I find these anecdotes to be completely untrue. Women are often assumed to be less competent, and are often passed over during hiring for men of equal competence. I've seen some incredibly useless dudes sit back and rest and vest for m

I'm always so impressed by Postgres' features and performance. I am unfortunately not as impressed with Postgres' operational model. As a disclaimer, I'm not highly familiar with very many databases, but it seems like Po

I'll take a ban to say this is the dumbest thing I've read all week congratulations.

This comment is what is called "attacking the strawman".

Not to be rude, but if you googled his name you would have found all the information you could possibly need about why he’s considered important. For convenience here’s a link to his Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&

Paul Graham is in desperate need of people in his life that tell him 'no'.

How do people still attack the straw man like this and reduce everything to “communism bad”?

This is such a strange post. Mr. Graham speaks in vague generalities, then finally hones in on a specific idea seemingly out of the blue: > For example, how can it be that a large number of reasonable, intelligent people worry about some

They're not banning detention centers, they're banning private detention centers. I was confused at first too.

I use function keys extensively by touch. It's the most infuriating thing too when my hands drift while feeling for keys and I accidentally press a bunch of keys on the touchbar without realizing it. I used a macbook with a touchbar fo

Or you're just conceding that software is imperfect and trying to make it as error free as possible is the objective.

That’s why there’s no warning labels or disclaimers anywhere else in life right?

Your comment reminds me of this: https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2018/04/28/meta/ >"I am THE ONE. You only need to know me. I am better than all of you."

>They’re perfectly up front and obvious about it, not hiding anything. Wtf, this is the opposite of "up front." You had to poke around and figure it out yourself based on a suspicion. Up front means that they just tell you, no

I really don't think so, I've never heard of this company I didn't know what they sell. I had to poke around the website and read the comments here to realize. That's really the exact opposite of being up front.

If you're going to tear down a competitor's product and shill your own you should probably be up front about it.

I think you generally have the right sentiment, but some of these solutions are born out of necessity. Using containers at scale is really hard when you're trying to solve for optimal resource usage and resilience. These abstractions

There's actually a good reason to not use SSH on a non-privileged port: It allows an unprivileged user to bind their own binary to the port when SSH restarts or otherwise stops listening.

That's entirely not true. The team was always forthcoming about the fact it was Mattermost, at least to other engineers. Mattermost didn't work out of the box, and certainly not the way and at the scale Uber needed it to. I'm

I think you're being overly dismissive of how much work that team did.

I accidentally left this point out. In retrospect it's easy to say Uber made the wrong decision to make uChat but it was one of few options at the time.

This blog post seems more like a marketing grab with generic platitudes than it does genuinely helpful advice.
