Maybe I'm in the minority but I would rather have resources devoted to improving compile times in 1.5+ versions vs. having golang work on arm. Isn't the best course usually to build a solid foundation, then branch out?

For 500MM I'd want something that you could nuke from orbit and it would still be standing.

Is the bank underground? Is the movement underground? So many questions. After reading, it seems like the movement is underground, the water banks are above ground.

This is a great breakdown even for a novice who doesn't know much about how rendering engines typically function. It gives me a new appreciation for games, the amount of work and creativity that goes into the final experience for the p

I'm not sure where this mantra that pgsql is slow comes from. My sense is it's more from the monolithic nature of a typical install which makes it difficult to scale horizontally to handle supreme amounts of load. For most develop

We needed something that was type-safe and deployed easily with a decent standard library. Concurrency was a bonus. This, barely, outweighs the massive amount of boilerplate that permeates a golang repository over time. Overall it was a net

Either it's a strange coincidence or someone spent a lot of time and care creating astroturfing accounts. All are old, have comments and submissions, seem like real people.

Isn't this what Chariot does today in SF? I don't think it's a problem with the model as much as Leap wasn't managed well.

I don't like being the voice of the purist in this, but this seems like a bandaid on a bullet wound. For most of the cases where this would seem to be useful there is probably a failure upstream of that usage that should really be fixe

Sort of naive question; where are we getting the raw materials for all these batteries?

The cultural differences between the US (especially in 1900 as you say) and Britain, and the US and China today are much more significant. I don't think these two periods are comparable.

The urls are different for the one you submitted and OPs. Generally if you can remove extra query string params in the submission it helps the filter / deduper work better.

The 'quality' of a vc comes through in a lot of ways. One way is a general stamp of approval (they typically pick winners) which helps your companies reputation. Another comes from a large portfolio or a large network from which y

NYC, as an example, is becoming more and more a strong place to start a company, but it isn't on equal footing yet. The thing with starting a company is its very rarely just you that is involved in the enterprise; you need developers,

Do you respond well when someone yells at you? Honest question. In a lot of cultures anger is seen as weakness, it's the person giving into negativity. It's also seen as hostile. I don't attribute "passion" to someo

The OSS "weaknesses" of .net are a chicken and an egg problem; the more people who come from a community software background that use a framework, the more community software there will be for that framework. Having what reads as

If that's how you feel, give examples why. Personally I don't think what is in that post is too far off from reality; "renewable" energy is a net loss still. Nuclear is the cleanest source per measure of energy produced

I specifically request desks where my back is to a wall for this very reason. You need breaks during the day. Programming is creative work. Some people can just march on like a machine, but I know my own style is to have an incredibly high
