That’s up to each individual developer’s own setup. But hooks are a way to ensure uniformity since they apply to all commits.

I’m sure my company’s policies are nothing special and lots of companies have similar policies. I’m not allowed to do anything work related on my personal devices, only on the company issued and managed laptop and only through the company VPN. I’m also not allowed to discuss internal information on whatever app I want, just on company approved software, which is managed by the company’s IT team. All software or other type of 3rd party used in the company has to first go through infosec approval.

This is a standard tech company not working on anything particularly sensitive for anyone other than potential competition and maybe shareholders. Definitely not anything involving national security.

So no, not relatable. This is how people get fired.

If there’s a linter with such opinionated rules there should also be a pre-commit hook that auto-formats accordingly.

I zoomed in to read what they’re saying on the bottom right and was disappointed.

It make sense for a wrapper layer to do this and I had to fight against APIs that didn’t. If I make a single HTTP call that wraps multiple independent API calls into one, then the overall HTTP code should reflect status of the wrapper service, and the individual responses should each have their own code as returned by the underlying services.

For example on one app we needed to get user names by user id for a bunch of users. To optimize this, we batched calls into groups. The API would fail with an error code if one of the user ids in the batch was bad or couldn’t be found. That meant we wouldn’t be getting data for any of the users in the batch and we didn’t know which userId was bad either. Such a call should return 200 for the overall call and individual result for each id, some of which could be errors.

Romanian living in the US. I call clătite “crepes” and American pancakes “pancakes”. That way everyone knows what I’m talking about.

Also, don’t call plăcintă “pie”, or you’re setting people up for disappointment (it doesn’t matter that it’s good, their brain was ready for pie and got something else).

Sawyer started writing games in Z80 assembly. Assembly language was definitely something you would use to program games back in those days.

None of these points make any sense to me when I think about the pre-reddit internet. There were all kinds of communities everywhere on various forums across the internet. Some forums discussed specific topics, some very niche, other forums were for more general discussions. But hosting and setting up a forum was not always the easiest thing. So when reddit came, subreddits eventually replaced forums. Easy to set up, easy to discover, everything in one place.

Now the fediverse is to me pretty much like going back to the old forums, but a bit more organized. And all of the points in this article could have been made about forums if you decided to analyze forums as one big thing. But in the end, none of it has been a problem (and there are still some forums around today).

Can Zoom handle 50,000 participants?

Other Uncle David?

I see 41 fire fatalities in that image. Out of 2.2M, that’s 1.86 fatalities per 100k units. Still much lower than 14.52 for the Cybertruck.

We don’t need to, but I noticed at one point that he’s mostly seeing female leads. We read a bunch of the books in your list, many others we avoided because they’re no longer in line with current times (and they’re not old enough to understand the historical context), and a bunch of them are not for their age yet.

Same for kids books. It’s great for my daughter, but it’s hard to find good movies and books for her younger brother.

It says Times Square. Manhattan is one of the walkable places in the US where carrying groceries is actually something you can see.

“Care e diferența dintre un porc și o râmă? Porcul râmă, dar râma nu porc”.

It’s not translatable directly because in Romanian there’s a word for digging with the snout. That word is the same word as the word for earthworm. So it goes like “What’s the difference between a pig and an earthworm? The pig digs (earthworms), but the earthworm doesn’t pig.”

In English there’s one very similar in concept: “What is the difference between a fly and a flea? A fly can flee, but a flea can’t fly.”

Same. I grab most of the free games every week, but for actual purchases I still use Steam. If I’m going to spend money on a game then it has to count achievements on my Steam profile.

UX experience

We should shorten that to UXX

Or just go to vger.app, which defaults to lemm.ee but allows you to register and log in with a whole bunch of different instances.

that allow one to throw an object to capture a monster

Like throwing a net to catch a fish?
