I'm confused, how is a company who hires H1-B visa holders "illegitimate"? Maybe I'm taking this too literally...

My point is these apps exist already, in the App Store...

I've met a couple of founders who started by searching various "segments" of the "on demand" economy and looking for a niche with little existing (highly visible) competing startups. Seriously these folks had zero e

Tech talent is everywhere, not just the "hubs". IMO it's the networking that is harder outside that environment; the hubs have a nexus of finance, talent and buzz.

Thought they existed in the App Store. Either way, I'm still perplexed at what "real problems" would be solved.

Wow, it really has been over 20 years! I caught the bug at the tail end of the beta run. I am not a fan of board games...but damn do I love me some MtG!

i was reading this and wondering why there would be so much emphasis on stuff like apt...then realized that there are indeed developers who've only ever used OS X (and perhaps windows). i guess i assumed everyone ended up with Linux as

Does a time zone key trigger the enforcement a specific ISO standard format for the value?

It is. It's being shutdown. I believe all/most carriers are doing so, which is problematic for lots of cheap iot solutions. https://www.business.att.com/content/other/2G-Sunset-FAQ_201...

I've used elementary before, never encountered any major issues and quite enjoyed the UX clone factor ;)

Even with cad you tend to memorize, that and it doesn't (my exp is limited to autocad) use off hand chording too often. mostly its keying in short commands, such as 'li' or 'c', followed by an 'enter' acti

This is true, and an obvious business decision. I assume if they offered more options (CPU, ram, etc) consumers would certainly buy them. I also assume that each permutation of the product will compound the logistics around manufacturing, m

FWIW Immutable.js is not deeply immutable. Seamless-immutable however is.

I first read bout this a few months ago. Coming from a hardware background I was particularly struck by how damned clever this is!

Fantastic! I had a similar experience in the mid 90s, though I wrote a Zork clone :)

Yeah, even stuff like Niagra is a pain. Most solutions are configurable more so than programmable (in the scripting sense). I've done a fair amount of modbus and bacnet with "standard" systems and more pi-style systems and ag

I'm surprised all they found were PLC based solutions. I worked in lighting and building controls for years and most products used embedded systems and not PLCs.

Ah, I see. Perhaps that would be a reason to keep an ec2 instance spun up to host the functionality that must always have latency < warmup+runtime? Surely suboptimal. This makes me consider running a cron job to poke timing critical lamb

Read through peopleware recently; I was surprised to see it on this list, mainly because it felt targeted more at low-mid level software engineering managers than "devs". Nice list that I'll certainly pick a title or two from

If you are serving high traffic then what's the problem? If your product has only occasional use then you trade cost for latency; spin up an ec2 instance if your request times exceed a few minutes call
