This is great and well articulated! Would you agree legacy code can often turn into tech debt by virtue of being neglected / unmaintained? The debt here could perhaps be measured by operational overhead

I have no evidence of this, but it sadly (probably) makes sense to apply a paywall after N referrals from a particular domain, or even after X traffic over Y time as a social trick for getting people's peers to subscribe

Interesting, how do you activate that flow? I landed at SFO last night and it prompted for me to insert my passport before it'd scan my face / take finger prints

My CPA said the maximum I can do is $3,000/year, I'm also in CA :)

Yes that’s correct, I don’t think anything nefarious happened. The big bummer, though, is I had $0.01 shares and paid AMT at a much higher valuation and expect it to take a few decades to claim back the loss. Was my first time working with

Awesome tool! Though I'm personally happy to hear compensation isn't weighted based on formal education, I'm not sure I'd f eel the same way if I did complete University... I'm self-taught without a degree, ended up

At Twilio we use Donut. The TLDR is with our configuration every third Monday members of a slack channel (#soc-donut in our case) get randomly paired via DM. I've met people from offices around the world which I wouldn't have done

Agree, have had so many frustrating experiences lately. Recently my phone was water damaged, so I went to the Singapore Apple Store and was told there aren't any genius bar appointments available for a week, and that's as far as

This is awesome! Be sure to mkdir ~/.vim/undodir first as vim won't do it for you (or didn't for me)

I was quite surprised it let me verify from the device I was actively using.. Is it really 2FA if it pops up the code on top of Chrome?

I moved from the UK to the US when I was 20 with no degree, just self taught. Have been working in senior engineering roles for ~8 years. I do feel as though I’ve struggled more with the academic side of CS but the practical side is what yo

I've been using a 13" MBP for years, and am almost astounded by how much I take it, and its trackpad for granted from reading this thread. Also-- Would love it if you could share an example of the bash you execute to restore every

My biggest gripe with Apple Notes is if I throw some snippet of code in there it mutates the quotes to "smart quotes" and thus the code produces syntax errors if I try and use it again :(

This is less one that I read, but more one that I wrote. Sometime ~mid 2012 I wrote an Ask HN looking to meet people and find co-working space in the bay area, 6 years later I find myself living here (due to folks I met via that thread). Un

grogers explained my intent well, especially around the promotion of a replica to a primary work load (thank you). I think we're arguing semantics between optimizing machine code and rewriting mysqld. I want to emphasize that Dynamize

This looks like seriously impressive technology, and yields impressive results, but: I don't think I'd be comfortable with the idea of something rewriting my database in production. What I -would- probably be OK with is having dyn

It has 16GB of flash storage, who knows what it's for. I agree though, likely gets sent off to be recycled and the storage destroyed.

You're absolutely not wrong. Resistbot has a team of volunteers who will write out, and deliver your letters. Of course, this is hard for us to scale to all of our almost 1.5 million users, but as we speak volunteers are targeting stat

Curious: Did you consider the Purple? I tend to get pretty hot at night (no AC) and that one seems to boast the best marketing jargon with regards to cooling. Can you speak to the breathability of the others you've tried?

Be cautious about exposing this on the public internet-- it's vulnerable to SQL Injection through misuse of prepared statements as noted in https://github.com/derogab/coingraph/issues/1
