I like this analogy; raising children well like delivering products well pays dividends. They’re less likely to cause problems and if they do, they tend to be smaller in scope.

Yeah, I think the author strays a bit away from the title. The author says, "The collaboration industry has spent a fortune obscuring a dirty truth: most complex, high-quality work…

I don't have a breakdown. It was a number cited to me from a manager. Downvotes are interesting.

I am saying that. Salary + taxes + insurance + retirement + other benefits + support cost is around 670k. Salary eats up like 160k of that budget, though.

I work at a lab associated with R1 university that has Nobel laureate output so I feel like I have some knowledge in this area: 1. They exist. However, writing a piece of software …

I wonder if this is an actual Hyatt owned and managed property or is it a hotel brand associated with Hyatt. I also wonder what category of hotel it is. Before we call it enshittif…

Good for EU for trying to improve tech market, but I recall seeing another thread here at HN why it can't be solved by simply throwing money at it.

Yep. You're thinking of TFE. Workspaces and Stacks are the the advertised method for building composable infra.

When you say IPv6 isn't hard, do you mean implementing v6-only network stack isn't hard or understanding IPv6 isn't hard? Depending on which layer one lives on, I feel like the lac…

I don't personally like it but I suspect much of it had to do with me getting used to just clicking once and having to unlearn the habit.

I respectfully disagree. Parent comment is hardly over-indexing; it's a big factor. The world may be big but the communities are small.

Maybe I'm slow but I'm failing to read the part where AI reminds the author of specifically cloud computing. The general premise seems to be "lot of early promises never panned out…

Did you ever get asked why you came back to the academic world in the interviews? I'm curious how PhDs who've been in the industry are viewed from academia.

Yep. He wasn't the only one though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Almond

She did not, but I would not be surprised if she picked it up for my granddad (he was in the UDU - precursor to the now ROK UDT/Flotilla).

You need as much FPS as possible for certain games for competitive play like Counter Strike. I went from 80 FPS (highest settings) to 365 FPS (capped to my alienware 360hz monitor)…
