Kilometres Davis posted:I still keenly remember the presentation they showed us in first year Uni showing people with masters degrees make more than phds, and are less likely to be rejected for being overqualified. were they correcting for amount of industry experience, or was it essentially just saying "doing actual work for X years will get you more promotions than spending those X years on a phd"?

He said he found it easier to read maybe he just has lovely eyesight Proportional fonts are overall easier to read, yes. Comic Sans, though, still seems incredibly weird.

less poo poo to worry about is huge. even if you do want to run on your own hardware for some reason, you should probably structure it as an internal cloud so that the people developing your applications don't need to care about managing actual machines, and the people taking care of the machines don't need to care about what the developers are doing. (if you're small enough that that sounds way too complicated for you, you should probably just be using someone else's cloud)

That sounds horrible. The point of tests is to help you tell when something is an (unexpectedly) breaking change. If you need to change the tests for every single non-breaking change as well, the tests are providing no value.

it's really tempting to want to use them for stuff like immutable value types, especially if they happen to match your wire types anyway. (what, are you going to write them once as a proto, a second time as an AutoValue, plus write converters?) but you'll inevitably run into an immutable value type that can't be a proto, and now you have two totally incompatible ways of doing immutable value types in your codebase. not sure what the best solution is tbh

Storing serialised protobufs is just fine. What you'll want to be careful with is if you want to actually query your data (e.g. "look up all the things where foo = 12") - at that point you want a database, not just a bunch of files. e: talking to cinci

meatpotato posted:* uint16_t or int16_t for things that are 16 bit data off of hardware, like PCM audio samples for example. No real point using these for the result of operations because it'll probably* be faster to use 32 bit or 64 bit on modern hardware anyway. doesn't c have stuff like uint_fast16_t for this reason?

rewriting history on master should absolutely not be part of your normal workflow. if someone pushes some sensitive information that shouldn't be there, there should be a way to remove it, but it should involve contacting someone who administers the server, and also writing a retrospective on how that sensitive information got there to begin with and what process changes can be made to prevent a similar fuckup from happening in the future. do whatever you like on your local vcs, though. that one's yours. the thing everyone else cares about is what commits you're pushing to master, which should absolutely not be your half-broken wip commits

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:you can use a lookup table like you suggest (join tables) but honestly you'll probably be fine just using a single character as your gender column and then using a separate table with no foreign key that identifies all the gender settings for a specific company, which will be a tuple like (company_id, code, description). obviously using a join table is "more correct" but constantly doing joins for some things is pointless. especially if they have changes, like say a company had A, B and C available, but then decided C isn't an option anymore. So now you'll also have to implement a "deleted" column and it all ends up being a lot of work when you could just use a column, and performance will probably be better avoiding the joins. Yes, I'm sure that querying for an id and then manually doing a join on the client is going to be way more efficient than getting your relational database to do it.

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:the idea is you don't need a join at all, ever. the thing you described (make a column with a synthetic value, use it to look up data in another table if you need that data) is literally a join you're just pointlessly doing it in the client instead of in the database

often the things i need to debug involve them happening a whole bunch of times, but is only going wrong one of those times. so if you wanted to use a debugger, you'd either have to come up with a conditional breakpoint expression that only triggered in the failure case (and if you knew enough about the problem to be able to write that, you probably don't need to step through it in a debugger - often the problem only becomes apparent well after the point you want to start investigating values), or work through all the non-failing cases first before you get to the interesting one. so it's easier to add a bunch of logging, reproduce the issue, then read the entrails to divine what went wrong

The good thing about c++ is that someone who really understands it can write abstractions the are only a little bit leaky. This means that you, as the person writing code to actually do a thing, can just use them without caring what's under the hood too much. If you have someone who doesn't understand it that well or is just a little bit lazy writing your abstractions though, you're in for a bad time.

if your service needs transient working storage, k8s handles it just fine. if your service needs persistent storage, it shouldn't be doing it itself, it should talk to a different service or a database or something which handles that.

Xarn posted:So how does the DB handle its storage? very carefully but essentially, the point is if a service is responsible for persisting data, that's the *only* thing it should be responsible for. no processing, no business logic, purely persisting data for your other services to use and since that's not specific to your business domain, ideally you let someone else do the heavy thinking on that part

You should make a deprecation and turndown plan, and send it to everyone (especially the c++ grognards). After about a month of no-one actually looking at the plan, then you can start switching the system off using your previously-written plan (that no-one objected to) as justification.
