Do we know if the test button also includes a confirmation dialog? In that case, the two actions are pretty much indistinguishable. Good UX would eliminate any mindless clicking, for example: * signif…

Now you're promoting "who you know", which is irresponsible as it can pass up many qualified candidates who don't happen to be in the same circles as you. Does "trusted networ…

Science cannot disprove supernatural events/contradict supernatural beliefs because you cannot prove a negative. The burden is on the supporters of the supernatural events/beliefs to provide…

The proper follow-through is to file a complaint with the postmaster general for your area, they take it fairly seriously. They carrier is literally refusing to do their job.

USPS has weight limits, their carriers are trained to deliver anything within those weight limits. If they can't deliver an item that meets their own USPS requirements then that's their own …

Let's assume you have 3 engineers, one 10x and two 1x, their total output is: 10x + 1x + 1x = 12x Now you convert that 10x engineer into a 10x multiplier, and let's assume he doesn't ac…

Those "workhorses" negatively contribute to your bus factor[1], they're a risk that needs to be eliminated. That doesn't mean you have to eliminate the workhorses, but you need to …

Similarly, learn how to be a "force multiplier". Don't be the 10x engineer, but instead be the 10x multiplier. How do you increase the quality & output of your entire team/org&…

He writes about network of connections, 1st, 2nd, 3rd degree and so on being lost when you change companies, but that is incorrect. Enough people I know and respect have moved on to other companies th…

Where I live (Seattle) we've passed minimum wage law increases ($15, on a 7yr schedule) that has already resulted in many restaurants adding an automatic & non-optional 20% gratuity to checks…

I'm an avid Instacart user, and I refuse to pay the service fee, nor the tip. Companies need to pay the drivers fair wages, and charge the customers enough to do so. Don't push that responsi…

A good editor can automatically fix <hN> values if needed. But if you're writing an html page, you should already know what you're writing (outline, editing, review, etc). How often ar…

The article presents a blatant strawman argument against Python 3's language by using advanced language features to claim it's no longer simple nor suitable for beginners. Just don't us…

You comment describes exactly why this is so amazing - the autopilot executes the same as a competent driver! It's magic because it's the first time in human history that we've had su…

"I don't want to get blocked from doing my work because you've gone dark on slack." That's poor project/task management if your whole day grinds to a halt because of a si…

The WTF is not about the quality of code, it's that the engineer offered w/o asking the company's IP & secrets and didn't think there was anything wrong it. It's a frighte…

Then it's not secure. Security is about the whole system, not just the crypto algo being used. It's defense in depth, not security through obscurity.

That's because workers in tech make more than workers in most occupations. When you hire an intern, you pay them almost-entry-level rates because they are doing almost-entry-level work. Interns a…

That's what code formatting tools (cncrustify, clang-format, etc) were built to fix - let the computer have perfect and consistent formatting, you just need to record your intention.

NO. That is not more readable, and is warned against in most style guides and code-quality books. In the original, at a glance I know exactly what is going on. In your version, I have to read the whol…

Java and Python are apples and oranges - one is a compiled language, the other is interpreted. Better to look at other interpreted languages like Ruby & Perl...and they have the same issue. It…

Where 'strict' == 'unit tested', then I agree with you. You don't need strong typing to make good code.

You can write crappy code in any language. I have seen large, easily maintained systems written in Perl, and I have seen horrible little tools written in Java. There's nothing specific to Python.

Most ppl are trying to solve problems/get work done, not learn how to re-implement functionality already available in libraries. Copy & pasting the API docs lets you focus on solving much har…
