Don't use the form. Use the legal way to quit any contract in your country. For instance that means sending a paper letter to their offices with the postal service confirming that …

For some reason kubernetes community doesn't like docker. I'm not sure why, though. Afaik Docker was what started the whole container hype, and docker-swarm having some nice featur…

I think the bigger point in the future will be not AI beating known gambling activities (gambling in the sense that you put in money and have a random outcome about whether you get…

This is more about historical AI challenges. When Chess was beat people realized painfully and happily that they can't beat Go with the same approach. Therefore it was the new Moun…

Which is not much, if you could've gotten $500M more in investments. My experience is the complete opposite of Tim Ferris Wisdoms TM. If you are where the money is at, you have vas…

> It's not just safety and security that must be provided, but social inclusion as well Isn't it curious that we need to provide this as external source of safety? I'm not disagree…

Have I missed it or are there no results in the article? First he has a long intro, which is nice. Then he goes way over board explaining his data and code. Then he talks about his…

Well, it's always a trade-off. When you inline stuff that is in separate functions you certainly increase the debuggability and readability and maybe even the performance of that o…

you can try to find likeminded people on Mastodon (also currently on HN front page, an open source, federated twitter clone) or scuttlebut (imo more decentralized even, but quite f…

Until now the destruction of jobs through progress has never reduced the amount of work we needed altogether. For instance think about how the development of transportation created…

Storage and network stability is much higher if you run it on top of Openstack. k8s on baremetal is a pain in the butt. Disadvantage is that you have even more layers of abstractio…

I think you can have both situations. I still remember a talk from a Google person maybe around 2010 where he showed clearly that if you try to make the data "better" but in genera…

It seems like the dissonance you felt from reading comes from the article being written more in a business style of writing and thinking rather than a technical style which you are…

Shortly after 2008 till around 2017 was when Silicon Valley, HN, and the start-up world in general surged heavily. Now I think most people agree it's behind it's ceiling point. (mo…

> in my experience [slackers are] rare (and 100% protected by management) Can you give an example of how you see slackers being protected by management? I wonder if we have the sam…

Well, naturally every company has talent drain. The rockstars will not work long in one company and jump from one gig to the next. But if you have bad luck and hired some slackers,…

I'd guess: They are symbol of order and a source of income for the police.

I think it's the very best dungeon crawler when it comes to comfort of use and startability for new players. And I would suggest it not just for gamers but for programmers as well.…

It's also not the first dashboard with this situation. phpMyAdmin or what it's called, back in the days of LAMP stacks that was deployed almost everywhere without much security aro…

I don't know why people say that. You don't support Windows XP and Windows 10 either with the same binary. In contrast to Windows you can provide or pay someone to provide libcurl3…

That is why mostly people with wealthy parents will attempt med school. You can trust me, I lived with med students in a living coop for some time. Where CS students rent an apartm…
