I can't take it anymore. I moved to Codex. I refer to "him" as Claude Shakespeare now... I wonder what he'd say if he knew my switch... Et tu, Brute?

This is the best analogy I've read to explain what's going on and takes me back to the days of Doom and how it was so transformative at the time. Perhaps in time the current generation will be viewed as the Doom engine as we await

That's fair but look at the assumptions currently built into NVDA's stock price. Hard to say for certain but to some it's priced as if it has a monopoly on all things AI for a decade. If you can spend $6K (and less in the fut

I feel validated by this headline/post. I've said the same thing over and over in my career and am always astounded when I get pushback on using them as a means to describe systems and interactions, including from some managers (t

Uh yeah, Peter, I'm gonna need you to stop commenting on Hacker News and get back to work... mmmkay?

That's actually not true. There's at least one other product at MS that uses ruby... Yammer. Although I'm not sure how much more incentive that would add for MS.

Like a couple of other mutual friends who've posted here, I've known Bob about 20 years. We met at a conference and became friends. While we never worked together we'd talk about whatever we were working on, or language/

It was stupid to not hedge that interest rate risk. I mean, the Fed telegraphed their moves well in advance. I don't work in finance but it doesn't take a genius to see how that dynamic would play out if that's your job. Not

Tether came out in 2014. This is a pretty good overview of all that's happened and why the parent's comment is actually relevant. https://www.theverge.com/22620464/tether-backing-cryptocurre...

Take a look at Cloud66. Been using it for every project over the last 10 years or so... It's like Heroku except you can control a lot more and not get locked into "enterprise" pricing when you need to scale or simply don&#x27

Your comment added nothing of value to this discussion. Replying and telling someone that you appreciate their "feelings" while ignoring the points made may make you feel good, but it neither refutes their arguments nor substantia

Organic demand growth is what we want, not this Frankenstein economy that's been created since at least 2008 if not earlier. Demand doesn't boost GDP, producing real goods and services boosts GDP. You can't spend your way to

I think what's being talked about here is the back end implementation for ActionCable. By default it uses ruby threads to push over open web sockets. There's at least one production quality drop in implementation ( https:/&#

That's what you took away from my response? So what? It's not a problem that this kind of behavior is enabled and hurting the integrity of what the majority of people rely on for a shot at being able to retire someday? This is one

The idea that he only hurt himself is simply not true. Behavior like this distorts markets and price discovery. Speaking of discovery (DISCK/DISKA), that's one of the stocks he bought and ran up from low $20s to $60s. Everyone who

Stock buybacks end up being nothing other than a transfer of wealth from taxpayers to shareholders because anytime something happens the government steps in bails them out because they're too big. Now everyone knows that so there'

My exact reaction as well. Or how about all that money used for stock buy backs over the last decade? Intel especially. It's been mismanaged and now it's putting its hand out for government money while having spent billions on sto

Exceptionally well written with more than one Big Lebowski reference but one minor correction... "Since then, as Jeff Lebowski explains to Maude between hits on a postcoital roach, “my career has slowed down a little bit.”" s&#x2F

Nice job getting something built and launched. That in and of itself is a huge accomplishment, so congrats to you! I know everyone has opinions and feature requests but to me the thing that I would find the most useful is a feed of the blog

"they need to switch from being the person with all the answers to the person with all the questions" So eloquently put. I'm going to steal that :)

One tactic I've used successfully is to require each to swap roles and defend the other's position. This should build the empathy required to find common ground.

And yet you didn't manage to find a single one to point out and inform me of where I'm misguided, only a condescending response. Address any one of my claims about asset prices and the fed's actions distorting price discovery

Trolls? Sounds like YOU need to understand what QE is. From Wikipedia... "Quantitative easing (QE) is a monetary policy whereby a central bank buys government bonds or other financial assets in order to inject money into the economy to

Just got this year's 10lb box about a week ago or so. He does old school postcard mailers to remind you the upcoming season is arriving. Nice way to cut through the noise. It worked on me.

Perhaps you can translate for me too, because I read the reply and agreed that the risk appetite for new small business owners might not be as robust given the current set of rules, which is what the commenter was saying. At least that&#x27

I think solving this problem is a great idea and is something I've thought of building a product around myself. I just haven't acted on it and haven't gotten clear on what such a problem/solution would look like. Congrat
