2022 is a great time to join a start up. Tech compensation has plateaued at a high level. The “recession” is good for innovation. And in recent years early and extended exercise have become the norm, so equity is less of a scam. And start u

Agreed. Also there’s an in-between. I think parent’s point is worth reminding us of, because in our consumer-driven economy, there’s no economic incentive to teach people that reducing their consumption may be a reasonable and “happier” alt

Pedantic, but I believe QR is a type of 2D barcode, but your comment implies the contrary. Am I wrong?

Yes, and in the context of Mongo-as-a-Service, it's amazing both to the client and also the service provider (less liability).

How about a service I can pay for that blocks/mutes for me anyone that’s ever had a Clubhouse account, on all platforms?

I am also. iPhone and Slack give me the tools to suppress the noise, but still catch the signal. If I could ask for one thing, it’d be an easier way to toggle Silence Unknown Callers (which is in the anti-spam category, not quite what the a

Thanks for the reply, I’m still curious though > cycling is just usually a good way to maintain a temperature when you've got a pan and some food sitting on top of it since there's quite a bit of inertia in actually changing th

For your consideration: play through Red Dead 2, if you haven’t already.

Would you spell it out for us? If induction cooktops are capable of continuous control of their output, why do they cycle significantly in set temp mode? At least, I would expect them to cycle minimally for fine tuning, relying on the conti

Huh, I enjoy a muted slackbot. Are you sure it’s not just that you can’t mute slackbot when a personal at-mention is “injected” in slackbot’s message? Because yea that’s annoying af. That comes from slack app developers not understanding th

Thank you OP for answering a question I’ve been long curious about but never bothered to look into, and sharing here. I love/hate Terraform. It’s better than any other tool I’ve used for what it does, but the abundance of subtly leaky

Ah, well for what it's worth that is the reason that Cruise provided that their vehicle stopped in the travel lane in this instance. I think it's important to know what the autonomous car was thinking.

Is this mentioned in the article, or do you have inside knowledge, or are you guessing? Edit: you are correct, flutas explained in sibling comment that it was alluded to in article. Thanks you both!

We are talking about weight of vehicle and its impact on brake dust. Electric is another dimension.

Top result for “do heavier vehicles emit more brake dust?” is https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S259016212... > Heavier vehicles emit higher levels of brake and tire particles

Um so WHY was the Cruise car stopped in a travel lane to begin with? I skimmed 2x but don’t see this explained..

In candor I dabbled in Go in 2016 and found the community leaders arrogant and rude. I hope the community has evolved since then to expect more from leaders, but would need to see evidence of this before touching Go voluntarily again.

Obviously there are two sides to the story, but we’ve seen horrible and deep corruption in large, respected academic institutions before, so it’s certainly plausible that this essay is substantially correct. Eg https://en.wikiped

What’s the material consequence of this lack of uniformity? When a new Python developer joins a team, is it painful or costly to accommodate their stylistic preferences? I see a single standard as a nice to have, but as long as the language

For those of us not deeply familiar with Python vs Go, can you share a bit about why gofmt is so much better than the Python status quo (IE what’s wrong with autopep8 mentioned in article?)?

Ironically, I’ve seen “kiosks-only” at one bank branch in the Bay Area, and it was a local credit union.

How about a solution to the structural problem? This isn’t my domain, but just spitballing, we could use public funds to advertise credit unions in low income neighborhoods. Would credit unions want this, or would it lead to harmful consequ

For sure, also I don’t assume people know much about Knuth or expectations for academic work.
