A free for all, late Friday deployment is baffling… We’ve got a strict window of Tuesday-Thursday for releases (unless it’s a critical issue), and a 2-3 day merge freeze to help mitigate unexpected changes.
We’ve got a relatively small team with LOTS of moving parts, so minimizing deployment issues is always top of mind.
Not every iOS device uses a SIM card, and not every SIM enabled device uses one. It’s a potential way to verify location, but not a reliable one.
It’s possible, but I wouldn’t put it past Apple to ignore the VPN when checking your location. I’d suspect they’d check using more than 1 approach (Internet, GPS, country on your Apple account, etc) to verify your location.
I’m a software engineer, so I spend the majority of my day inside. I tend to do more outdoorsy type stuff when off work or on weekends like 4-wheeling, snowmobiling, hunting/fishing, photography, exploring, etc. When I am indoors, I tend to play video games, sometimes learn new programming tech, and more recently reading.
Tons of odd little things too, but that’s a good majority of what I tend to do.

You can also get 2-3 movies worth with 4gb depending on its length and quality. Maybe even more.
My cat lays near my wood stove… Your cats should be fine :)
I was heavy into skateboarding as a kid, and I was interested in making some skateboarding media website with images and videos. I had initially began with wix, because I had no idea programming was a thing (I barely used technology, or even a phone). I messed around with it for a while, and then learned that I could make websites with just a simple html file… And the rest was history. Ended up getting into PHP, then game development with Java, etc.
Staying on the SQL theme… The company I work for has a fairly old (~20 years) system. There’s a feature for users and site admins to export massive amounts of data, with the option to export data from when the system was first released. Purely CSV or XML data formats. On large datasets, the time for export would vary from 10-20+ hours, and would frequently timeout, forcing you to split exports into multiple timeframes and manually merging them into a single file. The solution? Indexes! Indexes were non-existent. After adding them, export times have dropped to ~10-15 minutes, which is a rather insane performance increase, especially since a single export is accepted per account at a time.
Yeah, same here. I spend all day at a computer, last thing I want to do is spend more time at a computer. I’ve also spent more time working on my own vehicle’s, and just generally being outside more often.
One thing that I do enjoy from time to time is graphics/game programming. Nothing really ever results from any of my projects, but it is something I enjoy, as i don’t do graphics programming at my job… It’s usually systems/web development, so the difference in the type of projects I choose to do as hobby programming has helped for me.
Sorry, I meant 12hr is standard (agreeing with Nemo’s original comment).
It’s standard in Canada as well. I prefer 24hr personally. There were a couple times where I’ve napped in the evening, and woke up thinking I was late for work in the morning. Not fun. 24hr clock solves that. Plus it just makes more sense to me than 12hr clocks.
You don’t need to be good at math for programming… It all depends on what you want to do. Even if you do want to do math heavy things like graphics or dealing with any formulas for any reason, you can learn as you go… However, wanting to jump ahead is never a bad idea. Most of the time, basic understanding of math is absolutely fine in programming.
I would rather not get anything than get a rock for recognizing my efforts.
“This will be either badass or really stupid.”
Real curious… If you were insured by the same company you work for, would you be able to handle your own claims, or is there some sort of conflict of interest?
Nunito is a fun font.
The college I went to taught COBOL in 2 mainframe courses, and as far as I’m aware, they still do.
It was either you like it, or you absolutely despise it. It wasn’t all the difficult, but it is very different than your standard java, C#, C++, etc, so the syntax really throws people off.
It’s going to hell, so I would put in dead batteries.
I had a college professor who called it “C hash”, so I’m inclined to name them “Hashers.”
