I opened this up fully expecting it to just be "It's a weird language without many relatives. We'll all be equally miserable learning it except those weirdo Finns. A level playing field for us all"

Specifically Austin vs Seattle, that's a non-factor. No state income tax in WA either

To play devil's advocate, I'm staying where I am. I think long term I'm better off here. Why? - I just got a promotion from associate systems engineer to systems engineer. There was an associated raise :) - My boss is great.

Oh definitely. Going back to that awful hideous cruiser. I hate it so much. But if you have a bad back, that's the bike for you no question. You sit upright and you can add a rack for pannier bags. Upright posture, no weight there. It&

God, that maintenance thing is really a huge factor. I used to be a bike tech. Somebody ordering a $5000 mountain bike might take a full day to put together. But if you gave me $5000 in cruiser bikes, I could have them all put together well

Hilariously, sometimes I feel most comfortable on a bike in the road when I'm being a slight bit unsafe. If I keep to the edge of the lane folks pass by me really close. If I'm going back and forth a bit and taking a whole lane up

I'd just like to say, sometimes moving on is within your company. If you're somewhere that's good about letting folks try out different parts of the business, it can be good to stay. Make a career change and get a new set of

This is why the right time to leave some jobs is "not yet" My current employer is great about letting people transfer through the business, and it's a great place to build a bunch of solid unsexy skills

I remember learning about this on the last day of Calculus class. It was probably the most dramatic classroom moment of any math class I took in college or high school Lots of high schoolers who thought they knew math saw the first little h

This looks super handy as a reference. I love a nice organized diagram when I'm sort of ok enough at something already. I just wish I had a big enough screen to read this all without zooming out

I think the point is that the people who're already on the wrong side of the law will continue ignoring this new law. Mobsters won't stop buying guns because they're banned. Lots of people won't stop using encryption sof

I had something like this in my last job: I had to create an installer for a VCS aimed at chip designer. The installer would be ignored as much as my coworkers could manage, and as many customers as possible had to be able to just use it un

My biggest memory of Fry's will always be the first visit there. My dad needed a new graphics card for our family computer (aka his computer). I think this right after we upgraded to XP. He spent the whole time trying to explain to 7yo

I think there's also an element of constructed boxes to put people into as well. Would I rather say to you, some random person, "I'm gay" and move on? Or do I want to get into "I'm gay, it's complicated&qu

Strongly disagree. It might be ok for one person with one or two devices you don't use at the same time Otherwise, no, strongly disagree

This makes sense to me for articles and the like. If the point of the page is information, it makes sense to me that the page should load content first. OTOH, twitter, slack, and package tracking are consistently changing. It makes more sen

I want to give the deno folks a shoutout I've been learning ES5 for work, and I wanted to get better at more modern JS while I was at it. I decided to write JS solutions for Advent of Code and had to choose between deno and node. My pr

I don't think you're wrong to be cautious about making science too casual, but I don't think everybody will immediately look at the word "hellabyte" and think "Oh, somebody from the Bay named this" I can&#

It might be a silly question, but when you say you're waiting for node.js to die, do you mean node specifically or server-side JS?

Would the highway not be better equated to the internet itself? With AWS, Google Play store, iOS store as toll roads (Pennsylvania Turnpike, Golden Gate Bridge etc...) and Parler, Facebook, HN etc... as car brands? Manufacturers can be forc

I think it can be comfortable. When my grandma passed in October, my cousin had a saved voicemail she forwarded for us. It wasn't long, she was always efficient with her time, but it was her from before the worst of her decline. And it

I could be wrong, but I'd worry about earthquakes severing the lines. This map[0] shows the major faults, but each one of those is a lot of small minor faults that all could snap things and shift. One small fault right by where I grew

I'll hold up the twin cities as a more affordable place with lots of people. In summer, it's very bike friendly. There's a bunch of lakes throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul. Mill City Museum is one of the best I've ever

Is this 86TB of files at that time? Or 86TB of files cumulatively over time + metadata?
