Linking the publishing source is needed too. So many videos get reposted and mislabeled. Like basically any rocket attack I assume happened in like 2006 and between completely different belligerents than whatever a post claims at this poin

I just think of a zero dimensial object as a ghost. Topological defect. The unpictured thing the contour lines are swirling around. It's influence is only felt by seeing the effects on higher dimensional space, but you can never see th

I might have just drunken too much of the koolade and believed in the mythos of lowflyinghawk + customer obsession. What I meant by this is, in my personal opinion, there were a bunch of half baked products they should have just not mention

Not sure a wooden desk is equivalent to porcelain though. Porcelain cracks, just need a lot of pressure in a small spot to make a big break. That said, .... Really glad I quit smoking anything after seeing the damage a vape did to those

This is why one pager/two pagers also exist, but agreed doing it for every piece of infra glue would be excessive even for a one pager.

Really, none? IDK, I've always thought DynamoDB and S3 were amazing, and Lambda, albeit not perfect on launch, was highly innovative and useful for many, many, many circumstances you'd either needs a k8s cluster or fleet of littl

Totally agreed on the methodology concerns, looks like its trying to err on under reporting. ex all the questions specifying "an adult", which presumes there were adults to take care of you in the first place.

Hey, also ACE score of 6 (apparently). It's been a struggle, and I really should have gotten diagnosed with ADHD decades ago rather than years ago. I regret those that I've hurt (especially those that I love) and the times I was

Why would a startup have a Union? Unions aren't like the bar association, it's not obligatory across the industry, or even the same company. Literally today Boeing is on strike in WA but not in South Carolina, exactly because o

How many professional unions are for jobs that can be done from home in the first place? I don't think teachers, cops, sanitation workers, or iron workers can realistically do their jobs at home

Lina Khan is like 90% of the reason I'm enthused by Biden (now Harris) and it would be an even bigger tragedy than when Google kicked her out of New America. I sincerely hope they don't do that, given I'm far from alone in a

From the same website, other FAANG offers more. For quite some time while I was there, my peers with the same industry experience were earning 50-100% more than myself at Google and Meta. Also keep in mind Amazon is headquartered in Seattl

If you can take it, PTO was one of the better parts at Amazon if you were tenured . I think it was - 4 weeks (20 days) of PTO if you were there for 6 years or more, plus - 6 "personal" days - in Seattle at least, 3 sick days Hol

I don't know who that is but applying my heuristic, yes, I'd assume so. It's a heuristic, not a conviction. Generally I don't bother to listen to the TED talks anymore and I'm much more distrustful in my priors tha

Indeed. By 2016 I think I had moved from "wow tedx is junk but official Ted still has some good stuff" to "man even the official ones really are more hype than substance are are in dire need of quality control"

Worked there for 7 years (left in 2021) and this is an accurate summary of my experience there. Adding on thoughts: One of my biggest gripes was that "make a good marketing opportunity at Re:Invent" seemed to become more important

Personally, I just gave root "enough" and set up a separate user partition. Although admittedly it gets more complex if using lvm, so realistically I end up setting up sd-encrypt on the new drive, manually partitioning, then rsyn

My problem is that, for a surprising number of applications, it's taken me longer to have the conversation with chatgpt to get the code I want than just doing it myself. Copilot and the likes are legit for boilerplate, some test code,

I got some flak at a prior job for saying I had some quibbles with clean code (a few years after I had read it), and I'm glad this opinion is more popular today. There's so much cargo culting hype with "best practices"
