Re:What I Learnt Becoming a Tech Lead on Saturday September 18, 2021 @05:23AM (#28574818)
why is this, it feels like every other person is a senior nowadays. does it even have any meaning anymore?

it seems like "staff" or "principal" roles are the real "seniors"

Let him know there is a minor bug with the brake.

If you hold an arrow key and then hold brake, the square will slow down but then speed up briefly and finally slow down for good.

Re:The Blockchain Bubble Will Pop, What Next? on Monday July 30, 2018 @02:06AM (#17642399)
The problem is industries such as the financial sector are extremely resistant to change. Banks are still using COBOL! They are so slow to adapt, it could take a decade or more for blockchain technology to be integrate.

Is it me or is BBC's feed outdated or broken?
Re:Ask HN: How do you remember things without tests? on Tuesday April 17, 2018 @09:02PM (#16863781)
I think what you are describing is really how to learn. It's not that you require a test in order to remember material, you just need to implement what you have read in order to reinforce what you have read into memory. Humans remember things a lot better when you have an experience to associate with it.
Re:Why junior devs should review seniors’ commits on Tuesday April 10, 2018 @08:32PM (#16807025)
Besides code reviewing, it is useful to spend some time just to read and study commits made by other developers to observe and learn how they do things.
In Australia, the PayWave system for $100+ purchase will take no longer than signatures if the person doesn't make a mistake. It's just tap your card, press 5 buttons, then a 2-3 seconds processing time and you're off.

The process will naturally become faster as adoption increases and more people get familiar with it.

I guess this means aircraft computers aren't allowed to tell pilots to slow down anymore.
Re:Formula 1 e-sports now more exciting than the real thing on Monday November 27, 2017 @08:11PM (#15793408)
Why do you have to bring gender into this. If you really want to talk about females, I'll tell you where it really matters - there are many female engineers and mechanics in every team already contributing to the sport.
Re:Facebook Is the Junk Food of Socializing (2015) on Sunday November 26, 2017 @07:59PM (#15784040)
But you don't need Facebook for any of that. If you are truly really interested on what your family and friends are up to, message them, call them up or use video chat. That way you can have a direct and personal communication with them, which is more important to human relationships than the passive mass consumption of whatever content, good or bad, they are spitting out on their feed.

I can completely disregard the rest of the review if the reviewer does not know how to present benchmark graphs properly.

Isn't this called un-obfuscating rather than reverse engineering?
