I think one of the primary benefits to ELM, etc is the typechecking, which you lose if you use FFI to call outside JS. Once you dont need jquery and you actually have a standard li…

Not advocating for suicide but playing devils advocate... I would imagine that bank robbers the moment they get caught instantly regret it. But that doesn't prevent the ones that g…

I'm not saying that suicide isn't associated with mental health, but when I read this I got a vague feeling of a tautology. If we define the components of mental illness as being s…

Or the best schools are typically in affluent suburbs vs the city.

I was on Tmobile for 3 years and I would say it is a budget carrier through and through. You don't go to it because it has good signal, good customer service, will work on road tri…

I think the difference is, when you called someone in the 90s to ask to say borrow a cup of sugar: Call neighbor. 1 minute of small talk Ask the question Get answer more small talk…

Yeah. When Apple claims to have invented something, they don't mean that they invented the very first instance of it, they mean that they invented a practical and transformative co…

Is it really "easy credit"? My coworker just got done with getting a mortgage in San Mateo and it really seemed like a long drawn out processes with significant hurdles in terms of…

Most have the barber come to them or have a private barber in the building. My office has a separate room and a barber comes in every other week to cut hair.

My experience with groupon involves two different times. Both times involved me calling the business and being immediately asked if I had a Groupon. I don't think this was a groupo…

To be fair the commit time and the authorship time are not the same. You can author something at work and wait to get home to commit it and vice versa.

I'm in the opposite camp. I don't like NoSQL because of the flexible schema. I have to build tools to make sure my data is consistent or have error handling. Migrations ensure that…

Thats a false dichotomy. There have always been fiber providers, its just that Google Fiber is the "sexy" one that people look to for salvation instead of locally campaigning for f…

Cell towers don't need to be a freestanding structure. There are tons of micro towers hanging out on existing buildings.

Well just looking at Meetup.com Django (excluding python specific): MV: 2231, NYC: 2120, Austin: 41, Chicago: 126 RoR (excluding ruby only) MV: 4119, NYC: 4390, Austin: 158, Chicag…

San Francisco Bay is at the top of the startup scene. There is nowhere else were you will find the number of investors or resources (meetups, groups, talent, funding circuits, etc.…

That is exactly right. Its terrifying. If if you were the first engineer at 2 successful companies and have a strong github it doesn't always seem to factor in. I would cram for ho…

This x100. I hate these interviews as one of the first exercises. More than once over the years I have spent 5+ hours doing a coding exercise for a company only to get a one senten…

The delivery service I use in MV takes credit cards with square or paypal or some other phone attachment reader. In fact, most of the dispensaries in the Bay take CCs.

There is a lot of things in life that aren't explicitly disallowed but make you a selfish asshole if you do them. If a kid was brought up properly by there parent and can assess ri…

Thats the upper limit. Not all bitcoin users use coinbase.

> You could almost say (I may be exaggerating a little bit) that the America's were discovered by the Europeans in its effort to find a cheaper route to the produce and wealth of t…

The only places I know that don't accept them are small mom and pop shops or hole in the wall restaurants. I switched form using my visa to Amex for all of my purchases by default …

I recently went to replace my HTC 1 M7. First I got a Moto G, but due to cell signal, and general quirks in lollipop I thought I would try a Samsung S5. Ugg. I don't know how peopl…

Its not about what time you start and finish its about how long you work. Having an open ended working schedule is what is wrong with the work culture at most startups in silicon v…
