This is weird thought where your solution to the problem is just "have the people on the team be better." The entire phenomena exists because people that see how important these th…

The lack of parties and happy hours is music to my ears, personally. I can't stand these events, and they often work in the service of this strange social construct that we all kno…

Someone else can find the source, but Netflix themselves have stated that the lions share of viewing on their platform is aimed at TV shows, so it doesn't surprise me that they hav…

Can anyone help me understand why we're even performing studies like this anymore? It would seem that all these years of "x can cause cancer" studies have just revealed that we gen…

I think it comes down to performance measurement being a really weak area for many companies. No one really knows whats real when it comes to output over a 40 hour week, and so bos…

I'm glad someone else mentioned it. Thought it might just be my imagination.

A friend of mine is making thousands per month simply selling notification bot subscriptions to people who run private discords. His don't even buy, they just send stock notificati…

As someone who used Percona in production, its fantastic for a small/medium workload, (depending on your definition of those) but it has pretty hard limits on scaling without an in…

That is actually a really solid point. I still don't know that it's necessarily the right way, but I'd certainly rather those scripts be tested!

Outside of the scope of elaborate CI pipelines, I wonder how useful this can really be. Big CI pipelines are one of the few instances where I can think of Bash being both an approp…

My first guess would be that power consumption drove those decisions.

I also liked how "risk taking" was in the toxic group, while "courage" was seen as a positive. Right alongside "leadership". So, be courageous and lead, but don't do things that re…

Is it really THAT hard to to run on prem/cloud because of the "complexity that comes with setting up and managing MongoDB clusters at scale"? The documentation is strong, it was bu…

Upon looking around in the demo repo, this seems like so close to pure Python that I almost don't see the point. A Terraform for config management sounds grand, but this just seems…

While the network bit is valid, it implies that networking in smaller areas can't still have the same impact in cost adjusted terms, meaning that while your lifetime earnings may b…

Because tech lies at a difficult crossroads between the applied and the theoretic. You build a building, you have an architect, and engineer, a foreman, etc. With applications, you…

Inexorable is absolutely the right word here. Give people a way to live beyond their means and they will take it pretty much every time.

Can you help me understand this statement better? Why should we do that? I may sound like I'm playing dumb, but I'm really struggling to see whats compelling about this in its curr…

Condos can be dangerous. One second you're enjoying your nice condo, the next you're paying your $15k share of the repair cost of the buildings elevator. The invest in something mo…

Quantify hard work and "grit" into a unit of measurement - call it a wK. Mitt Romney's sons simply don't need the same amount of wKs to be hedge fund managers as a black kid born i…

Still the closest I've come is Zimbra + zpush. Zimbra isn't fantastic, but it covers a lot. zpush is for the mobile part, and allows to you to connect to Zimbra as if it were an ex…

Forgive my ignorance here, but what is he referring to when he says "Magic Systems" and "ML"?

While pricey, the Hue Tap seems to be a good middle ground. Its powered by the press of the button itself, so no wiring needs to take place. Pair, stick it onto a wall, and then yo…

An appropriately academic look at the problem. Ignore all the reasons its done the way it is and scream "We should this because physics!"
