Let them own index funds only. Individual stock holding is not an investment in the economic well-being of the country

Honestly you are the first person I’ve ever heard that prefers chromes tab system. Check out tree style tabs it’ll change your life. I hate chrome now solely due to it

Being the scale of Amazon has nothing to do with whether or not fault-tolerance is important to an application. In fact, amazon has far fewer real needs for fault-tolerance than ma…

It depends - usually moving computation closer together is much more performant. You may be underutilizing your DB or spending a lot of roundtrips on networking and this is a good …

yeah this is where traits instead of hierarchies become useful - I should be able to implement the Hash interface for an object I do not own and then use that object + trait going …

It’s not an oof moment at all - this decrease in valuation is inline (actually less) than most of their peers in the same time frame. The economy is very different from when they l…

I mean the british invented the word soccer to describe the sport. They also created the sport itself (in its modern iteration and rules).

But the upgrade....didnt go as planned? In what way was it a misrepresentation? It was certainly generic but definitely not exaggerated. Felt fine for an editorialized title

There is no crime wave. I’m an SF resident and lived in SOMA for much of Covid. This is mostly manufactured BS and does not justify surveillance by an irresponsible police force wh…

perhaps if you are driven and understand what you are supposed to be working on remote work is not a tall order. School, on the other hand, is not intrinsically as interesting as w…

To be fair, you could just give them the question ahead of time. Email them 3 days before their interview with the question and say see you soon. That is much closer to actual cond…

look at companies like dataminr or plenty - they have taken over a billion dollars in funding afaik. That level of cash is pretty rare for successful companies from what I see. 100…

Stripe is actively moving away from Ruby to Java. All new services must be written in Java

This isn't really targeted for small devices - its very very applicable with large computers in datacenters (id argue those machines will benefit even more from this). Any time you…

iphone theft is still incredibly routine. The anti-theft features are not a sufficient deterrent

Appreciate your response but disagree with the premise that > That's how much everything, from infrastructure to land use to feed to water to labour to delivery costs for the same …

not exactly - cattle farming is very very heavily subsidized. The true price is definitely not baked in

What solution wouldn't require its own specification + quirks? Whether its a Dockerfile or nix package I don't see the difference besides people tend to be familiar with only 1 of …

Its culturally acceptable to shame drunk drivers, smokers (in public spaces), and more. Im not necessarily agreeing we should but it certainly follows that shaming people for endan…

you must be running tiny containers - I spin up a dozen containers and run a few tests every day. The entire test suite takes 45 minutes on my mac and 25 on linux. Docker for mac p…

Until the data store you grabbed is written in Ruby too :)

Do you really think there wasnt a single person identifying as a Democrat who opposed acquisitions? Not everything is black and white - voting for Obama does not force you to agree…

I've heard the same thing about C and why is C++ or Java necessary. Ultimately, I believe programming languages should strive to prevent mistakes early on in the lifecycle of a pro…

> you have failed to sufficiently explain This is the problem right here. I don't just read code I've written and I don't only read perfectly abstracted code. When I am stuck readi…

> They could not actually do this in Rust. They had to cheat. That isn't true at all. The implementation of scoped_threadpool being in rust is all the evidence you need that they d…
