   That's adorable. You know that no matter how much testing you do, that something WILL slip through the cracks? Always.

   In Austin, they had a taxi app at the right time. The problem was that they were still taxis, and if no one felt like ever coming to pick you up, then you were just left high and dry. Uber told a specific person to come pick me up. Taxis wo

   They don't outcompete. AWS's ES is a steaming pile of crap and everyone I've ever met with a real usecase that needs ES on AWS rolls their own on their own EC2 instances.

    For me personally. I can't really see my friends, I can't really walk over to the coffeeshop or bar to work and get out of the house. Having a (large) dog means that I also have to leave the apartment several times a day to proper

    OP, I'm your age. I'm still paying my lease in Austin, but I went back to the East Coast to be closer to family in early March. My one bedroom apartment in a busy part of town turned into a huge drawback once this all started, esp

    As someone who has been moved his DnD sessions to Discord with COVID going on, and has made a "shareable map" out of Google Sheets, this looks fantastic!

    Hey, Apple still hired them. Apple is chosing to dilute its core engineering brand. It's not like an end user can tell if a "real engineer" wrote the shitty webpage that's currently giving them grief.

    A history of breaking dev environments? I'd argue they have a history of breaking everything on release. I do agree that they have a history of stablizing after a few months, but it's been longer than that.

    I'll take the bait. It's 2020, is the NYT still considered highly reputable? Or is it just a "loveable brand name" at this point?

    Ahh, wonderful. You're taking away the only thing that made me pick GCP and GKE over AWS and EKS? AWS used to charge me for the master node, and it was more than the worker nodes cost. So the logic reaction to AWS lowering that cost to

    FYI, their consumer name is VRBO. The HomeAway office is here in Austin, but the actual app you use is called VRBO (and I think all the offices are getting new signs soon?).

    I find this whole conversation interesting as someone who is working on a text adventure (shameless plug: https://danger.world ). I personally chose verb-noun, but it would be very simple to flip it around.

    Another good question to always ask is "If I'm getting X from Y, what do I do if Y stops providing X the way I need it?" An example might be analytics. It's good to know that you can drop in a third-party library and jus

    PayPal has convinced everyone they shouldn't count as a bank in the US. I have zero idea how they managed this, but the cynic in me would lobbying?
