Yes. I moved from Australia to the US in 2012 and was amazed to discover paper cheques are still a common transfer instrument, and that bank to bank transfers were not easy, standardised, or free.

Generally only when it becomes economically or legally impossible to continue doing so.

I was forced by management at a previous gig to use a RedHat consultant to set up a satellite server. In the end, I had to help him set it up after it became clear he wasn't able to do it on his own. It was a huge waste of money, and

The behaviour you are attributing to Node is really just the behaviour of poorly constructed software. There are at least some Node-based software products which correctly come up and wait for dependencies to become available -- and gracef

The line discipline in most UNIX-like kernels is generally pretty simple, and mostly open-loop. In cooked mode, the kernel is just accumulating bytes in an edit buffer; if you add one, it echoes it; if you remove one, it probably emits &qu

Whether it's religiously motivated or not, it's always a political view.

Prop. 13 also creates problems with housing supply for people who haven't yet been able to transition to home ownership. It's difficult to strike a good balance here.

I find the reverse is true. My USPS mailbox receives daily credit card application forms, electoral flyers, catalogues, etc. I also get frequent mail from Comcast but they are _all_ bullshit ads, trying to hoodwink me into cable TV. I do

I'd love to see where the practice of photographic plagiarism is covered in the famous culture deck!

I don't really see why having the city run its own Internet service should be considered a resort. Getting the profit motive as far away from basic utilities like Internet transit as possible seems like a win, because you don't w

This is incredibly shallow analysis, if it's even anything beyond poorly regurgitated sales decks. What does that "points of entry" chart even _mean_?

I can imagine this would lead to a rash of certificates committed to repositories on GitHub.

I had an assigned room and desk in our family home when I was growing up.

I suspect it makes economic sense only when your workload is relatively elastic, having a relatively low duty cycle. The ability to pay less when you aren't actually using any resources is likely of more economic benefit as it becomes

This is simply untrue. There _are_ people who want to be software engineers -- I'm one of them! The field is still young, but there are those of us who strive to apply the rigour seen in other engineering disciplines to the work in w

Hopefully that would make it easier to block them all at once!

You most definitely need better colleagues and management.

Sometimes just lying on a bean bag for 20 minutes, without any expectation of even light sleep, is enough to get me through the rest of the afternoon. This is even more true now that I have an 8 month old son. The alternative is sitting at

What if those people or organisations have a lot of repositories and they want to use a naming convention that reflects that maybe, just maybe, only a subset of their code is written in Go ? I recognise that you don't speak for the en

> Too many people have a bad habit of including “go” in their repository name, presumably to not confuse people with non-go version of the code. Note that this is actually a perfectly reasonable thing to do . If I had two clients for s

I meant partially covered by the rent you are able to charge. When I moved away from the house I had bought, I rented it out for a number of years. The rent I was able to charge covered about 90% of the payments, and I put the rest in fro

You keep using the word "just" in what feels like an unusual setting.

At least the partially covered mortgage on a domicile might lead to increased equity in an asset with some long term retained, or even increasing, value. The car financing case seems much more dubious.

Frankly, when was the _last_ time you launched a startup? Why would you waste money on a technology stack which is essentially the physical manifestation of vendor lock-in and rent seeking, all but guaranteed to grow in cost in lock step w

There's in impedance mismatch in that assertion, though. Let's assume that the label "dangerous" can be applied objectively to a feature. What does it mean for another option to be "better"? Better by what me

So "megabytes" appears to be the power-of-ten unit, which is generally not that helpful in practice. ≫ 6 megabytes to bytes 6 MB -> B = 6000000 B Assuming you're sticking with the power-of-ten unit, that
