Both of these extremes to me are both just lack of actual leadership. A real leader should absolutely value and respect the input of their team, but also know when to just say “of …

It’s not quite the same, many people with hearing loss only lose hearing on part of the spectrum, so it’s not just about making things louder, it’s about making the specific freque…

Decay implies simple neglect, vs deliberate actions that make the platforms or systems worse, sometimes out of incompetence, but often because the companies objectives no longer al…

Location: Brantford (Toronto area, Canada) UTC-5 Remote: Yes Willing to relocate: No Technologies: C#, F#, Scala, Spark, Python, Elasticsearch, Data Engineering in general, some ML…

Not particularly good though. I did a fair bit of looking at them and tried a few on loan a couple years ago. At the time at least, you have to set up an electronic fence to set bo…

I don’t think this is particularly representative, since most Canadian companies that hire outside of Canada (even in the same time zone) are doing it because they can pay less. Pr…

This seems like either a regional and/or phase of life difference. As a homeowner in Canada for example, I often have need to find contractors for home items for example, like I ju…

The tone of your comment seems to indicate you think this is obviously a bad thing? Prescriptions would just be doctors recommendations in this case. There could still be mechanism…

Azure has this too, you can have what they somewhat confusingly call subscriptions, which are logical units with their own billing, limits and permissions inside and organizations …

Do a lot of people really use the UI of any of the cloud services? Most people want managed infra, which means at least cli scripts if not terraform. Not arguing the Azure UI is am…

For what it’s worth there is a tabular view that has more item detail. Things like marketplace subscriptions can often appear as Other in the graph. I’m pretty happy with azure. I’…

People often seem to equate retirement, as in you no longer need to do things you don’t want to do just for money, to assume that those people are going to sit around all day. Peop…

In the 80s and 90s (when I grew up) there was still a sense that technology was capable and going to be empowering people and making lives better, healthier, more convenient. Even …

I agree. The whole article is pinned on the idea that infinite economic growth is not only possible, but critical. Even given that premise, it assumes that population growth is req…

It’s actually worse than that. I would hardly count myself among the best, but I’m certainly experienced and would absolutely love to try and fix the absolutely appalling state of …

I was also very pleasantly surprised by K6. The load tests are written in JavaScript, the api is super clean. It’s command line only, but the command line output is really readable…

I don’t know what they are like in California, but where I live in Canada developers are generally disliked because 1) They tend to build houses not communities, for example it’s r…

Because most of the reasons modern settlement is T+2 and cross jurisdiction trading is extremely complex is about regulations in those jurisdictions and various forms of counter pa…

Or F# if you want a wider ecosystem, it’s based on Ocaml and has many nice functional features, but you can utilize any .net code you want

The logical conclusion is that THOSE ads don’t work, not that ads don’t work in general. I am no fan of digital advertising, but there is a lot of variation on ad platform, targeti…

I would like to point out that you also appear to be making sweeping statements. I don’t agree with you that colocated teams have an inherent advantage, or that they require more m…

I would add that sometimes there are some truly magical food experiences lurking in there if you have an open mind, and Michelin restaurants are a good place to try new things. A f…

Unfortunately like many areas of medicine (at least in Canada), sleep specialists will do a sleep study, and unless your sleep is sues fall cleanly inside a condition they can trea…

I think the psychology of pay raises and inflation is interesting. I’ve never heard anyone when inflation was low taking about how their 20% pay raise (from moving to another compa…

I'm surprised by the negative reaction to this in some of the comment. I don't think this is an attack on modern medicine or drugs, but I think it resonates because it highlights t…
