I'm no Facebook fan or apologist, but I do think there's a distinction between failing to moderate perfectly (or even well) and refusing to even attempt to moderate.

Does it just cool down that much in the evening? What about the weekends? This is fascinating to me. I've lived in the rural Midwest, NYC and Texas and always had A/C everywhere I …

Copy and paste it into slack instead

They are mailing out the required hardware and doing remote onboarding for the time being. But hardware shipments are getting delayed leading to some new hires being paid to do not…

> an external tool is required by the developer Yes, that tool is Rome. They are re-implementing the TypeScript compiler, just like everything else

It costs money, but for other readers, I've been using Buildkite[0] at two different companies across ~4 years now and it's great. It's _mostly_ self-hosted in that jobs run on you…

I think this is a wise approach for large Rails applications, but this just looks like the Repository pattern to me, with ActiveRecord used as the db interaction layer

Yeah and that's for a 538 sqft apartment. I don't know the specifics of the San Francisco rental market, but you can easily beat $4k/mo for a studio in desirable parts of Manhattan…

I guess it depends on how short the window and what other restrictions you're placing (e.g. Penn's diet?). But yeah, I can put down 2000 calories at McDonald's in about 10 minutes.…

They progress the language by adding syntactic sugar. Many Ruby programmers aren't waiting around for Ruby to suddenly become fast. If that happened it'd be great, but most code I …

I don't really remember there being much of a misunderstanding of React itself when it was first launched. There was definitely ridicule ("markup and logic in the same file?!"), bu…

A lot of people do care about more than just the technical aspects of the job, like what the company does. When that's intentionally obfuscated and the all the locations are govern…

Why don't you just correct the GP? Kind of weird/suspicious that the company name appears to be secret
