The author fails to understand the true purpose of "debugging". It's not about finding and fixing a bad line of code. It is about broadening your understanding of a system and correcting faulty assumptions about how it works.

Check Glassdoor if you doubt it. Numbers probably aren't including housing, which in Silicon Valley puts a ~$7500 monthly salary roughly up to $10k.

Where does the post say anything about it being disabled for those languages or that Chrome "specifically" ignored this on ProtonMail? It just says they had to turn off the suggest translations feature, which would apply to all si

Your attitude on this entire thread has been incredibly condescending. Why don't you try and think of why these problems are hard instead of just assuming they are all easy, as you've done so far? I challenge you try and think thr

It seems you do care, since you've commented twice now claiming the author has ripped off your work, without any evidence whatsoever. Perhaps you should contact them privately if you feel that you've been wronged here? Publicly cl

As you said, what cle described is a gradual rollout. You can do both at the same time though -- simply start your test on X% of the population and then roll it out to more people as you run your test. This is also a great way to run long-t

I used to work on the Site Integrity team at Facebook. It's really challenging to fight spam at scale. We've accidentally blocked many top domains in the past -- mistakes happen and we work to fix them as quickly as we can.

I can tell that you're trying to be sarcastic, but I've heard enough good things about Slack that it was hard to catch. If you're not being sarcastic... well, I think Shank summed it up pretty well.

I feel the author has chosen poor examples for illustrating 'bad code'. Does he really think so little of the id software team that they aren't aware of these things? There's no mention of the fact that in the real world

This post doesn't address the most important thing: when can we actually expect all of the government's websites to start using these common patterns? Creating a library/set of guidelines that you expect other developers to u

The root of these bad host stories seem to be that the guests arrive and don't immediately contact Airbnb about issues with the rental. Because of this, Airbnb just denies any liability and puts the blame on the renters instead of the

Don't forget that Twitter has a comprehensive advertising platform. The partnerships, sales, tooling, and ad auction system themselves are likely just as complicated (or more so) than the basic Twitter product. Instagram has only recen

I find it ironic that you are berating JustGotHere for sharing his experiences, but feel that it is inappropriate that you were downvoted for sharing yours. Your anecdote isn't relevant, because I don't know what hardware you run,

This is the (jsbeautified) source of the script from your article ( http://pastebin.com/kvvYXKKX ). I'll wager grammar_costs is just a metric used by graph search and not your friends' coefficients.

The last paragraph sums it up: He says he can envision a consumer-level app in the future that could be installed on phones by individuals. Although such an app wouldn’t have all of the same functionality as the robust firewall has, i

Personally, I'm totally ok with more prominent job postings from affiliated startups. As long as there aren't, say, more than 3 posts at a time I'm fine with them sitting at the top of the front page.

I used to work at Twitter, so I was able to request it internally. As I mentioned, you were only able to request a handle that met some strict 'inactive' policies. I left in 2012, so I don't have much context since then. The

What does this have to do with Facebook and the acquisition? Anyone working at Instagram pre-acquisition would also have been able to reclaim inactive handles. Twitter does this as well and that's how I got my current username. There a
