He didn't say they couldn't discuss things rationally, he said they couldn't have a fruitful argument. I'm not sure what he meant by this, but to me a fruitful argument is one where one or more sides learn something, and

I think the point is more that there's increasingly no reason for CircleCI to exist. All your major code hosting players have a CI tool and the various accessories you'd want to attach to it. I think CircleCI has a niche in orgs t

I'd never heard of 'rolling coal' before. It's where you modify a diesel vehicle to dump fuel and emit a lot of smoke from the exhaust. As you might expect, people who do this to their trucks are very proud of it; it&#x

> I’m not saying that’s how you’re running things Good, because we're not. The main takeaway here, which I think we agree on, is that a good hiring decision requires more than one input. We happen to use a coding challenge as one in

This is a good question. At least where I'm working, we have multiple conversations with a candidate throughout the interview process. When I have the opportunity, I do talk about technical or process challenges we have and try to be u

I try to point out at the beginning that we understand it's manufactured pressure, and try to ease their minds if we can before getting started. In particular, we ask people to solve the problems in whatever language they are most comf

Maybe I've just drunk the koolaid, but as someone who has given these 'coding challenge' interviews, I: - Do go into them expecting to see a certain solution. - Do not penalize people for giving me a different one, if it work

What do you use for fertilizer today, and where does it come from? Is there a scaling concern there, as well?

Does it matter if the camera is for a nonspecific security purpose and incidentally captures your activity, vs. a camera installed for the specific express purpose of recording your activity?

Yeah, it would have been a good article if it actually drew lines between the the Iranian revolutionary's behavior and something else. Instead it just says "now I see the same thing: cancel culture" and points fingers at... h

I actually didn't know the current breakdown, which is why I wrote 'did/does'. I believe the rest of my comment is correct.

If we ban chemical fertilizers (what does this include, btw?), will we be able to grow enough food to feed everyone? What else would have to change to make that possible?

Probably not. It would certainly be exceptional if anyone actually has this in an employment contract. People are bringing this sort of thing up because of vague language in their employment contract or employee handbook that doesn't e

Yeah... In that example though it's a basketball player caught with vape pens in her luggage, not olympic doping. The big difference is that she's not harmed her reputation with her behavior, like Hans has (or she would have were

Oh I agree with you, and that's something I forgot to mention - if you do SMS/MMS routed through Fi, they downscale everything. Forget 4k video - any video you take is getting repackaged as a .3gpp file at very low resolution (144

To be fair, I don't think Apple has opened up iMessage either, otherwise this problem would have solved itself already with a third-party app.

I don't think it's this simple. RCS is implemented by carriers and is a feature of mobile service like SMS. It has a qualification/accreditation process. iMessage is an internet service. If I were Apple, I would not budge. I

This is kind of an aggressive take on it. It's circles around targets and often shows a bomb or grenade. When I read your comment I thought you meant there was gore; there was not. It's true that this guy is essentially profiting
