I have to laugh whenever "hedonic pleasure" is brought into the discussion. If avoiding your thesis by emptying the dishwasher is "giving into pleasure," why is there so little pleasure involved, and is it hedonism again

I was looking into it as a scalable solution for the backend of an app, but I was turned off by reports of high latency (up to a couple seconds) and the initially low limits for the service (they've been upped, but I think it was 60 se

There's a kernel of truth in that a lot of start-ups are pretty bad at product development or working in a sustainable way that produces quality results, because the founders are focused on something else -- the "vision", the

Does anyone else here think that using WiFi for controlling lights (and other such applications) is a terrible idea? Every WiFi router I've ever owned had a range of about 20 feet when there are walls involved, and a typical WiFi devi

This is acceptable for a wide range of apps. EtherPad, for example (which used MySQL) only flushed every second or two. If the database crashed, then yes, you'd lose the last couple keystrokes, but that was so extremely rare it didn&

When a company buys a 2x faster copy machine, they don't double the salary of the human operator. If a department is able to lay off half its staff thanks to automation, they don't double the salaries of the remaining staff. Ther

At the company I work for, everyone is fully accountable for results, not just VPs. Individual engineers are not off the hook just because they followed the agreed-upon plan.

It's intellectually dishonest and detracts enormously from the quality of the article. You can see the author taking her unique experience and awkwardly shoving it into some familiar narrative. I'm also skeptical that her thought

I would say the author had an "illusion of competence" rather than an illusion of control. In this case, at least, experts could have explained to him what he was doing wrong in objective terms before the crisis; he just didn&#x2

It produces "rich text" in a clean JSON format, which is one of Quill's strengths IMO. It's also what enables it to be used for real-time collaborative editing across browsers without any weirdness about HTML normalizat
