Plain text copy/paste should be the default and crtl+shift+v to include formatting

This calculator got me through college. I then passed it down to my brother and it lasted him through college also.

There is a bad stigma associated with nuclear energy that I just don’t understand - Nuclear less impact to the environment when compared to other energy sources. What is is the problem with nuclear? Is it the cost of maintaining these power plants ?

Question for you guys here:

Is this kind of attack possible using Nuget-Package manager?

I experienced this earlier today. I ended up creating a reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/macbook/comments/jt3pqx/third_party...)

I also noticed that the symptoms go way if you manually disable WIFI.

Who architected this solution? Imagine an OS that needs to ping a server every time you launch an application and if the server down it renders your system useless.

The dev-community needs to push back on this issue and perhaps apple will re-think this solution

pinacarlos90 — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 04:45:52 +0000

1) Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 2) SnagIt 3) SSMS 4) Microsoft Azure Services 5) Microsoft Azure DevOps 6) Postman

there a bunch of other tools I use/love but I'm not sure they would qualify as 'enterprise', but here they are just in case:

VScode, notepad++, Agent Ransack, code compare, Dark reader chrome extension, Fork (git-client tool for MacOS),linqPad

pinacarlos90 — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 13:20:06 +0000

Use swagger-openAPI3 and generate a spec. You can then use the spec to spin up clients or import to a API management tool and produce mock data, with support for authentication and more. I recommend using swashbuckle (for .netCore) if you already have the code for your API, it allows you to quickly produce spec from code.

How do you go about organizing/prioritizing work, and executing?

1) what workflow methodology you use (e.g. scrum/sprint, Kanban, etc)

2) where does requirements come from?

3) how granular is your code-review process?

The price is a marketing move. Apple couldn't care less if they sold 12 units of these wheels-kits per year, as long as it gets people talking about Apple. "There is no such thing as bad publicity"

My question is, what would be the impact on the following areas if the internet was public utility?

1) security/encryption

2) bandwidth distribution

3) content freedom

4) Governance rules (federal gov?)

It boils down to sending some sort of notification so first responders know about the issue ASAP

You can do it at the OS level: on a windows OS for example: you use EventViewer and assign a task to specific type of log captured by the OS this task can then invoke a small app that sends emails if an error-log occurs or something like that

    Application specific issue:
        you can manually capture exceptions raised within the app and send notifications
            there are many clever ways to do this and not hinder performance, and also not pollute your code-base with exception handling
                you can spawn "fire and forget threads" that send notifications ...
                let me know if need more ideas here

    Integration tests:
        given that you've built a strong suite of integration-tests covering all the functionality on your app
            you can have have your integration tests run every 15min or so and send notifications if tests fail

You can also use monitoring tools. I know Azure offers ways to help with this. Reach out if want more ideas or more specific solutions

Should HN get a dark theme?

HN is my primary source for tech news. I’d love to have ability to toggle dark theme, and save my eyes a little bit. What are your thoughts?

Is it just me that feels like recently the word “crisis” is being overused? not just online but by the media also

New comment by pinacarlos90 in "What every computer science major should know (2011)"

pinacarlos90 — Wed, 17 Jul 2019 03:01:42 +0000

I come from a CS background and learned a lot from studying CS, it definitely gave me a strong foundation and changed the way I view and understand computing. I learned most of the topics mentioned in this document while in school, and although they are all valid, they are not enough for real world needs.

~90% of CS undergraduates will end working as or with engineers, and in 2019 here are the skills that are indispensable:

1) understand popular protocols used in WWW (http, ssh, ftp, etc)

2) version control (Git). Understand pull-requests and the process of collaboration in a team

3) problem solving - how to breakdown problems, and how to overcome them when you reach a wall (use known algorithms when possible)

4) design patterns (learn as many as you can)

5) frameworks: MVC, angular, dependency injection, etc

6) communication skills

7) how to organize work, how breakdown big tasks into small easier-to-accomplish pieces

8) understand deadlines

9) write tests (unit-test, integration-test, etc)

10) understand that “good enough” sometimes is all you need (still try to fix it later :) )
