I'm was still on 2013 and my install is almost 2 years old. VS seems to get slower over time. And this is without powertools or resharper. Maybe it is just me but Atom sure feels quicker.
Another POV here, I moved from Visual Studio after using it for over 15 years. For me, Atom is fucking fast. Lack of UML diagramming, database designer and TFS integration is a blessing in disguise.
Agreed. I'm native, born and raised, and learned about "gypsy cabs", "car service" and how to hail a yellow cab back when yellow cabs still had "jump seats". Uber has democratized what affluent people have always known, money can buy anything, including someone to drive you somewhere.
I'm almost done with seveneves and the thing that gets me is how defensive his wrighting has become.
He explains every semi-technical concept in excruciating detail as if he expects an army of angry nerds to tear the book to shreds if he doesn't explain early research into how whips work or the theoretic underpinnings of how swarming algorithms work.
You are right, I have no idea of the economics and would probably fail quickly.
I wouldn't try to open it not where rich people live or work, but a marginal area that serves as a destination for after work drinks and the like where there is some sort of scene. Someplace like Red Hook in Brooklyn.
Maybe do cross promotion with other local artisans as well.
Really, I don't want to run a restaurant, I just want good sandwiches. I'll stick to supporting good sandwich shops.
You are right of course. I'm no longer the target market. I Spend most of my time in the bubble of Manhattan or the rapidly gentrifying parts of Brooklyn, where subways seem to be disappearing, replaced with cute little brunch places.
Subway has a brand problem,most people no longer want the cheapest food around and those that do will go to food trucks or places more "authentic". Subway is now viewed as everything wrong with American food.
For one thing, it is insufficiently "artisanal" for today's consumers. If I was opening a sandwich shop, I would actually offer less options. I would offer a "curated" selection of sandwiches, changing daily/weekly, based on local ingredients. I'd charge 10-12 for a 6" inch sandwich.
Let him go on good terms. If he stays with the understanding he can do various side projects on company time you are both compromising. You get half a developer and he still has to do tasks he doesn't want to do. This is a recipe for resentment.
In my experience, every time someone leaves another person blossoms and steps up. I've seen "irreplaceable" developers come and go, they were all replaced.
I am not a coach or trainer. I am just a developer trying to remain sane. I tend to believe that any thoughtful process can work as long as you stick to it. It just so happens I do agile/scrum.
I believe that at its core, agile is about two things. Planning on a shorter time frame so you can react quickly as unknowns surface, and continuously improving your process. The ceremony is meant to achieve those two things. If you are are doing the rituals, and fail to achieve those two things, I can see how it would seem worse than useless.
Here is what they don't tell you, it doesn't make software development easier. In fact, it can make it harder. What it does for me is make it sustainable and sane.
As a "tech lead" I think this is a great list of expectations. I don't allocate tasks on an individual basis, but I may suggest an individual dev work a track of features. I also work with devs from other companies who work with our products and APIs. I like to think I have a tactical view of the problem space while my VP or CTO works strategy.
I'm a huge iced coffee drinker and I'm not a big Blue Bottle New Orleans iced coffee fan, it doesn't taste much like coffee to me.
Similarly, artisanal "cold brew" at most places nowadays seems oddly bitter to me, without any depth. I been drinking iced americanos instead of cold brew for the last couple months and am happy now.
I gotta think that this is because reddit admins don't seem to present a united front to users or mods and they can't figure out how to fix it.
It seems like there is serious dissension among admins regarding fundamental ethical issues and how to handle things like celeb nude leaks and they think getting everyone in a room together will help.
As a native New Yorker who grew up not exactly well off I think this is article misses a few things.
It is different to be born and raised here than to move here.
People have large support systems in the form of extended family. This makes everything from child care to meals cheaper. Not so much roommates, but assorted cousins aunts and uncles.
There is a huge underground economy of "under the table " workers. Most of the kids I knew had some sort of after school menial job and were paid in cash. Many of the adults I knew growing up never left Brooklyn and worked miscellaneous all cash jobs. I even dated a girl from Brooklyn recently that had never had a bank account or drivers license.
There are a lot of places in New York the author would never even visit, let alone live. Places still ungentrifed or too far from Transportation. That is where the poor live.
A Patek Phillipe 3940g costs around 40k-50k. With several more zeros that is what, 4 million? You gave up a 4 million dollar watch for a Pebble Steel? I mean, the point of a 4million dollar watch isn't even to tell time. It is to say "I can wear your life savings on my wrist"
For people under a certain age, minecraft is the Internet. If handled correctly, it will be Facebook, email, Skype and damn near everything else to an entire generation of users.
Notch didn't really see it. He created the metaverse.
What I find interesting about all these services is they are sort of a democratization of how the affluent always lived. An ex of mine worked as a sort of housekeeper for a wealthy couple and those were all tasks she performed, and she even took the kids to their activities, something you would never trust a "ninja" from a random startup to do.
