I think Java may be a good language, specially the more modern revisions of it. The main problem it has is that the industry as a whole refuses to adopt it. There may be cases of fast adopters of modern Java but they’re the odd ones. Whenever I see a jd for a Java developer is

Lud if she casually mentioned it, I would bet it means she read it all. And if that’s the case, you are winning this. Best scenario she only knows you mentioned it. Worst scenario she was in one of spaces about her. Either way things are going well aren’t they?

I wish for the day I see a 15mm thick iPhone with better battery life life and no camera bump. With receded cameras and screen so it can lay flat without scratches.

I want: a black aluminum unibody laptop with a decent choc mech keyboard, that also has a gigantic glass trackpad but also a track point, and has rough edges like a thinkpad but it also runs both Mac OS and Linux distros…. I can dream

I’m trying to wrap my head around the non-ascii characters part… is this something related to how the path per user app data was being processed? I feel I can’t put the dots together.

I practiced solving Rubik’s cubes for around 3 years every single day, at least 10 times avg12 plus the solves when not practicing. Only the practices were about 131400 solves.
Does that really work? Does it work in reverse or asking for less followers would actually decrement your follower count? What if I just want meaningful interactions? Can I get those by just asking?

I will 1up you with: “what is a vlan?” While talking to the it guy of a small company. This happened while in a room full of the Cisco switches they used.
Ok… so the key to have engagement in x is the same as the one for having job security just speak Java. 😭 of all my posts why is that the one that reaches out.
@olson_dan
Depends on the domain, i would say most of it is abstracted in domains that do not interact with network and files directly. (at byte level) I found about it properly thanks to hl7 and dicom over networks.

I’ve tried them, I just never understood the appeal. And the experience with people that do them all the time is that they’re the ones to just exist, they can’t stand to actually think and they numb themselves.
I’m:
- disappointed at my google skills
- proud of the design I came up with
- worried about being accused of plagiarism
Long story short:
I was unable to find an existing tool to do what I wanted to do.
I wrote a design and spec for making such tool.
A coworker pointed out
I keep seeing posts telling people "you don't need math for programming".
This is a lie… the fact that people say this instead of telling you "you are already doing math!" helps perpetuate the idea that math is difficult(it is not) and that math is not for everyone(it is). ⅙
I’ve shipped code for Java services, Spotify’s C++ core layer, The League of Legend’s C++ proxy layer, a smidge of Swift, and a metric ton of web dev.
I use almost no math, but I’d be happy to as a Mathematics minor from college 🤷♂️

Blinking tests are the worst. You tested your changes. But suddenly something on the other end of the repo is failing… why? God knows. And when you decide to fix it you’re welcomed by the pm saying: “that wasn’t in the scope for the sprint. Pls focus on the assigned tasks” 🙃🐾

I received a job offer from one of those nearshore/team augmentation companies. The project is with an actual company I would like to work for… should I try to skip the middleman and contact the company directly?
Ok… I’m new to daily driving x. Whenever I have an idea I want to post, but I want to elaborate more than just the initial thought, I jot it down and add it to a draft. I opened my drafts and there is none 🥲. Are drafts in device? stored locally? Will find out when I’m home.
Next time I overhear a question like “does programming need math?” I really hope for the answer to be something like “yeah but you won’t notice it” instead of “no”.
@EsotericCofe
Covid fucked me up, I'm pretty sure I lost some IQ thanks to the high fever. and since my ability to bring short term working memory into long term memory has become an act of repetition. before it was just happening.
But it is disingenuous to keep saying is not needed. It makes it unapproachable for the average person if we keep saying is not used/needed.
Instead of trying to make development more approachable by removing math we need to let people know that math is not a barrier. ⁶⁄₆
The list could continue, but I hope I made my point across.
I think people say "I don't need math" because they're unaware they are using it.
We have strong intuition in many branches of math; And is ok not to study them directly, after all programming is applied math. ⅚
Didthe algo changed somehow? I went away for the weekend and I think I’ve never seen so many notifications of new followers at once(for a lowbie account like mine), it feels out of place.
TIL the existance of this tool called the compiler explorer. This motivates me to understand assembly and see the differences from implementation to implementation.
While trying to fit the contents of my thoughts on 280 character I’m realizing that when I remove words from them to make them fit, they don’t make as much sense to other people as they do for me.
Never thought this would be a problem, I passed an interview as a solution architect, but because the company has a branch in my country accepting the job would mean my taxes would double and all the taxes I’ve paid this year wouldn’t count like at all… it feels like a joke.
Hmmm I would love to be able to record my pupils while performing several different tasks and determine in my specific case which ones are effortless and which ones are handled effortfully.

In one of the apps I worked the jss of that was literally wired to nothing. All tokens resulting from the auth had exactly the same validity period.
Decided to read and make sense of the official documentation of the languages I love and I like to work with. I may need a printer, because I like to use actual paper to read.

Cs education manages to not teach this, and somehow focuses on oop, and really important classes students just don’t pay attention to them. Most people don’t even want to know what’s underneath their JavaScript 🥲they just want to be the next startup unicorn.🦄

I’m interested, what do you mean by that? Native speakers from any language usually get most of their grammatical forms from repetition and implicit learning instead of explicitly declaring the grammatical rules of the language. And also most people that correctly learn different
I like it and dislike it. In a professional setting, yes please, let’s be thoughtful of our communication. In an informal/personal setting, if someone ever does this to me, I’ll just stop all interactions with that person.
After 5 years had my first presentation, it was an online presentation. I don’t remember ever being so nervous about something like it and I’ve presented in front of probably 10 times the audience I had today. I was looking at the recording and I had a tic! In my cheek! 🥲

Welp, the computer didn’t fail, we instructed it to error on certain condition, and welp, we managed to give the computer the conditions to error. It is doing its job, which was to give you an error.
Wtf! Drafts are platform dependent in x! Not locally stored. Drafts you make in the web app are saved in their servers but are not accessible thru the iOS App. wtf? I need an android user to confirm this behavior. (I can’t do anything about it but it’s bugging me)
Advice to every aspiring software engineer (and hopefully something that every computer scientist is doing): Learn c. Not for you to write, there are better langs for that(zig/odin), but to read. Be comfortable reading low level langs and know their idioms.
Math is not(only) about crunching numbers. If you're saying programmers don't need math because you rarely use numbers or arithmetic or polynomials you're leaving most of what math encompasses out your definition. ²⁄₆
Tfw your brain reminds you of a random embarrassing moment. I just remembered few years ago I was supposed to give a small presentation on using scratch containers for some of our web services in go. The idea was to demonstrate how much bandwidth we were able to save by using an

There is a threshold of moisture for different individuals, mine is quite low. I let myself drain a bit still inside the shower before finishing drying with the towel.
Math in programming is not about complex equations but rather about how to think about problems abstractly in whatever programming paradigm you selected(some of them make more obvious we are dealing with math than others). ³⁄₆
Every time you write an if-else, you're doing logic, quite an important part of math.
Dealing with arrays, lists, or objects in your code? This is called set theory.

Only the lenses, aluminum surrounding the lenses and great part of the camera bum can still be scratched. Plus I just want it to be able to lay flat. The additional perceived (emphasis in perceived) sense of protection for the cameras is just a plus.
