Neat! How did you find out (and when) .codes was going to be released?

This looks super cool! I just tried it out and am having a hard time following the README. > The blue circle shows your breathing control What does this mean? What should I be looking at? What should I be aiming for with HRV?

Using setups like this is a great way to get into neovim. Over time you'll start tweaking it and then realize you can just read the source code and implement your own version. That's what my journey over the past ~8 months has bee

How did this work exactly? Twilio would answer the call, listen for a number, and "press" 9 if the number was in an allow list?

CDC is slightly different; it depends what type of events you are interested in. This is a pretty good read: https://debezium.io/blog/2020/02/10/event-sourcing-vs-cdc .

Since most people responding here have some sort of technical job, what sort of stuff are you working on? All of the bootcamps I'm aware of focus on web development. Do you still do strictly web stuff? Frontend or backend? Anything els

Good point

Most people here (including myself) will have the same feeling. Would be great if it was open source.

I really want to use VSCode, but the one HUGE thing holding me back is lack of a hot key to show/hide VSCode. I use iTerm and am used to opening/closing it with Ctrl + `. Having to use Cmd + Tab and then making sure I actually cho

I tried switching to VSCode earlier this week and am really having a hard time with it. I'm coming from iterm/vim/tmux. The most painful part has been the lack of a hot key to bring up VSCode. Besides that, I've found th

Exactly. When I was in high school, two other classmates and I would go to our English teacher's class during homeroom for SAT prep. We did this for 10 minutes a day for maybe a month. Outside of that, the only prep I did was studying

I tend to place engineers in one of two buckets-- those who make tools and those who use the tools. Most people fall into the latter bucket and can get by without hardcore CS knowledge.

The small message results from only storing message, channel, and server ids as opposed to the entire message. How efficient is ES at storing the rest of the message data in the inverted index? No clue, but apparently pretty good.

Got it. I was under the impression that all messages were lazily indexed. After reading the article again it's pretty clear that's not the case. Thanks for the clarification.

by stickperson 10y ago
Oh, I think I get it now-- is it that the _initial_ indexing is lazy, but all indexing after that is done automatically by the historical index workers? Basically when a user searches for something do you check that ES has something for tha

I really enjoy Discord's blog. Their Cassandra write up was excellent as well. A couple of thoughts and questions: - Having many clusters and assigning messages to a specific cluster seems like an interesting solution. - I'm curio

A classmate and I did a bit of contract work for a company. We built out some widgets for a dashboard with d3.

Sometimes accepting a shitty job just to get started is the only option. You do what you have to do though.

I think it might be a bit unfair. Don't get me wrong, I have seen people who had the mentality of "I'll just go to a bootcamp and start making good money." There are definitely others who, as others have said, used bootc

That's simply not true. Plenty of students have had success after bootcamps.

I did one back in 2013 and went in with very minimal experience-- I could write simple loops in python but had no idea how to actually build something. At the time I wasn't even sure if that's what I wanted to do for a living. I k

Grouping of sub-dependency groups (e.g. a testing group). That seems like an improvement over having multiple requirement files. Then again, I'm perfectly happy with separate dev/testing files.

Autocomplete is another good example. Instead of having my autocomplete API call go through the whole dispatch -> reducer flow, I just update my component's state when I get a response.

Yea. I think that's called the NOR chip.
