I would not consider myself a fanboy, but what is a deadline? The game being played here is: set super ambitious, unrealistic expectations to get people thinking/dreaming/talking about it. Eventually deliver on it. Again, normally

Hmm. So Tesla/Musk have really ambitious goals that they often miss. Is that a bad thing? The way I look at it no. Whenever Tesla announces something you have to take it with a big grain of salt but that’s about it. Also remember that

I would go and say that for most innovative things, the invention and the implementation are almost always 2 different phases (sometimes years or even decades apart). Sometimes the technology for implementation is not there and sometimes pe

I guess the point was that right now, they have the most consoles and games out there. That being said I think they have repeatedly pissed off enough people that they will not be seriously considered when the time to buy a new console comes

sure. from a technical point of view their approach sucked (and the market "punished them" for this, right?) but at least at a philosophical (how things should work) they did the right thing in helping you move your licenses over

I'm confused. What's Nintendo's attitude? Not being successful in the market? I get the whole 'dominant position' argument. It just seems dumb to me to behave like this when you're in a dominant position. Seems

the problem with dinosaurs is that they go extinct. It's gonna take a while but with this kind of attitude they are more or less ensuring they don't have a future.

To me it's common sense to allow me to take my stuff from one platform to the other. Microsoft gets it, Nintendo gets is. I have lost any kind of trust in Sony. After the massive hacks, shitty anti-customer attitude and now locking the

Isn’t Github on sinatra?

Yes and no. You’re assuming all systems have a sane way of integrating. You’re also assuming that whoever build this has knowledge of all moving parts and has thought through all edge cases. When you put in the killswitch, is this for a ste

hah. this goes to prove that no matter what idea you have someone probably though about it before.

sometimes there is a disconnect between the people that make the decision on the what vs people that implement it. Also, sometimes, what starts as a reasonable system evolves over time to a point where it's stupid hard to think of all

PKD was such a visionary that I can pretty much take whatever SF book/movie/etc from the last 40 years and link it directly to his work. Although his books are hard to read sometimes, the ideas expressed in them more than makes up

sounds like the machine worked perfectly. it did what it was supposed to do and followed the rules layed out by us humans. the problem is in the way the workflow is described/implemented - and even with that we would need to see some n

Yes, it’s possible. You have the option of using up to 7 days per year (56hours) to volunteer and you’re being paid normally for this time. You are encouraged to volunteer and there are events setup regularly in which you can take part if y

I use a “silent alarm” on my Pebble (you also have something similar on Fitbit models). It basically vibrates on your wrist until you wake up. No sound needed.

I think it's more like having a terrible experience when flying than a plane crash. If planes would somewhat function but 10 people would be kicked of the plane an beaten to death for each flight one would argue that people would quick

Are these kids smarter or is their environment “better” in such ways thar allows them to be brilliant?

Setting aside the click-baity title. The world today is way different than when we came up with IQ tests. Yes there might be a corellation between how good you do on an IQ test and how “smart” you are but I think over and over again your ba

Hmm... I will disagree there. Yes it can be challenging but the thing to keep in mind is that a good VC will come with a lot of experience and a lot of contacts that he/she will leverage in an attempt to make you successful.

I kinda disagree with this. If you cannot stop in case the car in front slams the breaks as hard as they can you probably don’t have and appropriate following distance or you are not paying attention to the road.

don't believe you will get down-voted for this point of view. running and most-important keeping a k8s cluster up-to-date is a major time investment. I think the important time is balancing the benefits you get from k8s with the time d

you're not alone. I would say that lack of trust is the norm not the exception when it comes to software dev teams :(

Maybe, maybe not. I’m very suspicious of things that are pitched as a panacea for everything. The real world is a messy place where even with a good team, a good plan and sensible expectations you can fail spectacularly. If there is one thi

You break it down (effectively doing the work) as part of planning and after that you pretend that you have a working system. Make sure not to go into details and/or “take it offline” until the developer is tired/annoyed enough to

Have you ever been in a situation where communicating and breaking things down takes longer than the actual work? IMHO most disasters I’ve seen occur when ‘Product’ tries to strictly control the ‘Developers’. It just does not work for certa

I think while it’s bad to have people thinking that Redis has “security” issues, no matter what you do people will find ways to work around it. I personally would like to see Redis focus on what it’s best for and not add additional “feature
