They never root caused the bug! They know a symptom (Grammarly and this gif cause things to crash) but still no root cause. I was pretty disappointed at the end.

Go with PHP 3 years ago

I thought the same thing. PHP is a fine tool but that is not a value add statement. The code can "handle" anything, it's the underlying OS and related systems that limit the load.

Blind is such a toxic place... I always come off shocked at how awful people are on there. Only focused on "TC", and nothing else.

I've been a huge fan of the Microsoft Sculpt for years. Its the only keyboard that doesn't hurt my wrists/hands hurt. Just my personal preference.

I tried the Moonlander for a bit, but could never get over the learning curve (it is very very steep). It's build quality is fantastic, is amazingly customizable, but the shape didn't work with my brain/muscle memory.

I went back to the Sculpt. If they ever decide to discontinue them I guess I'll need to stock up.

The title of this article is somewhat silly to me. The subscription fee has never been a surprise to anyone who's owned one.

The point of a Peloton is to do the classes, either for running or spinning, which require a subscription. It would be silly to buy a premium device who's point is to use the subscription based features and specifically intend to use it without the subscription. Just buy a similar treadmill from another company.

I'm in engineering management at Google. In my org, we're actively trying to improve how we give performance reviews, motivate people, measure the projects people work on, and relevant to this topic, manage out low performers.

The days when people can coast forever at Google are coming to an end. I had to let one person go because they basically never did more than the bare minimum (and got 3 Needs Improvement ratings in a row), and I know many more (some under me, some not) who are approaching a PIP.

What kind of engineering? What is the standard of "good"?

I've worked at startups that have collectively made great decisions for a period of a few years, and people left or changed their minds, and some of those decisions didn't hold up. Some of those assumptions shaped code that too difficult in the short term to change, and there was no political will to push it through. Short term leadership was great, long term was less than great but still good. For the particular company I'm thinking of, new engineering leaders joined and things seem to be trending back in the positive.

The Center of the American Experiment (CAE) is a right-wing pressure group based in Minnesota. It is a member of the State Policy Network (SPN), a web of state pressure groups that denote themselves as "think tanks" and drive a right-wing agenda in statehouses nationwide. On the homepage of its website, CAE lists its issue areas as: Minnesota economy, healthcare, families, governance, education and employee freedom.

Django 3 7 years ago

Congrats to Django's contributors and community! It's been a while since I've actively worked in Django but I found the people in the Django ecosystem to be generally very helpful.
