Agreed. Just look at Twitter. It's running with a skeleton crew but that's only because a system of that size does not collapse in a day. It takes years for the cracks to show and grow.

In the context of quitting something successful, why would you? As long as the marginal benefit meets or exceeds the benefit of doing something different (but potentially of higher risk), why not keep going? I understand the concept of the

While scope expansion is a potential issue, a service by its nature should not inherit scope outside of its core responsibility. If it does (an auth service with some type of user information is clearly taking on more scope than it should),

I'm just glad "self-driving" is not part of the vision. What a lot of hot air that was. Put it in the same drawer as chatbots and web3.

The question is not whether AI will generate the right answers, but whether it will generate better answers than a search engine. Given that search results are dominated by ad-supported websites, maybe an AI results, which are 99% accurate,

Was really unhappy when Tesla made the S&P 500. It's too volatile and never should have been added to the index.

Expensive is relative. If there is an alternative good of cheaper price, then the original good is expensive. For instance, if a grocer charges $0.10 per plastic bag to the consumer, but $0 to the consumer for paper bags, the consumer is li

Everyone wants to avoid misguided regulation. I don't think that's unique to crypto. What I hear is more of a blanket statement that regulation of any sort is bad, which feels naive and misguided on the part of the consumer.

The goal is to punish companies that pollute not the people who consume the goods. In making polluting goods more expensive, you open up space for competition that uses fewer pollutants to offer similar goods at lower prices.

I hear a lot of people in the crypto sphere talk about regulation being a bad thing. The reality is that most regulation aims at financial institutions such as these while also protecting the consumer. Will additional regulation have a nega

What is the collected tax being used for? It's one thing if the selling of the credits will be used to subsidize clean energy or to reduce the burden of the good purchased by lowering taxes. However, if the money is going towards growi

I really appreciate the depth and explanation in this article. In my many years in the industry, I have yet to see such rigor coming from task maintenance as is displayed by the author. For starters, tasks require deep knowledge of how some

If you’ve worked in software for longer than a single project, you already know that software is impossible to precisely estimate and no two projects are alike. Anyone who claims that waterfall requires perfect estimates is using the term i

Can you back that with some proof?

Sounds like someone is working at a growing company. Agile is great when you can be agile. Not every busyness fits into that mold. Some software projects are big, regulated, public, etc. They need more structure. For instance, you don’t upd

Love the project and the spirit of it. Brings be back to playing FFT. Question to all C/C++ programmers out there. Why are your variables so terse? I have no idea what td and dt mean and why they are both in the same function. I'm

Thank you for this response! It's sad to see that Swift is so slow in this particular case given that it has the potential to be such an optimized language (strong typing, compilation, backing from Apple).

Curious if anyone knows why the swift version is slow? Is it the casting from subsequence to a string?

Um, they are paid in terms of their productivity. However, it's not how productive they are as a programmer, but how their work translates into business value. While measuring programmer productivity is not trivial, measuring the value

I’m still waiting for crypto to revolutionize the world. So far, it’s been nothing but pollution, speculation, theft, and crime.

It really doesn't matter what the underlying hardware is. If it responds to your input quicker, then it's a better product (remember how slow it was to fill that memory in the first place and then save your changes to disk?). That

Speed _is_ all that matters. Who cares what the hardware is as long as it responds quickly to my commands?

It's a lot faster and of higher quality now. Those numbers do not reflect the speed of the ram, the speed of the memory, the quality of the screen, or the performance of the CPU
