Is "releasing when it's ready" basically what was done in the past for e.g. CD-distributed software? I imagine that could work well in some cases, but it also allows corporate bureaucracy and/or marketing teams to determ

I really appreciate / admire the care you all have for devs by being a part of the conversation on HN. Support is _hard work_. I am a dev at a similar startup (Sourcegraph) and always try to take a page out of your book by being respon

I use FDM and resin printers regularly. You can definitely do any infills you want, such as the ones shown in your link. It's not a manual process any more than it is in FDM printers.

The bulk of our water usage does _not_ come from the Colorado River. 36% does. The bulk, 64% of our water (2018), comes from our groundwater aquifers and in-state rivers (and 3% reclaimed) according to ADWR [1] Yes, it's still importan

I live in Arizona. The people commenting here suggesting anyone living in a desert should be 'punished' and forced to live without toilets are completely out of touch with reality. Golf courses, lawns, and toilets are not the issu

God, this is so annoying -- I literally cannot bear to read articles when they do this. I truly don't understand why people think this is a good idea. I also don't understand why there isn't a browser extension to prevent scr

Funny, that is one of my metrics to measure the pretentiousness of a work environment and whether or not a company will be a SV flop or not.

I 100% agree. But it's important that diversity be considered in all forms, not just based on race/sex. If your "diverse" team is made up of different ethnicities and genders but only consists of ivy league members who g

To some extent we do know. We know people who are lonely tend to be less active, and we know people who are less active tend to have worse health. On the Greek island of Ikaria for example[1], we know that people regularly live to be 90 yea

I am pretty sure (but not completely positive) that Ken and Rob don't really do much with Go these days. They have since moved on to other projects for the most part.

As a counterpoint, I live in Arizona (hardly rich tech workers living in my neighborhood, excluding me). Tons of people here have them and almost every instance is either just a delivery person OR literally someone trying to steal crap from

M is a stand-in for the Roman numeral Φ, or 'mille' which is the Latin word for 'thousand'. So MM is thousand thousand's, or million. The reason it was adopted in finance was because M means thousand, except in Engl

Oh, that doesn't surprise me at all. Instacart is fine service-quality-wise in SF/NYC/Seattle areas. It's just in any other major city in the US they seem to suck quite badly.. Also Amazon cut the prices on everything at

I was outraged when I found out about this and made this clear to their support. They didn't even respond. Switched to Prime Now and have never looked back: - Has an actual consistent service level, I've had some crazy Instacart p

Why this is important (for those uninitiated): - Ghidra is basically the first real competitor to IDA Pro, the extremely expensive and often pirated state-of-the-art software for reverse engineering. Nothing else has come close to IDA Pro.
