I got a keyboard.io when they first came out. On staggered layouts i was >85 wpm. But switching to ortholinear knocked me down to 25 wpm with excessive errors. It took several months before I got back up to about 60wpm. I stayed at that

In database design typically it recommends giving out opaque natural keys, and keeping your monotonically increasing integer IDs secret and used internally.

On cars without the arrow they often follow the convention where the gas filler handle is depicted on the same side of the gas icon as the filler door is in the car.

Calling it the largest electric ship seems wrong or at least requires extra specificity compared to nuclear aircraft carriers.

I feel like this misses the biggest advantage of Result in rust. You must do something with it. Even if you want to ignore the error with unwrap() what you're really saying is "panic on errors". But in go you can just _err an

Independent thought and personal accountability are sadly lacking in the US. "I see a bunch of unreturned carts. I must follow and fit it. See im justified in not returning it." :-(

Isn't senior leadership choosing languages or core technology, doing things wrong? Shouldn't senior leadership focus on outlining the business opportunities, value case, and requirements for their solution?

Excellent write up and great real world review. You mentioned wanting to become a generalist. The missing applet for tuxedo-rs would be a great opportunity to "scratch an itch" and learn some new technology. You have some options

Even today in my day job I still spend 90% of my time in a No Machine NX session to a remote linux desktop where I do my work. We do it as an extreme form of access control. Our workstations cannot reach any of our systems. Thus if a laptop

I think a lot of this distinction comes down to individual vs group focus. Being good at your own work makes you useful. However being strategic, thinking about the bigger picture, AND being able to effectively communicate that while naviga

Simple: information is power. Why else would so many go so far to control it. Also librarians are some of the most overeducated and underpaid people out there. Thank you for what you do.

I'm a bit surprised that they don't use the name "type state". Perhaps it wasn't in wide use when this post was originally written? The important ideas here are that each state is moved in to the method that transit

I first heard the term from my ex-wife when she was involved with black politics in Chicago in 2014. At that time their definition was firmly in the "awareness of racial and social injustice". It was seemingly later twisted to mea

Certainly jobs will say they require a college degree. I have three and a half years of a five year degree in computer engineering. My current job as a VP of Engineering "requires" a degree. The language in the job description is

The problem is that their leadership may not care. Bureaucrats at higher education don't take the job because they're good at it. They take it because they're not and want a job with high job security. The poor pay and unrewa

Their response on face value doesn't make sense. But if I had to guess, you inadvertently made someone in the registrar's office look bad. They probably had to answer to "why didn't you think of this?" If that is th
