This was linked to me right after coming out of a meeting with my product team where I was the engineer in this video. Worse, I had a large hand in defining how our software architecture is designed so I can't even blame other people.

Haven't seen anyone mention these but I like them a lot: "Show-Stoppers: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft" One of my favorite, exposes how large software project can really grind on

Adder WS also has a 15 inch 4k model. I have one and use it for work. Definitively not the ultimate portable machine but I use it mostly at home and the office plugged in. I wouldn't say it's the best option for everyone but if yo

What's worse, stores having mass of people going in and out or a restricted set of workers they can try to keep apart? Right now, yes those workers are at greater danger than not working (and maybe they deserve extra pay here) but I wo

I'd probably read something like that. I hate buying cars. I know I'll get scammed somehow and pay more than I should.

Yeah there many large companies work somewhat in this way and one of the side effects is that there is a lot of competition for resources and projects and a lot of duplication. Small fiefdom get formed and battles between groups happen for

Sure sorry I realize now the point I was trying to make doesn't match my wording. They do care about selling to gamers but availability to gamers is not in anyway why they are forcing more expensive models of essentially the same cards

No it's just pure price discrimination. They don't care about gamers they just know businesses will pay more if forced to while gamers can't.

Looking a just the total of electoral votes ignores the razor thin margins a lot of those states were won by. I wouldn't call that decisive.

How about the theoretical minimum one should know to be a professional programmer. Basic security principles would be included.

That's the definition that PG uses but I don't think it's common to the world at large. Usually the difference is between a first stage company and a self sustaining operation. Once revenue is enough to cover costs and the co

It's not like Apple would stop making and selling phones. And I doubt people wanting to buy a iPhone are the same as those wanting a phone from another brand.

Pretty normal progression for technical news sites to go through that process as they grow. It's happen to every other tech site before it. But HN always had economic news. It started as a news site for the startup community and so eco

Or it could be about reducing the impact of taking his child to therapy on work time. If it saves him an hour or more of travel during the day then it makes sense to let him WFH.

Not really new for him. He's discussing and working on climate change for a long time, go check some of his prior letters to investors.

I might be mistaken but wouldn't Data Explorer be more similar to AWS CloudWatch which has been around for a long time.

Personally I don't view the problem as being about healthcare being a market or not, I view the problem as what a free market optimizes for. Finding the price at which the market clears is very different then optimizing for cost effect

The claims aren't just repeated the evidence for it has expanded over time. Like I said you really have to try at this point to ignore everything that has come out.

I get that you can be skeptical of the press but to claim that anecdotal or hearsay from friends is more trustworthy is really odd to me. This strikes me as an easy way to fall for false rumors. I'd rather put trust in the fact that th

I'm pretty sure politicians know what they are doing and know what it really means. They do it because of the huge publicity impact helps them get reelected. The incentives are misplaced for them to make decisions good for the people.

Getting a Theranos type vibe here where they claim some advanced technology but are just using normal stuff to get the work done. This sounds like a consulting firm essentially.

We've had nodes die (more than what we've experienced with simple vms). We've had cluster go into failed state multiple times and require full rebuild. We've had nodes simply stop responding but aks claims they are fine.
