Funny enough I worked at a ecommerce clothing “startup” that had upwards of $75 million in sales but wasn’t profitable

They weren’t branded as such but the store(s) only existing on the deep web plus the incredibly low pricing made it obvious that these couldn’t have been obtained legitimately, if they were really selling anything at all and not just scammi

Personally I don’t think scamming people who intend to buy stolen electronics is particularly unethical anyways. It’s sort of like...profitable vigilante justice.

Well I imagine an attempt to ban circumcision would be immediately called anti-Semitic and then it would never happen. And that’s something nobody even wants to be accused of, so there’s less pressure to do this than there otherwise might b

Sure Sbarro’s are starting to pop up more but that’s largely just because they want to compete with the other chains. The only one of those doing an Ohio style pizza being Donatos. Decent NY style pizza can be found here as well though. Sar

You’re really throwing the baby out with the bath water here, though. And you have to focus on either straw men or specific anecdotes of “disruption” in order to paint this negative overall picture. In the case of yet another app to order p

There’s sort of an assumption that the status quo is some how morally superior though. And you have to keep in mind that journalists are a part of that status quo. We have one group of elites and their spokespeople bitching about the newcom

At this point I don’t think any company should be relying on on-prem solutions remaining on-prem which aren’t open source. There’s too much to be gained from a cloud + SaaS business model. If you want to be either on prem or just avoid clou

Nothing is "wrong" with it, you just can't feasibly do it for free.

Maybe just map and filter but there are far more operations that can be done on these types than what is cleanly expressed in a comprehension.

I’m not a strong FP proponent per se. I just really enjoy using things like Java 8 Streams, Lodash/Ramda, etc. Comprehensions are nice but they have a more limited scope than functions. Honestly the same can be said for decorators. Use

Some FP constructs can be productive even in a “dirty, mutable language”. It works well for JavaScript, at least.

I'm not talking about anything crazy here, just don't make map(), filter(), reduce() etc second class citizens and maybe even support tail call optimization. Honestly I don't know why comprehensions are so popular either, it&

I'm just hoping this leads to a more multiparadigm Python that doesn't have a seemingly irrational fear of FP

If the evidence used here was obtained via intelligence services partly through hacking, and there is no real "defense" to speak of, why should we take this to be valid? How can we be sure that elements of this evidence haven&#x27

I know a lot of people really don’t like the idea of macOS on ARM, but I think it could be really valuable for the PC market as as a whole. Intel could use more competition. And a transition towards a less closed architecture would be good

Oddly enough most of the startups around where I am at have been based on Rails. Some people use Node as well. That’s about as $hype_of_the_year as it gets here.

Java is old, and it may not be fashionable, but it’s still so widely used that every other JVM language is just a drop in the bucket by comparison. It’s not particularly difficult to learn either. Seems like it would be good for your career

I hear things like this a lot but I never hear how you could accomplish the same things as Kubernetes (or any other orchestrator) without containers. Even if there were good solutions available for this, and the only advantage of containers

Although it's a bad point without any concrete examples. Without that, it just seems like a baseless emotional reaction to not liking something new. I might even be inclined to agree if there was a bit more detail given.

Honestly if this is true in your organization you should probably be looking for another job anyways. Even if this is common that doesn't mean it isn't dysfunctional.

It's a bit naive to assume that privacy is a binary "conservative" vs "liberal" issue. Specifically applied to ICE I'm sure a "liberal" court would have been opposed to it, but both parties are very a

Yes, but "monolithic" web applications can be built in the same way. It might not be a 100% accurate usage of the term, but microservice/SOA advocates love to call modular applications monliths anyways, to the point that it&#

by jrs95 8y ago
And running an integration test on a single modular application is easy . Doing it for a distributed system is very hard .

by jrs95 8y ago
I think this is probably true for larger or more distributed corporate environments, but I think a modular monolith is going to be a more productive and flexible architecture for most teams, and should be the default option for most startup

The keyboard aspect isn’t as bad the as storage and RAM limitations imo. Very few people are actually going to be able to do anything with the base 64GB/4GB configuration, even people that don’t know anything about specs. A lot of peop

They don’t necessarily have to ruin HBO in order to compete with Netflix. They can expand HBO Now as a platform while allowing HBO to continue doing what they do best.

This would actually be way better for me because I wouldn't give a shit about any of the conversations I might overhear, if I could actually make any of them out.

This is a big problem for me as well.
