GraphQL is the reason I just switched from a paid Paw license to insomnia!
In addition to these 3, make sure you enable FileVault. This will encrypt all of your data at rest
I think adding a "We are stealth, dont allow comments" option would be good then
Ive heard something similar from Richard Branson about airlines. "How do you become a millionaire? Start with a billion dollars and create an airline"
Their anti-spammer code is the only code that is not published as open source
I definitely recommend using HTTPS on this site. I would rather not have all of my calls logged on a company server somewhere (especially if someone works at a company that cares about this sort of thing)
Haha, no worries, we've all been there!
I think theyre generally used as a quick way to show someone a piece of code with some nice syntax highlighting.
I clicked next and this is the first thing that I thought of. What a terrible user experience, so much for sharing "anonymously"
Definitely agree here. I moved back to Chicago from SF to be near family now that I have a little one.
I was lucky enough to keep my job working remotely for an awesome company in SF, but I can tell even from the LinkedIn spam how different the job market is here.
Facebook was great. The recruiter gave me detailed feedback on what each interviewer said for each round.
I love this type of stuff, because it is an insight into the way that normal people (ie. not royalty) lived.
Well there are a few reasons that I decided to pick up go rather than something like kotlin.
1. No jvm needed. This may not be a benefit if you need to access java libraries, i just like that you can compile a binary.
2. Great concurrency support
3. Seems to be more popular. This may sound like a poor reason to choose a language, but if its more popular there would be better documentation, libraries, ide support, etc
Maybe lenient isnt the best description. It is much more concise without losing static typing.
Type inference like this: myvar := myFunc() makes coding feel like its a dynamic language
Agreed 100%. This is actually the reason that I have been picking up go lately, you get some of the more lenient syntax of python, with static typing guarantees.
This is actually what I am using now on my personal blog (

I went with hugo because it is very fast, and I didn't need to install any dependencies locally or on my server.
I bought a theme from themeforest and converted it to a hugo theme. It was a great learning experience, but the docs on actually creating a theme were a bit thin.
Spotify has a habit of replaying songs that I have already thumbs downed as well as other songs by that same artist.
I am a huge fan of postgres, but removing an index on postgres like this (especially if it is the primary means of querying a large table) would have the same effects.
This is just a failure of the tool that executes indexing operations, and not of the db itself
16gb and 32gb? Why is storage always so low?
There are, but they frame it more as an "architecture review". Often this takes the form of a 3+ hour meeting going over all code that devs have committed in the last month or so.
It is a terrible system. If you aren't reviewing code before it goes in you are missing a HUGE opportunity to review for bugs and correctness before a client experiences a crash.
You can make code reviews required by using something like Gerrit (
https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/) and having it be the gate to your master branch.
The system I use at work is:
code -> push to gerrit -> gerrit automatically runs all unit tests and if they pass you get a +1 from gerrit -> get a code review + approval from a colleague -> submit.
So to get a piece of code to production you need both all unit tests to pass AND a code review. I am a big fan of this system and gerrit
Yeah as am I. These cynical comments can be completely replaced by a downvote if they honestly don't think that this is interesting or appropriate.
On a separate note, it was great to hear that PostGIS (which is amazing btw) scaled well and can be used on a site with this much traffic!
I disagree with the select many suggestion. So many job postings are full of popular languages but when you actually look at the job its clear that there is 1 language you will be using
Looks like they are sunsetting. They will be focusing on other projects at google
