If AI continues at this trajectory, sure, likely to the picks and shovels. If AI has a bubble burst, you could see a lot of used hardware flood the market and then companies like WD could have a hard time selling against their previous inve

Headline reads like a hot take. Actual recommendation is rather useful. Click-bait used for good.

Basically this. If companies want people back in the office when they could WFH instead, they're going to have to compensate them, time and costs, for the commute.

Skimmed article mostly. Could things be better? Sure. But saying we're "wasting" all this time seems a little disingenuous. How much time do people spend maintaining tractor equipment to grow crops? Or really any tools of any

While that's an interesting question, legacy students likely also have access to better resources outside of the classroom and office hours.

She is literally a walking biohazard. She got her due process, lost, and then ignored the court order. From the article it sounds like she can still refuse treatment but she can't keep being a risk to the public. Edit: And to your poin

Where do you get that 50% number? Do you mean 50% of all new code in the industry? That seems beyond extremely unlikely.

My first two internships were at an insurance company. Everyone was busy. Not saying your job wasn't what it was but I can't say it's representative of everything outside Silicon Valley.

We have a project that is basically an internal, stripped down version of CodePen and others like it. All code samples are stored in git. The main challenge for something like our app is search. Git is good at creating files and managing ve

Perhaps not depressing but certainly unhelpful. If I'm spend time thinking about other more interesting stuff, I tend to get sucked into those things. Which just means I've got zero focus on stuff I need to get done.

I work on internal UI libraries that we use in our products. We updated our designs maybe 4-ish years ago and we're already getting feedback from customers that our designs look dated.

Unless you paid cash, your bank or credit card company will remember the amount for you. I don't know if most restaurants receipts are going to itemize the bill. But even if most do you can just say you went to one that didn't.

A thought I had recently was to shift from having candidates write code to have them review code. I'm sure it's not an original thought, but it comes with a few advantages. 1. Reading someone else's code is usually harder tha

Some of them look good but some of them are terribly designed. The rankings for testing graph shows storybook visually trending down when it actually increased in satisfaction.

I like the idea of this project. Its main goal is to highlight the bias towards English in programming languages and computer science and I think that's a great goal. I also think another great use would be to provide a stepping stone

I prefer to use the draw password but honestly if you look at the finger smudges on my phone, you could probably still guess my pattern.

Fair point. There is a better way to phrase things if there was no intent. And is evident in this thread, intent doesn't change impact. Having colleagues, that I respect, who work in similar roles I perhaps should have considered this

I think this may be a better way to phrase what I was thinking. It doesn't have to be directly related to revenue. The revenue relation just makes it easier to be counted as core to the business model. I think it's important to sa

I assume the author meant that since those teams will be speaking a lot to people as part of their daily work they add a lot of ambient noise to a workplace. That could matter to some people in open office plans or cube farms where you can&

I don't think the GP intended to call engineers at those kinds of companies lesser. I think the point that was made was that working at companies where the company makes more revenue by having better software is a better company to wor

In my experience, 10K+ rows could even crash a desktop browser.

If by table-ish layouts you mean using the <table> element to render something like this then browsers might be OK at it but the <table> woefully inadequate to do anything more than the most basic table renderings. Virtual scrol

SAS at the Cary, NC headquarters does not use open floor plans. I don't know about other office locations though. Pretty much everyone gets their own office with a door. Only time I've seen people without their own space was inter

It seems logical that more people would apply to jobs that include a salary in the post. I'd be far more interested to know what % of employers are satisfied with their hire if they included the salary or not. Additionally I'd wan

This is a much better example of the point the author was trying to illustrate. Though I'm not sure sure if the HTML / TeX comparison is the best to exemplify the concept. I feel that if a beginner were to make the conceptual mist
