Hard agree. I've told many people that the only thing that's not overrated about the Bay Area is the weather.

I don’t actually know if this is true, but the intuition I have is that this huge expenditure of energy is just the result of speeding through evolution. Our neural structures have evolved for hundreds of millions of years. The aggregate en

And then the problem is scaling rapidly enough to handle those users. A whole lot of the engineers at FAANGs are running infrastructure that, for the startup with zero users, doesn’t exist.

Citation needed? I mean, sure, probably "some fraction" but that "some" is carrying a lot of water here.

I don't mind PHP (like I don't mind lots of things that I don't really have to deal with), but Hack is by far my favorite web language. It has most of what's nice about PHP (specifically, reload and your changes are ther

In two if the three studies a third of the people who survived were able to come off ventilation. It’s not a panacea as the article says, but I suspect without ventilators the death rate would be more like 100%, and I’ll take my chances wit

For what it's worth, I recently bought a new-build condo-ownership model townhouse in Silicon Valley that is effectively a row house. Six units in a building, three stories each. It's not quite the same, but it seems to be cut fro

I can't see the US government rolling over either, but him having security or not is not an issue. The US government has means beyond those of the average opposing gang leader if they want to shut the business down.

What are they meant to do if the world starts burning at 4am? Wait until a reasonable hour? Oncall fires at 4am suck but they're part of running critical services.

My experience with testing is like that old adage about advertising, "I know I'm wasting 50% of my money but I don't know which 50%." Most of it is a waste but it's hard to know in advance which test will stop an en
