F-W-M

I always get annoyed at the website.

That was my introduction to vectors in my sixth year of school.

It's a great start into freelancing though. They have to pay you 60% of your former salary upto 110% of it.

Non-competes can work out if the rules actually favor the workers. I had one while working for a HFT in Germany and would sign it again.

You build it around torrents and might earn the maintenance costs back with some non-intrusive ads.

> This is true even in places where the speed limit is 85 mph, and the slower end of the flow of traffic is 95 mph.

Once traffic rules are enforced by autonomous cars that don't let you go over the speed limit, we can start raising the limit to more realistic levels. I guess currently it is priced in that everyone goes over by x km/h.

Ah thanks. Didn't hear 'long polling' in that context yet.

What do you mean by a long polling state machine? Is it just a state machine that gets fed via long polling http requests?

No. I wanted to say that it is very easy to shoot yourself in the foot with zeromq if you put no thought into designing your protocols.

It's a task that you have to do, since the basic guarantees of 0MQ are almost never enough and is very well explained in the guide. But you have to read it carefully.

Does anyone have the mentioned superfile manual?

Worked on a team that used zeromq for a trading system. Worked well, but if you do not read the guide and get a good grip on what guarantees are provided by zero mq.

What's the problem with parking lots?

Wouldn't it be optimal to have read, understood and thought about it before the meeting? Although this probably never happens, except maybe if you go full async and request a thoughtful response from everybody before a meeting might happen.

Why do meetings start with dedicated reading time? Did people always come unprepared? How can I imagine this? Is it like: "Hey folks, thanks for showing up. This is the document we'll be discussing in 20min. Please read it now?".

I don't think it's bad. I like written, long form content. It just is very far from what I know.

With a modern holster there is no need for an additional safety. Keep gun in holster, holster protects trigger. If you really need a gun and be ready to fire and only then: get gun out of holster.

"Strings are sequences of characters" or sth. like that.

In Germany it is very hard to fire people but there is a six month period in the beginning, where one can be fired without reason. Is it possible to gauge a new employee during that timeframe?

It's harder 2 weeks a year, but that is so easily offset by the 50 other weeks that make your workout, eating habbits, routines and responsibilities so much easier.

If they are in there own commits, you just drop them.

Honestly the average level of git skills, doesn't allow such a workflow.

First two jobs out of university everyone pulled its weight. Great team spirit and atmosphere in both jobs, but after this the experience in my third job hit me even harder. Suddenly I am one of those two guys and the other one quits.

forum.dlang.org is NNTP with e-mail and forum interface.

GMail does not support threads?!

I switched jobs and two weeks later started the corona lockdown. I was able to get up to speed, form meaningful connections to team members, and do some of my best work for two years.

My productivity tanked completely ever since we were forced back to the office. It almost burned me out.

I nodded a lot during this talk from Todd Montgomery and Martin Thompson about building Software Systems.

Would you mind to elaborate a bit on your system? I tried to do something similar for an algo trading system, but in the end I hadn't enough entities to justify the approach.

Never heard of buildroot. Interesting!

For many things it's simple enough to read the code, did this e.g. for the Configuration system in ASP.NET Core. Dunno, if I could do this with postgres.

I am using it for years and with great success, but I still mess up a lot when configuring more complex layouts.

LLVM had that problem. But if you are already writing in C++, where do you switch to? (Spoiler: it's code generation).

IO on the UI thread.
