SF has a lot of beautiful historic architecture, but also absolutely endless rows of bland, ugly, and tightly packed 2-story houses ("houses"). You could build over a quarter of the city and lose nothing.

There's another reason I've wondered about. It's not politically correct. All the Ubers I've used had white or sometimes Hispanic-American drivers. But taxis have all (except for Portland) been either African (esp ~et

You're abstracting the discussion into meaninglessness. Other people's problems: how can I help Joe increase the amount of good code he writes? How can I help Bob get promoted? How can I help Doug and Susan work better together

It promotes this recent fad of 1-1s as a key ceremony of Great Management. I understand your point, but since 1-1s can so easily be useless, the author's assertion doesn't hold. I would say instead: if you don't like worki

I take exception with the all-day 1-1s thing. It's actually pretty easy to spend all day talking to people (minus a hoarse voice after 3-4 hours). What's HARD, and what actually makes for a good manager, is to actually then get

That link says what I'm saying: it's not clear that this is really happening. > Many studies in women have looked at the possible link between talcum powder and cancer of the ovary. Findings have been mixed, with some studies r

I'm just a simple man, but I don't understand how a fine-grained powder, even entering the vagina, could cause ovarian cancer. This very long article spends only two paragraphs asking that question, with no answer. Sounds like pe

I think the downvotes are because ircd != Slack. Setting up your own ircd is a whole other thing vs going to Slack.com and creating a Team. UI features, administration, it's all different. So we could have a whole conversation about

Rob Spike sounds like his alter ego, where he goes around giving talks on how duck typing is the way to go, and the top goal of a programming should be to express yourself in as few keystrokes as possible.

I feel like no one is addressing one of the biggest problems with these April Fool's things: they're just not funny. PigeonRank might have been cute 10+ years ago, but now it's the same joke over and over. You know how in yo

Fun side effect of long-running AJAX apps: even though Google disabled the feature, it will still be live for everyone who has a gmail window since (at least) yesterday. The feature must have had a timed activation. You have to refresh the

Lot of advice below on how to toughen up for interviews, but I'm going to give a contrarian view: you can't toughen up if it's not in you already. Tech interviews are an exhausting, often humiliating experience. Some compani

Well, I could run several of the sample apps from a year ago: a couple of roller coasters, etc. Not hardcore stuff. But as a user I'd at least like the OPTION of running Rift against my Mac.

Absolutely!! I mean, we can quibble over the exact meaning, but the oculus team took so long precisely in order to have a wide-adoption product instead of a tech demo, which was available over a year ago. The Big Question we all have right

It might help, but the advice to Get Physical, just by itself, isn't useful. The disease itself works against a will to exercise. The best advice and only one worth giving is to please seek professional help if you think (or know) you

A lot of people say this is happening in Silicon Valley too, particularly on the peninsula (I've heard Mtn View, etc). I don't understand the ramifications, though.

These specific mistakes are useful for new Go programmers. For example, knowing that a pointer-to-slice is (usually) useless.

Absolutely! But his point still stands: don't give notice until the day you're ready to walk out. Don't give notice the week before yearly bonuses (and make sure you have the dates correct!), don't give notice right be

Another reason why it's kinda plain dumb to work as a non-founder employee at any startup except those on a clear exit path. Founders enjoy too many benefits and advantages. If the company succeeds, they become megarich while you cas

What salary is someone owed when they agree to work for free?

Ianal but tons of startups forego salary when times are tight (a month or two) and a bootstrapped startup isnt paying anyone until money starts flowing. What's illegal here?

Why? Someone agrees to no salary, what claim do they then have?
