This is not at all the same. These restaurants are willingly and knowingly entering into and maintaining a businesses relationship with the delivery apps. If they're unhappy with the cut that they get, they can either raise the prices

That does seem like it would align the usage of H-1B visas with the intended purpose. Isn't the goal of that program to offer visas to foreign workers when the company is unable to find American workers to fill the job? The program ha

It has some value add features, like authentication that you don't have to handle. It's also an autoscaling API layer if all it needs to do is query several of your backend services. It's probably less useful if you have a

I think you could also accomplish the same thing with a goroutine. Just a struct that stores a RW mutex and a sql.DB connection that has a .Start() function that runs the ping on a loop. On each start of the loop, lock the write mutex, ru

It's just a slight misspelling. It should be "tortious" instead of "tortuous" [1]. Interestingly, my spell checker does not recognize the former, but it does the latter. [1] https://www.merriam-webster.

Why is location a net benefit for anyone but the landlords? SEO is essentially just your digital location. It makes your restaurant easy to find and navigate to, in the same way that a good location makes your restaurant easy to get to (a

Their perception is that everyone in that group did hurt them. School shooters frequently blame everyone in the school for not helping them, and for having a higher social status than they do. I think their motivation is to flip the soc

The term terrorism refers to intended effect by the perpetrator. If the goal is to effect change by creating fear, it is terrorism. If the goal is revenge for perceived wrong doing, it is not terrorism. I would argue most school shootings a

That assumes that everyone believes cheating is "simply wrong". Who is harmed by cheating? Unless you manage to cheat so well you blow the curve, you're not impacting anyone elses grades. And of course everyone has an incenti

I would argue it is the government's job to not allow businesses to impose dehumanizing conditions on workers due to the extreme imbalance of power. It's probably not a risk for most of the HN users. Most of us are in high demand

The time savings is theoretical. If the employees that you saved time from are hourly, you can just cut some hours and probably save money. Although you have to offset that with reduced morale if you cut employees/hours. If you'r

My view is that GitLab is more prone to feature creep. They have a lot of innovative features, but because of the number of features, most of them really only feel 90% or 95% of the way there. GitHub chooses a smaller number of features,

Another reason is that it gives you more agency to adjust your code. Want to refactor? Cool, I don't have to talk to 15 teams about how this might impact them. Same thing with changing a schema, changing scaling strategies, etc, etc

One of the lines is going to be acceptable performance. Your phone number formatting microservice is going to be orders of magnitude slower than a client library. The auth service will likely have to hit a DB anyways. Assuming the microse

You could use Git LFS to store anything ending with a tarball extension. It's pretty well supported by most Git servers (I know GitHub and GitLab support it off the top of my head). You do need the LFS extension for Git to use it.

Pattern matching is still branching. An elegant way of expressing it, but it is branching none the less.

That doesn't seem possible. A function with no flow control statements has a cyclomatic complexity of 1. I.e. function retVal(x) { return x } has a cyclomatic complexity of 1 because there is 1 path through. Even ignoring that issue,

I've dabbled in a tiny bit of Clojure and Racket. Thus far I'm enjoying Racket more. The two things I dislike about Clojure: 1. Running on the JVM means that you can use Java libraries, but the syntax to invoke them is messy.

Not necessarily. You could probably catch 90% of people just by using some simple matching. The top social media sites have a pretty distinctive layout you could match on; and you can diff screenshots to catch people who are constantly AF

You can certainly run more than one Discord server on a single running instance of the bot. That's probably more code, but you could run the web server as part of the same process. I would generally discourage that though, because th
