It's not impossible, but I wouldn't say it's worth it. From my experience, there is more ageism in programming than there is in management so it would be even more difficult to find work, especially without prior experience.
> It may cause digestive distress. "People with dairy allergies or trouble digesting lactose [milk sugar] can experience gastrointestinal discomfort if they use a milk-based protein powder,"
What alternative do they suggest?
- 6 ounces of plain Greek yogurt
- a cup of milk
I know there are lactose free version of those, but there are also lactose free versions of the proteins...
What's the point? If you enjoy reading and reading for fun then you'll just read as much as is fun for you.
If you're reading professional books, then the quantity doesn't matter. I would rather spend a year with a single book like "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" revisiting chapters and reiterating same things to really absorb that knowledge than rush 1 book per week/month/whatever.
I don’t think the specific number is important and the theme of the post seems to be about reading more.
50 is just arbitrary and I still like it better than “how to read a lot of books each year.”
I don’t think the goal should be high quantity. But the goal should be developing a habit of reading and getting good information and/or pleasure from books.
True, but I see a trend where everybody is trying to "hack" reading by listening to audio books on 3x or other tricks which is a complete nonsense for professional books and absorbing the information.
I have one but it's been sitting in a drawer for a long time now. I went back to iPad Pro with Apple Pen as it's much easier to navigate around and I enjoy the color screen much more. It also allows me to use Miro or similar whiteboard tool. I personally regret buying it. The lag is more noticeable on an iPad, but that doesn't bother me.
Same experience. Very very disappointed by the software, and now they are making it even worse by locking more and more of it behind a paywall. The device was nearly 650$ for christ sake.
Dispatch during pattern matching happens at runtime, which requires some means of discriminating the matched values with run-time information. Typescript doesn't provide any more runtime type information than Javascript does, and so it can't see the difference between "Object" and "Object" unless the object has fields that allow it to, such as the class constructor or programmer-specified values.
I don't think that the compiler adding additional information to discriminate types other than what JS already provides fits with the design goals of Typescript being a language that only adds static typing.
It's true that methane has a much greater impact, but only in the short term. Long term, CO2 is much more dangerous. The methane that cow produces is recycled as it circulates through the atmosphere -> plants -> cows -> atmosphere cycle. Fossil fuel burning on the other hand is not. It's released from the ground and there's no way for it to get back there.
Nothing is ever black and white and to think that eliminating the animals as the food source would solve the problem is naive.
It's short term (12 years seems like before being reabsorbed) but this also means that we have this big static-ish chunk being renewed and absorbed in a cycle. If we reduce emissions then that static variable goes down and gives us more time on the other 100 things we need to figure out.
CO2 from fossil fuels can also be reabsorbed by plants. If you grow a forest, chop it down, bury the logs, then it's underground again. Although, not sure why you need it to be underground as long as it's not in the air.
I really like Firefox, but I had to switch back to Chrome because of resource usage. After using it for some time it got up to 3GB RAM consumption for a single tab with no plugins.
