At work, whoever designed our setup put the staging and dev environments on the same domain and the entire massive company has adopted this pattern. What a colossal mistake.

There is a reason why newer companies and younger people tend to make bigger changes… It’s not a conspiracy. It’s not because they can’t. It’s because all that they have built up from hard work has resulted in responsibilities to a lot of p

I think this related to the “critical thinking” skill that all my teachers always stressed about growing up. But I still don’t know how to put in useful words what “critical thinking” is because it’s not one thing. It requires synthesizing

Java has a great ecosystem. It’s well thought out and I can compile and run 10 year old projects no problem. In fact, I wish everyone had just copied Java’s model instead of inventing their own worse model. I love Python but it has a terrib

Then sign a contract with Akamai, who has been in business for 25 years? You outsource if you aren’t planning to do something very often. There is no middle ground where you commit a mediocre amount of resources, end up with downtime and a

I see people take photos on the train tracks all the time and trains are pretty silent. There would be a lot more dead.

Sure but that’s why your edge servers do request collapsing. And there are full blown CDN companies that will write an enterprise contract with you that can do this stuff with ease. Akamai is like 25 years old now. Scale has increased but t

Static files have been pretty much the standard streaming protocols for both VOD and live for the last 15 years ago. Before, it was Adobe Flash (RTMP). With the way that they are designed, you can even use a regular CDN.

While I am not ready to recommend that everyone install Traefik, this is false. You can get a single node Docker “cluster” going with Traefik in 15 seconds. There is no maintenance except updating occasionally. It doesn’t use much more reso

You’re changing the goal post. Your original post was saying that you don’t need to know fundamentals. It was not about whether AI is useful or not.

by treflop 2y ago
Wait until AI prints out something that doesn't work and you can't figure out how to fix it because you don't know how it works so you do trial and error for 3 hours. The difference is that you can trust a good calculator. Yo

Being persuasive means understanding that there are a million more dimensions to communication than just “nice vs. assertive.” After reading OP’s article, I did not even feel “I want to like a Facebook post in support.”

Because innovation tends to come from younger people who have bright ideas, or want to make a name for themselves, or simply because they have free time. You also need other people to work with, so even if you have an idea, it’s much easier

I think the author’s tone in the article causes more damage to the cause than good. Even if you are right, you don’t ever win the hearts and minds of anyone when your argument comes off as entitled or deserving. The mockery that OP refers t

I’ve been to Japan many times now and have sampled a lot of konbini food and have come to realize that a lot of it is just as junky as the food you can find at 7-11 here. The initial novelty was that it was Japanese junk food. Don’t get me

I think it's population decline. It's extremely severe in Japan. Percentage aged 15-64 is now nearing 1950 levels. And it's only going to get even worse. 12% are young kids today. In 1950, it was over 35%.

A little of both. I understand getting a warm fuzzy feeling that you did the right things, but if you don't achieve your goal, what's the point? But let me clarify -- OP mentioned a contrast between consequentialism and virtual et

I don't think this is limited to security. I have friends who are very scary drivers but insist on backseat driving and telling you about best driving practices, and coworkers who are insistent on implementing excessive procedures at w

Something that has worked for me, and I don’t know how to describe it any other way, is that some projects have “style.” Like I thought Docker, React, jQuery were actually cool when they came out. Elegant, pretty, fun to use and I could see

Video consists of many frames and you have to apply the same but slightly different transformations to each frame. Building a pipeline (via nodes or not) to describe these repeated changes is worth the extra effort. Outside of batch jobs, i

A lot of people’s personal sites are still like this. The trend never really bucked for that. Although it’s more the websites for designers and artists rather than developers. There are also websites that showcase these types of websites, a

This website can be written with vanilla JS, HTML and CSS on any framework or in a raw HTML file. If this was still 2004, you could have gone to DyanmicDrive.com and stolen some sample code. https://web.archive.org/web/

Neoliberals believe in free market and deregulation, not market restrictions. Nixon was the one that started the war on drugs and also enacted price controls. I would not call him a neoliberal. He also primarily interested in foreign policy

I just know people who say things similar to OP who lament that live music is dead but they never go out or do anything when you ask them to go. Their anecdotal experience is more a reflection of their own preferences. The venues in my subu

Sure, but having additional responsibilities when you have a family is not a new phenomenon created in the last 30 years.

I live in a small suburban US town and I’ve seen live music 6 times in the past 2 weeks? I go dancing regularly?? I have three tickets next week to see <$30 bands. I can’t relate to any of this.
