I received a three question geometry quiz inside of a google form as a screening for a backend nodejs a couple weeks ago. Apparently it was critical for the role that I know the relationship between the circumference and the radius of a circle.
It's not clear to me why it makes sense to use both RDB Files and AOF on the same Redis instance. Seems like AOF would always be the more accurate source of truth here. What am I missing?
It's been a toss up for me. Some juniors are super self motivated and can take advice and run with it. In these scenarios I really enjoy mentoring because it feels like a back and forth process. Others need their hands held a lot and tend to just assume they can't figure things out on their own which becomes exhausting to deal with.
I completely disagree. No one is ever going to write out a url by hand on notebook paper. Even in the rare case that a url would fit on a single line, it's just needlessly cumbersome work to do. I think the project author did a great job allowing for further site customization (styles, images, etc.) without overcomplicating the hand-written portion.
I have to remind myself of this all the time. The older I get the worse I am about asking questions on topics I don't know. "Ugh I should know that by now", is a pretty common thought that goes through my head. Definitely trying to unlearn this habit by being willing to jump in Discord groups and asking dumb questions. Never a bad experience so far!
Searching for your own name will turn up some interesting results! I got some early 90s webpages that just contain obituaries or marriage records. I never knew cities maintained these records online!
I agree. I love using the language for smaller things, but since I don't use it at my day job it's really hard to get well acquainted with the common tooling/libraries. When I try starting a new project I always end up spending hours just getting my environment in a good state.
When the baby boomers are gone the percentage will drop tremendously. I only know of one or two people below the age of 40 that practice religion regularly. Definitely curious to see what the headline will read 30 years from now.
I disagree with a lot of what was said here especially now as new languages are starting to stray away from the same C++/Java pattern of doing things. New tools can provide new and better ways of solving old problems. That being said I feel like this entire article was written for a co-worker of his who won't stfu about his favorite new language that changes every 6 months.
I've been writing side projects in clojure for over a year now, and really enjoyed this assessment/review. The line, "At those moments, you're basically programming Java with parentheses" hit home for me. I'll always brag about the interop capabilities of clojure, but I will avoid using it as much as possible.

Consistent project organization is an area React struggles, so I really like seeing organizations publish standards like this!
The flexibility of a React project structure gives users a lot of freedom you won't get with something like Ember, but keeping a standard structure can have some huge payoffs especially inside a company with many codebases.
