A user might not know to look for that sort of thing. That's why we rely on regulators, safety standards, etc. I didn't even know what "immobilizer" meant in this context before he…

No, it's day trading and picking stocks which is betting against wall street firms, obviously that's not the way to go. But that's not all of investing. If you are diversified and …

I've played a bit with weggli, it's pretty useful for "grepping" an entire codebase for patterns (for example, to search for antipatterns in a codebase) Perhaps more capable but al…

Yeah it's definitely a balance--the big company-wide meetings can be good for context but could also be too broad in scope. On a couple occasions I've enjoyed medium-sized informal…

Google's own blog post is here, linked to from the article: https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/serverless/introducin... Looks like they use buildpacks, which is cool, did the f…

I would think if you depend on data stored in a container being persistent, it's an indication you really should be mounting a volume to the container and persisting the data there…

I completely agree--in my day-to-day, I'm very much in my head about the problem at hand. I respect folks who can keep the long-term vision in their sights while applying that to s…

Pretty sure they meant Guix the OS not the package manager. The OS uses GNU Shepherd. Of course if you install the package manager on another OS, you get whatever that OS chose for…

Which part of it is sad?

It's possible this is including many misclassified listings (e.g. hourly paid internships). Additionally, I've seen some listings for higher level jobs for absurdly low salaries ($…

For what it's worth, with many Hugo themes, it is possible to add a "Disqus" (or other provider) comment section to posts by simply adding a token to the static site's config file.…

I think you're being downvoted because the imprecision you speak of is a result of: consumer GPS receivers having a limited polling rate, limited precision, and only using one GPS …

Your assumption seems to be that if: 1) an existing language has finite utility 2) a language where any string is a valid program has no utility , that it must be true that utility…

I agree with other comments suggestions: - Use the app, see what is slow from a subjective UX perspective - Profile your code, find hotspots - Use system monitoring to determine if…

Phones probably don't interfere with medical equipment--patients use phones all the time with no issues. Not to mention most medical equipment is subject not only to the usual FCC …

I think this is what they were saying--pre-tax refers to traditional, post-tax to roth. Only traditional ira/401k reduces the marginal tax rate. So the decision to go for tradition…

If I don't publish my private SSH keys for all to see, am I being deceptive? No, I am protecting my interests. While I do prefer to know when Apple is acting in bad faith, this bla…

This got me interested so I brushed off my notes from grad school--GPS predecessors like the US Navy's Timation first used quartz oscillators, then graduated to atomic clocks in or…

I just tested this with a private repo and confirmed: currently if you search for text that appears only in old commits and was removed, I see nothing show up in the search. I woul…

In the US, you can do engineering work without having a PE, no licensing required, and any degree requirements are usually imposed by the company not regulations. There are only so…

Every now and then Gravity shows up on hn and it always makes me smile--a couple years ago I added some built-in array methods as one of my first forays into compilers and I had a …

Likewise, anyone that sells investing advice. Most make their money off of the service, not off of applying their knowledge, which really tells you their knowledge isn't worth much…

We have all been "idiots" at some point. Gatekeeping is how you kill a field by removing all the beginners who might one day produce the next big development.

And even cheaper is Amazon Lightsail starting at $3.50/mo, pretty hard to beat. I think for the amount of time spent managing a server and DNS things at home, these options may be …
