Ryan doesn't claim he can tame it. The post comes off as self-deprecating and not arrogant to me: "Node is fucked too. I am also one of these people adding needless complexity. ... The entire system is broken - all the languages and all th

Hmm.. I think the point is that people can accomplish a lot more when they are playing instead of working. I think the strategy works as long as you produce results that are better than your peers. Sure mgmt/profs will complain how your est

one idea: i'd be cool if you could see pics of who ranked who how. like if i could see a bunch of tiny pics of who ranked my photo introvert vs extrovert. that way i can see what people who think of me as "smart" look like.

Change the implementation, not the API. Netflix broke their API with their customers, so they're gonna be confused and upset. No explanation, no matter how good, will fix that. It's like when you write a long comment in some code to explai

The thing with ORMs is they generally are really more like data structs than full-on objects, but ORMs cause some devs think that's what objects are. When in fact an object is just a bundle of capabilities. While the ORM operations (selec

I feel like you can substitute the word "better" for all occurrences of "lean" in the article and no meaning is lost.

i agree with your point. yet i've seen people make the same mistakes with sql too (they have autocommit=on haha). hopefully whatever solution you have is tested and designed defensively so you don't accidentally rm the queue.

The article mentioned the group praises Ted Kaczynski, so most likely good to read this essay if you want to see their POV. Industrial Society and Its Future (1995) by Theodore Kaczynski http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~harry/ethics/Unabomber.pd

iOS has no concept of files (for the user). There's no common bit you can share between two programs. Of course, there are ways around this (Dropbox API for example). I'd say removing this concept has probably made iOS a lot easier to use.

i always wished that mysql had a skip locked rows feature, so if you do a select for update it would skip any rows that are already locked. this way if you created a queueing system you could run select for update, but then skip rows that

Gonna play devil's advocate here: I think making files in a folder represents the least amount of effort for making a queue. So using one of the systems you described is necessarily more work. I think the commenter outlined the reasons: any

Yes, instead of taking on debt people would be incentivized to save money before spending it. With inflation you get the reverse effect: people are incentivized to take on debt to spend.
