I’m looking for a website where I can practice SQL by doing challenges. Like something where it provides you with some tables and you’re tasked with writing a script to achieve a certain output. I know how to do basic SELECT and UPDATE commands and stuff, but I need a way to practice writing more complex scripts. What do you...
I had a job once that issued me a Nokia Windows phone and I was stunned by how much I actually sort of enjoyed the experience. Granted all I did was check emails, ACK alerts and message coworkers on it, so admittedly a very intentionally on my part pared down user experience. Sadly Windows phone didn’t last long enough to figure out if that was the result of Microsoft, or the result of Nokia.
To give some context, I’m a developer myself and once I had a conversation with someone who has not “tasted” programming, but was wondering about passion and career. I was asked what I like about programming. My answer was that my interest in it came from writing small scripts when I was young to automate things....
I’m not staking out the position that one is objectively better than the other by saying any of this:
I recently adopted neovim and I think it’s going to be very hard to make me leave it. On the one hand, I love some of the vscode extensions I’ve got going, on the other hand, neovim + lazygit somehow just invokes the flow_state() much quicker-at least purely from the standpoint of being in an editor.
An associate developer foolishly joked about senior developers never being able to spend time actually coding. As a senior developer myself, I took offense to that and decided to waste the last 30 min of my day typing up my previous day....
I recently re-read the book and had a similarly traumatic episode from all the managers over my career that read the book and somehow took the wrong lessons from the dysfunction portrayed.
The other common problem is a non-Manager - a “manager” who doesn’t talk to you and doesn’t know much about what you’re working on. They just want to check a dashboard, see all green lights, report to their managers that the light is green, and collect their pay check.
I know this person. They were a manager. They were my last manager. Thank the compiler I got moved to a different team when the org realized said manager had no idea what they were doing, shuffled some seats around and removed this manager from the company.
None of your objections so far have come close to resembling good faith rebuttals. Or even good ones.
We have eyes, we’ve read the tweet, we (I would hope) know what invoking rm -rf / does. Presumably the context alone there and reading the room here should be enough to clue one in why one would find it specifically cringeworthy (even if I would probably use a tamer way to describe it-personally), and why perhaps one would in the exact same vein just find things funny for different reasons, or just find different things funny altogether. How is it hypocritical to acknowledge the humor in a joke while pointing out that the same joke carries an uncomfortable truth to it? Sometimes those are the best jokes (best of course being subjective)
Of course, I got the joke straight away and merely chuckled. Not necessarily my brand of humor, but hey, you buy the premise, you’ve bought the bit.
A good while back I read a paper, blog post…I read something somewhere a while back that laid out an interesting use case involving vehicular service records for fleet vehicles. And I know exactly about as much about blockchain then, as I do now, but I did spend some time in fleet logistics for a large scale service company with about 20+ field vans and at the time, the notion seemed compelling and interesting on the face of it.
After a very brief google, it seems the topic has been widely written about but nothing in depth compared to the piece I read all those years ago (which felt more like a full on white-paper). Looking around and will edit the comment if I find it so the people in the room who are smarter than I am can weigh in.
I hate that when I want to automate something thats super easy in the GUI and it takes AGES because there is no equivalent to what I’m doing in the GUI
I think where you messed up is trying to date other CS majors. True love comes from dating the Comparative Lit majors. And when that doesn’t work, accounting.
