It depends on the market conditions. VC funded startups are not a place where I think that really makes any sense. Most billion dollar startups haven't even been through an entire business cycle. The VC market is not looking for consis

I felt mostly the same way, until last night. Last night was one of the few times I touched ObjC in months, since I was starting a project from scratch, it took me a while to recall the precise details of @property syntax. He's right t

Yup, fundamentally it's not following best practices vs. a few minutes of downtime. It's a far better call than not forcing the update. Of course all the people who built shoddy cloud presences are going to be screaming blue murde

Probably, when dealing with IO bound problems it's important to think of IO as a really long pipe extremely fat pipe. Think oil pipeline. The key is keeping the pipe full, requesting a piece of data based on what's in the pipe wil

You mean import the raw data into a json column and then SELECT DISTINCT INTO? There are only 50 million rows... this sounds like a 5 minute query.

Umm... Isn't a 50 million row export / import usually an hour long task... tops.. I mean assuming you have the scripts? Dump the first DB, import into the second? Maybe a couple ETL scripts in between to massage the data? This tas

Yup, in the market, you're either screwing the other guy, or you're the one getting screwed. This app is like throwing buckets of chum in the water. I bet the market is salivating for the day people start making protest sales base

Yeah, just like waiters diligently record their tips. The IRS isn't going to be beating down anyone's door for $100 in unclaimed cap gains.

Yes, for example the founding fathers might not have thought of growing plants for personal consumption as interstate commerce, or building a private office towers as a public purpose, thankfully we have the SCOTUS to realize that growing p

Crypto is a two way street, it allows gov't to hide it's crimes and people to hide theirs. Given the number of people killed by gov't vs private action in the 20th century, I'm not overly concerned about the crimes of pe

They sure do have a right, they also have the right to get a warrant if they want to search.

RMS would never let practicality get in the way of ideology. The GNU/RMS is best because you're free! (As long as your computing needs are a text editor, compiler, and some unix system utils)

If Ford has franchise dealerships in MA then they may not do this, if they don't have dealerships then they may. Citizen United was about political speech, not selling cars. There's a long history of the court taking differing app

To be fair CPU performance has massively improved since '07, however, it just doesn't matter because everything you wanted to do is fast enough. If you take an modern game and run it on an '07 PC it will be very slow at max s

The entire thing is theatre so why wouldn't they keep up the theatre. The funny thing is most of the fear stems from TSA style non-sense that has people freaked out about radiation. Everyone worries about dirty bombs, and TSA x-rays, f

I haven't seen the particular estimate but it's very difficult to extrapolate repeated low doses into a high dose. Lets take the case of water toxicity, if you're a little dehydrated and you drink 5 litres of water in one sit

Have you ever been threatened with being fired? Try this, ask for a pen and a piece of paper, write your resignation letter, sign it, hand it back to them, and walk out the door. 9 times out of 10 you won't get to the door, half the ti

One of the things I like about working in tech is the absence of the "they terk ur gerbs" type crap. If you're out performed by an H1B you need to step up your game not worry about H1Bs. If you don't have H1Bs they will

I learned an excellent lesson in management from this, got in serious shit for trying to get a guy like that fired. Give them glowing reviews and a transfer somewhere else, in the same way that a null can be cast to any class, someone who c
