This is the best analogy I've read to explain what's going on and takes me back to the days of Doom and how it was so transformative at the time. Perhaps in time the current genera…

it's the best comment in the entire post IMHO and made me LOL

That's fair but look at the assumptions currently built into NVDA's stock price. Hard to say for certain but to some it's priced as if it has a monopoly on all things AI for a deca…

I feel validated by this headline/post. I've said the same thing over and over in my career and am always astounded when I get pushback on using them as a means to describe systems…

Uh yeah, Peter, I'm gonna need you to stop commenting on Hacker News and get back to work... mmmkay?

That's actually not true. There's at least one other product at MS that uses ruby... Yammer. Although I'm not sure how much more incentive that would add for MS.

Like a couple of other mutual friends who've posted here, I've known Bob about 20 years. We met at a conference and became friends. While we never worked together we'd talk about w…

It was stupid to not hedge that interest rate risk. I mean, the Fed telegraphed their moves well in advance. I don't work in finance but it doesn't take a genius to see how that dy…

LOL this is amazing! I love Japan :)

Tether came out in 2014. This is a pretty good overview of all that's happened and why the parent's comment is actually relevant. https://www.theverge.com/22620464/tether-backing-c…

Take a look at Cloud66. Been using it for every project over the last 10 years or so... It's like Heroku except you can control a lot more and not get locked into "enterprise" pric…

Your comment added nothing of value to this discussion. Replying and telling someone that you appreciate their "feelings" while ignoring the points made may make you feel good, but…

Organic demand growth is what we want, not this Frankenstein economy that's been created since at least 2008 if not earlier. Demand doesn't boost GDP, producing real goods and serv…

I think what's being talked about here is the back end implementation for ActionCable. By default it uses ruby threads to push over open web sockets. There's at least one productio…

That's what you took away from my response? So what? It's not a problem that this kind of behavior is enabled and hurting the integrity of what the majority of people rely on for a…

The idea that he only hurt himself is simply not true. Behavior like this distorts markets and price discovery. Speaking of discovery (DISCK/DISKA), that's one of the stocks he bou…

Stock buybacks end up being nothing other than a transfer of wealth from taxpayers to shareholders because anytime something happens the government steps in bails them out because …

My exact reaction as well. Or how about all that money used for stock buy backs over the last decade? Intel especially. It's been mismanaged and now it's putting its hand out for g…

Exceptionally well written with more than one Big Lebowski reference but one minor correction... "Since then, as Jeff Lebowski explains to Maude between hits on a postcoital roach,…

They should've announced this last Thursday :)

Nice job getting something built and launched. That in and of itself is a huge accomplishment, so congrats to you! I know everyone has opinions and feature requests but to me the t…

Absolutely. You sound like someone that could really be of benefit to my latest startup. We're doing bigly things. If you're interested in finding out more drop me a line... gator3…

"they need to switch from being the person with all the answers to the person with all the questions" So eloquently put. I'm going to steal that :)

One tactic I've used successfully is to require each to swap roles and defend the other's position. This should build the empathy required to find common ground.
