Never. It never makes sense to me, why would I want to carry around another computer to read? Why can’t I unplug and enjoy my book? I tried it, it sucked and management was even wo…

DragonFlyBSD would be really interesting here as well since its kernel has Light Weight Kernel Threads that use message passing. Similar in shape to Erlang/BEAM. Though I guess you…

So we burn the planet up to deploy individually craft UIs on demand? I mean, I've read your comment three times, and I just don't see it. If we end up in that future, we're doomed.…

Here[0] is a talk that shows off some of these tools. Mark led the way on many of these ideas internally. [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGcaofDq8SM

Well many of them you may know in that they made their way into so many systems (though arguably without the refined UX of Heroku) but the two that come up the most and I am teachi…

I agree with everything you said, and can only thank the founders for their tremendous insight and willingness to push the limits. The shear number of engineering practices we take…

Yeah I think there is a lot of truth here. You can't solve all the problems and in Heroku's case we focused on user experience (internally and externally). Great ideas like "git pu…

It is hard to explain the impact of such massive growth over a 2-3 period. New features were coming online while old ones were being abused by overuse. For instance, we launched Po…

Haha, funny you should mention that as I was just telling a coworker that story as we worked on a new dashboard for our infrastructure. :D

I remember Solomon's demoing at All Hands... it was such a crazy time for tech and innovation.

It remains the greatest engineering team I've ever seen or had the pleasure to be a part of. I was only there from early 2011 to mid 2012 but what I took with me changed me as an e…

You are still selecting one verse to interpret an entire culture. Misleading at best. And saying this is "white washing history" is silly. Continue reading the Bible and you'll see…

Cherry picking the bible isn't going to get you any closer to understanding. There are a lot of reasons God ordained society in a certain way. Keep reading and you'll discover that…

Yeah I'd like to continue playing the game. Perhaps 10 verses before the limit kicks in to save on resources?

This document by Dr. Cook remains _the standard_ for systems failure. Thank you for bringing it into the discussion.

A natural consequence of a system that promotes radical individuality, false scarcity, fear of missing out, greed, and violence. Win at all costs.

One way to think about it is that we were created to be in a loving relationship with God. The same way we were created to breathe oxygen. It is designed to be that way. But we're …

I don’t think it is so much “unquestioning loyalty and trust” but a loving relationship with the creator of the universe. It is hardly a distinction without difference. The story c…

If you can’t or won’t see the truth in the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ I pray that it is revealed to you and you have life changing faith. Either way, be blessed i…

God, who is referred to as love, created beings in his image to tend to his creation, and to be in a love relationship with him. He himself created out of a loving relationship (re…

Except the God of the Bible picked all three. That is what makes it the greatest story ever told. :)

Yes, out of love he gave us the agency and dignity to choose not to be in a love relationship with him. Faith in Jesus Christ and the arrival of the Kingdom of God to set things ri…

It is absolutely not a "clean break". While Judaism and Christianity are distinct, they are related in that Christianity builds on the Hebrew Scriptures. I think perhaps the best i…

This is answered throughout scriptures. The problem of sin is human's rejection of the goodness of God. We love ourselves more than we love him and in that rejection regularly adva…

Thoughts like this miss the purpose and significance of the maxim being discussed. Science doesn't disprove an "almighty, unexplainable divine entity" any more than an "almighty, u…
