Companies already control workers by controlling access to their health care (wanna start your own business? quit a toxic work environment? can't because you can't afford losing healthcare!). This is one solution to the lack of ho

The free version acts exactly like Resque, the previous market leader in Ruby background jobs. If it was good enough reliability for GitHub and Shopify to use for years, it was good enough for Sidekiq OSS too. Here's Resque literally u

I started work on Sidekiq right before I joined so I made sure my employment contract had a IP carve out for anything related to Sidekiq. I never charged The Clymb to use the software. Previously they had been using delayed_job and were suf

Hangfire and Oban are two other background job systems which have a commercial aspect. AFAIK Hangfire has been around almost as long as Sidekiq and is still actively supported. I'm closer to $10m than $1m in annual revenue now. My take

I use the free Resilio Sync tier to keep a shared fold in sync between several servers. It's worked incredibly well for the last decade, no issues at all. You configure a secret token and all servers which know the token automatically

> The vehicular capacity [28 spaces] is far below the city’s required zoning for 80 spaces. Holy cow, mandating that many parking spaces is outrageous. That's four parking spaces per unit.

If you add up all of the jurisdictional taxes, 50% is typical for high earners. For instance I pay 38% fed and 10% state here in Oregon. Sketchy dudes will talk about various schemes to lower taxes but call it what it is: unethical tax avoi

I meant to say "die due to lack of helmet as the only factor". They die because they are hit by cars.

The problem isn't bikes or helmets. You can count on one hand the number of cyclists who die every year in the Netherlands and no one wears a helmet there. The problem is cars. Cars kill the people they hit.

Let me get this straight: you believe that Node's tooling is better than Golang's tooling? The entire Node ecosystem is commonly described as a dumpster fire.

Yep, it doesn't need to be treated as a utility, there just needs to be competition. Our Xfinity internet was locked at 150 Mbps for years until the local DSL provider (Centurylink) rolled out gigabit fiber. Suddenly Xfinity started of
