TIL ratfucker actually means something relevant to the context of the article. I think you worded my feelings much better than I did. This is a fiery op-ed from a personal blog and…

Whoa, I had no idea it was an actual term that’s applicable here. I thought the author was just creatively insulting the guy.

Even though I agree with what the author is saying, the tone of this article is off putting to me. There are ways to call out people for being bad at their job without resorting to…

Huh, I would have thought the opposite. Companies at Figma size are easily able to hire talent to maintain a core part of their engineering stack. On the other hand, they retain no…

I don’t really think this is true anymore. When a doctor messes up, their patient gets hurt. When we mess up, millions get inconvenienced. You can’t really say one is worse than th…

I strongly disagree. First of all, in normal situations, you can't "threaten" a billion dollar company as an individual. The power balance there is so asymmetrical that any logical…

No worries, I was just trying to be humorous!

That’s really cool! Thanks for sharing. Living here definitely is a bubble, and in a good way. I feel 99% safe walking my dog late at night, and I’m generally not on edge here. And…

That’s fair. I don’t think our 61B is optimized for public consumption nor is it designed to do so. I would not recommend learning DS by just watching the lectures posted on this w…

Do you have more info on how Mission Bay privatized their services? I live there and AFAIK I don’t pay anything extra for living in that neighborhood. Is it baked into my (high) re…

Yes? Are we surprised at the boys’ lack of ethics here?

I would say yes. The students are learning about lists, sets, and maps. These are so common that misusing this stuff can lead to big consequences during engineering design.

Hi, I used to TA for 61B. This isn’t an online course though. You’ll notice a small detail at the top “245 Li Ka Shing” which is the lecture hall used. Granted most students don’t …

This is the ugly side of HN in my opinion. Discussions here are usually very reasonable, except for a few subjects such as telemetry. I guess to the hacker heads of HN, telemetry i…

Once again, YouTube’s copyright system is harming creators, this time one of my favorite channels — EckhartsLadder. Can someone at YouTube please fix this insanity?

All the problems you listed can be solved though. In fact, HN is a good demonstration of it. Its policy decisions have largely led to one of the last bastions on the internet that …

I’m confused, why would you be jealous here? Aren’t you and your wife “life partners” so to speak? That means understanding what money means to each person, understanding your part…

You’ve presented two extremes here. With no indication of timescale either. For example, starter projects in general should lean towards option 2 for obvious reasons. But as they g…

Great post! One quibble with your last point — your guide is probably most helpful to the devs that are too direct and blunt, and expect others to be that way to them.

It’s a different type of “coming”. In the 90s, people imagined it was a few years away. But it was conceptual, like how we think about asteroid mining or Mars settlements. Today, t…

I feel like half the comments here didn’t read the article and are basing their comments on a few top level comments. After the reading the article in its entirety it is clear the …

Can someone help me understand this copy-paste issue? I heavily rely on StackOverflow like most devs but I’ve never been able to straight rip something from SO that didn’t fall und…

Correct, PAC another 5k, Super PAC unlimited or some amount too high for me to care.

It’s a great course if you’re into that. We even have a major for it — EECS, which is electrical engineering and computer science. For pure CS majors, it should be an elective. But…
