I like how a non-existent tech union is instantly popping up out of nowhere with both a massive bureaucracy, and a squad of enforcers to beat people up for not joining. Please, stop bringing up historical anecdotes as reasons why a tech uni

This perspective is frustrating, as it paints unions as an entirely negative endeavor. They're not and there are trade offs. Those trade offs may be a net positive or a net negative, but only highlighting the negative doesn't do

These clickbait titles are ridiculous. 1) Everyone doesn't hate it, and 2) you can not like something and still find it useful.

I think some of the posts here miss a little bit of the context as to why things like this happen in the first place. It's only in the last handful of years that a stack for logging has really become mainstream. Chances are a lot of

This seams to me to be a "wet streets cause rain" story. To start, I'd say a large percentage of skyscrapers are not Art Deco, and proposing that architects "always" return to that style seems like an overstatement

Thanks for the response. From the other responses in this thread, it seems like the admin of the nodes/cluster is not overly onerous. Would you agree with that statement? Also, being a .Net shop, the Windows VMs make sense, but is t

I think this article is getting things out of order. The question right now shouldn't be who to test, but rather how do we increase the volume of testing. The article states that we should be running 500k tests a day, as if we'r

You need to spend time working with the language and understanding how the set based operations used in SQL work. Declarative languages means you can express things in multiple ways and get the same results. This is an incredibly important

Landlords don't want to do that, or else they wouldn't have had the need to rent to WeWork in the first place. Landlords like the risk profile of having an entity in the middle. There are significant operational costs of doing t

In comparison to nearly any other tenant, they are quite large and also structured quite differently. Other large tenants put similar pressure on tenants, with the clearest example I can think of being anchor grocery stores in strip malls.

It's not an uncommon business practice to have SPEs for ventures like this. In fact, nearly each of our investments were backed by SPEs that held the property. If you had some sort of evidence to WeWork was trying to defraud or break
