I suspect a successful city depends on diverse housing availability. Having too much high and medium density brings its own issues, same with too much low density. There's probably also something to how those are arranged within a city

I'm in the process of buying a place in mostly cash. I had been saving in expensive parts of California for the past four years, so with that as my target I was able to pick up a very nice house in Portland as the price corrected from

I get called an "Infrastructure Engineer" sometimes, I've also had the title of SRE and SWE. I don't really feel like any of these actually fit me. I do work on Cloud Infrastructure at times, but honestly it's the s

Anecdotally I had a misandrist/sexist teacher in fourth grade. It was the first grade where they split our maths class. I didn't fail the class, but that teacher rode me extremely hard. She did do other abusive things, like encour

I guess it depends on what you're comparing Kubernetes to. If what's being compared is a large codebase with lots of loosely connected cloud formation, then Kubernetes can make your life easier. If what's being compared is a

That's not even a joke. One of the premises of a copyright is that you defend your intellectual property or lose it. If the system were more equitable then it would defend your copyright.

Personally, as someone who is very passionate about privacy HN is not a safe-harbor for pro-privacy talks. Anti-privacy people come in a lot of shades. Some of them like to think of themselves as "good people" who never need to be

Drinking is a bit special in the addiction category. I've listened to my partner explain to me her struggles with drinking. I'll do my best to recount what she's said, with some paraphrasing. Drinking is a cyclical activity,
