Are you being sarcastic? > I think the big problem is that usage collection is a few days out of date, at least for GCP. Autoscaling can react in seconds to increased load, but it takes about 3 days before that shows up on your cost repo

Google could at least treat differently two kinds of “customers”: anonymous zero-effort freshly registered accounts and actual paying clients who have undergone extensive KYC and have years of history. I think the main issue is not automate

I think the better way would be automated cameras that fine vehicles that turn or change lanes without turning on the blinker beforehand.

I like how the author says "we don't need these and these things because latest versions of X don't require it anymore" — well what about people who don't use the latest versions of X?

Yeah, it's as if people who sponsored creation of Israel would be entitled to more than 60% of total Shekel supply—and I am sure most people would agree that it would not be a fair distribution by any measure.

If you live in the US, your real estate is in the US, your salary is in US dollars, and your pension is in US stocks, you are already pretty deep in long US dollar. Might as well diversify your egg basket a bit, just from financial risk man

Your Signal client has all the messages stored unencrypted (this is true because you can read them all, and search all the local messages). What's preventing the client from dumping all the messages to a single file, encrypt it with a

I think prevalent ADHD self-diagnosis (and doctor-assisted over-diagnosis) kind of devalues the sheer amount of hard work most people put in to achieve good things in life. When I hear "it's so easy for you but I cannot concentrat

We could also say that much of the beauty of the open-source ecosystem comes from top 1% earners (software developers) having cushy jobs and some free time to invest in common good.

I am not sure I understand, why would you want Optional type to never be null? Isn't it being null sometimes — the whole point?

I would imagine that in Google most managers would be former engineers. If that is true, there might be more to the story rather than introverts/extraverts split.

Is “person of color” an okay thing to say in US? It really rubs me the wrong way (as a non-native English speaker). To me it’s kinda like calling people with long noses “people of nose size”.

If your customer is willing to spend BTC they own for your services, and you’re willing to exchange your services for some amount of BTC — then it’s very straightforward, zero extra hoops to jump. Imagine now your customer is in a non-US co

Bailout for banks has nothing to do with either capitalism or democracy, as far as I understand.

That is true for me as well. Every year I quietly hope that Rich Hickey will soon reveal a new breakthrough. On the other hand, all the “new hot” features in many other languages have mostly been available as libraries in Clojure for a long

Yes, I am 100% sure they are great at their jobs, but _also_ they know how to play the politics games. For sure you have to be a good doctor to become a head of CDC, but also you have to masterfully balance that with politics.
