Continuing this charade of "the government and banks are competent at monetary control" is more stupid. Inflation is theft.

The emperor has no clothes. How many crises do we have to go through before we admit the fed and banks either have no idea what they are doing or they know exactly what they're doing and it's malevolent? The number of people here

Do you integrate with Stessa or Roofstock?

While I'm glad that no depositors will lose even a single dollar, can anyone justify how banks and the astonishingly rich continually take large, greedy risks only to be bailed out when they fail? I can't imagine the twists of lo

I'm sure that other people's minds exist. I don't have overwhelming evidence that they are capable of empathy or logic. How do _you_ explain poor, rural people fighting for the benefit of billionaires? IMHO, it defies logic

I've read that SVB UK is a totally separate entity and not affected. I have no evidence of that though.

It's really depressing how we totally fail to permanently learn our lessons. We're just doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past because there are so many uneducated (and "educated") people who suck the propaganda tit

Are you telling me that the company who suckered me into creating a roadmap and hiring plan as part of the interview process for the Head of Engineering position and then ghosted me after I presented it has made a horrible technical blunder

This is a similar argument to "We need to ban encryption to protect children."

I mostly agree with this article about "crypto". Bitcoin is not crypto. In any case, you could make similar arguments about banks and the "Federal" Reserve being scams. In fact, quite a few well regarded politicians of o

I've seen "we can't get OpenAPI to automatically generate our types in a sane way" derail a 3 month project to standardize an API". In 20 years of js, I never had that problem. YMMV

Cool. It doesn't _read_ that way.

So you're "unfortunately" in the position where you can retire and still lead a rich life? Boo hoo Maybe you should retire and use that time to gain some perspective.

I'm so glad I failed the "Professional Engineer" qualification test just after I graduated. I had the worst cold/sinus infection of my life, barely maintaining consciousness during the test and losing consciousness betw

My suggestion is to read and re-read the Ruby guides and documentation. Trying to just "figure out" what Rails is doing and why is a frustrating experience. Taking the time to understand the higher level concepts and methodology

You're missing the point. Some people NEED daily standups and some people will literally quit if they have to do it. That's process. It becomes more difficult when those two individuals are on the same team and then you have to

This thread is all problems a no solutions. I also don't like traditional scrum and meaningless ceremonies but there is value in some of the methodology. There is one thing in particular that no one here is addressing. Underperformin

When I was learning programming, I "wrote" an internal app where a supervisor input some information in a form, it connected to an oracle database and then printed out an outbound manifest for a truck full of car parts. I put &quo

Seems like an irresponsible and useless post. The kind of thing that isn't allowed here on HN. Nothing but heresay, so why say it. Honestly asking.

Correct! Although we typically called it "JIT" or "Just in time". The racks get unloaded at the installation point and the buffer is probably 10-15 minutes of parts. That was 22 years ago and I still have the script.

The labels printed directly to the warehouse floor where parts were being sequenced. So, for example, the Rear Right Fender Flares printer would print barcodes labels and the person sequencing would pick up the next label in sequence, look

I saved my company ~$18 million with a 100 line perl script that I wrote in order to learn programming. It parsed a text file containing Jeep parts that needed to be sequenced and printed barcode labels to Zebra printers. One day a constru

OP: If you were spending your hard-earned money to pay a team of engineers to build your vision, would you care about how long it might take and how much it might cost?

Wow, just when you think things couldn't get more stupid. Revert to a clearly inferior and difficult to use measurement system for what? Politics?

This is straight up theft.
