. I was scared that I would be dependent on drugs for the rest of my life. So I avoided doctor and cured myself with some kind of "psychoterapy" and change of lifestyle. When I felt really down I smoked marij

Actually I really do not like VSC resource consumption and performance. It feels more like eclipse than text editor but it does not offer as many features. If I want something fast and lightweight I reach for vim or sublime. But I do not ca

I worked on real program developed this way. It was Android/iOS tablet application with large part done in C++. C++ part was somehow generated from Java prototype and development was than outsourced to India. Those guys probably never

I am C++ programmer so maybe it is different but from my experience projects with only integration tests are nightmare. 1. Integration tests let you know that something is wrong but they are mostly useless for locating bug in larger code ba

I agree. But I reacted on comments disqusing if this algorithm is capable of doing more than targeting ads to make them cost effective.

I had one incident which convinced me that their algorithm is easily fooled even by single misclick. I hate ads propagating alcohol so I always report them to FB. Once I misclicked and instead of reporting it I opened linked article. Based

You can successfully use this approach only if you do not have external dependencies. If you use some library you have basically the same problem as multirepos. I worked in companies with monorepo and it work really well. Except all externa

As I understand it, difference is more political than technical. GCC is made to prevent people plug in nonfree parts into compiler. So you cannot plug in your dynamic library or use part of GCC as library which is artificial restriction. Se

I agree that C++ is bad but I actually find C much worse for projects bigger than a few thousands of lines. Reasons for this: * lack of namespaces - all names with long prefix look the same to me * just text based macros * no generics * err

I feel that problem is educational system. At least in my country it is optimized for grading what children know but it fails badly to teach or motivate them. So children are forced to learn it by themselves or find someone to help and it i

I worked on huge old codebase. Mostly int return values were used as error indicator. But there were at least 3 non-compatible error enums (OK/ERR, PROCESSED/UNKNOWN/ERR, 1/0). Those enums partially used the same int val

I do not think that someone wants to use C++11/14 to make app prototype. There are a lot more languages now which in my opinion are better suited to prototyping than languages mentioned in article. Most of people will use Python, JS or

What is even worse that those guys are not able to use C++ properly. They created function with more than 1000 lines with so many branches! It will be almost impossible to write test which tries all code paths. I do not think that changing

When I read those posts I am really happy not to live in US. I am struggling to work even 40 hours week since my junior days (my typical week would be 35 - 37h). When I feel drained I just go home and don't sit in the office doing noth
