Sounds like you just got lucky with the versions you happened to need vs what the system versions were on your version/distro of Linux. It's not like Linux has a built-in solution to the problem, you can definitely still have issu

I feel like the problem with that idea is right there in the first sentence of the wikipedia article - should be dealt with at the most immediate (or local) level that is consistent with their resolution. Who decides what level that is? I

It all depends what you calculate to be the biggest risks that you're protecting against. If it's collapse of world civilization, or at least your own country's institutions, then storing your own coins makes sense, and yeah

Yeah I don't get why he went the charity route at all. It's completely out of left field, and makes the situation in which there was clearly already a misunderstanding even more confusing. Is this a common means of payment for lic

We use the same settings in Github of squashing PR commits. I guess it's a matter of preference but IMO this workflow is a better version of what the article describes. You get the best of both worlds, you end up with a very readable h

I don't think this is an EU vs US issue or an arbitration issue. Even if every dollar you spend while traveling is reimbursed, you don't really get compensated for the non-monetary annoyances of traveling. You might have to fly at

Does anyone else feel like the entire system of expensing is kind of bizarre? This is kind of a tangent, but I feel like a few examples of expense fraud are less interesting than the fact that we're all using this deeply ingrained syst

Everything you said could apply equally well to cars. Especially "the result for those of us who don't use them is garbage some random company(and individuals) feels entitled to clutter up the sidewalks(streets) with". Also,

I had similar concerns but have sense become a big convert of GraphQL. 1. Browser caching is replaced by the graphql library (at least in the case of Apollo which is what I've used most). Which, as far as I've seen, is a fine one

How come the "ECU" ratings aren't listed for the A1 types in the pricing page? In particular I'm wondering how the vCPU's compare to the equivalent m5 instances. I.e. a1.xlarge and m5.xlarge both have 4 vCPU's,

I really think that running a LAMP server for the average beginning developer these days would be just as complicated, maybe more complicated, than running a single deployment on Google Kubernetes Engine. You have to know about package mana

I don’t get how there isn’t more demand for this, to me it’s such an obvious pain-point for personal computing these days. I guess the number of people dual booting OSes or even using external drives at all these days is so small? I feel li

Why not Manhattan? The sidewalk docking might be an issue in some neighborhoods but if they managed to get street docking areas like the citi bikes it would be a perfect fit in Manhattan as well.

This looks really interesting. (And in case anyone from the Apollo team is reading - just want to say I'm a huge fan of the product in general. Keep up the great work!) The one thing that seems like a bit of a tough sell with this anno

reserved pricing is ~$900 for 1 year contract or $600 for 3 years. So the 3 year term is basically 3:1. It is annoying that they don't abstract this better to make it less complicated to sign up for.

Can I ask why? I'm genuinely curious. My understanding is their core business is selling Enterprise support for linux, which, no offense to them, doesn't strike me as particularly interesting. I know they also contribute a lot of

Seems like splitting hairs. Maybe the scooters can accelerate a little faster with less effort, but I don't think it's really that big of a difference. As for average commuting speed, I've ridden them on a bike path and I pas

This has been similar to my experience recently with a package marked as rejected. It's a shitty caught in limbo situation - they refused to acknowledge even the possibility that the delivery service might not have made an honest effor

Users absolutely want complexity. Obviously most people would never say it in those words but lots of things they do ask for come with a lot of inherent complexity. Things like "it should just work", or remembering a preference fo

For a quick order of magnitude comparison, taking SF as an example - as near I can find, there are somewhere between 5k and 10k airbnb listings in the whole bay area. But to be very conservative let's assume 10k and assume they're

I feel like whenever I hear crazy stories like this about healthcare it usually involves these weird in or out of network issues. I'm certainly not an expert on healthcare, but is there no way to attack the problem from this angle? If

None of these problems are GraphQL-specific though. Say someone wants to build a feature that requires some attribute or joined model we weren't exposing before. Maybe someone else tells them no for all the caching/performance&#x2

There was an interesting Planet Money episode about this [0]. Apparently the lobbying by Intuit is actually fairly minor compared to the opposition by Republicans. Some group of Republican legislators came together and agreed to oppose all

This looks really cool, I'll definitely be looking into it more closely when I get a chance. Obviously this is a conflict of interest for Google, but just curious if you know of any plans in the works for being able to run this on AWS

I think what you're saying is true in the case of someone just throwing up some code they wrote online without any plan of supporting or developing it further. But once you call it an open-source project, and you have docs and a roadma

This is a cool project, I'll definitely keep an eye on it. I've long wished that something framework & language agnostic like this existed. One suggestion for the docs, especially since the tagline is that this is a cloud-nati

What are you talking about? I have so many questions - who is uncle Bob in this scenario, an AWS employee? Who's uncle is he and why is that important? And what makes his flash drive fancy? AWS has several encryption products you can e

Surely you're trolling? Good for you that you live somewhere affordable. Lots of people (much more than 1% of the population) don't, or can't find these "good jobs" you speak of right out of college.
