GoodDreams

Consider representing money in cents ¢ instead of $, €, etc. Often it’s faster to parse a serialized integer then divide by 100 than to parse a decimal value. And sometimes it’s faster to serialize and sometimes you can serialize to fewer bytes. And often aggregation of integers is faster. And it may make supporting non-decimalized currencies, such as ¥, easier.

Ethical non-monogamy is one example.

Not sure if I had the same issues but my situation was resolved by cleaning my lightning port and using a quality cable.

I want tested code in my docs. I want my docs’ build to fail if sample code doesn’t actually work.

"most" to me means more than half. Many folks think it means somewhere around 2/3 or 3/4.

I wonder what percentage are afraid of non-autonomous cars.

I’m interested in understanding what it means to be a military minded coder.

Reminds me of: People said you can’t write a financial trading system in a garbage collected language. Turns out you can as long as you don’t garbage collect during the trading day by carefully managing allocations and manually running GC each day before trading starts.

Or the old story of the junior engineer who finds a memory leak in a missile’s guidance system and the senior engineer says the memory leak is fine as long as you don’t run out of memory before the missile completes its mission.

Same. I considered switching iCloud accounts when I switch between work/personal modes but decided that the risk of accidentally leak information between account or losing data was too great.

At least with the Macs I can create a separate OS user account and have that account signed into the other iCloud account. Think iPad OS will support multiple users some day?

With Sidecar I was hoping that physically connecting the iPad to the Mac would be enough. Would a physical connection (with perhaps an additional prompt) be a sufficiently secure authorization alternative? Putting my opsec hat on: I suppose someone could (theoretically) use an adapter to tunnel USB/Thunderbolt through a wireless connection to work around the need for a physical connection.

A company I worked for defined big data as anything not analyzable with a relational database - a PDF or video was big data. Companies say they want the latest buzzword even though it’s against their own interest and other companies say “we can give that to you” and instead deliver something that is of actual value so the license gets renewed. Same thing happened with SOA, REST, microservices, blockchain. IBM developed a blockchain product just to get the sales conversations going and then sold something else. Imagine being on that product’s team.

I stopped interviewing out of fear of being accused of bias and the subsequent effects of such an accusation.

My understanding is that Stripe offers UI to sign up for a subscription, but then offers only an API for other subscription actions such as changing from monthly to yearly or cancelling. Someone have a link describing Stripe's comprehensive UI for subscriptions?
