Every time I see this take I remember the time my step father picked me up by my throat and body slammed me on the floor. I was 12. I've had tinnitus ever since. Children really do…

I wasted a decade trying to live in single family homes. Now at 40 my wife and I are living in a small city in a condo and couldn't be happier. Neither of us enjoyed the workload o…

Thing is, the model could have been built with employees, even lowly paid ones, but then it would have been pretty transparent that they were subsidizing the rates to take market s…

Not if the investors can get an IPO done because of their great "innovation", then the bag holders are 401ks, mostly.

No one ever thinks of the poor owners.

Scala has everything, and therefore nothing.

Thread local storage means all async tasks (goroutines) must run in the same thread. This isn't how tasks are actually scheduled. A request can fan out, or contention can move part…

Docker has jumped the shark as a company, good thing the alternatives are maturing quickly. We've had pretty good (not perfect) success with the Colima project.

Honest question as someone who prefers single payer but acknowledged it's not a silver bullet: how much of the costs are nurses and doctors vs. admin? It seems to me there's a lot …

I feel people defend them by opposing any other approach to solving this. Politicians in particular say things like "preserving customer choice", which I think just means having th…

Did they reinvent or did they learn stuff? Maybe both.

We use it for microservices that only deal with Json and avro. Of course, we do that on Rails for some reason I'll never understand.

I think the part where he calls out airline apps is spot on though. They don't need any of that tech.

Agreed. I feel gaslit by the gap here. I too find the hypesters annoying, but it's fun to hack on Rust code usually. Usually...

Wild claims. So many huge projects have been successfully written in C by humans. There are patterns to solve all the built in solutions provided by Rust, how do you imagine Rust g…

For a lot of newer compiled languages this comes down to static compilation. These aren't linking to any system libraries beyond the OS fundamentals. That and they have way more de…

I've spent most of my career in the infrastructure space and I agree with this so much. These days prevailing wisdom is just to use 20 off the shelf open source components and spen…

We certainly see this in the US as well, employed homelessness.

I've never understood how a homeless person with no resources would move across the country for better handouts. Like I'd buy some anecdotal cases but most homeless I see aren't sa…

This shocks me, what sort of issues do you hit?

Increases to income tax generally won't lower a wealthy persons wealth, just the rate at which they can increase their wealth. They already have the money, and it will keep paying …

Yeah the NoSQL tide seems to have been stemmed by people actually trying to use them.

Do you have some source here to provide for the curious?

Agree that people may want this to be a bigger factor than it is, or no factor at all, depending on their personal feelings on Musk and his politics. I would say its hard to argue …

Did you mean to reply to me? I didn't claim it was or wasn't okay, or that I was enlightened. I am merely pointing out that one person's journey to separating themselves from being…
