This is also me. I was a double CS and Math major in university and one of my favorite classes as a young lad was combinatorics and probability.. 25 years ago.. It's true, if you don't activate this area of your brain often, it&#x

Not to say it isn't useful to a CS education, but the only time I've ever ran into the well-ordering principle was to establish the foundation for mathematical induction proofs. Students usually learn this in discrete math for CS

It's so easy to bait me with this nostalgia. There is something mysterious and enjoyable about dialing-in or connecting to a server in the unknown. During those days, many things were not easily discoverable which added to the fun. For

Hate to comment on the medium or writing style instead of the content but you're not alone. I understand the terms in the article in isolation or used in other fields, but it seems like the author is using a lot of technical metaphors.

As a dev who only really uses the read-only version of Figma for the most part, I really like what they do. I can't speak for designers but having the Figma diagrams match the libraries and the design system we use is very very nice. n

I suppose in the description of "large corp" and service mesh, Someone would already exist and this would already have been worked out. It would be a nightmare dealing with hundreds of microservices without this kind of game plan.

Curious to learn more about why it is difficult to debug. I'm not familiar with service mesh. I also work at a large corp, but we use gateways and most things are event driven with kafka across domain boundaries. I spend most of my tim

"I was young, naive, and plagued by impostor syndrome. I held back instead of exploring more, engaging more deeply, and seeking out more challenges. I allowed myself to be carried along by the current, rather than actively charting my

Same here! I was also a teenager in the mid-90s. And I was amazed by IRCd server code and bots. I bought a used copy of the book Slackware Linux unleashed w/CD-ROM and it had some networking code examples in C. I found Beej's Netw

It seems that Arizona is #3 for the total number of for-profit prisoners. There may be untapped potential for slave labor and finding creative ways to imprison Americans here. Stat: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1

This really triggered a lot of old memories from my early career. I started off as the 7th employee - as a Jr dev in a startup that eventually grew to 100+ and felt like an outsider for years. At some point I became a "senior" dev

Your experience almost exactly mirrors my own. I moved from Boston to the Midwest USA in 2016 and kept working remotely until a RIF in 2019. I found a local job that did require a commute but a few months later, we all became remote. In bet

As a developer that still uses YUI on multiple production applications, I've never felt that my front-end skills were stagnating due to its usage. The same goes for ExtJs, which I have used heavily in the past. Both libraries allow you

I work in Liferay Portal and AUI, which is a fork of YUI. Liferay will probably be impacted greatly by this. My company has done a few large scale Enterprise application implementations in recent years and continue to do more Liferay work (

To change it up a little bit, has anyone here been asked simple debugging questions? I've interviewed at numerous places and I've never been asked the question why a certain piece of code is breaking or how to fix it. The questions could be

I ran into the same issue with vim in a terminal. I decided to give gVim a try and I really like it. I used to use the sp and vs commands but now find myself using the tabbed windows in gvim. Try typing :tabnew for a new tab and gt for cycl
