    Just reeks of incompetence. Do they not have e2e smoketests of this stuff?

    I read that they pushed a new configuration file, so possibly they don't consider that a "software update" and pushed it to everyone. Which is obviously insane. If I am publishing …

    So how do people handle this in practice if the users table in this example has a ton of traffic? It might not ever succeed even with exponential backoff. It also seems strange tha…

    I'm in a really similar position to you. I'm currently engineer #1 at a seed stage startup making $155k with 1.5% equity. But a year in I'm realizing I've built their entire produc…

    Oracle Park is kind of uniquely great, though. Amazing views and right next to public transportation. The more typical experience is something like Kauffman Stadium, where the only…

    I use the same technique to maintain a json file mapping Slack channel names to channel IDs, as Slack for some reason doesn't have an API endpoint for getting a channel ID from its…

    It has that same problem actually: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36458300 And according to the article, the issue isn't that TS doesn't realize it's the same object, it's th…

    Of course, but the conversation here is why does macOS not support this natively?

    It's much worse than Ubuntu or Windows though. I just want to snap a window to the sides. The macOS solution forces you to go full screen to snap.

    Someone using to vs too is not misspelling a word; they don't know the difference between two words. That's a grammar mistake. Would you say this is a misspelling? "I hope they sha…
