A lot of people are in the "if I could just hire right I'd be fine" camp when they should be in the "why is the way I'm trying to build this stupid" camp. Address the root problem, go in with the assumption tha

You could probably set up a rudimentary version of the service this influx of users is looking for in the time it took to write this article. Just grab the lat/long of each area code in the US off of wikipedia and there you go at least

I'm saying that Amazon has no excuse for it's inability to improve working conditions. It's able to bleed money elsewhere, it damn well should be bleeding it to the tune of improving workers' conditions and salaries

I can't believe people are still sending email marketing. I report spam and unsubscribe on literally anything marketing related even from services I use and all my friends do this as well and have for nearly a decade.

It's not even that it's broken. It's a large language model. People are treating it like it is smarter than it really is and acting confused when it gives bullshitty answers.

Having debugged stuff for someone crazy who wanted less than 50ms global latency for a private search engine I can tell you the TLS negotiation adds significant time the first time you initialize the connection

Capital always behaves this way, it isn't really surprising. What's embarrasing is the federal government and the news coverage making it seem like the strike was a huge risk and the only way to deal with it was to forcibly silenc

by sam0x17 4y ago
Yeah anything short of meeting the strikers demands is insane. I still can't believe that's not what went down. These are possibly some of the most important workers in the country, and they can't even get sick days.

As a solo developer at the time, I was astounded by the 30% cut when it first came out in the early 2000s and I'm still just as astounded now.

This is a really glaring example of mismanagement on the federal government's part. Apparently the number of staff who maintain the rails was cut some time before the incident, and this is the main reason the rails were not properly ma

No no they should have never had it above 10% to begin with. The case with Epic never should have needed to happen. They've been over-extended all along.

by sam0x17 4y ago
Companies of this size need to play the long game, but quarterly OKRs and a beuracratic structure ensure they only ever play the short game. The 30% is great this quarter and next quarter, and every quarter until the quarter where it goes a

I'm saying they have over-extended to the point where they are begging for regulation. Much wiser to not over-extend to the point where regulators are pissed off. Now they could lose it all instead of having a more reasonable rate. At

I’ve found that writing in Rust has re-ignited the spark of programming being fun for me again if you derive fun from writing some elegant and sexy code rather than finishing something per say, but that’s true of anything with coding

It's really not. We let advertising platforms off the hook even in cases where they are paid to spread misinformation. In other areas we are not so lenient even though the situation is essentially identical (some entity being paid to d

Yeah it's about 1-2 months rent for most people, at a time when many of them were laid off. That's just break-even shit. No one is flush with cash from that certainly
