I liked it and got a 7 space 4.

Is this the max score? How can I know? It wants me to login for a reveal… which is unfortunately where I bounced. Maybe I would sign up after a fews days if I got hooked because I found it really annoying when I lost my wordle streak.

Now I feel old, lol

You mean the full internet experience in one window thing like the aol browser? I’m pretty sure I used to use it, light blue thing and hotmail a more seemless integration?

Mildly visible even in London. Better with camera phone but definitely just visible after you let your eyes adjust

I can imagine that if we ever reach a point where the interviewers are prepped with the useless corporate answers to these reversed interview questions, it means we’ve done a great job in pushing to get the right information and gets right to the crux of their issues and possible red flags, one of which might even be a “corporate culture cover up stock answer”. Then surely just a follow up question asking “is that also you personal experience here?” And if you still get a corporate answer then you know for certain it is a red flag. Ultimately it sounds like these sort of questions could work well.

From what I’ve read on Wikipedia, mixxx apparently uses the xwax source code. As does PiDeck. It would be really interesting to know what else uses it.

Xwax is amazing. But what was more amazing to me was that the magic external box with Final Scratch was actually just a sound card and the rest was all software. Dunno if I am over simplifying but it was amazing to see that the time coded record and the software like xwax was all that was actually needed.

This is quite good advice, I feel the “we have to do this anyway” line is more like… “so we might as well make it easy for ourselves”… eg write code that works, you self tested it through tests and manual if needed, so the reviewer doesn’t have to get bogged down in actually running it (start by adding screenshots for this but graduate to not needing them). Keep PRs as small as possible, aka multiple PRs streaming after each other for a single feature card, get the PRs in as soon as valuable and don’t block for nitpics but the shared expectation you start to agree on things that are better and they happen with the next changes.

The general mantra being that “if it works then it shouldn’t be blocked” and developer can choose to improve the maintainability there and then or delay it to next or later PRs at their discretion. After all you trust each other.

That reminds of codebases littered with Todos… where I like to Yoda it… do or do not, there is no todo.

Ah that makes sense now. I nearly said it was like excalidraw, which is really nice for architecture diagrams more than for ui/ux I find.

Perhaps more like Tekton, which was like a classier crisper comic sans

Same here. Never even thought of the fridge or what cold peanut butter would be like. I just can’t imagine it and have never needed to. Weird. In other contexts too I’ve never experienced it. Work breakfasts, hotels, I really can’t ever recall fridge temperature peanut butter. Not to mention the size pots we buy would be annoying.

Why upside down?

Aaaah, remove and the re-add (maybe) makes a bit more sense..

So if it is not in the list you just add it, right? Actually is that right? Won’t the list fill up to the max again at some point like this?

So if so, I add Bernardo. Now the very next word is Bernardo so I remove the last Bernardo and maybe re-add it based on a 50% chance.

I had the same problem with the same paragraph and still don’t quite get it.

Unfortunately I struggle to follow the detailed explanation you gave… since you seem to understand it… can you confirm that they really do mean to throw away the word in the list they just found?

Eg

ACT I SCENE Elsinore A platform before the castle FRANCISCO at his post. Enter to him

If buffer max is 16, I am supposed to randomly half it first?

Act Scene Elisnore Platform Before The His Post

Now what? The next words are “Bernado Bernado who’s there”

In my back garden in london initially it felt like maybe I was just seeing remnants of having looked at a lightbulb and then looking at the sky. After a bit of eyes adjusting the pinks were very clear and the white streaks like rays of light you see in those kind of beams from heaven type pictures. The green was more on the horizon and initially needed the camera to show it at all, and then again after a while I could see feint green with the naked eye. Yes the camera showed it more, but the naked eye experience was also magical and I feel very lucky to have seen it on bbc news website by chance before going to bed. I watched it from 11:15pm to midnight when it seemed to vanish as if it was never there in the first place. I feel like I caught the ISS in a photo too but I can’t find definitive information it was overhead at 11:51pm uk time, so it probably wasn’t.

Until you trust every part of the mock behaves the same as every part of the real database you use… most often the db is your boundary with nothing further downstream. At that point it really is just a faster disposable database, and totally is valid acceptance tests for the e2e system.

Also nothing stops you from using a mock for some tests and a real database for others. It just comes down to trust.

The ones who didn’t pay me.

I feel there is something missing in this story… what was implied by your email about cancelling your flight home the agreement to only log 40 hours? Sounds like you were just saying “affirmative”… what is the stunt he thinks you were pulling? And what is the second email about which you mention gmail and taking him off.

It was a great story until that point and I want to know what happened next, I feel I’m missing something.

I was once told mdd was mortgage driven development. Make code as confusing as hell so to they keep you on and you can keep paying your mortgage.

I love this, my dissertation at uni was on the Enigma machine and I built a configurable one in software (Java) and it was fascinating to me that once you matched the spec of the real machine you got matching letter for letter encryption and decryption of real messages. The day my outer acceptance tests started working was amazing! The fact this needs no power is brilliant. Makes it surprising now they didn’t come up with it being a pure mechanical version back then and relied on the electrical current. Would love to try this out in the flesh.

Oh, cool idea, this should be on the (b)lockchain!

This is word for word what I was about to write. Totally agree as I had a very puzzled face when that option didn’t appear in the list. And even more puzzled when (what I thought was the throwaway flippant idea of) ‘cloning the repo into another folder’ was in the list. I can safely say, I’ve never done this and can’t think of a scenario where I would need to.

Wasn’t it 10k btc for 2 Papa John’s Pizzas?

Loving the semi confusing retro control buttons, not dissimilar to my first ever stack CD player. Sitting there playing with the buttons that are doing things in certain situations and you’re still not quite sure what it is doing but you like it.

I love those moments. Your brain has worked on it in the background like a ‘bombe’ machine cracking the day’s enigma code. And suddenly “ding… the days code is in!”

Sweet. Fast spin for the win!

Precisely, although I’ll come clean and didn’t know about that exact triangulation exploit mentioned, just the fact that nicely organised historical data of all actions is there somewhere to be found. Especially if this type of software starts getting all the modern ai magic on top, this could be used by everyone as standard tooling and perhaps be a target.

Omg, snap! I didn’t do it again after that. Also for the idea mentioned about taking photos. No camera phones back when I was doing this and it was actually in Japan that I bought my first proper digital camera, the Canon Ixus 3 I think iirc

Can also see this being used by scammers/malware. Not saying it shouldn’t exist. It’s really cool. Just scary. Great job.
