I think transportation is an incredibly important (food!), but the way this is written seems incredibly tone-deaf. He should have focused on the facts (if there are any) about incident rates and length of time flying, instead of saying how

Agree. The language is different. The standard library is different. The runtime is different. The last two quite substantially at that. JavaScript is more like Ruby than Elixir is. I'm tempted to say Go and Jave are more Ruby than Eli

You're jumping to conclusions by assuming that a federal judge is jumping to conclusions. If you read that and the first thing you think is "that judge can't judge!", that's not good. Anyways, the judge has made is

I've been writing tests for a long time, and I went through a phase where I depended heavily on DI. While it's still useful in some conditions, I rarely make use of it. First, DI is simply the least subtle for of IoC available. Wh

To me, what's impressive about Notch is the speed at which he can put a decent prototype together. What's also impressive is the experience he's collected. If I work at it, sure, in X years, maybe I can be in the same ballpar

A great comment. Thank you. I don't think we're saying anything exclusive. From what I've seen, pretending the gap doesn't exist (for whatever reason), is a sure way to make sure things don't improve.

I don't understand how anyone can say 10x programmers don't exist. There are programmers who DRAIN value from projects and companies. The most insidious I've dealt with are people who assure everyone their part is going to be

Not even just system programming. It's a fundamental data structure and concept. I don't think it's unreasonable for a company to say: we expect this role to understand what goes on behind this abstraction.

I agree it's ridiculous to get to be turned down for that reason at that point. If that was their attitude, they could at least be efficient about it for their own sake and out candidates. But, in general, I think you should consider t

What? This is basic supply and demand. The supply goes down, the demand stays the same (in fact, demand grows because of panic), so prices rise. Rich countries continue to eat, poor countries starve. What does democracy in, say, the Philipp

Because promises are chainable, it can take N level-deep code down to 1 level deep. So that's your first big win. The second one is that you can await a promise, which turns your 1-level-deep code to 0 levels deep.

Ok, I'll admit that's a good answer. Just pushing things further, since I appreciate your insight, in terms of nature (as opposed to feeding humans), wouldn't a more natural ecosystem be preferred? Might it better help protec

I think you've missed my main point: reduced consumption is an increase in sustainability [1]. And it's not clear to me that grass-fed beef is sustainable [2] (especially not at the current scale of consumption [3]) Farmers are cr

Reducing the consumption of meat seems like a step in the right direction. It's a huge drain on water, land, energy and calories. At the very least, people should be paying for the real cost. Taking it further, instead of subsidizing t

Sorry to hear that. I'm pretty sure I've answered anyone who's emailed me directly. And, our ops team is fantastic, but I guess either they or I let some slip through occasionally. If you email me, I can follow up.

Why do you want to "ensure that these cost increases are not passed on to the consumer"? Isn't that a major problem already (people not paying the real cost of their food)? I can appreciate the need for cheap protein, but I d

They should pass laws, but so should the west. The poultry/egg and fishing industry is unquestionably unethical. And much of the dairy and beef industry would have to improve as well. Again, not trying to say China shouldn't. But
