A pattern I noticed is that media coverage is biased towards the things that kill us that we don't have as much control over. I imagine people know heart disease is a huge killer but they also know they can make lifestyle changes to pr

I don't think you've turned on very strict anti-tracking in a browser if you think that's a weak reason. The setting can really break websites, making them unusable or whole blocks of content don't load. Before this upda

The word "classified" means it's not intended for public consumption. Do you imagine that governments should not have the ability to keep information secret? How do you think that would work out. We elect representatives who

It's just words. Actions speak louder than words. Their actions fly in the face of all the nice sounding things they say, and report after report fly in the face of all of Boeing's denials and claims of safety. Boeing has gone int

I wish we would go back to having to bring our own containers and fill them up instead of single use plastics. It's so clearly a terrible thing. Whatever we can do to stop single-use containers we should.

Delta is the only big American airline, that I know of, that doesn't own any Boeing 737 Max aircraft. I don't know when these planes will go into the air again but I assume they will. Based on the reporting of the problem with Boe

I love Gitlab, but I think it's good GitHub is taking the threat serious and that we finally have some real competition in this space and not just one dominant player.

While I still like Python, Python and Ruby haven't been darlings of anything in probably the last 10 years. Go, Rust, Swift, and Kotlin are newer statically typed languages that lots of devs on here like though.

I don't understand why uber's costs don't scale well. They make an app that drivers use. They're not having to buy cars or hire drivers to grow. They just need their app to function. What is all their money going towards

Does AWS Aurora actually use postgres or is it simply a postgres compatible API on top of their own technology?

Yes we looked at all of those as well as Sproutcore. There weren't a lot of good options. Lots of people were using ext.js and yahoo ui library and dojo. Closure was among the better options at that time.

You didn't even mention the Closure library which was released and then practically abandoned. We invested so much into Closure where I worked, with the promise that this is what Google used internally, when suddenly Angular dropped ou

That's my thinking too. I went back to Firefox a few months ago and it is back to being a fantastic browser now, and it feels good to use something that is also a force for good. I'm hoping they resolve this quickly and that it al

Why do you think a state legislature or city government will be able to solve a complex problem like housing prices? Do you know of any successful examples of a government intervention in housing prices? The closest I've seen is recent

Where I work, a website/app in the top 20 US alexa rankings, we use Fastly and it is pretty great. If I have a complaint it's that their varnish version is old. The web UI is great, the service is great. I've never had an iss

Family obligations taking up time I can understand, but the person I am replying to just seemed to equate 40s as being in a state of having less energy without mentioning family obligations. I am taking issue with 40's being a state wh
