Ooooohhh I'm going to be the cool kid at work on Monday when I unleash this one. Thanks.

I was thinking about exactly this earlier today -- I'm almost suspicious about my level of compensation. I work for a reputable company doing straightforward development, but the stars aligned, so to speak, in the timing of my offer,

Recently found out about the usefulness of this command -- was amazed at how much simpler it made integrating changes. It can get tricky with conflicts, but now the commits in my pull requests aren't getting polluted with commits tha

Agreed. These "bootstraps" are looking awful sturdy...

At a previous job, I was in a decidedly un-hip city, and even then our employer found a local farm co-op thing (not sure of the details) that just showed up every Wednesday and left oranges and bananas and kiwis on a bunch of the centrally

That seems like laissez-faire waterfall to me. The problem with the "hard ship date" is that it usually comes with a set of expectations for what is ready on that date: If you need software X on July 1, what happens when software

These questions don't even sound like a conspiracy theory to me -- I feel like it was yesterday that people were talking about how the NSA doesn't do any work on American soil at all , now the fight is whether they can collect li

But your solution only works if you have a flexible schedule. You say, "I don't have to deal with the shock of losing an hour sleep in the spring," but that's only because, presumably, there isn't a manager standin

I've read most of this stuff before and am still excited to get a Tesla once a more reasonably priced one comes out. One thing keeps bugging me, though: If I wanted to get up tomorrow morning and drive across the country in a gas car,

But automation can also increase vehicle density: "Stop and go" traffic is way more efficient when it's not groggy humans doing the stopping and going.

The hospital robots seem like the closest analogue for now, as it's automation being held back by needing to coexist with inferior-performing humans. If it were only robots in the hallway, it'd likely go a lot faster, no? Just l

That seems like an unreasonable jump to make. Building power plants doesn't work ONLY because of a regulated energy market, though I'm sure it helps. What if the parent commenter hadn't used a utility as an example? If the ex

This is a very interesting thread. I didn't think I'd ever feel differently about this issue, but you've really made me consider some other implications of locking police out of phones. Thanks for chiming in.

Huh. Thanks for taking the time to outline this, I don't know why it never occurred to me. I have to admit, I'm unfamiliar with "rasters" in the way you seem to be referencing them. It sounds, though, like the relational

I'm surprised that Java isn't on here. I have seen piles and piles of Node jobs, and lots of Django positions (in the "cooler" corporate shops), but it seems like Java is still an outlandishly entrenched language, at lea
