Today I got an answer from the recruiter. Thank you.

I've applied and we had the first interview by phone. The next step would be a technical test. The recruiter ghosted me and I never got to the test. After 20~ days, I sent an e-mail asking for an answer, even if negative. Never got a reply.

Passing job interviews is already a skill on its own, and one that does not necessarily coincides with being a good employee.

SEEKING WORK | Remote from Brazil | Fullstack Developer | 10~ years experience

Go getting generics is definitely surprising. I used to even argue in favor of Go the way it is.

If there's one thing I got from these responses, is that I should look at Kubernetes.

Thank you for your answer.

I forgot to mention that the Feynman lectures on Physics are available online for free: http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/

I learned Calculus myself through a book called "Calculus - an intuitive and physical approach", by Morris Kline. It is cheap and very didatic.

I never really studied physics, but I found the first books from the "Feynman lectures on Physics" to be very good.

Can you let us have your e-mail address?

+1 for the shortcuts.

Also one should take a look at rlwrap after becoming comfortable with the keyboard shortcuts.

I would expect charging for storage. Let the user try whatever he wants for free -- both the mobile app and the website, but after some point, say one month of average usage, one faces a limited storage problem, solvable with an account upgrade.

In Brazil this is very common. The whole internet is reduced to a combination of WhatsApp, Facebook and YouTube.

You can use any language, but it's not like they are all equal and have the same tooling available. Rust has some distinct features and there is a natural lack of resources as the language is still new, so it's interesting from a developers perspective that someone went through the work of doing all that from scratch and made it to the end.

Also it's an alternative to C++ which is heavily used in gamedev. I personally believe Rust can shine in gamedev and every experiment is interesting.

I would love to read a detailed explanation of the packaging process for iOS and Android.

Hey, thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I am aware of how common it is.

I mentioned it now mostly because I am sure I have exposed myself to risky situations (that could have gotten me a way worse outcome than HPV) out of trying to "solve" loneliness, as we are discussing here. (And I ended up being one of the unlucky with persistent high risk strain, had a couple of cauterizations done.)

I can totally relate to that... And considering I am HPV+, the "unhealthy" part might be taken both figuratively and literally. :)

In my case, what could have helped me is guidance. Someone to tell me how to find the balance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsPoBXemFmg

I am pretty sure it does.

I also have seen this happen with others, and have met girls who were able to recognize the "depressed and lonely programmer" pattern themselves through many similar dates (of course over dating apps) they had.

Also, it seems only logical that a totally male-dominated lonely and addictive profession that usually encourages and/or requires a lot of dedication even outside of worktime would produce a bunch of solitary men. (And maybe _attract_ a bunch of others.)

> Solipsistic professional existence in a largely solipsistic and male-dominated profession. That's a very isolating existence and full of wrong turns unless you make strong, proactive efforts to stay in healthy social circles, which the average mid-20s person isn't going to be scrupulously careful about doing. It's very easy to start pulling dating partners from /dev/urandom, particularly amidst the loneliness and angst that eventually catches up to you.

That's exactly how I messed up my own life.

Which is happening...

I would say the excessive mediatic exposure of HIV have definitely worked to supress awareness and care for other STIs.

For instance, I am HPV+ and didn't have a clue about the existance of such a thing before getting it.

The database schema serves as a single source of truth documentation. It is valuable by itself and not replaced by application level enforcement.

However RDS for PostgreSQL is still more expensive than RDS for MySQL, and I don't know why. If someone can enlighten me on that, I appreciate.

This is very true in my experience. I can recognize the "People don't respond naturally to qualifications. They respond to getting their personal interests and desires satisfied." everywhere.

Of course a very bright engineer will naturally achieve some success, but there will always be a bar limiting his growth to how much people who can open new doors want him around and trust (in a very personal sense) him.

Seems like the guy calls himself a "copchaser" and is used to actuallly chase police officers, annoyingly record their action and make sure to insult them while teaching them a lesson about how to do their job. And he calls all that "standing his ground".

I am sure police officers can be jerks or even completely criminals, but this guy really seems to be crossing the line of common sense.

One thing that gets me in the zone is time. I really begin to focus at night. When I spend the night programming, it is extremely productive, but during the morning or evening, I can't really wrap my head around sitting in front of a computer.

My vote for Godot is that it works on Linux. What has blocked me from gamedev is the historical Windows requirement. I don't want to fiddle with virtual machines, bugs due to unsupported usage of the engine or dual boot. Electronics are very expensive in my country, so having 2 computers is a too big investment (this is also what blocks me from IOS dev btw). I need Linux because I am productive on it, and because I have an actual job besides my indie gamedev thing that requires it and I want to minimize context switch.

I have been able to run some big engines on Linux in the past, but it is always somewhat hacky and unsupported. The only game I was able to finish and launch was written in Java using the great libGDX (and I had to rent a mac in the cloud to compile for IOS (when Robovm was officially supported, don't know about how it's done now)). I am now considering Godot for my next game because it is free and runs on Linux.

I constantly use the bookmarks bar (Firefox).

Fun fact: in Portuguese, we call prostitutes "garota de programa", which literally means "program's girl", or "a girl who makes programs". "Program" in this context means "sexual service".

It is a known inside joke among Brazilian programmers to call ourselves "garoto de programa", which means "program's boy" - laymen therefore think we are referring to male prostitution.

Until December last year I was happily using my Nexus 5; then it broke in an accident and I had to replace it. After researching the market, I ended up buying a Nexus 5X, which is almost the same thing as the 5, just a little bigger (still fitting any pocket) and improved.

I am probably blaming React for more than it's responsible for, but I feel that, in a real world project, it's rather difficult to not fall into that zone where you have webpack, several loaders and complex configurations for different environments, babel with plugins/presets, gulp, redux or something equivalent, strange directory structures because all libraries purposely try to avoid being associated with bad old big frameworks thus giving too much freedom for the programmer to be "creative" when organizing his code, node for SSR (and then taking care for everything to also work on the server), css modules, react wrappers crashing because wrapped libs were originally written with dom manipulation in mind etc. You know the list can go on, the last time I remember my package.json had around 50 direct dependencies, and it is possible to justify every one of them. All that to write magic JS code that imports assets, transforms them, output obscure css classes and a client.js file that eventually print some crazy warnings on line 53777 column 838383937.

I know I am just complaining like a grouchy old man and not really helping understand and solve the problem, but that's what I can do right now. I would say that maybe we are building too modular software and the complexity of glueing everything together is becoming a problem? I feel like the existance of several "react + this + that" boilerplates indicates something.

I can also be wrong and everything is OK and I am problematizing.

I felt that way using React itself (for the web) - it was like writing code upon so many layers I didn't have control to fix eventual hairy bugs anymore. So I didn't even try Native.

Are 23andMe tests useless? Don't get me wrong, I am just curious about it.
