    You're agreeing with the comment you're replying to. The parent comment is saying the "playbook" doesn't say to give a date, and they've given one so absurdly soon that it's imposs…

    All of your examples are unique, distinct separate product and problem spaces, whereas Threads is pretty aligned with Instagram as-is. A lot of the plumbing for Instagram is likely…

    The average comment is more in-depth because there's a long history of thoughtful moderation by people like dang. The community has learned what the bar is, and now holds itself to…

    The benefit of buttons isn't in the response time, it's in the tactile feedback that makes it so you don't need 16ms response time. I heard it click, I felt it click, it clicked. I…

    The value of their assets was enough to cover deposits. The liquidity of those assets was not.

    If the server code is too complex, at least give me an OpenAPI spec (or equivalent) that the server must adhere to, so I can spin something simple up on a Raspberry PI to solve the…

    Just a friendly heads up, but Go Transit is also the name of the regional transit system in Southern Ontario, Canada (originally named GO Transit for Government of Ontario Transit,…

    I'm always fascinated by Dwarf Fortress whenever I cross paths with it, particularly from a technical architecture point of view. How did they architect the history simulation? How…
