i don't think that's a real threat -- i don't think development environments are likely a huge income source for them, either. i think they'd be better served by letting me develop more quickly, so I can help my company

i wish aws...and to be honest, most cloud providers put more effort into the development experience. they have local dynamo, but i believe that's the only official appliance they provide. I think it's especially necessary for the

Obesity is a problem, so we shouldn't combat anorexia, because it's a smaller problem? Should we abandon flu vaccines because covid is a worse virus? We've got how many billion people on this earth? I think we can afford to

I don't think it's really fair to reduce it to dick measuring when there's just a ridiculously enormous class divide.

Op brings up points that directly contribute to why there's been such a need to work from home. get out of here with your negative horseshit of a reply and find some way to add value to the conversation.

Or not. This often applies to sayings like "no offense but, <offense>". I can easily find room for "I'm sorry for rambling on, ..." to account for people not feeling like there's room for their input. S

ugh, you also have to pay the employees, too! why can't there just be some option where a company doesn't need to make any of these silly tradeoffs!?

I think that'd be a ripe thing for SCOTUS to determine (though, I personally don't trust them to determine much right now, so ymmv) There's probably a good argument that the government should have to invoke eminent domain and

I think it's worth considering that this isn't just any particular customer or individual -- it's a state government. I don't think private businesses should be obligated to work with any government for any reason.

That'd be detrimental to the EgoOps everyone has adopted to help them feel like they're part of some special forces team.

It had been believed to have been fixed over 5 years ago, and had no follow up from the reporter to confirm or refute. Why should a maintainer spend more time on it at this point?

Another consideration: we shouldn't be relying on copyright law to protect against doxing. Online privacy rights should be their own thing, and treated much more harshly than copyright infringement.

Very nice! I only took a quick gander at the code, and I only dabble in PBR & path tracing as a hobbyist, so forgive me if I'm asking poor questions here -- Have you thought about implementing a bidirectional integrator? (it looks

You're kind of reinforcing the point though -- now you've got a whole team distracted by picking up a new language....why? how is it a good use of anyone's time? And it'll be a perennial training issue in the case of an

I think there's two different issues: 1. picking a language/tool that a company doesn't have personnel with experience using it 2. picking a language/tool that is esoteric, which generally implies #1 as well. #1 on its o

It's a challenge, because on the one hand, the negative self-talk can be motivating, in a not so great way (ie., hyper-vigilance)...but also, we've got society continually calling us lazy, uncaring, unmotivated, etc. to the point

Given go's nature of being more network oriented, I think these questions are a bit disingenuous. Go comes with a lot of facilities for testing the things it's good at. If testing GLSL shaders, or gui applications is difficult, I&

For anyone curious, this is something that's been discussed on HN at length as a result of a lkml thread https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/11/103 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9629

Also an engineer - I've always found this to be really disrespectful. It's not multitasking, it's ignoring the people around you. If the meeting isn't worth your undivided attention, it's better to drop the orga
