I don’t get what’s interesting here if I’m interpreting this correctly. Paraphrasing, I’m reading the Silurian Hypothesis to be: Geological activity would wipe out most evidence of prior industrial civilization, but we could find larger sca

This was a strangely ill-conceived mic drop.

The article is about Seattle, which is currently a US city, so imho it’s reasonable to have a US-centric view of the problem.

Not only from just existing, but between going to the gym a few days a week and doing regular cardio on other days, I just can’t imagine the absolute rank stink from not showering regularly. Once I thought I didn’t work up enough of a sweat

This is the worst. I was at a startup one time that laid off people who had the right skillsets to fill the roles they were actively hiring for. It sucks when they don’t dogfood current people on the chopping block for open roles.

You’re not wrong, but its the difference between restaurant rare and home rare. Restaurant rare typically comes from a giant pile of meat, many pounds mixed into a large recipe and then divvied out into patties to be cooked to order. This

I run several software teams that all have ML engineers on them, and two ML-specific teams of all ML engineers. Perhaps 14 ML engineers in total across my teams. We pay FAMGAN market rate. Their experience ranges from senior ML (6-8 years e

I feel the same way. The hairpin of emotions from excitement when I saw something promising like acquiring the expiring geocities trademark from the USPTO to yet another shit crypto project was disheartening. Defeat snatched from the jaws o

Thanks! This tracks my experience, good to hear it somewhat justified with data.

I am in Europe now and am an American, I’ve lived in various major cities in USA including east and west coast. I have also lived in a handful of major European cities. So while my opinion is anecdotal still, it’s not uninformed. Comparativ

I noticed this too. This is the typical dark pattern “growth hacking” that makes people distrust apps like Budibase.

Our platform team got into k8s for some reason at my company. Because it’s enterprise there’s never really the “millions of requests per second” sort of problems because every deployment is single tenant. We have experienced k8s engineers w

I would pay as much for this as I would for an Apple Watch.

Yeah, I agree with this. I typically dockerize where appropriate to sidestep this a little, but very often rewrite everything into a more friendly language like Go if I am intending to ship software to other machines. The latter is obviousl

I wanted to take a moment to say that I really appreciate this thoughtful and detailed comment.

It’s more nuanced than this. It’s not “look at this image and tell me yes or no if there’s a car in it” it’s more like “tell me where all the cars are in this image, if any.” We use this a lot, and ramping up recall we can do some interesti

No a forked process only inherits the broadest permissions of the parent and can only downscope.

Can you say more? My spouses family was same, I go visit them in their country and they have lavish wealth (comparatively to others in the country) and maids and cooks and such. But they moved to developed nations like AUS, US, and UK.

Isn’t it strictly better if no groups from the old system got worse, but some groups that transferred got better.

I have a great Dreamcast jersey from this era. It was less me knowing about Dreamcast and more me getting the jersey because even though I know nothing about football, I recognized the name.

I really don’t think you’re being paranoid at all. We’ve seen countless times that even well meaning sellers who are ethical get their products mixed with unethical sellers at the Amazon warehouses. I don’t buy anything I put on or in my b

I love flask so much. Along with requests it has been among the two single most useful things about Python for me and the things I typically reach for Python for.

$10 is terrible. Reminds me, I had a Lyft driver. Took me from the airport, absolutely FLEW, tailgated an ambulance with its lights on for 2 miles, literally nearly hit two pedestrians, ran through a couple red lights just late enough after

I mean, the comment I was responding to literally said, and I quote, “End all wars. Bring all troops home. Close all foreign bases.” So it does seem to me that at least some people want this.

I think we forget over time and become complacent to the strong possibility that the US maintaining its economic and defense hegemony has generally resulted in fewer people doing bad things. So you go from a generation who used the military

I am very, very excited about this. We are absolutely culpable for the absolute havoc we have wrought on the environment. Mindless consumption and endless growth cannot continue forever.

Outdoor Gear Lab is another good one for outdoor gear. Actual things reviewed by real people, though perhaps flawed in the same way as wire cutter. At least it’s real people putting the products through the paces in real use cases. https:&

Could you point me to a thriving community of real people who are artists? Like, a forum of people who are making real art and then selling it? Of course “real art” is a bit of a loaded term, but I mean traditional artists like painters or
