People are already working those kind of hours, sometimes more. It's just difficult and they end up having to do stupid shit like have an hour and a half between shifts that isn't really good for anything. Most people who work two

You can survive on 40h a week, but that's about it. I don't think it's worth limiting people who want to do better than that just to try and get people to work less on average. So I guess their achievement just doesn't g

In my experience this problem could be alleviated if it were possible for a worker to work a 50-60 hour week at a single job without incurring additional expenses for their employer. The current regulations around that sort of thing make it

There is no way to clip that video where they did on accident and then spin the story the way they did. They didn't issue that apology until they were caught, which is the exact same thing a politician would do.

I think that may be true, but only because what is widely considered and presented as fact by the most mainstream sources of information actually have a significant center left bias. I think it's generally missed because people confuse

My perspective is that they're basically the same, The NY Times (and CNN and Fox and many others) are just a lot more subtle about it than Breitbart. But fundamentally it's the same thing. There's a pre-established narrative,

NYT might publish actual stories, but they also publish what is effectively propaganda. A lot of more "legitimate" news sources also have a tendency to selective report on things which fit a pre-established narrative on a topic th

Because HN was wrong about their guidelines preventing the inevitable decline of the community and as more people have gained the ability to downvote they just do it over anything they disagree with. I haven't even been here that long

At this point the only potential I see for a viable alternative to Windows and Mac on the desktop is ChromeOS/Android, and that's still not quite where it needs to be yet.

In my experience senior people tend to do this as much if not more than everyone else, though.

Go would probably be the opposite of this, and I would argue that is a good thing. Hiring "smarter" people by picking a more esoteric language is likely to result in you having an esoteric or "clever" code base. That&#x2

Well you've got to consider what's going on at the low end of the market too. If Chromebooks are eating into Windows laptop sales and mostly running ARM, and Apple switches to ARM for some or many of its high end computers, which

If you look up Geekbench scores for these devices at least, the iPhone 7 gets a higher score than the 12" MacBook, the latest MacBook Air, is similar in performance to a 2013 MacBook Pro, and even has better single core performance tha

Even if Apple doesn't pursue this for it's MacBook (I'm assuming they wouldn't for the Pro), I think it's a good indicator for where ARM is headed in general. As these things get faster than low power Intel chips an

In my opinion if you can prepare for the interview, then you can probably pick up anything else you might need to know for the job, too. A lot of algorithms and data structures you'd have to memorize for these interviews are also very

It isn't, but if you want to work for those companies you'd better be prepared for it anyways, because they don't care if it's valid for them or not.

The lack of a good debugger is something that sort of scares me personally. From what I've read it seems like you can sort of use GDB, and there's some experimental tools, which doesn't sound nearly as good as what you can

Yeah, that is definitely true. I was looking at it as effectively being a monolith that existed to facilitate that, but that does only apply to the kernel.

by jsmith0295 10y ago
That's one thing I've always thought when people claimed microservices followed "the UNIX philosophy". UNIX doesn't even follow that philosophy, it's a monolith! Yet it's also a modular system, which is po

I think it's more of whether or not you need that scale. If you don't have the resources for it to make sense to optimize everything like that, you're probably wasting your time and making things slower by pursuing microser

by jsmith0295 10y ago
You could achieve better horizontal scalability by making the monolithic application work in a distributed fashion. This would be easier with some platforms than others. Actor based systems in particular tend to be easier to do this with.

I'd have to disagree with Go not scaling for large projects. A primary goal of it's design was to be good for large projects, and there's plenty of large and/or complex codebases that have been written in Go. Docker, Kub

I think a lot of people don't implement them properly. And if you're an individual or a small team trying to build something it's usually overkill.

by jsmith0295 10y ago
One suggestion I would make if you are going to use microservices is to consider using gRPC rather than REST. You can save yourself a lot of the hassle involved in the communication that way AND make things quite a bit faster.

Or just something someone would say to someone in a hallway just to say something . People have said things like that to me plenty of times before, and I'm assuming it probably wasn't because they mistook me for a woman.

I highly doubt people are frequently being promoted on the basis of gender at Apple. Whoever was quoted as saying they were didn't really provide any evidence other than people being selected directly for the job without it being opene

"The running joke is Foxconn has nothing on Apple." Because joking about modern day slavery is so much better! Especially when they're your slaves.
