This has been the way to get performance on a large Git repo for over a decade now, just not built into Git. It provides very good improvements even in environments that aren't the fastest, like laptops.

You should go for altitude, not latitude. Far more predictable.

I think you’d have to actively seek a job somewhere that has running COBOL and then express interest in picking it up. They’d probably be happy to have you, but you wouldn’t be making the big bucks. That would have to wait until you had a d

I understand the theory here, and it seems like it works, but it sure would have been nice seeing some actual examples from a corpus of docs.

There have been a couple efforts I know of to “quantify” science progress in general. In one study[0], physicists, chemists and medical researchers were asked to rate the important of different Nobel-prize-winning discoveries in their field

You likely know this, but Ulysses is meant to be read aloud (or at least internally voiced) and as a stream of consciousness. The closest modern equivalent is reading transcripts of Trump’s speeches.

From the email you can quickly work out that he intends this to apply to everyone. He would not ask for exceptions to be routed to him if he meant this just to apply to his direct staff.

The sun is absolutely not a first generation star. It is approximately one third the current best estimated age of the universe (4.6B vs 13.8B years).

I work at one of those two ad-supported businesses, and would be very surprised if there are large scale layoffs. And yes, as one of the responders noted, I meant the services companies. An IBM might do a large layoff, but I generally would

There are risks, yes, but fundamentally we are still an industry that has a lot of upside, vs many others. In a recession many businesses will contract, but it's a rare large tech company that will do more than pause some forms of spen

As someone who has had to execute large layoffs before — hindsight is 20/20. It’s easy to identify bad decisions after the fact. I’d have loved a crystal ball that could have told me half our customers were going to go out of business,

Yeah, the bubble bursting was pretty bad for a couple years. The few companies hiring had the pick of the litter. That said, a lot of us at least had savings. Most Americans do not.

It’s not just keyboards. People feel empowered to behave more aggressively when they are in anonymous (or perceived-to-be anonymous) situations. You see it in driving, people behave very differently behind the wheel, and their aggressivenes

How about the obvious fact that Twitter is not currently worth $54.20/share? It's probably worth half of that if it weren't for the offer, given this week's climate. Surely it's at least partly their responsibility

Knowing Parag, he probably didn’t actually have strong opinions about Product until it was his job to.

A thoughtful CEO doesn’t take the role and immediately start making changes. It takes some time to absorb what’s going on.

Here’s one that is counterintuitive. As you start to scale yourself, hire first for the things you know/do best. You will only be able to identify what good looks like if you understand the job. It will be tempting to keep doing those

$200K/yr and a family of 3 like the author, assuming he takes advantage of public school and lives relatively frugally, you can afford a 4-bedroom house in a not-bad part of the Bay Area in 10 years in the best case. And you need your

Ya'll are talking past each other. Since I made the comment, I will define my terms more precisely. In 2-3 years someone who consistently invests a fixed portion of their earnings/assets into a weighted vehicle/basket will be

I hated a long time on AMZN too. Regretted it. NET looks similar to me, albeit it won’t be taking over 30% of the economy of course.

I lived through the dotcom bust, the financial crisis and now this. Long term it isn’t going to be any worse than they were. In 2-3 years we will be recovering. I feel bad for people who can’t wait out a market cycle, but that’s what this

Farmers keep planting more and more almond groves in places that cannot naturally support anything but grazing. At some point there will have to be a reckoning over water rights, although I don't expect it to be pretty.

Why are Mercedes, Porsche and Lamborghini trying to sell me cars for 10X the price of a Kia? This article is not worth your time to read and neither is this comment. ;)
