Well I’m glad there are so few conservatives worldwide and throughout history who are lonely! A lot less people to worry about then.

Please don’t try to make literally everything about politics and political teams. Applying politics everywhere is getting us into a hell of a mess.

Yeah I agree. Thread safety in ruby is a non issue these days. Maybe this is 10 years out of date experience?

Because it doesn’t become “spent”, you can just recycle it back into new batteries at nearly 100% recovery.

Mmm idk about keeping most of the profits - we could have done so much more in that regard over the last two decades. Missed opportunity to create something like Norway’s national oil wealth fund. Instead of offshoring most of the gains.

Energy and food prices are global, regardless of who trades with who. Try to be less nakedly partisan.

I’ve been wondering about this myself. If you work in publicco tech, all their grants are priced in dollar equiv. So as you say, bouncing jobs right now should give you a ~50% equity boost, if you’re on a 4 year today at your current co. Su

i dont know what you mean by this? Fundamentally, this is a story of technology getting better (type inference in compilers) so humans can do less work. We're not pushing the work to some other human place. We're not losing anythi

> you're not writing code for compilers, you're writing code for people i agree, thats why i don't want to clutter my code with annotations designed for the compiler, not humans. Type inference is a _good_ thing for readab

practically all modern strongly typed languages are adopting or already had type inference from day one, allowing you to do things like var. They give up nothing in terms of strong typing to do so. Forcing people to write manual boilerplat

i know you probably know this & you said OS agnostic - but apple really nailed this between macs and iphones. The shared clipboard feels like magic, and airdrop works great too.
822.
by dalyons 4y ago
Why? The compiler knows what the type is, the ide can tell you the type if you need to know - it’s redundant for you to have to type it out.

there's actually bans against them in most states, from a student campaign in the 70s. Funny little piece of history: https://apnews.com/article/3b2787ac6c32405e8cd7aafe8789cd8e

i lived and worked in berlin, and then the bay for ~7 years. If i still lived in berlin, i'd probably be going into the office. Transit is good, the city is cool/fun, and although its gotten a lot more expensive you can still affo

Just don’t take it as a rule though - I had a kid late also and I don’t regret the camping, brunches, career and travel at all. Some are memories I’ll keep forever and all those experiences make me feel like I’ve had a fullish life already,

Agreed - 100s of engineers is an absolutely reasonable level at which to invest in k8s (or a precursor). At that size I would be very concerned if you weren’t, it would be hindering delivery in a modern software org. It really annoys me on

Why would they pull back from the cloud, instead of just implementing some basic infra ownership and cost auditing processes?

I mean that’s not true? If buying new is crazy cheap and very convenient via Amazon(etc) doesn’t that necessarily undermine the size of the second hand market? It certainly has for me.

That is a pretty extreme take - that frameworks “always” cost more than they provide? On what do you base this categorical assertion? I’ve been in this industry a long time, and based on my experience that’s not true at all. “Sometimes” the

That’s only sort of true. Consumers don’t pay directly, but the carriers charge each other for them, and they still make a lot off people injecting sms into the system (think twilio, marketing, 2fa, application generated traffic). RCS was a

by dalyons 4y ago
RCS is awful. It’s an out-of-date, encumbered “standard” with poor global commonality in adoption. It exists for one reason only - because US carriers wanted some way to keep charging per message like their old sms cash cow, instead of bei

agreed. the overly cynical take is way too negative and draining for something that you spend like 1/3rd of your waking hours doing. Making light friendships and doing the occasional social thing can lead to _shock horror_ actually enj

Specifically in software, hiring is still not particularly objective, despite a decade+ of trying now. We still aren’t good at making truly objective interviews - it’s really hard, I’ve been involved in hiring at many companies and it’s jus

I guess the multi-cultural misunderstanding is an angle I hadn’t considered. However, if you’re not operating in that context (multinational with big cultural/ language differences) I’m not sure why you would pick the lowest common den

Absolutely, we would not hire someone with such a hard line, and we hire a lot of remote. There’s a good reason… a tiny tiny amount of in person time every year or so pays outsized dividends in team productivity

I’ve been involved in hiring at multiple companies with fully remote positions, and all expected travel to a team building offsite at frequencies around once every 6-12 months. From everyone I have talked to at other companies too that is a
