I'd be curious to know how many onewheels have been sold - my guess is that 4 deaths represents a very high risk of death relative to eg snowboarding, but without a denominator, there's no way to know.

Pushback is extremely unintuitive, it should do pushforward instead.

Vercel style instant branch deploys are super helpful for collaboration in my experience. Not sure if that counts as "staging".

As a rule of thumb, when a company is writing blog posts about how "they see" X as a "complementary technology" to their technology... they are in trouble.

I think "OS" for "operating system" and "OSS" for "open source software" are quite standard.

Manta's pricing doesn't include the costs of the foundation, electrical, and plumbing. I don't know exactly what that would run you in the HCOL areas they are targeting but I'm sure it's shockingly expensive.

I would say the "true" friends are the ones that you would hang out with even if you didn't enjoy it. I'm not saying there's anything cheap or false about other friendships! The "transaction" is generally

The SF social playbook. Good lord it's exhausting dealing with these people all the time. How to make friends, the real version: 1. You're only going to have a handful of true friends 2. Everybody else is basically in the same ti

You don't get to say both: "FOSS is just not a good business model. But when making decisions about what libraries to use, or where to invest my time, such concerns are simply not my problem." and: "It’s morally wrong to

"Environmentalism" didn't originally have anything to do with preserving human life. If you don't regard the preservation of human life/civilization as the goal, what's the argument for CO2 emissions being an

In my experience, there is no such thing as a design job where the client (or boss) doesn't make some kind of specific requests or feedback. Of course, with human artists, the marginal cost of such requests is relatively low - perhaps

I agree, considering the constraints, it's not bad. The problem is the constraints, and whatever you think about AMP, at least it was an attempt to tackle this problem head on.

Tribune Publishing's websites are hot garbage and a perfect example of why we need AMP in the first place.

Well the article is about writing a database, which is definitely going to need concurrency and communication via shared memory to deliver the performance that it needs to (which is why the original implementation was mostly C++ and the new

The unique safety features of Rus are all about memory safety, which is not something you have to worry about at all in Python. I can only assume that the bug classes you are referring to would have been eliminated by using essentially any

It's simple, in CA after you pay your rent/mortgage payments there is no money left to spend on anything else, so you pay less sales tax.

Of course we'll never know how much of a difference targeting makes to the bottom line, but I doubt that it's huge. Google's revenue comes from people searching for queries like "good traffic ticket lawyer", and fro

No, just different definitions of "usable". Although it's worth noting that an average test is testing stuff that even the most advanced type system never could.

And yet nobody has yet succeeded in creating a type system that is usable for representing all but the simplest constraints.

All the good stuff you're talking about was a result of the Enlightenment, which didn't happen in a meritocratic society, it happened in semi-aristocratic society which had extremely powerful concepts of social class. Even 70 yea

The problem is meritocracy. The only reason this is a charged political issue is that we have a system where money and power flow to the "best and brightest". This is a bad way to organize a society (smart people aren't act

Yes, "everyone" was an exaggeration. But whatsapp usage in the US is pretty small. iMessage/sms and fb messenger are the only apps with enough market share to matter.

Isn't Brex basically the standard for bay area startups now? Hard to believe that Brex cards in general would be getting flagged.

Yeah, it's actually an interesting case study in performance optimization - GNU grep puts all this effort into optimizing the performance characteristics of the system calls it uses based on deep kernel knowledge, but ripgrep is orders

But it's not in spite of Bezos being a control freak. It's a good quality in a founder.
