>This tool seems useful if you buy into the philosophy, but I'm just not sold yet - component based styling leads to a lot of style duplication and makes it very easy for a developer to go "off the playbook" when it comes

Quixey was the lead sponsor at a large college hackathon (I think LA Hacks) I was at a couple years ago. They were trying to build a search engine based on deep-linking into other mobile apps. A very good idea ("why doesn't google

It would be awesome. There are some polyfilling libraries, like Retrolambda for lambdas, and ones to get streams etc already, without actually using Java 8. Jack broke a lot of things on Android (like some annotation libraries, which the ar

Everything else they're invested in. Subsidizing rides (in new markets I think they sometimes pay the drivers more than the passenger pays) maybe. But new R&D, lik building self-driving cars, doesn't come cheap.

I disagree with this sentiment, I think it's the same in-group elitist mentality that drives so many people away from the industry. Luckily focused study in college can level these two groups you describe, and non-"hackers" c

I think they mean manually labeling data en-masse. Maybe tagging photos with a description of what's in it, as a common example. "Turking" is probably a reference to Amazon's Mechanical Turk service, where you can to get

I loved discovering the main bus strategy in factorio (everything you produce goes on a very wide main bus, so that others can easily pick it off) at the same time I was implementing an Event Bus (post events to one bus, subscribers listen

Lol at narcissism - when you die it sends an email to the creator about how much you love his work.

I think the metrics are more like 1 in 10 go from idea to initial funding, and 1 in 10 of those go from initial funding to Series A. So 1 / 10 culls twice over a couple years.

All of his points except the first two are even more valuable if you don't want to work on a team. When working solo, there's nobody to insulate you when your soft skills are lacking.

What? Most version control systems have authentication systems, I'm pretty sure Google has good reason to keep audit logs of employee's access to schematics.

Tech has been getting consistently worse in the last 20 years. As far as I know, that is _not_ true of finance or medicine. So we have a unique problem.

For Confluence: we've found a much better alternative is Quip - we all love it after the switch. Dropbox Paper is another new alternative that people seem to like.

Agreed that it's not an important part of the post, but as someone currently reforming my ways from double spaces to single, I have to admit they are right. Double spaces after periods are a vestige of the past.

Yup, they have the userbase already. Also, they disrupted the incumbents by being an order of magnitude cheaper (or cheaper than that, based on how many songs you're selling) than their competitors, which helped their userbase grow. It

Section IV addresses this question. Corporate profits may be part of it, but the author claims there's evidence that it's not much of it. He lays out 7 additional causes that may also be going on.

Companies don't pay employees relative to the value provided, they pay them what they can win in negotiation. One of the most important pieces in that negotiation is the employee's opportunity cost. "What would companies in y

Isn't one goal of UBI to allow people to invest in something like education (lowers wages for a long time; promises to increase them after relevant schooling) instead of forcing them to choose the long-run suboptimal strategy of leavin

It's such a dangerous game. After I beat it once I installed Bob's Mods, which makes it take about 10x as long to get to the end. Very worth it if you enjoyed the base game. (just more complexity every step of the way... 12 differ

Doesn't even need to be containers, the key part is having a load-balancer that can shift the load to the new web applications deployed without downtime.

Have confidence in what you do. When you're starting something new - a new company, a new role, a new technology - you'll often find yourself wondering if you're doing it normally, or correctly, or the best way. It's goo

Thanks a ton for this. Viewing a map makes a lot of sense for job searching, since you don't have the issue of people forgetting to search for city names that are different but very close to their intended target. And thanks for making

Well it does, but when most of your org wants / needs to work in person, you need to pay that. The cost of an office is probably less than the value added by the employees who would leave if you went remote-only, at least in many firm

Best practice is to not ask for permissions upon first page load - too many people will leave immediately. Instead, ask for them when they are relevant - for location, maybe once they click the "From" box. For notifications, build
