I'm sort of perplexed that this is even a problem? Surely it's possible to dynamically disengage the charging mechanism once full?

Could someone substantiate any of this? Say a provable former Blizzard employee or a link to a reputable news article. Because I'm not sure this as it is is HN material. I saw the title with the domain next to it and assumed it was a b

This has been building for at least 5 years, but it's obvious now that the West needs to start acting. We didn't win the cold war by pretending it wasn't going on and China has certain advantages that we don't have. We h

This is actually part of what I'm talking about. The sweet high-paying tech jobs went to a group of people that can comfortably afford to live without marrying off. They date around because they can. I know, because I got that sweet jo

One core issue is housing. And the core issue with housing is that prices are an arms race where everyone always wants more. Most people would have two or three kids if they felt like they could afford it. The second core issue is modern da

This is a great list. I think one of the hardest things to add after the fact are security headers. Once marketing is involved with an app's marketing site, it's going to be hard to add them in later. So I add them from day one, a

I'm really happy you responded because I fully agree with you. I think my larger point was that smart juniors should seek to get clarification privately after exhausting their own skill, but you're absolutely right that they shoul

That is what I believe you believe and I understand where it is coming from. I've managed juniors and I know they make mistakes. That said, if a junior brings up a question like "why does this error for some tests, but not others?

I'm a senior dev I say this only because I have to. The problem with encouraging developers to speak up when they're stuck is that the developer that is stuck isn't really ever sure if it is something they really should know

I don't think anyone should be absolutely sure one way or another, but China is a pretty big place and the country only has two labs at that level. Coincidences happen, yes, but this one seems pretty unlikely.

It's not? For example, "Did a nuclear power plant meltdown in Kansas yesterday?" We use science for all sorts of stuff like that.

I'm not going to comment on Snowden's view of what liberal western states do when it comes to surveillance. I have my own opinion, but he's been right about stuff I'd disagreed with him in the past before so I'm gun

In a dense urban environment the LVT wouldn't cover this case well because the land value of a rectangle of the same area of a square is roughly the same. It's access to the street that is valuable, at least for reasonably sized
645.
by 3pt14159 5y ago
I agree, but not just on land value. If you adjust the base rate for the land by how wide the plot is on the street you end up with a MUCH more walkable city. It's like a more efficient sorting algorithm, because once you get to the st

The issue with most pure-robotics-that-make-things[0] companies is that they end up finding out that they need to iterate on the robot while the actual product gets better . It's not like software where essentially everyone can use th

I'm under a couple strict NDAs, unfortunately, and I didn't work on the trading engine, just software around piping giant amounts of data around to a ton of consumers. But the stuff I worked on heavily utilized AWS wherever possib

I dated a journalist once. She used some random free app for phone calls because recording calls isn't built into iOS and she needed to record calls. I suggested a small device for her to plug her headphones through, but she declined.

You'd think that, but no, not really. If you talk to a lawyer first and he registers what you're doing with the police first and you don't actually break the law, you'll be fine. Lots of bounty hunters and private invest

The problem with this route is that as you scale everything breaks. You end up putting the events or activities table on DynamoDB or you have to store user presence in Redis or you have to vertically or horizontally shard and have to move a

Excellent insight. Thank you. Since listening to a Lex Fridman podcast on how one hemisphere of the brain is more devoted to language than the other, I've been thinking about just how complex language is. I've never agreed with so

I don't disagree, but I don't fully agree either. Developers can usually choose whom they work for. If the boss brings in trackers and such they can usually leave for another job. I know there are employment visas that complicate
