   Businesses want uniformity and commonality since, in theory, it should lower development costs (see projects like flutter and fuschia, which have the goal to make every platform web based). The problem is that users/customers have high

   I've been using this for a couple months now and it has not helped me at all. It didn't help with closing a PO box in SF, Car rental in Florida denied it, casino in Maryland denied it, but maybe in a couple years it'll be acc

   I'll will test this out later. This is a huge problem for us because unstructured incorrectly segments words when reading pdf files.

   My friend has been feeding me information about the acquisition for almost a year now. They work at VMware and they knew about the layoffs months ago. Apparently another layoff is coming in 3 months or so with a better package and my friend

   Check for open roles in her state government. They're typically big Oracle customers and pace is very very slow. Source: my mom works for her state government.

   The other story people are missing here is that even if this wasn't a security issue, iMessage is adopting RCS next year, so the whole blue/green bubble thing will become much less relevant.

   I didn't quite get what to compare here at first, but now I see it - the whole first page of twitter links are "1 day ago" or younger, while only the first link from threads is that recent.

    I feel exactly the same way - this idea of a lambda monolith seems applicable to hobby projects only.

    I liked the talk and found the jokes funny but the crowd was eerily silent.

    One lesser known moat that Ticketmaster has is they have the best tech stack. From what I've heard from folks in the industry, literally no one else is capable of handling the biggest artists like Taylor Swift.

    Yep, their unrealized losses on securities are high but they also have a huge inflation hedge position and have been increasing their reserves to survive a bank run. Compare this to SVB which had neither, and the headline seems much less al

    I had an in-depth conversation with a AI generated version of either Tia Mowry or Tamera Mowry about death note over WhatsApp. It went pretty smoothly but eventually she got some facts wrong/didn't know the show that well.

    Google used to do this - they worked very hard to remove all gender signals, and as a result, pay discrimination against women got worse. So now they no longer try to hide gender.

    Sadly, I think there's some truth here which is unfortunate because it would do them a world of good to learn!

    I like to think of myself as a pretty good engineer, but I spent countless hours trying to get authentication of any kind working in spring and it was very painful. It's been a few years (2020) since I tried but that was just one of ma

    IIUC, you're saying that failures are low stakes, so even if a good framework existed, the idea of using static types is flawed since is only slows you down compared to dynamic types. I disagree but my position is purely preference&#x2

    Aren't go types determined at compile time? That would make it static in my book. But regardless of that, are you also implying that Gin is as good as nodejs/Django/ror? There are lots of bad dynamically typed web frameworks,

    Totally agree with this - almost everyone in my apartment with a dog goes to the same nearby dog park. It's really pleasant to see and talk to them everyday.

    Interestingly, Garry's father was also an alcoholic so I'd assume he he'd know a thing or two about them as well.

    In "the hard thing about hard things" they echo this advice as well - usually your executive team should have previous experience with the exception of maybe one person.

    I'm guessing you don't have children? I don't either, but I suspect that's folks main motivation for buying a home.
