That sounds amazing. I aspire to get a setup like yours. I am on a Pixel with the stock OS and I can't stand the way Google is pushing AI into everything on my phone. I haven't swi…

I've seen some pretty good React codebases and I've seen plenty of backend spaghetti code. In all cases it's not the tools, it's the programmers and usually it's layers and layers …

I disagree. With classes, everything was stateful (because, y'know, classes). People were doing all sorts of crazy thing with the lifecycle methods and it was always a pain to have…

Tell that to the gatekeeping engineers who think otherwise.

> most great engineers will actively work with management to make sure they're not single points of failure! Sure, but that is a load bearing "great" for sure. Not every company is…

This comment really nicely captures how I feel about this. There's something to be said about good faith and knowing what the spirit of the agreement is. There are some comments he…

Yeah I came away feeling like this was clickbait. Based on the title I expected to read something about the app stores quietly injecting telemetry in your extension or something li…

Ahh as someone who has built several scraping applications, I feel their pain. It's a constant battle to keep your scraper working.

Bloody shame, OpsWorks was a great service in my experience. I built a few clusters with it before Kubernetes and terraform were a thing. That said, I heard from folks at AWS that …

> Back when I was a junior developer, there was a smoke test in our pipeline that never passed. I recall asking, “Why is this test failing?” The Senior Developer I was pairing with…

Well yes, and many do! Most cities now have vision zero movements in part because of this.

> They won't exceed speed limits. Uhh, about that... > Tesla allows self-driving cars to break speed limit, again - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jan/16/tesla-all...

So do you think anything should be legal on the roads by default? I think there is a clear and obvious justification for why we don't let anyone drive anything on the roads: safety…

> as evidenced by the literally free taxi service that is just being given out to many people in SF right now. You realize that it's only free while they test and it's not going to…

One of the four commissioners (John Reynolds) of the California Public Utilities Commission who voted to approve the expansion previously worked at Cruise [1]. I'm not sure about t…

Looks like oil industry astroturfing [1] to me. The group that published this (GWPF) is basically an anthropogenic climate change denying lobby group that refuses to reveal its fun…

It's surprisingly difficult to separate salt from water to the point that it's drinkable. That difficulty translates to it being very costly and that cost is so prohibitive that mo…

You're referring to [this]( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/3949367_The_evolved... ) Which was also really cool! > As with Thompson's FPGA exploiting some subtle physical …

I agree it's hopeful. Creating more renewable energy is part of the path forward. But this doesn't solve all of our problems. We still have many other resource and pollution proble…

> Humans are freaking incredible, miracles that boggles the mind to consider how we even exist. I'm not sure why we pretend otherwise. This cuts both ways. We're super special at b…

This really resonated with me: > This kind of language is omnipresent in local politics. Where I am, one candidate wants “to restore … decision-making for all residents and busines…

It's a bit distressing reading this and thinking of all the sleep debt I've had, especially in my late teens and early 20's when I had school and started a career. Especially my te…
