It will be interesting to see if Deno can provide the level of productivity improvement node.js delivered (was supposed to deliver? continues to deliver?). It's one thing for it to claim supremacy over node, but can it attract the TJ H

I had a lot of trouble finding "the right" air purifier. Who knows if its even the right one. I found wirecutter (and the like) to have a bit of a feel of a fake affiliate marketing website. My take is: people currently trust thei

Some people are going to respond "reading more is the right thing to do". As in: practice makes perfect. Observing a master, will make you a master. But unless your eye or brain can detect what they're doing, it can feel hope

The 11B of goods are subject to taxes. I agree that reducing recidivism is important, likely the product of a broken US juvenile system and weakened education system.

It's an interesting discussion. I've chosen to exist within the confines of societies laws. Prison is itself a different world, and I don't claim to know very much about it or the mindset behind the different types of crimina

The slaves freed through the civil war committed no crime. They were taken or born slaves. Criminals have shown their behavior to be counter productive to the laws of our society.

It may also incentivize people to avoid going to prison. What is the incentive to avoid prison? How does society recoup losses from crime? Does the 13th amendment exist to disincentivize crime? I don't know the history behind the speci

Any googlers have any insight into this? Or other GDS members?

Sapiens volume 2 graphic novel is a nice tangent to this topic if one is looking for further thoughts on these sorts of topics. People have said it’s a bit preachy, but I prefer to consider it thought provoking.

The thing is, red tape shouldn’t be there to enforce compliance. He could have done that even if he’d paid the fees, which maybe he did? Seems like a separate issue of your neighbor not being very considerate and dumping (illegally?).

Can confirm! Palm devices were generally tested for things like memory leaks by just running them for a really long time. 1 phone call, 1 email per minute… for a week. I wrote some core dump readers that would look for memory patterns in cr

I think it's time to start separating what is a software developer. Is a software developer someone willing to learn new languages and uses software to solve problems? Or is a software developer someone who knows latest.js and writes f

That's true, but it seems odd that they're going out of their way to suppress a story.

It has a medium level of spam, but if you stick to name brands sold by amazon, you generally get what you pay for. It's replaced the department store, and usually has better service / return policy than a department store (Target

Shouldn't there be free discussion on it though? What do you mean by much heat and little to no light?

fwiw, I love the FTC and vets, but this does not seem like the top news of today in hackernews world.

While that's true that the network calls should be function calls, it means you can scale horizontally in a lot easier fashion. Sure you've got waste at the small scale, but if you're building for webscale then you have to re

I asked a 5 year old if lower pollution means things grow better. She said yes.

Well they turned it off and now San Francisco is happening; I haven’t seen many viable alternatives that appear to be working at scale.

So when windows blue screens 67,000 times and we have to wait 100s for a reboot (78 people years) is that the equivalent of an auto manufacturer killing someone? They didn’t do their job, and now the world is on hold for them. No, life goes

Seriously! I’d pay $50 for one of those 100 game ROMs but I sure as heck wouldn’t buy 99 of the games at retail prices!!!

Max spec wouldn’t make a difference. 7 years later, still slow.

You are saying a game had a 6 minute load screen and everybody would throw their hands up and say “but look at the dynamic lighting once it loads… it’ll all be worthwhile!” If that’s not group think gone bad, I don’t know what is.

Isn’t preparing for an interview a skill? Seems like unprepared candidates who know there is a simple way to prepare should be cut. They don’t want it enough to go to the trouble of spending their time.

Yes, endowed private universities should not be eligible for federal funding. It should be based on a per seat basis, with some scoring on how useful the seats generate employment with some lag to avoid flooding market with education seats

At least he's pleasant. Isn't most of his financial advice "buy index stocks"?
