Only my opinion, but it’s all about the opiates. The few European cities that I know of that have had a similar scale homeless situation also had a similar situation re: healthcare and pharmaceutical industry - they’re all in Switzerland. T

Why not just peg your own currency to the dollar and make a constitutional amendment to prevent that ratio from ever being changed going forward? Then you’d avoid all the nationalistic backlash, economic illiteracy, and sidestep (some) of t

If prediction markets could tell the future one would imagine the first person to harness them would now be the most wealthy and powerful person to have ever lived. So, you know, DOUBT.

I have occasional wrist pain (competitive starcraft and being a software engineer not a great combo) - the only real fix for me was going to the gym a lot . Now that I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, most all of my RSI issues have vanished

If I recall the movie correctly they can't cross the mountains so they go south into India - which is where his troops start to give up.

The tone in here sure has shifted. I remember Brian showing us his binder of maxed out credit cards they used to bootstrap the company. I remember the early version spitting unicorn errors every few seconds. A few things can be true at the

I always think of the Oliver Stone “Alexander” scene where he finally hits the Hindu Kush mountains and cries because he knows if he won’t find the “end of the world”. He quotes Aristotle “you’ll look west and see Macedonia, you’ll look eas

I think you're seeing it wrong. When CEOs no longer need scientists and engineers, when they can speak their will into existence directly, they will immediately destroy themselves . This rating system, had the CEO gotten it's say

Haha, what's funny there is the idea that if they paid the VP less maybe it would be worth this time to engage with his employees.

Any annoyance I might have had at the "dog whistle" that is the term "dog whistle" goes right out the window when I see the group logic fallacy pointed out. My entire life is "well sure, some boomers..." and

I think it's any industry which is a very common childhood dream that doesn't have a high barrier to entry. I wanted to be a game developer - I was briefly too - but I'm not anymore. It's the perfect environment to get 2

I only meant to say playing the moral card is pretty weak here. If the moral thing to do is pay people forever to do something you don't need them to do, well, I reject that. If this decision is a bad decision, it will hurt the company

The alternative universe where companies never restructure, never abandon bad plans, and never fire anyone seems worse. You have to make a decision - is work the end goal or a means to an end? If work is the goal - this is horrible and bad

It's also sometimes called the "savior complex" or the "exceptional man myth". The idea is that some of us are so superior, morality doesn't apply to them. They can see the "greater good", so it'

The lizard leaders are feeding their lizard constituency! More seriously, LA in the past 12 months has seen these very large, more colorful, more aggressive mosquitoes that I've never seen in the region before. Mosquitos growing up wer

It’s astonishing to me that car companies continue to push infotainment solutions like they do. It’s clearly outsourced to the cheapest possible development groups. Say what you will about Tesla, at least the center dash feels contemporary.

That’s deliberate - NASA goes out of its way to use ordinary consumer goods when possible. You can imagine how much money you could spend on a special room for billion dollar rocks! Surely 150M is nothing! The actual problem statement: “we

I'm a devops engineer and so am plenty comfortable building APIs, but I use next.js for front-end stuff, effectively as a more powerful "create-react-app". However, I dislike having to caution-tape over the server-side of nex

If you feel stuck in your life that can be a horrible feeling, regardless of how good your life is. When I first got married and had kids I finally saw clearly the long span of my life ahead of me, and all the lives I wouldn’t live… it was

The number one issue is that deployments are blocking, and scaling is a deployment. That means during a deployment, scaling is disabled. This makes safely deploying to thousands of containers during scale-in hours extremely dangerous. Combi

Nomad looked like a good product until I used it. I was so looking forward to a simpler take on orchestration, having spent years in k8s-land and generally being a fan of Hashicorp in the past. My tldr now is nomad should be considered harm

If you want to sort by any column and paginate on any column (so you can have your cursor), a BTREE (MySQL index) is sort of the wrong structure in the first place. You probably want a document store for something like this. Scylla! More
