Bummer, I always enjoyed reading about their engineering culture. Seems like a nice place to work. Hopefully they'll figure this out and rebound from their predicament.

Yeah, this is most apparent on their best-seller: Kallax. Try lifting your old Kallax vs the new one. No, you are not suddenly turned into Captain America. It's the new Kallax that's suddenly became so light and hollow.

wow, Google is in full damage control mode. Seems like only the cloud business that's growing healthily. What about their hardware business?

This is the street-smart way of handling this type of danger. Growing up in a dangerous neighborhood in Jakarta, I've used similar tactics many times.

Ugh, with every leap of innovation and technology, everyone bemoans: Won't you think of all these people whose jobs are gonna be lost?? But guess what? Life continues and new kind of jobs are created! Unemployment number is some of the

I must be the only person on Hacker News who dislike Ruby. It simply has too much magic and doesn't offer enough abilities (unlike Elixir or any Scheme variant) to justify the dynamic type nature. Go and Rust are perfect for me (and ma

This whole thing about company/team culture is that it is random. Even when you are at the best team, culture-wise and productivity-wise, accept that this will not last. All it takes is for 1 person to arrive/depart to ruin the cu

I never use TikTok, but banning it seems fair game. China banned a lot of apps made in the US.

It is important for banks to always have a balanced portfolio and regulations to force them to have it. Otherwise, it’s weakness will soon be recognized by some billionaires, Thiel in this case, and they will take advantage of this weakness

Car-centric culture and gun-centric culture is making our society to be like this. Also, most states defund mental health institutions. Finally, the 24/7 news cycle covers a lot of crazy behaviors, encouraging copycats to one-up the cr

She is the last exec I expected to step down. YouTube vastly improved in the recent years. If there's anyone who should step down, it's Sundar. What an uninspiring leader.

In programming, the sky is literally limitless. But you have to find it within yourself to find what's "fun". No one could possibly suggest "fun" to you.

Why would this not matter? Built in Rust means no annoying GC pause, and that's important for a database. And it also hopefully means less on-heap abuse.

I've been telling folks, storing everything all the time is wasteful, a better alternative is: 1. Keep the raw full data for short period of time, at most 1 month. 2. Downsample what you need for longer period of time (5-10% of the ful
