Why not throw the weight behind VP9? edit: I actually am curious, this isn't a question pointed at the validity of Thor. I just really want to see a great, open-source standard emerge and see people get behind it.

My experience with wheels has been that it continues to be an absolute nightmare to deal with Linux distros and we end up building from the tarballed source as usual. Then again, we tend to struggle a bit with Python package management in g

Her experience is certainly very interesting and unique. There's a bit of intersectionalism going on here, though. The experiences of a non-autistic woman in technology, I would imagine, are dramatically different from an autistic woma

What was the end result of your discussion with the CEO? Was everything resolved?

+1 Fantastic. Its hard to receive these reviews as a young engineer, and as a slightly more experienced engineer, it is also hard to give them. But its an important part of the job. Its fine, in my opinion, to give the hard review, as long

All very true, I just think its still a little early to recommend Rust, personally.

I think this is pretty reasonable depending on how severe the issue is. You should have some monitoring and alerting on this. If this is happening once a month under extreme circumstances, its probably safe to let things continue like that

I love how far the world has come over the past few decades. It is amazing how quickly you can get content up and online, and available to people. Great post, I really think it highlights the power of technology and the appeal that it offer

I still feel like Chicago developers miss out on being exposed to the culture of SV or Seattle. I've worked and lived in Chicago all of my professional career, and one of the intangible non-money aspects to this field to consider is ho

I agree with this in principle, but honestly the sampled numbers can be really misleading. It all depends on the magnitude of your visits. If you ask for a year's worth of data for a company with 10 million visits for the year, you&#x2

I loved the article. I think it tracks very much in line with the kind of experiences that I have personally had in working with Google Analytics data -- both via their reporting API and in the dashboard itself. I think GA is a great servi

I'm not sure how I feel about the sort question being a super simple "fizzbuzz" type command line question in an interview. The problem with some of the CLI stuff is that its really a simple yes/no "do you remember

Its good that places like this exist. My experience thus far has shown me that different developers might go through different phases of their careers in terms of how much they like to work. I think the article touches on this a bit, noting

Yeah that sounds incredibly frustrating and unfair from a personal perspective. I wonder though if Google is legally compelled to do this by the US government or if they've voluntarily agreed to block these sites with the purpose of av

I think the sphere of technology where he's focused (frontend) is particularly fast moving right now. It is extremely humbling to read about somebody like this feeling this way. I know many developers, myself included, experience these

Sure. I think this is a good point. I suppose when I was thinking startup I was envisioning a group of more than 1 developer. At least a 3-4.

I really enjoyed this read, and I think the author has a very valid point. I spent the first portion of my college time for example very much in the "I'll wait to feel motivated" camp and had not so great results. I eventuall

+1 on the startup idea. I left a big company to go to a startup and I think its really been a great choice. You'll be exposed to so many new ideas and technologies and really get a chance to expand your skillset. Maybe if you work at a

I feel like the ignorance of developers here is overstated. Most APIs that I know of make good use of the HTTP status codes. This includes APIs from big players like Google, all the way down to small startup APIs. Sure I've seen bad on

They'll be writing this story in 2030, 2040, etc. The A-10 is a good plane and it's not going anywhere. Versions of this story pop up every couple of years going back decades. A-10 is the plane that won't die (After the B-52,

Maybe I'm just thick in the head, but one of the thing that continues to disappoint me about Docker is the size of the binaries. Wouldn't it be good if we could build the container a single time, and then ship that top-level chang

Very cool, like that its in swift. I still feel like I've never had a very compelling reason to move away from psql itself, though?

CentOS is great if you're looking for proven stability. But yeah I've had so many moments of hair-pulling frustration dealing with incredibly outdated CentOS packages (All of them?).

My wife and I are very much into knowing where our food came from, how it was raised/produced, etc. As you can imagine, we shop primarily at Whole Foods (outside of our CSA). We are also interested in making sure we buy these products
