Calling external services "microservices" is fundamentally wrong. They are "services". All that will do is create a lot of confusion because you are utterly misusing terminology. Y…

It's absolutely a basic feature. It's the opposite of buying a share, and your profit/loss is easy to calculate. With options, you need to worry about premium, time decay, spreads …

For a brokerage managing short position risks are exactly the same as managing long positions. And the implementation is the same too. Do real-time checks and once a position has l…

Yes, a pure short position is much cheaper than buying puts. You pay a lot of premium with options and almost no premium with shorts, depending on what the rate to borrow is. Also,…

This is an incorrect statement. CPU utilization and memory matters because it limits how many other containers you can load on the same host, and means that it becomes more and mor…

It looks like it came from his Louis TV show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNo_Hhm5r8o

It would never have been prioritized. The time to convince others that this was more valuable than other tasks would have far outweighed the time that he spent working on it on his…

It's mostly raw passion. You can't get a 9-to-5 worker excited enough to learn something from scratch over a weekend just to do something she thinks is "cool". There's also a diffe…

Louis CK once said "The only time you should look at what's on some else's plate of food is to check if they have enough." That really put things in perspective to me. If I'm not m…

I've worked with 2 10x engineers in my career. I don't know if they were precisely 10x, but they were the most productive engineers I've ever seen. At the startup I worked at, this…

No offense to the OP but the syllabus is ludicrous. This isn't teaching anything. It's so packed with random software technologies, they will leave the course with nothing. Cut dow…

Agreed. There is no way that a startup is capitalized enough to survive a payout. Their CEO and investors must be sweating bullets over the next few days, worrying if an earthquake…

Also sinkholes and flooding caused by global warming!

I just don't understand how people continue to believe that Bigfoot exists. The footage from the 1970s, once stabilized, looks embarrassingly like a man in a gorilla suit. Plus the…

Honestly, when you're dealing with the scale of the Internet, ie. billions of people, do the disgusting comments of a few dozen, hundreds or even thousands of people matter? It's n…

I tried Impossible Meat last week and I was shocked at how tasty it was. There was a Better Meats option for hamburgers but I don't want to waste $8 in case it doesn't taste good. …

Google has become a big horrible disaster. I'm extremely disappointed in what is going on these days. I am a heavy user of Nest (7 cameras, other accessories). I've fully bought in…

Google as a company is worth almost $1T. It's hard to argue that's the wrong approach when they are so ridiculously successful.

Right now I'm struggling with whether or not to leave. I'm currently at a well-known company, and I'm uncharacteristically happy because my WLB is the best it's been in my career. …

> Publishers are also concerned that they won’t have access to important data about the consumers — credit cards, email addresses and other subscriber information — as part of the …

My kid is 6 years old and all he uses is an iPad. I think the next generation will be using iPads and tablets and think using laptops are for old people.

This isn't a good article to post. It's just one person complaining about a change he didn't know about. It's really just a syntax change. I probably wouldn't have chosen that part…

Did you do something about these terrible interviewers? Your company is particularly famous for a terrible interview experience because of interviewers such as this. I've personall…
