This. # Before abolishing time zones I want to call my Uncle Steve in Melbourne. What time is it there? Google tells me it is currently 4:25am there. It's probably best not to call…

Oh, for sure. I picked a source that had a lot of opinions that differed from mine as to consciously oppose my bias :) Thanks for the other links!

FWIW, IIT is an extremely prestigious school system in India that has historically been geared toward the upper echelon of Indian society like private and ivy league schools have b…

Warning: very little knowledge of Rust and Iron Can someone explain why there is an extra Ok(...) in this? (I want to call it a function, but I'm not even familiar enough with Rust…

Just as an opposite anecdote, I find that I run into it all the time. Sometimes, its from people that are outside of the tech industry itself. Sometimes, it is from people that don…

I don't disagree with the premise that double clicks are a broken thing on the web. There's too much of a cognitive shift between "the web" and "everything else" where double click…

The Knowledge is the book that every library and "End of the World" kit should have in it.

Not entirely sure what you're asking, but you should probably look into "schedulers" and other tools built on top of such ecosystems. Here are a few to get you started: Docker ecos…

Your functional test was a test that allowed you to experiment. You designed the parameters and then altered the variables involved under the conditions of those tests. You probabl…

Writing the test is the experiment, in your example. You're playing with how it is going to be used and interacted without worrying about the details/implementation. You'll take ca…

Thanks for the story. It's something to consider when being conscientious about these things. I think a possible difference is that asking someone to share their experience directl…

I agree with everything you said. I was specifically speaking about people that pontificate about things they have no legitimate claim to have experienced. Being a Latin@ in the Un…

This is easy to beat: just go to the source. If there's a howling white man going on about injustice and how he's going to tell you about the struggles of women of color, First Nat…

Thanks for the insight. Do you know anything about "downward" shots. That is, bullets that go from the head towards the toe in line with the body. There were several in this case (…

The point is less about the specifics of the shooting (I think it was probably justified.. though 14 seems excessive) and more about the context surrounding it. Community dynamics …

We actually use slack (and hipchat, and jive, and whatsapp, and groupme, and skype, and who-knows-what-else.. ugh) for communications that we would consider sanitized for public co…

This saddens and frustrates me as a user. I love screenhero and it does its job well. I've used it for all of my remote interactions over the past year or so and was a happy paying…

Not entirely sure, but I think that's because it's a self-signed certificate.

This team is attempting to fix just that for email: https://pixelated-project.org/

It is because the men are behind the curtains making the actual money: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-15-wealthiest-people-in-f... (Note: everyone there is a white old dude, ot…

Just as a single data counterpoint, my recruiting experience with Netflix was below par. It may have been the way that I was approached (from a friend who was also an engineer) . H…
