Yes as I mentioned in a reply above these are very good points, but there is a significant difference of context, don't you think? Certification and licensing of medical personnel came about over many years because of the very great ha

Good points. They do have licenses and credentials, and they can be disciplined if they are negligent. Not for making mistakes generally speaking, but for professional negligence. They also have to carry professional insurance against malpr

There's selectivity, and there's courtesy and respect. Companies are entitled to be as selective as they like, and if those are the kinds of tests that yield the people they want to hire then good for them. On the other hand court

You know that's been pretty true for me, too. Often when one gig looks like its winding down I've met people and formed strong enough relationships that something else pops up, but this last startup was a mismanaged mess that fell

Great piece. Love her style. It hit home with me as well for several reasons.

As a developer who is currently in the market after the last startup I worked for started laying people off, I definitely agree that the current process can be badly broken. This is the first time I have had to go out and interview cold in

I'm not sure "excited" is the right word. Some technology is going to break through the keyboard/mouse/touch barrier and bring us into more natural contact with all the data and processing power around us. It's

Probably not many, but simply acting on the authorization of any email, not to mention one that is not from the CEO's corporate account is astoundingly credulous behavior. It shouldn't actually _be_ astounding, I suppose, given th

Spent fifteen or twenty minutes browsing around. I really like the format and the ability to browse through categories, jump to the repo, see alternatives. Had not previously used any of the other libhunt sites, so dropped in to say nice jo

I don't care about CPU speed very much, but yeah, 16GB at least for a dev machine. You need something you can run a database on, perhaps an http server + framework, etc.

Great article, and I loved the mooshroom in a pen with pressure plates hack. That is indeed very creative thinking. But this ... >> “My art teacher always says, ‘No games are creative, except for the people who create them.’ But she

Agreed, and alpine is the official Docker base distro at this time. I've built some very small images for haproxy and iperf with it.

Yes, but what if, for example, the work that he had done prior to beginning that one month's involvement in Cruise was the majority of the IP that GM wants to buy? Would you still interpret it the same way? I have no idea whose IP is i

IANAL but it seems plausible they could argue that the 50% was for the original concept and all the work he had done on it up to that point. Or are they really arguing that they threw all that away and started with nothing after he left? I

The issue with actual source being uploaded is going to be a deal breaker with a _lot_ of corporations. People will use it for stuff that's already OSS, no problem, but not for the proprietary stuff they may get paid to work on. Is the

Yeah I did not mean to imply that the kernel was written in C++. As to whether C is "strongly typed" or not that is a matter on which we can disagree, as there is no agreed-upon definition of what that means. In my view it certain

There is a lot in this post I agree with, but the one thing that grates on me is the appeal to "us" in "why don't we change our culture?" The truth is that the people doing the work very rarely have much say in what

I'd assume that a large majority of container deployments by parties other than Google already run in the cloud, so I wonder that this is even a question. I do think the whole topic of the distinction between containers and VMs is a us

I'd like to give this a try, if only because I am not sure I believe anyone can accurately estimate non-trivial programming tasks. However, there doesn't appear to be a way to get any information without connecting your app to my

I agree, except that I think you need more than a grain of salt with this piece. My take on it after 20 years in the business is that there is a sort of hard cap on the percentage of the population that will be able to, or interested in, cr

You did a nice job on this walk-through, so thanks for the effort! I was interested to see that you ended up in the same place I have in the past when deploying databases to kubernetes clusters. A container mounted on a PD is a bit of a hyb

I don't know if it is a "really bad" idea. I've run stacks on both AWS and GCP, and used both RDS and CloudSQL. They are good solutions and I definitely agree that looking at them first is sensible. They will fit the bil
