You don't need ultra performant memory management for most of your code. Swift compiles to machine code and ARC is fine for most use cases and you can use unsafe raw pointers etc for your occasional hot code path where you want to opti

Sure but that doesn't mean there will be a recession. Sometimes it's just necessary to switch fields (ie horseshoe makers when automobiles were getting popular).

Retirement doesn't explain the economy adding 230k jobs. Retirement leads to the same jobs being backfilled. Housing market is a completely different discussion. Interest rates rising of course lead to price drops here. I'll start

Unemployment is at a record low. US economy added 223k new jobs in December. US Q3 GDP increased annualized 3.2% over Q2. Some companies are doing layoffs (mainly those that overhired during COVID), others aren't. Look at the data inst

As somebody else in the thread wrote, it's really hard to know what the culture is like when evaluating a new job, unless you are very upfront regarding your expectations with your future manager.

It depends on company/team culture. I've used a similar policy to take 40-50 days off per year and got great feedback on my leadership and contributions in the past. People on my team took similar amounts. Everybody was happy with

I trust technology at this point much more than the average driver (in normal conditions)

Isn't the definition of level 3 that you don't have to do this? Is your point that the claim of level 3 readiness is false or that all autonomous driving is somehow inferior to non autonomous driving?

I was more thinking about me being tailgated at 2 ft distance and then overtaken on an extremely narrow mountain road near Arco. People were honking while doing this so people in the oncoming lane around the bend could start breaking (I was

Just don't apply this to variable or function names please, thanks!

I like explicitly listing dependencies (as interfaces, as you shouldn't depend on abstractions). Golang's context are also a nice pattern for bundling them opaquely based on scope if you just need to pass them through (for logging

There's also the risk of collateral damage to BTC and other crypto assets. That sweet money you are making is coming from somewhere.

There's objective aspects of safe driving like leaving enough distance between vehicles (depending on speed) that are wildly ignored. You might get used to that in practice but that doesn't make it safer.

If you have friends that give you billions of dollars then that's fine, it's their money. If they do it with the intent of manipulating stock prices then it's obviously illegal. This isn't market inefficiency in either c

This also has nothing to do with freedom of religion. Freedom of religion is not the freedom to impose your religious beliefs upon other people, nor is it a right of preventing other people's speech offending you religiously. It merely

The state has no role in this story. This is about a private university firing a private person. "Progressivism arose during the Age of Enlightenment out of the belief that civility in Europe was improving due to the application of new

As I said, with labor protection laws this could have been avoided.

Better labor protection laws could have prevented this. I wonder if it's possible to still sue the university for firing them because of their speech.

Nothing about this is progressive, in fact it is quite statist.

But you can still land on top of HN with a "I replaced kubernetes with this 500 line bash script without unit tests" blog article ;)

Yeah sorry it wasn't meant to dispute your argument, just as an addition.

Now you have "Production Twitter on three machines". Follow the rabbit and you end up with something like what Twitter looks like today.

Sure, but whatever they built themselves to accomplish this is also complicated. I know because I have built such systems (and replaced them by k8s).

"hardware is quite reliable" is not a valid strategy. Hardware fails with some non-zero probability. You need to have a plan in place what to do if that happens, taking into account service disruption, backups etc. Having a system

It's also useful if you want your app to update without being down, which even a single team might want to do.

In addition, you should worry about what happens to your app if a hardware error, network problem or natural disaster makes your machine unavailable.

So some investors believe in whatever PE tells them companies are valued at. The market is not out of the equation here because PE firms are competing with other forms of investment for investors money. If they are much better at valuation
