Some degree of ownership over the code you write is inevitable and probably healthy. You should care about the things you build! But that doesn’t mean you have any actual ownership. The codebase you spend time on at work is the company’s codebase, and they can do whatever they want with it. You should communicate the risks and consequences of decisions, but ultimately it’s not your call.

The Color Theory Behind Industrial Seafoam Green

Pretty pictures! Reminds of Merveilles' seafoam green and of Soviet half-wall-tall colouring. Due to the latter, this colour also bears additional doomer connotations.

I wonder if this colour could work well in computer UIs? Does it work the same on glowing screens?

Platypus is a developer tool that creates native Mac applications from command line scripts such as shell scripts or Python, Perl, Ruby, Tcl, JavaScript and PHP programs. This is done by wrapping the script in a macOS application bundle along with an app binary that runs the script.

We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB). It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.

Following are the main red flags in test assignments that should be avoided:

• The assignment was read and understood in full.

• All parts are implemented.

• Industry-standard tools and frameworks are used.

• The code is split into small, readable functions.

• Variables have descriptive names.

• Complex parts have comments.

• Errors are handled, error messages are easy to follow.

• Source files are organized reasonably.

• The web interface looks nice.

• There are tests.

По итогам теста выяснилось, что разница в деградации батарей между моделями с ультрабыстрой (120 Вт) и стандартной (18 Вт) зарядкой составила в среднем всего 0,3 %. Это позволяет сделать вывод, что использование мощных зарядных устройств практически не влияет на износ аккумулятора в долгосрочной перспективе.

Во второй серии тестов проверялось, насколько полезно поддерживать уровень заряда в диапазоне от 30 % до 80 %. Сравнение с режимом полной разрядки до 0 % и зарядки до 100 % показало преимущество «умеренного» режима. При этом разница в состоянии батарей составила 2,5 %.

The other day, on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, a neighbor I hadn’t seen in a long time said hello as she walked past the house. “I hope your family is doing well,” she said, and then looked concerned. “As well as you can do in times like these. You must be even more worried, with kids.“
“Uh, well,” I said, “The kids live in the present, and we try to enjoy the present.”

Inside I was thinking: “This is why liberals are so sad.”
