Norcal is an amazing bunch of people with a high stress life-and-death job. They're incredibly accommodating, but when the system is at capacity it's at capacity. SFO is a very special airport with a traffic flow much higher than

After four months , only 50% of the developers though they were as productive in Rust as other language. Given that the respondents are arguably a very capable group of engineers, this doesn't seem that great for any company lookin

Reddit has to make money in order to exist, and Apollo is undercutting them by providing an ad-free experience for less money than Reddit would be making from ads. You don't see the problem?

I don't understand the outrage at all. So he is saying that the average user will cost him $2.50 in API fees/month. Since Apollo users are probably significantly more active than the average reddit user I can only assume that the

You earlier described working at a "FANG:ish" company, do you actually work in M-FAANG? Where I work you get nowhere without convincing XF partners to do work for your area of responsibility, and if you come across as an asshole,

If you had asked me 1 year ago whether I would pay $75 for a coding font I would have laughed at you. And yet, here we are, my font of choice is Berkeley Mono any day, everyday.

One thing that I've found over and over again, is that if something is hard to name, there is often a problem with the abstraction itself. Most common issue is that the thing that resists naming is doing multiple things and that it sho

It'd take the flawed XMPP protocol any day over the ad-hoc implementation of Matrix, which hardly even deserves to be called a protocol. Matrix feels like something made by making things up as the wrote the code, there is no coherency
