Great article; in particular I hadn't thought about empty path components too closely and how websites usually just omit them when you try to go to e.g. https://github.com/nodejs//node

Right, it’s cliché but it’s clear that MVP isn’t the “best player” award given how infrequently LeBron has won it. It’s more some nebulous combination of “how good you are”, “how much you contribute to your team’s success”, and “are you doi

This is a great article and a great read, even as someone who knows very little about machine learning models but is a fan of the NBA. One question I have is whether it’s possible to model voter fatigue. There was a point brought up that Le

The luxury fashion industry seeing a bounce-back seems like just a small part of the larger clothing industry bouncing back; it feels as though all clothing and apparel shopping should rise again as more people go outside. I know I personal

Love the casting here, reminds me of esports (which I guess makes sense given esports casting is influenced by regular sports).

@dang I think that while this is the exact title from Kotaku, it misses the context (given by what site it's on) that they're shutting down specifically their _gaming_ studios. I feel like it would be clearer if this said "Go

One factor I'd like to bring up here is that it's significantly easier for Canadians to work in the US than it is for people of other countries. Canadians have access to the TN visa, which is effectively automatic, while most othe

As someone who graduated from Computer Science at Waterloo, this is common for anyone with the ability to do so. Pay is not competitive in Canada, and contrary to the common refrain here, taxes/rent/general CoL does NOT make up fo

I don't get this concern. What specifically are you worried about here, that a bad parameter will crash the program? The code is there in case you wanted to verify it's not doing anything nefarious. This looks like just a cute scr

This is a pretty big fiasco for this huge of a release... I think the last time I remember blowback this hard was with No Man's Sky a few years ago. Different situations though (No Man's Sky straight up broke promises about what g

That’s the idea I’ve gotten when looking around online. I figured I was in the uncommon situation of having a completely blank and ready system, so I could afford to just wait a few days.

Just built a FreeNAS system over the past couple weeks and finished doing burn-in tests of my hard drives, wonder if I should wait and see how to install OpenZFS 2.0.0 before I create my storage config.

I mostly do iOS work, and I find ADTs useful for representing UI state machines. For example, if I have a view controller (screen) that async loads data, I can have an enum State (in Swift enums have associated values), with the following c

As someone who's gone through both H-1B and PERM, H-1B only needs the company to prove two things, specifically about how much you're paid: The actual wage: This is the wage paid to other employees in the company who do the same w

As someone who still lives in SF right now, it and NYC are still expensive relative to the rest of the country, even if people are getting better deals on rent at the moment.

I re-negotiated my 2B2B rent down from $4700 to $4200, and honestly could've gone lower (landlord accepted our first offer). The most important thing for me in this process was doing the research on comparable properties in the city an

San Francisco has great restaurants and food, and I'd argue that "from the urban core and used to it" basically just means "I enjoy having these amenities like nice restaurants to go to".

No, demand is just lower because companies have everyone working remote for the time-being, and so for a lot of people it doesn't make sense to live in the city and pay SF rent while just sitting at home. Instead, people are just movin
