Couldn't we solve this with a percentage type for zoning, or adding a "mixed commerical/residential" zone? UI wise that shouldn't be any more complicated. Or you can change the zon…

At my apartment building, I only get the email for my unit's mail, not everyone's. Sounds like a bug like other people said.

The macbook and it's 3+ year butterfly keyboard debacle or windows 10 laptops with all of their spyware even when high end being his only 2 practical choices is what he is probably…

Sometimes when you prototype something, half the reason is to try out these new fancy architectural styles :p Usually it's for this kind of project: http://www.commitstrip.com/en/2…

I think this is a relatively recent development. 8-10 years ago, working at a startup or working at FANG paid about the same, but the startup came with this lottery ticket, you lea…

In a way, it's easier to support parents in a poor country because everything is cheaper there. Give them $1000/month and they will probably live better than you.

Which is why as a startup you have to offer something that FANG can't offer, like full remote working or similar. That or taking the people who fail to get FANG offers / naive jrs.…

Not quite, because the equivalent pure pcie connection is faster than thunderbolt due to the overhead in thunderbolt. We need another doubling in thunderbolt's speed for it to not …

Graphs are OK in reference counting languages like swift / objective-c, it doesn't have to be done with a GC. I think you could use Rc in rust too if you want to solve it using rus…

Unfortunately, tesla does not provide the paperwork to import the car, so you can't import a us tesla into canada. Probably to protect that margin your seeing. If I'm wrong, a frie…

I'd rather use my own cellphone plan & wifi than pay for that kind of stuff indirectly.

From my friends that have tried rust, creating a graph or doubly linked list without using some special structures is fairly painful or impossible. You can create a graph by using …

What is more expensive, train or road maintenance? What gets better total utilization rates?

That's called something being stringly typed, and it's a code smell. You make URL classes, UUID classes, timestamp classes, enums, etc to replace the strings.

Security is an economic choice of the producing firm for the most part, and there are plenty of certifications and degrees that employers can discriminate on but do not. They even …

Tell your manager you wont check any work stuff on your personal devices anymore, because your worried about security, etc. The problem will either be resolved fairly quickly, or y…

Their search team prioritizes latency for sure, and they have performance teams and things like the RAIL model.

I think Calacanis said it best: https://calacanis.com/2019/02/11/what-is-a-startup-vs-a-life... VCs are optimizing for the unicorn, and there is nothing wrong going for the non uni…

Why don't they use 18650 batteries now?
