SQL tricks: find duplicates

who said the platform isn’t useful

@dvassallo As a programmer a big part of your job is to know when it is good enough.

Basically, one way to help your site be accessible is to structure your content as if CSS doesn’t exist. A lot of users don’t navigate your site visually. Using this line of thinking will help a lot with #accessibility.

We have had solid testing tools for web apps for more than a decade, which enable programmers to keep legacy code maintained without the fear of breaking behavior.

And that’s why, about every two years, all code gets thrown away and rewritten in whatever framework is popular.

I made a #sketchnote to understand tensors, scalars, vectors, & matrices – the fundamentals of #machinelearning! (part 1 of ?) t.co/25t5jfSP5p

Right. So not only is WordPress 5.0 coming out Thursday, so is PHP 7.3. More plugin compatibility checks needed.

Happy early birthday to me (my birthday is Sunday)?

If you want to stay relevant as a software developer for the next ten years?

These are the 3 major things you should focus on:

1. The ability to work in a team.
2. Communication.
3. Coaching and uplifting those more junior than you.

Actually, if you’re on Safari it’s now green so look for that. But remember – if you’re on Chrome it’s now grey so look for that *unless* you haven’t updated to v69 which means look for green. Oh – if it’s Chrome on mobile then don’t look for it because it’s not there.

Also, you might be part of the Chrome experiment to deprecate that first thing which means you won’t see it but you can still trust us. Alternatively, if you’re on Safari then that thing is now gone altogether so don’t look for it.

Dear users, please stop looking for the thing you were always told to look for and now look for a different thing instead (but only in one browser). Also, read and understand the other thing that users are terrible at reading and understanding. twitter.com/myetherwallet/status…

– yes : maybe blockchain
– no / what : almost certainly not blockchain

Sometimes in meetings I ask for clarification on acronyms and abbreviations that junior engineers in the room are too nervous to ask.
