No idea on how complicated it is to file an S1. I just type code :) From my understanding, the SPAC goes public (with an S1) with the intent to acquire "some company". Then the company being acquired doesn't have to file an S

If it's a monolith you don't have to worry about composing multiple containers. I've put a monolith in Docker so I could plop it on Google Cloud Run.

A counter to this is Stripe's practice of ensuring that almost all emails end up on a mailing list so they aren't siloed just to the participants. I can find and search for relevant conversations that I wasn't first party to.

If someone committed a violent crime and we were worried about them behaving violently again, I would NOT hire them for retail. You have to deal with some real assholes as a retail employee. Sitting at a computer programming is much less in

Charities like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation tend to be one of the charities that critics of rich philanthrophy actually exclude. The common argument is that such philanthropic endeavors should not be at the whims of the rich, but s

Not if you use a different payment processing infra. You are not obligated to use Google's app store or their in-app purchasing system if you install the app through a different channel.

Because on Android Epic can still have users install their games via a different app store.

Ah, yes, exactly. This is kind of similar to picking "boring tech" that others in here have mentioned.

If I'm comparing options, I try to pick what's most popular. Community support, being able to find things on Stackoverflow, etc. is better than the small technical wins right now. And it will likely have a longer shelf life. For s

You mean the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)? That partnership was not to the benefit of China. It did not include China.

I suppose another way of looking at it, is more about what you've mentioned with Stripe, Braintree, etc. A lot of the things that a web business needs to run are getting built out as APIs. At some point, I predict non-tech companies th

I'm actually more of the opinion that a lot of backend is bikeshedding! Branding and UI/UX design are very important for emotionally influencing a customer's opinion or improving their user experience with your product. On th

It is worth saying that TedX is a collaboration and the actual talks are not as directly tied to the TED organization. But I do think TED Talks have jumped the shark, probably before that talk.

The author is saying that we had the tools and the plans, but the system de-incentivizes the ideal response, for a number of reasons the author claims throughout. People in "power that the author approves of" seems like subtext th

I think you could still hack around it, but in a way that would make non-secure emails come across as gibberish to those that weren't using a special email client. For subject line, locally you could encrypt it via the same key that yo

In Smalltalk, does anyone actually modify the production application live? I would think you'd want to modify the live application in devel, and then copy it over. At this point, you can either copy over the difference or just replace

This is what Bazel, Pants, etc (and I'm sure a bunch of other build tools) do for you. You define a dependency graph, then per commit you can see what targets have been modified and then you can run commands on only targets dependent o
