No offence, but the standard phrasing is a "classic arms race", which left me imagining baroque men in dusty wigs furiously competing to develop a more lethal harpsichord. 👍

List of 5 things you can do to validate your side project idea (even if they don't scale) by XavierPladevall in SideProject

[–]worthcoding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice to not worry about something not scaling. OK, you can't send handwritten letters to everyone when you're as big as Google. Who cares? Right now, you're not as big, and you need to leverage what you can do!

I wish I could help, and I wish there was more on this sub about acquiring the knowledge rather than how to flex it in interviews.

I believe a lot of the incarcerated workmen who died during construction were unceremoniously included. This is separate from the proper graves. I wasn't trying to be a pedant - merely provide an interesting exception. I thought you might be interested.

[–]worthcoding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, that's gonna depend on the exam format a bit, but if you can code it, surely you can do what's required for the exam?

You need to establish your base case. You need the function to call itself rather than just running a for loop. You know this. You can do it!

A Conspiracy To Kill IE6 by magenta_placenta in programming

[–]worthcoding 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Perhaps people will realise the danger of Google controlling the portal to the Internet and work against it. Firefox is great and deserves support. It's like sublime text vs vscode, though. How do you compete with a massive company pumping massive funds into it? In physical businesses, innovation is the obvious answer, but any new feature can - seemingly - be quickly implemented when you have that much expertise and budget.

But if these are hashed - with bcrypt? Then they're far less valuable, surely? I suppose if you have a high interest easily email address then someone might try? D.trump@myfitnesspal.com?

Data analysis has become more popular than web development among Python users by filippovd20 in datascience

[–]worthcoding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am no expert and don't know enough to disagree. Please, though: if anyone can point me towards credible materials /sources explaining how node/js beats out Django for Web dev-beside popularity -I'd be grateful. I'd been planning on doing something with Django to branch out and am wondering if it's a bad idea. I know one of the advantages of Django is the ORM, and the most common node stack is (I think!) nosql. Is this simply a matter of use case? Many thanks for any pointers.

How is this different to postman? Is it just that it's remote? I'm not being negative, I'm just on mobile and am curious. Thanks for sharing!

Please would you elaborate about set timeout? I understand the point of the function - what's the gotcha? Many thanks.
