I want the base model to have 64GB. That's the sweet spot for how much data I keep on my phone (and I suspect I'm not alone). I'm afraid Apple is going to cripple the base model somehow in order to keep us paying for higher c

I'm genuinely curious how there's so much work sailors have to abide by a schedule like this. Is this only in active war zones or is it always like that?

Hiring as an attempt to drive "real" growth (revenue/market share) I can understand but my argument is that the marginal gain of every new employee seems to drop off quickly. I can understand hiring more sales reps if that&#x

It always astounds me that growing the number of employees is one of the key metrics of "growth" startups looks for. As if an unprofitable company with 500 employees is somehow more prestigious than a profitable one with 50. Perha

30 seconds is actually a gross overestimate for AE startup. Your description of our problem is very accurate, though. We still need to over-provision just before the spike, which we do with a cron that scales up to several hundred instances

If you want a stack trace with your errors you can use errors.Wrap()[1]. This repo should replace the stdlib errors package. 1. https://github.com/pkg/errors/blob/master/errors.go#L180

My team moved out entire platform to AppEngine to deal with the traffic spikes we get (among other reasons). It's worked out quite well I must say. It's also cool that if you know you have a spike coming that even AE can't ha

Iron Man style AR has so much more consumer potential than VR imo. Being able to get real-time info about the world around me without having to wave my phone around would be killer.

Makes sense. Bot-0 creates a message that's slightly incorrect to a human reader. Bot-1 reads and interprets it correctly. Bot-0 gets a reasonable response from Bot-1 and thus increasing the confidence in how it structured its original

I'm guessing but it seems logical that phones are not the place you want to do extra graphics rendering if you don't have to.

It's generally the opinion of the Go community that map, reduce and filter are bad ideas due to how easily they are abused. A for loop gets the job done easily enough. If you've ever worked with data scientists working with Python
