No True Scotsman... I like the drawings. Cute, positive and informative. Superficial way to judge the content, too.

If it isn't clear, this is the transcript of the first episode of a podcast called "Masters of Scale". https://mastersofscale.com/

Here's a question: Is Picasso a 10x artist? The thing about the 10x claim is that it takes something complex and creative and applies a scalar multiplier to it. Talking about 10x programmers is _semantically_ problematic.

I am German (and drive a car) and as per my understanding this traffic light could simply be removed with the only change necessary being a stop sign instead of the Yield sign. The explanation given by the city (or its translation) don&#x27

This also explains why dynamic languages can be easier to work with especially for less-than-expert programmers. You can start experimenting with the program at runtime while the program still is very incorrect. The type checker would requi

Hundreds of millions of people have lost their fortunes due to inflation. That's a social problem which would be solved by cryptocurrencies. I can also recommend this podcast on the topic of current real world applications of Bitcoin:

I agree that my claim is false. I kind of wrote that from the top of my head. In any case, the point that I wanted to make in the parent comment was that the JVM startup time itself was basically fine. I just checked on my Macbook and a Hel

I agree with many points in this article. That being said, there are dimensions of heaviness not captured in the article as far as I can see: 1. The startup times, not so much of the JVM itself, that just takes 1,5 secs, but the startup tim

"The Goal" by Eliyahu Goldratt, while set in a traditional manufacturing world, does a great job in clarifying the role of constraints in any team effort. It's written in the form of a novel. It is not perfect. I think it has

The attitude with which the article is discussed in the mailing list is admirable.

Well that's a simple and convincing answer. Thanks.

What I don't understand about this: Why didn't Google/Android use Java under the Open Source license under which it has been provided. Wouldn't that have saved all the trouble?

that's the way it is in developing countries. People have tremendous individual wealth but can't buy clean air, better transportation, electriicity or a rich cultural environment (e. g. public goods).

Money is not a con. It is a very valuable invention that makes exchange of goods way more efficient. Just because something unfairly advantages some people it doesn't follow that it's not useful. PS: Yes I heard the sarcasm in you

some podcasts have chapter marks. They allow you to do just that. Anyway, check it out. I use the Overcast podcast client (iOS), which supports this (among others). Some podcasts even provide full transcripts (e. g, Freakonomics). If the po

What scares me is their inability to fix things. Apple Music has been slow and unreliable as hell and with awful usability from the start. And it has not really improved at all. They likely see the problem but can't execute.

I sure hope they improve on Apple Music. The API responses are so amazingly slow, and large parts of using the app are really bad.

What is the top 1 percent's share of the world's consumption? Wouldn't this be a more useful metric than looking at wealth or income distribution? Consider the following scenario: In a (conventional) socialist society the sta

Please expand on what you mean by "code bottom-up". I am somewhat skeptical about your advise to be honest, although I certainly agree that taking responsibility is important in oranisatitons in general.

A blob (binary large object) is binary by definition, right? Seems like a strange way to put it.

I mean how much latency is even acceptable? If Django is able to deliver a result in 200ms can I even accept it being delivered with a latency of 280, 400, 700ms? The long tail of these graphs seems almost useless to me for real live scalin

not sure if this is just a joke but if it's half in ernest, I've seen a few people die in their 50's from lung camcer. I think when you're in your fifties you'd still have 15 good years or so. Maybe more.
