I've read this argument several times in several places and I'm still unclear how this is substantively different than setting up whatever arbitrary state you want to work with in tests and dropping into the console from there. Su

also, studying only libraries might encourage people to think that the proper amount of abstraction is higher than it might be for an actual project.

My opinion of Pollock changed drastically when I saw something in person. For me, it was Greyed Rainbow, which is completely uninteresting in a book and quite enthralling in person. I don't think this phenomenon is limited to abstract

I agree in principle, though I think the example is telling. If the combination is valuable enough, in this case programmer/statistician, then we simply create a new field for you to compete in: data science.

Confidential S-1's are reasonably new (2012) and limited to "emerging growth" companies. But yeah, I imagine most S-1s discussed on HN take advantage of that provision. EDIT: ohh, that changed in 2017. Now all companies can f

I've been listening to the Music Exists podcast by Chuck Klosterman and Chris Ryan (unfortunately available only on Spotify). It's quite good and definitely introduced me to some new stuff. While I feel like I've been doing a

1. It's clearly not a monopoly by any accepted definition. 2. If you don't want to pay their fees, don't use their platform. 3. If enough content providers don't use their platform, consumers we shift to a different one.

tbh, I don't really understand why Coors would be such an advantage. It's not like the visiting team doesn't also benefit from the additional ball flight. Do you think it has to do with roster building? Like the Rockies don&#

Counterpoint to your counterpoint: the prevalence of inexpensive off-camera light kits means it's much easier than it used to be to get the kind of lighting you want, where you want it (i.e. somewhere less sterile than a studio). None

I think one of my biggest annoyances, from a development perspective, with Sidekiq is that it typically moves you in the direction of running foreman or something like that, which makes using the pry a pain. One thing I really like about Ph

I don't care about Western Union. I do care about Visa and MasterCard. And I'm definitely not saying that the current generation of crypto has figured this problem out, but I am hopeful for the sake of SMB that they won't alw

Sony and Panasonic have really strong offerings if you primarily do video, but i think the vast majority of people who take photographs for a living still use Canon and Nikon.

If you're going to Healy, AK, chances are you're not just doing it for the gram. I remember reading Into The Wild in my twenties and feeling a strong connection to Alex. Even if going to the bus wasn't a wise decision, I feel

The opinion here reads very much like the Court is a high school teacher disappointed in the efforts of a lazy student. The Administration should have known the rules and followed them. They didn't and got called out for it. There is l

The differences of opinion here on the topic of the necessity of the theological content suggest that it is not, as you say, "objectively true". Just because it is not necessary for you does not permit you to project your opinions

A pretty common pattern I've seen in both Ruby and Elixir is to begin building up the state you want to work with in a test and then drop into a repl using pry (either adding a breakpoint in the code or in the test). I think this allow

To me learning Elixir felt like a two stage process: learning the language and learning the OTP. The language itself is pretty small and I felt like the first stage was pretty easy. Learning the OTP is a much bigger challenge. At the same t

I personally like that Phoenix is kind of a middleweight framework, but at least one of batteries you mentioned as missing is being addressed. José is working on an authentication solution built into Phoenix.

OmniOutliner is one of my favorite pieces of software. The idea of hierarchical organization of knowledge is, to me, a really powerful one. I started using it when I was in law school, and it helped me stay organized as I was changing caree

I wonder if it's also fair to say that Intel was living on borrowed performance as it relates to the Spectre style vulnerabilities. IIRC, addressing those vulnerabilities was less impactful for AMD.

I tried out AppSignal for Elixir and was disappointed that the BEAM metrics don’t include scheduler utilization, which is kind of a proxy for CPU usage. IIRC there was scheduler count but not utilization metrics.

For me, the main benefit would be the ability to use a concurrency model other than the event loop. In Elixir, I can reason about the code being run in one process as though it were synchronous, because it kind of is. But I can do that with

When I worked at Chick-fil-A, I knew quite a few operators that worked less than 40. This is where Chick-fil-A’s ownership model helps them. Managers who want to be operators will work for less than they can earn other places for a chance a
