The craziest thing to me is that at my location not that many people did the free workout classes. Between those classes and the food I was in the best shape of my life while working there. I steadily got in better shape as they kept cancel

If they like coding and didn't want to prioritize career advancement I would tell them to put effort into finding the projects (or parts of projects) they find more interesting to code and make sure they get assigned that. My advice wa

When I was at Google I mentored a lot of early career engineers and I always told them to write more docs than they think they need. Sometimes docs will catch problems beforehand but early in the career writing easy docs is a simple way to

Don't forget we are also cooking the planet and destroying biodiversity while we are at it. Greed is destroying many things we can never get back, it's made me not want to work for tech companies anymore as they are fairly emblema

This is what happens when someone has total control over an organization, they use it for purely their own benefit. This is why I would prefer more diffuse power structures for organizations in general.

No it's not a click bait headline. Birds that eat carcasses have been in steep decline in many places because of very specific human generated pollutants in the dead animals (in India's case a pain reliever, in California it was l

We've seen consolidation across the whole economy (which have vastly different regulation schemes) so I'm skeptical of it being just regulation driven

I mean you can do without it for LANs but that's not how the game is played 99.9% of the time. I'm skeptical that community reports and moderation would be nearly as effective as anti-cheat software (especially with a lot of cheat

Having worked at a place with a monorepo it was one of the things I actually really liked about working there. It took a lot more tooling but I found it to be much better than a multi-repo would have been, even with a similar amount of tool

Welcome to the internet and especially HN specifically, haha. Also I enjoy that someone called "shitpostbot" is the one calling this out

Except for how at the grocery store the self checkout scale never works well and I need an employee to come over every time I prefer self checkout. Non-self checkouts to me feel like when I drove to a state where I wasn't allowed to pu

I think it depends where you are online because it's true in some spaces but in real life I've known a lot of use these terms to point out very legitimate issues. In general I think these issues are much more prevalent than a lot

How has he been appeasing internal activists? He's been pretty clear about firing them Edit: I'm also unclear on what makes you think he's spending much time on "arbitrary hiring goals". I remember an initiative for

Are there already ticks? I haven't seen them yet in Illinois (though my last hike was a week and a half ago) and it's been below freezing the last few days

I think most users don't care about the app store and would love a significant discount. Like if you have companies and users the choice people wouldn't willingly pay more for it

I don't think your take is controversial in any of the left wing circles I've been in (I think most people remember the terrible things they said while teenagers and understand people change). A lot of the thing with jobs is just

I mean yeah they can see what other firms do but they aren't actually talking to each other (or at least not in a proveable way) to organize prices. It's a very different situation than having a business with an algorithm to share

So the thing with lawyers is that there is no communication (i.e. it's only "tacit collusion"). In this case there is communication via the company with the pricing algorithms. My brother studied tacit collusion as part of hi

So compensation is high but if you look at profits of the companies many workers actually aren't capturing much of the value they are generating. So yeah the people unionizing are getting paid like 200+ thousand a year but when corpora

Yeah I agree. "Unbiased views" doesn't exist and even choosing not to answer certain questions is a view unto itself. Their answers could use improvement but having everyone happy with the answers is literally an impossible

Yeah it read to me like the original comment is discounting the importance of the actual material for content, which would be the most hilariously tech bro thing I've read in a long time.

Having met a lot of people who have been in the military (including my dad and grandpa and a few other people in my extended family) I don't think military people were any better at relating to or understanding people. For me that&#x27

I thought college sports are often profitable (or at least not that expensive) at least partially since not paying athletes saves them a lot of money

Journalism has its flaws but my experience is that some people just want to hate on journalists and will use every excuse. Edit: it's also a little funny to see people who work in tech throwing stones at journalists

The background of the game looks like northwestern France to me (what I would refer to as Brittany but I learned that from video games so idk if there's a more correct name). I'm assuming it's limited to birds there? I agree

If you read the Prime Video blog post the takeaway is definitely not "always use a monolith". I haven't used Step Functions but they specifically mention step functions with a lot of state transitions (and the pricing model i

If someone has my social security number and name and address I'm pretty sure they can just impersonate me however they like (and I have to give my social security number to so many random institutions that it isn't that secret)
