The whole 2016 situation feels like many people are borderlining on delusion, Nate included. The Comey thing certainly helped Trump, but even the day of the election 538 was still forecasting a massive win for Hilary. How can the probabil

This comment is hilarious. Its so obvious that you haven't been to America in a looooong time.

> Was there a discussion about high-level design of the templating system at all before the junior started banging out code? This feels more like a failure of the senior/lead. There was not. This is a startup I'm referencing; w

I tend to observe that junior engineers simply misplace the level of complexity that a system needs in order to be as simple as possible. Meaning, I've seen errors to the side of being too simple, and errors to the side of being too co

Compare Amazon's (at least network) pricing to Google Cloud or Azure and its roughly competitive. The scale of the networks these companies are building is unlike any of the novice-level stuff companies like Hetzner deploy. As one exam

Businesses are inherently lazy. Business shrewdness and laziness are literally the same thing; businesses always take the easiest path to the greatest profit. "Lazy" just means "unwilling to expend energy". Let's sa

It worries me that you believe there's a natural conflation between the genuinely valuable services products like Kindle offer, and the specific business model of purchasing ephemeral licenses to media content. Kindle, Google Play, iTu

Yup; the speakers support both unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR. Same issue on both.

Mackie MR5s are studio monitors, not headphones. I can plug them into an analog output device and they work perfectly. I'm talking about digital, and the only digital devices that work are a Vizio TV (possibly others, didn't reall

I have a pair of powered studio monitors (Mackie MR5), and I completely relate to this problem. Many PCs and phones will emit an audible hissing noise while plugged in. I've tested on a dozen different devices, with integrated and exte

We do still fortunately have three (more or less) independent popular implementations: Google with Blink, Apple (and now Microsoft) with WebKit, and Mozilla with Gecko. These are still three strong and independent voices; Chrome has substan

That's a poor comparison. The difference between back then and now is: Back then, no one knew we'd have such an exponential increase in computing power. But we got it. Today, everyone expects that tomorrow will yield an exponent

go1.11 pretty much solved this, though there are still many dependency managers out there and projects which rely on them that should be upgraded to support the New Way. "package" in Go has always referred to a folder. Or in other

The caching story in GraphQL sucks. Its pretty good with frontend frameworks like Apollo, but that's not a solution to the whole problem. Sure it works for your website/app (if you've got one), but it does nothing to offer ca

My biggest complaint with Google Cloud's UX, which applies to their new Cloud Source Repositories opt-in UI: They shard out so many of their user experiences into different websites and domains. Under the umbrella of Google Cloud you&#

The purpose of computers is to enhance the ability of humans who have a job to accomplish, not do their job for them. If we don't figure this out as a society, we're doomed.

When I say "society could break" I mean that there is a general acceptance, or stability, in society whereby we accept that these practices are alright. And that stability will break. Google, and companies like them, are built on

I view it as something governments will eventually step in to fix. It's very convenient to dump toxic waste into rivers. If it weren't for regulation companies would probably still do this. That doesn't make it ok, and it doe

I did use the word "dubious" on purpose. There are certainly more strictly evil companies out there, but the moral ground Google operates on is the definition of Dubious. Its shaky and doubtful. They're self-righteous about t

Oh absolutely it was hyperbole. I should have said "higher quality"; I'm scared to think about how well-documented and written Atlassians non-open-source stuff is if that's the quality of their open source stuff. I'

There is a line you can draw in the sand here. I usually define it in terms of the Product; I don't believe companies should feel compelled, or even desire to, open source code which directly relates to the product they're trying

You can't just say "etc" after having listed pretty much every company which would compensate at that level. The only other one I can think of is Salesforce. The vast vast majority of tech firms in SF do not compensate at tha
