    I’ve done some of my own electric work and the logic isn’t dissimilar to what we do. Just way less abstract, way slower, and way simpler. I found it kind of interesting.

    This. I think Amazon is doing the same thing and leaving the door open for Walmart or another player with some logistical muscle to take a bunch of the market from them. Amazon sea…

    Edited to a week. I was actually shocked how quickly my in-laws got power back with how widespread the destruction was and how many of the roads are out. They have well water so as…

    At least last time I looked into starlink it most definitely cannot. Definitely more ideal for very rural or very poor areas where you are gonna be one of a few dishes. That may ha…

    Despite the hate on the promo the tech they offer is still pretty cool. Only way I knew my in-laws were safe near Asheville was because one of their neighbors had starlink and a ge…

    Ask HN: What are you using for request (or access) logging?

    We have a spring boot app and have always used logback access logging, but logback no longer plays nice with Jetty and the timeline for when that will be fixed is unclear. What do …

    I just switched to Bruno because apparently if you have a secret in the “initial values” column it uploads it to their cloud automatically. It is cool so far. I like that it is mor…

    That makes sense. I'm thinking for awhile I am just gonna assume my coworker is right and learn how to do it right. Then make another judgement call on whether I like it.

    Thanks for all the sources. It will take me awhile to digest them all.

    This is really helpful and makes a lot of sense. My coworker who harps on it does have a hardcore math background so your generalization definitely holds true in my experience.

    The example you gave is obviously superior for the reason you mention, but what about just one where you are mutating the objects in the given list? Isn't the for loop and an if a …

    Ask HN: Explain to me why functional programming is better like I'm stupid

    I have a coworker who really harps on functional programming. To me the block of .map(x).ifelseget().etc() is so much harder to read than defining and mutating variables, if/switch…

    Ask HN: Software Engineer Certifications That Mean Something?

    I know my manager is going to push a cert as part of my goals again this year. Last year I did AWS Certified Solutions Architect and got a lot out of what I learned. Criteria for "…

    I know Bandwidth offers a reduced leave if you have under a year of tenure and Celonis offers full leave day 1, but I wondered if there were others.

    I mean, if someone is trying to get pregnant, they don’t know if it will be tomorrow or in several years. Losing your leave because you moved companies and got pregnant at the same…

    Ask HN: What companies offer maternity/paternity leave immediately?

    I have observed that most companies don't offer their leave benefits until you have a year of service at the company. Also, companies don't really advertise the specifics of their …

    Yeah I assumed this was a camunda competitor (a bpmn workflow product), but it seems like it is not that.

    If you can agree that it is objectively true that it is state funded, why are you uncomfortable with labeling it as such?

    Comment #37909659

    Agreed with both of you actually. I enjoy NPR and I certainly agree that it allows for both sides at times. However, it is a fact it is state funded (it is in the name) and I think…

    Comment #37909636

    So your argument is that it’s okay not to label it as state funded (which it most certainly is) because other media companies are? And you feel the best course of action is to cont…

    Maybe it’s a hot take (I didn’t think so until the violent reaction) but I felt the label was accurate. I like NPR a lot , but certainly the fact that liberal policymakers vote in …

    If a project is going to reject a “pointless improvement” then it is gonna be tough for any new contributors to get traction in the code base.
