Just comparing to my own intuition, I'd guess it's using a train's departure from the origin station as the "start" time for a trip.

Eh, the whole thing seems very coupled to the Google universe, I doubt it would generalize well outside of it. People really underestimate how divergent the tech is in there. It's really a whole parallel tech ecosystem that's been

You could make this argument about literally any low-probability, high-impact event.

There are giant teams of people at Google whose only job is trying to define things like "spam" and "seo abuse" more precisely in more diverse contexts. There are equally large armies of people outside of it trying to

Also Vim user, and I've always been a little baffled by org-mode in general. There are several Neovim plugins that try to replicate it (either real org-mode compatibility or just a spiritual association), and I've really struggled

It's largely an artifact of trunk-driven development. Everything is behind a feature flag. The benefits of this approach vastly outweigh the drawbacks IMO, but one of those drawbacks is that you tend to end up with large numbers of d

And nothing of value was lost... Seriously, why has Reddit turned into such a feature factory? Are they just flailing around looking for something to do? How about improve performance.

Anyone else find the "Windows Subsystem for x" naming terribly confusing? It sounds like the exact opposite of what it is.

New Yorker or New York magazine if that's your vibe. N+1 is good. There is some way to get print copies of Nautilus but it was buried pretty deep on the site IIRC. That's what I get.

Sorry, but this is incredibly naive.

I think you missed his point. "The media" didn't write this article, a person did. Other people with the same job, who he doesn't know or control, wrote different opinions, so he's not allowed to have/express h

Absolutely this. While of course there are true bullshitters out there, HN's consistent snarky dismissal of any possible value to non-technical business processes, while simultaneously getting self righteous about management's lac

Buried in the article is the fact that the girl in question was screwed over by her collaborators, not by Roblox. Seems like the Roblox organization had nothing to do with it, in fact, and behaved reasonably the entire time. What's wit

At Google anyway, it's fairly common knowledge that cloud is a far more difficult place to work, both in culture and expectations, than most anywhere else in the company as a SWE.

Right, I think that's the case, but it's very difficult to tell where genuine difference in experience ends and difference in the way it's described begins, is the point. Language is just very imprecise in this area.

It is not talking literally about how marriage came to be. It is just laying out a set of incentives that probably play a role in the success of marriage as an institution.
