Very nice.

start a fresh session and ask it to try again, but ban it from looking online.

This is nice. But I'm loath to use my spacebar as a fire key. I'm scared I'll break my laptop. If you could set fire to one of the regular keyboard letters that would be better.

It would be cool to do some evening shifts at a restaurant, for the novelty and the social aspect (compared with staring at a screen all day)... plus the work is cognitively very simplistic... quite relaxing compared to corporate life. The problem is, if I have a day job as an engineer, my regular income puts me in a high tax bracket. So, not only would I be earning close to minimum wage, I would be taxed at the highest tax rate on the minimum wage... so it really would be a waste of time. Progressive tax rates are what makes it unviable for high income earners to pick up a weekend or evening job.

Because there is a fiscal deficit which requires borrowing, which means that new money is created. If the new money were spent only in the USA it would cause prices to go up a lot, so the money goes overseas so that the price increases are more moderate (arbitrage). Why is there a fiscal deficit? Because politicians want to win elections. If the fiscal deficit were ended then mathematically there could not be a trade deficit.

Yes, it works. The "git flow" blogpost is cancer.

The faster you can deploy, the faster you can deploy fixes. Also note, you can always roll back bad deployment.

But, using a trunk branch (eg master, main, whatever you want to call it), doesn't mean you can't support a variety of release schedules. You primarily just feature flag the elements that aren't scheduled for release.

1. These prices seem extremely low. 2. Your calendly links are broken.

Why not tell it, "I only want the regex, don't give me the entire solution. I'm doing this to learn, please don't spoil the assignment for me." Anyway, if you want to learn regex there are many interactive regex tools online that you can use to iterate on.

Nice game. Good difficulty curve to be honest.

Wide events are good, but watch out they don't become "god events". The event that every service needs to ingest, and, therefore, if there's new data that a service needs then we just add it onto the god event, because, conveniently, it's already being ingested. Before too long, the query that generates the wide event is getting so complex it's setting the db on fire. Like anything, there are trade offs; practical limits to how wide an event should reasonably become.

Because Hans Reiser, who authored Reiser4 and ReiserFS, was later convicted of murdering his wife.

It had too many Indians. Not that that's absolutely a bad thing, but it was bad for me because the answers tended to reflect Indian cultural perspectives and they weren't very relevant to me.

Yeah, particularly in regards to spammy video essays of the standard of the one linked.

PHP is a pain to work with. It doesn't have the tools that other languages have. The libraries available for PHP tend to be buggy or poorly designed.

The market for PHP developers isn't going to go away, but if you work somewhere that is using PHP there is a good chance you won't be working somewhere with a strong engineering focus. So you probably won't have great people to learn from and you will limit your growth as a software engineer.

150 ETH/USD is normal forex notation.

The graph shows a currency pair. So one currency is being sold in exchange for the other.

When you see currency pairs like this, ETH/USD, the first currency (ETH) is the one being bought, the second currency (USD) is the one being sold. If the chart is going up, the first currency is becoming stronger against the second. If the chart is going down, the first currency is becoming weaker against the second.

In that light it does make sense mathematically. The currency being sold is the denominator and the currency being bought is the numerator. The value of the currency being bought, the numerator is directly proportional to the exchange value of the pair. The value of the currency being sold, the denominator, is inversely proportional to the exchange value of the pair
