    I am pretty sure they opened their excel sheet, ordered the employees by salary, and got rid of the highest paid 10% of each department. Or the lowest performing 10% based on a sco…

    I am/was mainly interested in Common Lisp. I might give Vim another try, that would be the best if it worked. I really don't like vscode

    I just wish a good IDE existed so I don't have to use Emacs. That's what made me drop lisp in the past. I would be happy with (neo)Vim setup as well, but that was way behind Emacs …

    I looked at the demonstration video and closed it after a couple of minutes. I don't see how this tool will replace git. Well, I think it won't

    Agreed, but you can put EC2 on that list as well

    Wealthsimple Tax is free too, and pretty good for simple use cases.

    This project is really cool, love it! How would someone start learning and implementing something like this? Like, I don't even know what keyword to put into Google. Are there any …

    This is pretty cool! I am also interested in game engine programming, but I am in the very beginning of the journey. Do you have any recommendation on voxel engine learning materia…

    How did you build your own data center? Is it in your house, or renting a place somewhere? How much did it cost? I would be curious about any details you can share.

    I'm in similar shoes as OP, want to do something else. I think I'm burned out, and don't have the way to fix it (e.g. taking a year long sabbatical) I was looking into a lot of the…

    Aren't they just killing competition? Maybe it's worth the 1bill in the long term (for them, not for the customers)
