It would, but most of the time when I'm using backticks, it's because I'm writing myself/my team a little helper script that will never get "injected" with anything. Backticks (and the other more featured ways

For sure. I don't think there's general "overall" metrics that you want to be testing against every single time on every change outside of basic performance metrics for loading or rendering in real-world environments. I

Definitely - I'm not trying to say A/B testing is amazing, just that a lot of the comments have a strong "if you do A/B testing you're evil and are out to manipulate people" bent to them, which I think is too f

But that's just optimizing for bad metrics. At this point, anyone who thinks "engagement" and "time spent on page" are customer-positive metrics is in a different mental space than you and I. There's a lot of i

They're only different if you've selected bad metrics. If you've got two different search algorithms, running an A/B test and measuring how often the user selects the first item returned is a good measure for how well yo

You can also just have dispatch send both, but just have the cops there nearby for backup vs. being the first person into the situation. Hell, I'm reasonably mentally stable, but if I got a knock at the door and there's a uniforme

I mean, that seems somewhat sensible? Why would they give a loan to someone with no income to cover the loan payments? Unless you already had the cash to just pay for it in full, but at that point I'd assume they're worried about

by noirbot 4y ago
Yea, for sure. I got a 0.5% loan on my first car and had a moment when I had some spare cash and realized "Wait, I'm essentially being paid money to have this loan after inflation" and there was no reason to really pay it off

Perhaps, but there's also a reason most lawyers do their best to make sure their case is heard in a favorable jurisdiction. You can only strike so many jurors for something as banal as "doesn't like large multinational corpor

Governments have been collecting (and poorly securing) this sort of information and more for most of recorded history. It's not to say that I like it, or would work for somewhere like Meta or the like, but plenty of these major data le

I dunno, if you haven't run into audio or video interference on a wired device, you're lucky or have quality cables. I've definitely picked up radio stations on headphones or had nearby electrical currents induce an annoying

Is it? Cause a lot of stuff still happens by check even now, which literally has your name and your account and routing numbers just printed on it, which you used to order by sending all of that information via the mail to a random printing

I'd imagine most people happy about this would also be happy about the same thing happening to the US tech companies too. I don't see what your point is?

That's not "the standard", it's just worth mentioning that at least some companies have a proper legal team that seems to work on behalf of its users. Twitter's actually been behind a number of legal precedents on t

At very least Twitter and Apple have a decent track record of declining to provide data without justification. It seems pretty safe to assume the Chinese government wouldn't have to ask at all to get any of this information.

I can believe the teachings are accurate without losing the ability to understand that the teachings are sometimes conveyed via parable or metaphor. "That it teaches" is doing a lot of the lifting there.

That's as may be, and especially true if you're playing them solo, but playing coop games online with friends, even "inefficient" ones are enjoyable social experiences that can be done even without being co-located, whic

Most places already have that, pretty much. It doesn't work, generally.

It also puts the onus on policing. This is exactly the issue that people have with Airbnb and short term rentals. It's "evil" because it bypasses zoning because people "don't want to live next to a hotel or party&qu

This is such a "magic wand" sort of response though. "Get rid of bad laws and replace them with smart laws" is impossible to argue against. The real problems with zoning is often that incremental change is really hard. I

It's a bit glib to say that even the most leetcode interviews "require memorization". It's certainly possible to do most of them from "memorized" first principles of how various bits of CS components work inste

Sure, but my question would be, are you, as the resume writer, more proud of the cert you got via your work or of the work you did at work? I've done cert stuff before as part of my job, but it never rose to the level of being relevant

Sure, but in general we don't ban products because they smell gross. I can buy a durian fruit, or put rotten eggs in a dumpster, or be homeless and unable to bathe and that's not illegal on its own. There's a lot of stuff tha

They aren't? Every company I've worked at pays through the nose for one of GTM/Zoom/BlueJeans/Lifesize/Chime. Zoom is definitely the least bad of them in my experience, not that I like it at all. Lack of custom

That's unrelated to what Patreon does? I'm not even sure it's possible to do "ordering" via Patreon - it's a subscription platform, and as far as I know, most of your p2p payment platforms don't offer subs

I don't think this is exactly right. As other commenters point out, Patreon does nothing to help people find new stuff - what Patreon really provides is a sort of escrow service for subscriptions and payments. The value they offer me a

Depends on two things - does Youtube give a better cut? Presumably they would, but Google doesn't have a good track record. Second, do they want to trust Google not to both ban their channel _and_ take all their income away. If you hav

Correct, but if you look at the MLS in general, they have a lot of teams in under-served cities. The post I was responding to was claiming that the MLS is doing a bad job because there aren't many fans of the NYC teams, which may be tr

by noirbot 4y ago
A lot of the MLS teams are like this - Atlanta United, Austin FC, Sporting Kansas City, Toronto FC... It feels a bit clunky and "we wanna look more european" in my mind, but MLS is at least split between US and EU style for names.

by noirbot 4y ago
My guess is that those are actually the teams you're least likely to have a lot of fans of. LA, NYC, and Boston all already have massive and influential sports teams. The folks likely to want to watch/know about MLS are in the cit
