I guess it’s just a different vision then. Theirs is the vision of a Saudi ruling family with enough capital to survive the collapse of demand for oil over time.

I tend to ask about things interviewers don’t like, would change, or that have been challenging for the company. If you can’t name a single issue in your org that smells fishy to me, but an honest answer indicates an open culture and decent

To be fair, most Software Engineers are able to secure multiple offers and even more interviews. Or at least that’s my impression which may be the result of survivorship bias. And it only gets easier after your first gig. In that instance,

We got rid of standups on my current team and it’s definitely very nice. I think you could probably massage that answer though “well standups aren’t my favorite thing really, it’s sort of a lot of context switching and a lot of times the co

This is my last comment. The Republicans would much prefer to prevent or make it harder to vote for 2%, 1%, whatever. They don’t care about voter fraud. At all. They care about adding enough shit together that they can win elections. That i

When it comes to Uber almost every municipality had already figured out a way to have taxis in their town. It’s just that Uber’s tech scales to national and global scales relatively quickly making mass haggling necessary and since that’s pr

Generally that 6.5% of unbanked persons tend not to vote for less healthcare and more tax breaks for the rich. Instituting the voter ID law makes it harder for 6.5% of people that rarely vote for Republicans to vote to prevent 0.000X% of vo

As I’ve explained, it’s a solution to a problem that doesn’t need solving. Maybe it is a different situation in India, but here the people proposing voter identification laws are doing so in bad faith. They’re trying to make it harder to vo

For a non American you seem very invested in this. I see no proof of people being caught redhanded and that’d be pretty easy to verify since voter fraud is a felony and they’d have a court cases. It would take thousands of cases to sway mos

Hey we did that last night at my cousin’s wedding! Was really fun. I never realized how bright it was or how fast it moves. Really cool to see!

Trump set up an entire committee to investigate voter fraud in the 2016 election and apparently found so little they were disbanded and never released their findings. And I’m not basing much of my world view on that guys unsubstantiated cla

It’s really a shame how insular people have become. Just today I had very pleasant conversation with a couple from Toronto after I helped them figure out which station the train was stopping at. I noticed their Blue Jays jersey and asked if

Voter ID laws to start. It’s a modern day poll tax to require ID to vote which prevents a crime barely anyone is even committing that doesn’t scale easily to sway most elections. I haven’t seen Republicans calling for easy access to IDs tho

I assume, not an expert here, that GitLab’s runners spin up when you make a push that triggers a build. I’ve set up my own pipeline with Jenkins, Docker Registry, and Gitea and when I push a change to Gitea, a hook is called in Jenkins whic

I think a window system makes sense. If you’re 19 and your sweetheart you’ve been dating is 17, that’s a lot different than a 25 year old and a 17 year old I think. I guess it’d make sense to base it on brain development. I have no idea wha

Someone on Reddit says the deposition states that a bystander saw Minksy turn the 17 year old down. However I can’t seem to find the original documents to verify that. And reading too much about Giuffre, my god. The list of powerful people.

Additionally, apparently Minsky turned the 17 year old down. Seems to me it’s some of the other things Stallman has said which are more troubling. Although he has renounced many of those prior statements at the very least. A man of such con

Ah, so I think my interpretation of his Minsky comments was right, although it seems unlikely to me that Minksy didn’t know. The whole legalizing child porn and age of consent thing, oof.

Hmm. Despite that there still a very small percent of all office space. I see 26 locations in NYC, I’m sure I’m missing a few so say 30. Even if all those offices were the whole building (I think many (most) are just a subset of the floors

From reading his comments isn’t he defending someone named Minsk who had sex with a 17 year old and didn’t know she was being coerced into it by Epstein? It seems to be a bit of a far fetched theory to me that this guy would meet a 17 year

That’d reduce rural voting strength from ridiculously outsized to a bit less outsized making influencing our politicians a lot more expensive. It’d be great for the vast majority of Americans but is probably unlikely to happen because the p

I saw Seinfeld perform recently at the Beacon in NYC. He’s doing stand up basically because he’s bored and doesn’t have much else to do. It was quite clear money was not his motivating factor for being there. He’s also doing that Coffee and

Charging based on distance would be a huge fuck you to the city’s most cash strapped. I think the single fare is one of the city’s most egalitarian features and I hope it stays that way. In this age of inequality further burdening those wit

It’s entirely possible as someone reading hackernews you’re far more inundated with news about the tech sector than the average person. I’m not sure this is an obvious perspective to most people in America. I’m very pro public awareness whi

I will add my personal anecdote to that. Generally after not eating for a long time I’ll be pretty hungry, but a lot of times things won’t seem appetizing. And when I do eat I usually fill up quick. And have to wait a bit to eat anymore.

by codyb 7y ago
This rings true for me. It’s gotten to the point where so little looks appetizing scrolling through the myriad options I’ll end up going into the kitchen and cooking anyways.

Yea I only rebase on branches I’m certain I’m the only one working on. Although having two people working on the same branch can be a pain anyways. At that point I’d probably advocate creating a trunk for the N people to work off. But that
