Not just twitter, whatsapp, facebook, etc - the DNS system needs replacing too.

In a sense spiders are part of the problem - insect killers. I keep one in the kitchen window, and a little jumping one lives on the bedroom roof, migrates across to the windows a …

Why not just have casual conversations instead? Standups are one those things that people disagree on endlessly without discussing context - their worth depends on the team. On my …

You want change but without making any effort?

Psychology. Here in the UK the the lemming factor would kick in strongly - toilet paper, bicycles ... negative interest rate. The moment those words are uttered by the BBC you coul…

There's a clue in the title.

I consider Nim to be a better Go.

+1, -1, mod 2. My 25-ish year career.

Yes, it's in other countries too eg Australia and Netherlands.

It's not just about (big) scalability - redundancy. Cockroach 3 node cluster is a no brainer to setup, just runs. I see cockroach as far easier to work with than Cassandra, and mor…

Also "20 000 new cases" - out of how many tests? 20 000? 100 000? There are claims of some companies returning only positive results, others only negative. Also the data collection…

Overdo this and you will get mouldy walls.

I have no interest in being in the office. The commute is horrid and a waste of time. The socialising is insignificant. The water cooler never has more than one visitor at a time, …

I have a different account eg for hn on every device. I don't add my email and immediately forget my password, so the accounts are all disposable, and doomed. Karma has no value on…

The second half of your comment is exactly the experience I recently had when trying for the first time. I quit and built a container image instead.

I never get in before 10:30 because I refuse to use the tube before ~9:30. If it gets crowded while I'm on it I get off and wait. I have to extend my day accordingly. The transport…

Just to provide the opposite perspective, that sounds like my hell. A weekly catch-up, fine, and the rest of the time if I have anything worth chatting about I will. I can't stand …

If I'm not mistaken it's not the entire red series - it excludes 8TB.

To some degree depending on how productive they are externally, eg bee vs fox.

But you chose your profession, it wasn't assigned to you. You knew going in that either it's more about people, less about money if you're a nurse, or more money if you're a cardia…

Can the hardware not be upgraded? The article says the system is struggling with 400k people a week in new York. That's terribly slow. No overclocking?

Why would one downvote for disagreeing?
