What seems weird is that with the massive number of Starbucks closures I've seen smaller indies and local chains open up in the exact same locations and somehow make a go of it- ho…

This obviously isn't true unless you think half the population is "evil". It doesn't help anyone's cause when you try and position it as "us vs. Them, and they're wrong"

probably on which this app is built!

SQL is really close to a natural language that's unambiguous, there's a few rough edges but it's not bad. Anything more natural requires a lot of context and needs to solve ambigui…

I don't think I have a problem with the concept, but do with someone who feels this is their only option, organizers making money off of this and viewers who would demand this and …

It doesn't have to be this way though. Women's basketball doesn't have as much violent contact as the men's game but is a better spectator sport IMO. women's hockey is also great w…

Hurl is great, especially for testing but I fear it's not acceptable by a huge segment of developers because of the lack of a UI

Insomnia and postman are pretty similar these days. I like the REST extension for VS Code and hurl

Better for non-commuters I Believe, especially in North America. And aren't they all throw aways?

Everything you say is true, but where the financial success comes from is leveraging this (well earned) reputation to support high, no negotiation, take it or leave it prices, and …

If you can find time a few weeks later September is much better. Less smoke and fewer tourists-especially the rental motorhomes. Weather is a crapshoot year round but August and Se…

All merchandise is commercial. Do your kids wear a Nike swoosh t shirt? Okay on an iPad? Love Lego? What the difference if it's a Microsoft football or new relic slingshot (all thi…

Only because you've standardized on their ecosystem and pre-given them all your data. This is not the future we were promised

This is not a great example. It's based on essentially one player, Rick Barry, who shot underhand at a high percentage. There are no bad underhand foul shooters, which I find suspi…

The warthog is a pretty ugly plane IMO, yet well loved and highly productive, so function seems to have won.

Any capital intensive project can become a resistant monopoly for the first mover, who then manipulates pricing to prevent competition.

Not sure how optimism in technology translates into raging free market libertarian in a few sentences, but then this guy's never been very subtle or aware. I'm sure his 30-year-you…

There's lots of good "serious" php out there, the challenge is it has been so accessible there's even more garbage php that's crowded out the go stuff.

I agree! I think it's actually easier to avoid the big, weak network because it started as a professional tool. I curate my connections and don't accept every recruiter or sales pe…

There's very little correlation between a company that's deeply integrated with LinkedIn tools and what it's like to work there. If you're going to judge all companies based on the…

I built this for my chest freezer years ago (including the domain chowcaster.com), which used a barcode scanner to add/remove items. It worked better than a pantry because 1. Less …

Many of the failures in the west are far above what global statistics define as poverty, so this doesn't make much sense

That's pretty unfair. It doesn't look like an html page they'd create for the web but I'm pretty sure they'd recognize html and css. Would someone who templated it in react see the…

Maybe, but spaghetti jsx really sucks too.

This isn't really true. More like static pages targeting a million different rendering engines with unbalanced feature support
