No, this is not a commuter train. And by “the rest of world” you mean Europe and parts of Asia? I suppose Latin America doesn’t exist? Maybe they’re evolved enough to be considered real people? What about Africa? Also still not human?

To me, this is the single biggest problem with welfare. The woman wants to work, yet cannot because she can’t guarantee how fast she will move past the “no welfare and very little money” transition until she gets promoted to full time work.

This. I was an engineer at Splunk for many years. I knew it cold. I then joined a startup where they just used metrics and the logs TTLed out after just a week. They were just used for short term debugging. The metrics were easier to put

This is awful. It weeds out the people who are creative and love to code in favor of those who will memorize answers to get into a certain company.

I disagree. I have done great work for companies whose products I would never use. Does optimizing a database require I follow sports? Not even close. I just have to know the use cases, which I get from instrumentation. This rule might b

Inferior forests are better than no forests. You don’t have to take an empty field and plant 100k trees. You can go to where chestnuts used to grow, have some volunteers plant some over time, say 100 every month in an area. Over the cours

Ouch. I went to a similar school I suppose, UIUC and never had that experience. I once presented the most optimal solution, so I was tasked with presenting it to the class, but I wasn’t put down for it.

I’m a father and can tell you yes, there is stress, but when I look at life without children, I see mostly lives of temporary self indulgence. Parties, skiing, Hawaii, toys, consoles, cars, motorcycles, vacation homes, etc. Over time, most

Not true. Go is also made for this. Node is awful with lots of connections. Go gives me way fewer bugs, easier to properly trace, static typing is a blessing, etc. With a db that can handle thousands upon thousands of connections, Go trou
