I'm sure that's true. But I am fairly sure we live in the world where when something works on 3% of the visitors and the previous thing works on 2.6%, the company does the new thing. That's nearly 20% growth! Meanwhile, 97% r

We don't use systemd, so we haven't had issues with it. Things get deployed by the automatic deployment system. If they go in cron, they are supervised by a program called errorwatch which does all the things that you want in a on

District is unusual. There's no federal sales tax, but if you're selling internationally, there can be border fees of various kinds. State sales taxes are nearly ubiquitous. Large cities or counties might have a sales-tax addition

Zulip isn't a Matrix server. Zulip doesn't federate. If you want a private, non-federated chat server -- for your organization, basically -- Zulip is awesome. If you want federated chat, Zulip doesn't do that.

You missed the big one: If you can find reliable evidence across time, space and cultures that humans have complained about the same X, then complaining about X is part of human nature in, at least, cultures that leave durable evidence.

"Waymo's focus on ride-hailing makes some sense. The reliability requirements for ride-hailing are much lower than trucking, making it a more lenient business. If you have a truck full of cargo, it's a major issue if somethin

Knives are not particularly aerodynamically stable. (Not these, anyway.) They need some spin to avoid tumbling erratically. Nobody cares which point on a baseball hits the bat, although they do care about spin because it contributes to path

Words are tools of communication, but they are also tools of deception and obfuscation. They never represent reality correctly, but they can be useful. There is a chain of complexity where subatomic wavicles assemble into atoms, molecules,

If I didn't care about discoverability, I could reasonably reduce that to: * Lock button. Hold it down to get a honk. * Unlock button. Hold it to get the car started; if the interior temperature of the cabin is outside a set range, war

In my experience, people like the following remote features: * Where's my car? Press the button, get a honk. * Lock the doors. If they're powered, close themi first. * Unlock the doors. If they're powered, open them afterward

If I tell you that there's a remote code execution in libfoobar-1.03 through 1.15, how long does it take you to verify where libfoobar is installed, and what versions are in use? Remember, nobody ships an image layer of libfoobar, it&#

All of these problems are about dependencies. And dependencies are about the way that we went from a blank slate to a working system. If you can't retrace that path, you can't debug. If you don't have tools to track the path,

I rejected paying that tax, and moved to XFCE. As far as I can tell, the GNOME people have not had a good idea about window management since GNOME 2. If you like it, great, use it. The point of freedom is to be able to do things they way yo

Correct, although there is a legal conundrum. If you fire someone without cause, they can claim that you actually did have a cause, and it's one of the illegal causes. So, it's safer to compile evidence and fire someone for any le

I can explain the theory. In scenario H (for hard to fire), we expect employers to spend more time evaluating new hires, because if they make a suboptimal choice, they will be stuck with that employee until they can justify to the authority

One of the things that can be done is to maintain the illusion of a high rent by working out lease terms. For example, a 60-month lease at $75/sqft might come with the first 4 months of rent in each calendar year for free, making the

Typical business leases were 5-10 years. If you weren't willing to commit to 5 years in 2018, nobody owning a building in a major CBD wanted to see you. You could get sublets from businesses that wanted to recoup costs while moving to
