This looks super cool. Love the git integration.

I used to do that, but having to deal with timeouts in long running jobs was frustrating because i never knew if something was successful. Could bump up the timeouts, but theyre there for a reason.

Carhartt | Sr. Software Engineer | Dearborn, MI and REMOTE | Full Time

Carhartt has been making clothes to protect hard-working people since 1889. Our team is at the center of consumer data and we work to provide a better experience for the millions of people who interact with our brand. We do that whether we’re partnering with the customer service team, helping the company understand its consumer data, or creating user-facing features.

The team often feels like a startup, we’re always learning and trying to innovate through well-crafted software, and we place a high value on work-life balance. I like to pitch the position as a pleasant mix of backend development and data engineering.

Tldr; capitalism good because author “finds it obvious” in thought experiment

I don’t know, I think having your tests assume that the 3rd party data looks a certain way is helpful. If that ever breaks in prod, then something needs to change, and your tests can change if the interface changes.

Wow, this is eye opening. It’s a whole inter-developer tension I knew very little about

Mubi is also excellent

Try beans! There are tons of varieties, theyre pretty easy, and I’m pretty sure they’re grown the world over.

I don’t think “lack of funding” is something IBM has to worry about at the moment. As much as I might like it to be.

Honestly, my impression of this site is that the creators don't listen to much music. I know it’s probably not true, and that it sounds pretty snobby, but for instance, segmenting by a genre as broad as Rock is too reductive. There are possibly hundreds of rock subgenres, many of which have very different audiences, with some overlap. Take Pop Rock vs punk vs grindcore vs metal vs folk rock vs whatever. And then all of the subgenres within those. Subgenreception.

IMO, community curation isn't something that will work very well with music, though I'd love to be proved wrong. Somebody said something about subreddits in another comment, and that analogy seems good. There is also another startup that collaborated with metal musicians and had them build out radio shows, which also seems promising - especially because it's addressing a very specific market.

Also, 20 seconds is way too long to listen to a song that you know you're not going to like from the first couple of seconds.

Wouldn’t have been a good memory if you were _running_ through the midwest. A good chunk of the summer, they dive-bomb anyone who looks at their bush funny. Those birds are my personal nemeses - but they’re winning.

This. Even MS salespeople never try to slip in “windows search barring” in place of “googling”.

Vancouver, BC passed something like this a few years ago - it’s a 20% tax on all non-resident home purchases. It has actually stopped house prices from rising so fast, but there are still a bunch of empty homes.

Needing an account to read articles is a bit much, IMO. Unless I’m misunderstanding something.

I dont want to make people sign up for something new just to read my shitty links

Yes - totally agree. Sure, mocking everything is a bad idea. And mocking can make changes brittle. But I would much rather just mock HTTP requests, dates, and filesystem stuff than spend a day figuring out how to write some wrapper around HTTP requests to inject in .NET core.

...or even more...

> The person writing this has to repeat frequently that they're OK with the <toast> element; it's quite funny how hard they try not to upset people.

I don't know - I kind of figured that was part of the joke - I thought it was pretty clever.

> It never tested a malfunctioning sensor, according to the three officials.

That one popped out to me. Man. Lots to learn.

> Boeing continued to defend MCAS and its reliance on a single sensor after the first crash, involving Indonesia’s Lion Air.

Also...how? So many non safety critical services use a load balancer and at least a couple of servers because who can trust just one thing working perfectly all the time?

3 days of work unpaid!!?

Good story, but man, I think this story sucked up like 30% of my battery, and the ads didn't even load half the time.

Hint: It's not in TFS

3-week releases sounds crazy, but it's still interesting to see how different types of tech companies deal with source control + release cycles.

Yeah, Swift in particular really embraces that pattern.

Detroit might be okay if you like long commutes, no transit, and (typically) conservative workplaces. Pay seems like its increasing a bit, if stack overflow jobs is any indicator.

It would be an awesome place for a startup with all the cheap property and rent.

People here are nicer than anywhere else I’ve ever lived

I miss biking and walking to work. And while thats possible here, it’s not easy to find.

But Detroit’s not an easy city and that’s one of its charms. Heh, though people generally don’t talk about Detroit’s hardships in terms of biking to your tech job.

You can do as little as 100, but I think most small artists get 300 made cuz that’s where the price per unit gets low enough that you can at least hope you’ll make your money back.

Prices have gone up a lot in the last 5 years. I think it’ll run at least $2,000 to get an LP pressed. Plus a year wait. Probably half that or so for a 7”.

Depending on the label youre with (theres a ton of 1 person labels), you can split the cost. If theyre bigger, they’ll just pay for it.

You know, a similar service never really panned out. Poor execution, I hear.

You are so brave

i must be thinking of a different Martin Shkreli...

This is awesome - the file/folder metaphor for data has always been pretty boring
