Yeah, what I outlined above: performance reviews. One possibility: just fire those that have had performance below a certain rating threshold.

It's absolutely ridiculous that the firings were allegedly done using LOC. This is especially true when Twitter has certainly had performance reviews which could be used as much better firing criteria than freaking lines of code. To al

by dom96 4y ago
So you're doubting that LOC was used but also completely happy for LOC to be used as the criteria for firing?

I think the simple answer is that the hype is with Rust so it will be used for just about anything, even if it is not well suited for it. This happens to every language that is sufficiently popular (and probably even some that aren't).

This seems a rather long article to basically say "It's too difficult to contribute to Go". Hope the above saves you a click.

The way the boosters land feels so alien and CGI-like. I'm curious how close you can get to viewing the landings in real life, would really love to take a trip to do that at some point.

yeah, at first glance I was wondering "did they seriously make a website for a colour palette?"

It's quite amazing how many web frameworks are built for Crystal (in comparison to other languages of the same size, for example Nim)

Nope, I've been meaning to do that. But honestly I'd expect the best controls to be picked by default, why am I expected to go hunting for community controls?

by dom96 4y ago
yeah, I've noticed that timestamp thing as well. Super annoying.

I got a Steam Deck with the intention of playing Factorio on it. The controls unfortunately are very frustrating, I'm guessing they made them much better for Switch, I hope they bring the same for Steam Deck.

wow, these look amazing. The way the images of the cards are compressed is very good, they look absolutely crisp and load super fast. In fact, so crisp that I've wondered whether they aren't images at all but recreations of the ca

Temperature isn't the full story, what you really want is the combination of temperature and humidity, i.e. the heat index.

Meta also has offices and thousands of employees in the UK. Presumably the UK government could ban them from operating in the UK completely which would be a pretty big hit to those employees and all the teams that are based there.

All I can say is: finally! This should be rolled out nationwide immediately, but especially in big cities ASAP. As I am typing this I have just heard a loud car that sounds like it's at least 5km away but is still very audible. I live

So what's a better alternative to PayPal and Stripe? Plaid? Square? Do these even offer the same services?
744.
by dom96 4y ago
Would PayPal give the same response? At least with Stripe you know if you kick up a stink on Hacker News someone there will respond, not that this is ideal but I wouldn't expect to hear from any PayPal employees here.

Ugh, that's really annoying. But can they realistically detect an AirTag in checked luggage?

I disagree. I think it's a cool illustration and he looks good in it.

From the article: > Turkish officials say that their measures will bring inflation down in the coming months, but many economists disagree and expect consumer prices to rise and the lira to fall further into next year.

by dom96 4y ago
What's the theory that says interest rate cuts will _lower_ inflation? There must be something, otherwise they wouldn't do it, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, right?
