Indeed, this seems to be the main, albeit hidden, takeaway from all of this.

I recently became a dad, and right now the only way my 30-day-old will sleep is with the sound of our kitchen range hood, so I built a small one pager that mimics white noise, womb sounds and our range hood. I hope I don't jinx this bu

Can you explain why it makes a difference what the answers are? When using an open source library assumptions should be: - The code does what it advertises. - The owner is responsible for the functionality. - The owner's reputation is

Stress most times doesn't reveal itself like that. What you're describing is short term excitement and perhaps anxiety. Stress is a silent killer. It's basically being mostly unhappy, feeling unfulfilled and trapped. It'

The dual landings for me were far superior. It was straight out of science fiction.

I'm very confused. Grade school problems? Didn't ChatGPT 4 ace the entire curriculum of MIT a while back?

I think you missed the fact that I'm talking relatively (i.e. within a software house as I say) and the quotes around "working class". Still, If we want to be pedantic and literal (i.e. assume I'm talking about the Marxi

I don't work at Reddit but I take personal offense when someone so unfairly criticizes the "working class" of a software house like that (ie the non manager level software engineers). What makes you think that whatever is wro

IntelliJ supports editorconfig just fine. I'm not sure why you were disappointed, editorconfig does not advertise the features you mentioned. For more involved autoformatting you need some kind of tool like gofmt or Prettier for JavaSc

I'm not following, how does memorizing algorithms correlate with intelligence and skill in the engineering discipline of the job?

I'm not following. Clearly the grandparent comment misconstrued the article as to have been written by a male, as did I. They are talking about the author. For what it's worth the url and the author's handle threw me off. &qu

> 1 trillion chances per planet Not meaning to be condescending, that's not how probability works or is expressed. Also, the fact that the ocean "is a large place" says nothing about how probable or not the events to creat

I don't get this point. The probability argued would take this into account. It could be that the probability is _that_ small that even if you keep rolling you don't reach it.

The technique is called "windowing" and it's not extremely hard to implement properly. For react we have react-virtualized and react-window, and I'm sure there are other libraries for different UI frameworks. I'm ru

They meant its API surface, not filesize. React is ridiculously small and simple for what it can do.

Exactly. Most actions in idle game mode (i.e. when there's no active battle, micro or macro to be done) are null, the gamers simply repeat random meaningless keystrokes; this helps with being always alert and ready for anything that re

The answer (in my opinion at least) is that yes `==` should be avoided, if for nothing else then simply because it's totally unnecessary and only adds a mental overhead. I haven't found a use case where it would be necessary, and
