That chart counts nginx and openresty as separate categories. If you combine them (which I think makes more sense, since a lot of openresty's adoption must come from ingress-nginx)…

"Mirror" is what this question is generally understood to be asking. I don't think swapping the direction of the edges produces a tree in general although it would produce a DAG. I…

I agree absolutely. One of these people can stop whenever the experience stops being fun and the other has few other options. It's about as inspiring as poverty tourism or an episo…

Academia may seem quaint but often accurately signals what is to come in the rest of the professional managerial class. Last year during an interview (software engineering) I was a…

Thanks for sharing that list, it definitely challenged some of my preconceptions. As someone who watched The Closer and didn't think it went too far, I think most would agree that …

Well, the disincentive of wasting one's time (in practice that means generating an application link, or filling out a short form online) is much, much smaller than the potential re…

I think the knowing-people effect is a better criticism about referrals generally. Given that most companies already accept referrals, at least with this setup, employees would thi…

> If you stay on the job for more than two months, your sponsors get double what they invested (minus our fees). I feel like the linked Twitter criticisms just gloss over the fact.…

I think of myself as someone who "follows the science" and the fact you present is what keeps me skeptical of expert advice. Another example was when the question of which vaccine …

>> You shouldn’t be allowed to pay your employees so little that they are eligible for government benefits. Although a common talking point, it is not inherently a bad thing that l…

That could be true (although the case of 'academics' would seem to disprove it), but still wouldn't change the conclusion that at any given point in time, the majority of employees…

> I applaud your focus on your family; I’d keep that out of the interview process. If I’m hiring an entry-level remote employee, I don’t want to worry that they’re taking care of a…

As a self taught graduate in an unrelated major, in a rural area, I was fortunate to get an entry level job and then a fully remote job this past year. If you can do any contract w…

It's amazing to think how much welfare a single person's free work can add to the world. Basically FOSS but for learning math. I used this site ~12 years ago when taking calculus c…
