That would seem to be the case, but keep in mind that doesn't mean they are right (but I hope they are). We are in uncharted waters here, so the models and playbooks of investors may be even less accurate than normal.

That is odd, one of the reasons I really like zoom is how well it works under Linux. It seems to "just work", and the Linux client doesn't feel like an after-thought. FWIW, running Fedora 31 with KDE/Plasma. I really

I think that "competent/not-competent" is a false dichotomy. The candidate could be exceptionally qualified technically and competent, but have significant ethical / integrity issues that are difficult to notice in an i

I thought I had the same issue, until I realized that only certain lines are editable. On the initial page, only lines 13-16 allow editing, for instance.

That's a good point, at steady-state, I'd imagine unbuffered channels would have the same throughput as a deeply buffered channels. The main advantage is being able to spool up faster and smooth out throughput, but it could be for

The preference of channel size being unbuffered or just 1 is interesting. That seems like something specific to a problem domain; for instance, in projects I am working on now, having a large buffered channel (1000s deep) is useful for wor

No, the article goes on to explicitly state: Data also shows the platform recently overtook competitor eBay, once a powerhouse in this space, in terms of quarterly sales.

My fear is something like pihole may end up being a temporary stopgap; it can only help with DNS queries that go through it, and so it too may end up in the same position as chrome + ublock origin. For instance, if chrome decides to use a

You're either thinking of a tiny picture vs the whole picture (web devs vs programming in general) or you honestly have zero concept of what programming looks like outside of web apps. To give some more pushback on this assertion...

This seems to include all of us using them in open-source "hobbyist" environments, like Home Assistant and Node-Red. I'm quite frustrated by this; I'll never buy another Nest product again, and I now regret my purchase

Feature branches really should be rebased to have clean self-contained logical commits prior to merging, and this goes beyond just making it easier to review (although that is an important point). It's good git hygiene! No individual
