Conversely, what suggests GitHub has a huge operating cost? Running a GitHub clone at their same scale as a customer on cloud pricing would likely be insane. But y’all know infra is actually quite cheap when you run it yourself right? It’s

I commented elsewhere but my schooling had a pattern of: read > analyze/discuss > watch movie > analyze/discuss. Most of the material has film adaptations and this was fairly sufficient in closing the loop during the cour

A lot of people revisit these works later in life and have even further appreciation of them. I think it all validates the goal is to teach learning as a life skill. Learning is never complete. Even things you know, you may not understand u

This was my thought as well. They were teaching us not to just read the words for their face value, to imagine the time and place the events occurred within. Honestly, this is why at the conclusion of many books we would watch the movie (wh

This probably differs a bit by your exact profession and circumstances. I could see devs and technical people (most of HN readers) to prefer and have success with this when operating with like minded peers. It doesn’t scale much outside tha

Hard disagree back. Email has multiple contexts when I would say that short form is ideal and should be the default but at times a thoroughly long form email is needed. Or, honestly, you just need to create a document at this point. It coul

Software eating the world was a cute saying until it physically manifested as datacenter proliferation. I think it’s the case that people simply don’t like tech right now. The industry has gone from hero to villain in many people’s minds. W

A lot of those performance issues in enterprise systems are platform specific to begin with. I’ve never seen what I’d call a high performance ERP, even when on the cloud. It’s usually poorly documented. It’s unclear when a pick list passes

If a dev forgot to obfuscate the password and rendered it as plain text on the screen, then what are the chances they remember to program the blur into this screenshot api hook. Or why not add an alert, “what me to blur sensitive info? Yes&

I’ve tried to utilize this stuff on a development that is near a flood zone, and boy is it tough to get building inspectors and even engineers in the US to look at any material they haven’t already seen before.

I'm originally from Houston, but have settled in Dallas for my career/mid-life. It's hard to compare the two cities they are so different. The vibrant urban core inner loop of Houston has no comparison here. I miss it the mos

If they zoned it, then the city is saying “you will commute”. It doesn’t have to be unreasonably far away, just less convenient than a Walmart. Most people commute for work anyway, business rent storage/warehouse space in cheaper part

Aesthetics are important. Everyone enjoys looking at a golf course, even non-golfers. Nobody wants to look at a datacenter. My general thought is, what’s the argument for placing them in populated areas to begin with? Why dedicate land use

I live just north of the service area in Dallas and cross into it daily, it’s been pretty great to see the traction it seems to be getting here. The service area is a great way to launch. It’s the fashionable part of town, covers most night

I always hear a phase that goes like “we have a word for it in Language, …”. You almost never hear it said where English is that language. We just don’t have many words or don’t like adding new ones very frequently, it seems.
