Foreigner living in Berlin. Ticket inspectors are civilized and polite. Altercations and provocations are rare. Given my observations, I will take this news report with a BIG pinch…

15-16 inch is my comfort zone. Anything else is too small and my eyes hurt and bigger than that is unwieldy.

Interesting. Worth taking a look at

CloudFormation, with its HORRIBLE YAML templating (whatever dsl/language) and arcane error messages is a horror story. I hate it so much that I'd rather quit my job than debug why …

Would be an achievement if they even retain 1% of it as active users.

You can be a good Developer AND a nice human being. The choice is not either or. That is the goal one should strive for, not to decide between shooting down a PR or checking-in bad…

But isn't BBC itself a propaganda arm for the UK ? So now they simply hate it cause they have competition ?

Salem gundu and banganapalli FTW !

Go nuclear.

So I could be banned for sharing a document that says 'Google is evil' ?

Zerohedge is severely anti-Elon Biased. He might be at fault for many things, but this is just a first gen product that hopefully improves in the next generations.

hardware development as a service. atleast a virtualized micro-controller so that people can build tiny devices with sensors, peripherals etc like we build web apps on AWS. As a so…

I would differentiate between non CEO founders and founders CEOs. Non-founder CEOs are subject to the whims and fancies of the board (institutions). I am disappointed that Yale wit…

Individuals are more ready to take risks than institutions. To me this was the most damning indictment of all. Once founders leave a compnay (or an institution), as BalajiS says, t…

IMHO Static typing => structure, not necessarily Map (which is also a type). Shaping data is quite important and having an associative array doesn't necessarily means that the data…

> This is what I run into. But that's not exactly a dynamic language problem. It's more of a data-oriented programming (in the Clojure sense) problem. Yes, all dynamic languages ha…

``` breaking things up into small isolated components that can be reasoned about independently ``` - This is insufficient for the same reasons unit tests are not enough and you als…

I wrote Clojure for 4 years. I understand your pain points. Dynamic types are an impediment beyond a certain code size.

Restrictions apply to plebians only. Patricians are always exceptions :)

"Pending approval from your manager/lead" - Corporate doublespeak for Don't even think about going full time remote. We are going to drag you back kicking and screaming.

When you can't even define `AI` clearly, how do you expect to understand it and regulate it ? The draft law says any logic or knowledge based systems - This could mean anything fro…

Berlin tried to "regulate" rent prices and failed spectacularly. Created 2 markets and prices shot through the roof (Source: I live in Berlin) Eu tried to regulate advertising and …

Ironic coming from a website like fstoppers. What exactly is the "value" of fine art photography ? Why do people pay exorbitant amounts for basically a few hours of photos during t…
