  • 90% Reduction: Scientists Discover Natural Molecule That Eradicates Plaques and Cavities

    Jump

  • If I'm reading this right, it's a digested form of something else in those vegetables. So adding broccoli to toothpaste isn't going to cut it. (Although I'm sure some brand on IG is already manufacturing that)

  • I wish writing SQL queries was more popular than ORMs

    Jump

  • I too want my query results in an object, but thankfully libraries like sqlx for golang can do this without the extra overhead of an ORM. You give them a select query and they spit out hydrated objects.

    As far as multiple DBs go, you can accomplish the same thing as long as you write ANSI standard SQL queries.

    I've used ORMs heavily in the past and might still for a quick project or for the "command" side of a CQRS app. But I've seen too much bad performance once people move away from CRUD operations to reports via an ORM.

  • Introducing ONCE, a new line of software products from 37signals: Pay one time, own forever.

    Jump

  • Right. Even pay-once software can have a phone home component that disables it if the creator deems it. So really we're talking about old versions of software that just used offline license keys which were easily cracked.

    I honestly really like the Jetbrains model where they offer a subscription for continual updates but you also get a fallback version you can use forever if you decide to stop paying. It acknowledges that you aren't costing them money if you aren't getting the new updates.

  • YouTube under no obligation to host anti-vaccine advocate’s videos, court says

    Jump

  • While I don't disagree with the decision, I do think big tech companies are getting to have their cake and eat it too. They can simultaneously decline to host content, while also not being responsible for the content they do host.

    At the very least, I would like them to be responsible for content that was reported by users, reviewed by the company's employees/contractors, and then allowed to stay up.

  • What are your programming hot takes?

    Jump

  • Interesting. I'll have to find some docs and share it with my co-workers because they definitely don't use build-in refactoring. Thanks!

  • Jetbrains IDEs do a lot of indexing and caching so that operations that normally take a bit are faster. Full text search, find usages, identifying interface usage in duck types, etc.

    But the killer feature for me is the refactoring tools. Changing a function signature, extracting an interface, moving code to new files or packages, etc. I pair with folks who use VS Code and its a bit tedious watching them use find and replace for renaming things.

    I've never been able to benefit from an IDE in a way that make up for how much slower and more bloated they are.

    That does sound legit if you have resource limitations. Thankfully I've always worked for corporations that hand out MacBook Pros like candy. Normal day for me is having two Jetbrains IDEs open with Chrome, Slack, Zoom, and a dozen containers. Still runs smooth.

  • I'm not convinced that "strong pairing" is the best way to pair but even people who rail against agile ideology tell you that you're pairing wrong if you don't follow it precisely.

  • Code review is overrated and often poorly executed, most things should be checked automatically (review should still be done though)

    I think part of this is caused by the fact that a lot of people are bad at code reviews so they focus on things that a linter could have told you. Being able to read code isn't necessarily the same skill as being able to write it -- as evidenced by the knee jerk reaction to throw out any coffee we didn't write ourselves.

    I still create code reviews when I'm working on a project alone because it gives me a different perspective on the changes I've made.

  • Today I removed code from a codebase that was added in 2021 and never ever used. Sadly, some people are as content to litter in their repo as they are in the woods.

  • Please don't say the new language you're being asked to learn is "unintuitive". That's just a rude word for "not yet familiar to me".

    Yeah. I've written in six or so different languages and am using Go now for the first time. Even then, I'm trying to be optimistic and acknowledge things are just different or annoying for me. It doesn't mean anything is wrong with the language.

  • Not arguing either side, but I'd love to hear your reasoning.

  • Reddit Taken To SF Court for Firing Worker With Anxiety: Lawsuit

    Jump

  • They're all unpaid and probably classified as power users. So they have no employment protections.

  • Does Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS Block Archive.is?

    Jump

  • And? My DNS provider shouldn't be leaking my information even if I immediately use the info they gave me to connect to the site.

  • FCC says “too bad” to ISPs complaining that listing every fee is too hard

    Jump

  • I bought a plane ticket this week and it had all the fees listed. If airlines can do it, so can any multi-national corporation.

  • Zoom CEO says workers can't build trust or unite... on Zoom

    Jump

  • On top of this, they don't care about best practices. They're shit managers who were better at getting promoted than managing people.

    Meetings on Zoom suck? Well, you don't use agendas, meeting notes, etc. Your meetings always sucked, you're just missing the dopamine hit from socializing on the way to and from the meeting.

    Bad employee relations? Well, your 1:1s are really only status calls. Your relations always sucked, you're just missing talking to Bill about your kids when you corner him at the coffee machine.

    Missing team bonding? Well, your team went to happy hour to bitch about you. They always hated trust falls. You just miss hanging out with your yes-chums.

  • thrown into a backend project as a backend dev with a language I don't know, how fucked am I?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'd say your road to C# should pretty much be syntax then. Check out a course on exercism and read a bit about common idioms in C#.

    Jump

  • What language are you familiar with? Switching between the C-style OOP languages is honestly pretty straightforward.

  • Yeah. I had the experience you described. Not sure if it's because I have a newer version of Android or stock Android experience.

  • Not trying to argue, but could you expand on "anti-competitive behavior" a bit? I recently installed the Epic Store on my phone and found it pretty straightforward.
