In my brief time there, I'm proud to say I was a member of the Inbox Resistance. Loved that app and tried to so hard not to refresh any browser once they turned it off internally. Goddam that one hurt.

I know it's a meme, but I genuinely miss Google Reader. It was so nice to have many sources of information aggregated into one app. Now it's fragmented across HN, Reddit, Substack, Twitter etc etc. I don't even bother followi

That's how I approached Gravity's Rainbow, but I still couldn't get through it.

Enter the Kettlebell will fuck you up in the best way. I still do some barbell and dumbbell workouts, but kettlebell swings, presses and turkish getups if done properly with the right amount of weight are absolutely full body workouts.

I switched from Headspace to Waking Up. Sam Harris's app goes much deeper into what the "self" is / consciousness etc. That deeper understanding of the theory helped me in terms of motivation and really committing to my

I've been using Sam Harris's Waking Up app for about 10 days now and enjoy it much more than Headspace. I love that he includes theory as well as guided meditation. Another item I just started is Monk Manual. I enjoy the monthly,

There was some speculation over at /r/sysadmins that this was a dump of passwords that came from the compromise five years ago. I have no way to confirm/deny that. I have MFA enabled with the google auth app- has there been a

This and Database Internals. I'm more of a sales engineer that continues to flirt with moving to engineering full-time. These two books have really opened my eyes to both better system design and implementation details.

I've seen this domain submitted in the last year or so. Who or what is Lynalden? Are they an economist, or a blogger, or both? Not that credentials are the be all end all, but what's different about this person vs anyone who'

It's like Chicago doesn't exist in the collective conscientious of the east and west coast white collar class. ILL is a dumpster fire of a state, but the COL to quality of life ratio is pretty excellent as far I'm concerned.

I just replied to your other comment further up thread, but yes this is my anecdotal experience as well. You couldn't walk ten feet without tripping over C++ and Java. Never myself saw Go checked into corp.

Welcome to the Xoogler club :D. Just curious what areas did you work in, generally speaking? I never saw a line of Go in close to three years working around the Ads products. Obviously it's a massive company and I saw maybe 5% of it, b

Whoa. timeout. If I'm reading your post correctly your manager gave you a NI as a noogler (first review cycle)?! WTF. Do NIs make it harder to transfer? sure, but it's not impossible.

great point- I think it's strongly correlated to budget. JSOC? probably 10 years ahead due to unlimited/black budget. The average gs-13 commuting to the Pentagon? Bottom of the barrel tech.

If this is in Defensenews just imagine all the shenanigans out at Dugway that are still classified... probably five years ahead of this.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but "timeseries" databases are typically some combination of LSM style append only logs and eventual consistency. In an ACID relational database, i'm not sure you can simultaneously write and read mill

Influxdb was doing a project in Rust/Arrow as well right? I think the lesson might be- be careful who and when you take funding from. All these managed services smack of VCs looking for ARR growth and a big exit...

Maybe on base is different. I've never ever been allowed to take my phone into a SCIF. I'm curious how "secret" this aircraft is if any random base personnel can snap a pic in open air.

I think this is Ruth shifting cost structures moreso than any indication about in office work culture. I believe they were already renting, so someone probably did the math and realized they'd come out ahead in the medium to long term.

I think you're spot on about the keyboard being rubbish, but overall bbm was great. Everytime I upgrade my iPhone I find myself removing more and more apps. At this point all I really want/need is google maps, iMessages and... yak

Man if you're Andy Fastow or Jeff Skilling you must be kicking yourself right now. Post 9/11 I can't think of many white collar criminals actually doing jail time. I guess we'll see where Holmes ends up. This whole thing

100% this. I learned Emacs in college for LaTeX and R (pre RStudio). I used it off and on for years after college to be a contrarian if I'm being honest. With LSP and the various client implementations I'm legitimately more produc

Those pay well if you're in a front office position and coding algorithms that are directly affecting trading strategies and making the firm money. If you're doing back office work / stuff that just keeps the lights on you wo
