We use pants internally. ( https://pantsbuild.org ) Comes from Twitter, and - if I understand correctly - based on many of the ideas from Bazel. It’s actively maintained and updated.

I could be wrong, but IIRC these tariffs are in response to the initial round of steel/aluminum tariffs. They have not responded to the latest round of tariffs.

It reinforces peoples’ perceptions of “government waste” and the government spending on projects that “don’t help the average voter”.

Or rocket/Gotham. Personally, I preferred working with rocket far more than iron, and that despite the fact that rocket is nightly-only.

We'll use the blockchain to do a rights payment when a tree using our patented DNA grows. There are also milestone payments: survives for 1 year - a small payment; survives for 2 - another payment...

I could be wrong, but if I understand correctly this healthcare company is for their employees only? (At least at first).

Puppies start walking earlier than babies. Great. The next question should be: so what? And that's what this article fails to deliver on.

Maybe performers will start to license out their face for use in adult videos. You don't have to participate in the porn itself, but you'll get a tiny royalty from each view. It's an interesting way to monetize your appearanc

I buy mine from Warby Parker. I don't get rock-bottom prices, but the frames I got were good quality, their in-store experience is great, and they've good customer service. Plus, I can try before I buy...which I value a lot (I don

The area prone to high flooding looks quite large ( https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/iEYD3VfM5np... ). I suspect if you're a town in that area you'd have to enclose yourself - recreate

Don’t forget to repackage them! I’ve heard that doing so, and partitioning the resulting basket up dilutes the risk and makes them higher quality!

There's also an easier solution to the problem than what he's proposing.

The company is definitely at fault if it achieved that $10 rate by misclassifying the individual as a contractor.

“Is this contractor thing a little bit on the suspicious side? Definitely. Should They pay their “driver partners” more? Definitely. Do I think that this problem is Uber’s fault? Most definitely not.” What? Uber is the sole party that struc

I find that happens when one - or all - of the following are true: 1. Don’t have a good understanding of the existing system architecture 2. Have not thought through the design of whatever has to be added, both in terms of function expectat

The headline is misleading IMO. The author is proposing “Never rewrite a method” _as a thought experiment_ to guide you to writing better code. Even the original proponent walked back from that idea moments after he proposed it.

I'm not 100% sure about the relationship between EKS, ECS and Fargate. Why would I deploy to Fargate over EKS? I assume it's because with Fargate I don't have to write a k8s deployment spec? Why would I deploy to Fargate over

What if you pay as you consume up to a maximum? That would transition repeat users into, in effect, subscribers.

I found Odersky's comments and concern less useful than Li Haoyi's. Li's focused on the unclear - and broken - abstractions, while Odersky's seemed to focus more on the misapplication of language features. Am I reading t

Well... * It's slow * There's little sense of its overall abstraction (or how the abstractions you find fit together) * Its configuration language is undecipherable (if you want to use operators liberally consider the hoops people

If you look at the TTC system as a whole it's the streetcar lines that take a lot of flack, but I blame that on: * General age of the fleet (not helped by Bombardier's delayed deliveries) * Lack of dedicated streetcar lanes; it&#x

I love Toronto, but its subways (and transit as a whole) need improvement as well. Not just that, council seems hell-bent on throwing 3+ billion dollars down the morass that's the Scarborough extension. [rant over]

Refuted by anecdote ;) In the first few months of working at my current job I triggered three different bugs in the Scala compiler (2.10.x IIRC). That said, I think most people - me included - don't reach for "compiler error"
