I mean, it’s hard to keep up with stacks you don’t work with. When I tell people what stack I use, I still get “Oh, Microsoft’s Java”

I think by this time, the Wii had already been out for a bit, which for the record, could play GameCube games.

I’ll try it out later and report back!

A different provider would probably work. Unsure about the other ones here. I believe root is required to disable Sim Toolkit pop-ups or notifications.

The Conundrum Of The Workshops by Rudyard Kipling

Ignoring my previous beef with PVS-Studio and the crappy AI-generated image…

I think the post is not entirely on the wrong track — dependencies can get pretty ridiculous, but some of the points he (or the AI?) makes are bizarre. I mean, recommending WinAPI over something “non-portable”? I guess there’s always Wine, but I am genuinely curious about what crappy libraries he’s using that are less portable than WinAPI. Also, you could argue most of the points he makes apply to code whether it’s a library or not (for example, compiler compatibility and vulnerability patching). The best point he makes is the one about potential license changes, but even then, the example he gives is softfloat, which went from a hand-written permissive license to BSD, which if anything, made it more permissive.

My best guess is either it’s a crappy AI-written article or his points only apply to whatever niche he specializes in.

So they used a distributed cache for a library that didn’t need to be distributed, switched, and then profiled it for fun? It sounds like they might not even need SQLite, it could be accomplished in a few data structures.

So, to start off, I’m someone who does not typically perform well during interviews because of anxiety (but through some miracle has had no issues with employment), so take this response with whatever bias that brings.

I believe this is bad too. You’re still essentially asking a gotcha question, expecting one phrase in your answer and failing the candidate if you don’t hear that phrase. And, in fact, I disagree with the premise. I think the question is defined quite well in the context of programming, given that someone answers with the possibility that there are many ways to hash something and many uses of hashing.

Don’t want to get the project owner in trouble, but I think there is room for simply moving the project’s jurisdiction, changing hands, and renaming the project.

Honestly, is anyone of value still on Twitter? Everyone I known has left. I don’t think I’ve ever needed to view something on there in the past few years.

My cynical opinion is that middle management are very good salesmen at convincing their bosses of their worth, and engineers are not. Lies are worth more than reality to upper management.
