Still their cash cow. They may have been the first company to build a useful internet search engine but they are also mostly an advertising company.

I interviewed there. . . they are looking to monetize reddit more/better i.e. actually make some cash. I am the hugest fan of reddit. . . it will be interesting to see if they can increase revenue without impacting the user experience

I still use the "old reddit" mode. Cannot stand the narrow main page in the new view.

Same here, I'm mostly sticking with it because of muscle memory at this point, definitely not because of RMS. I may switch over to a new school UI based editor one of these days. I used VSCode for a bit but got sick of it. Like OP, I r

If I had the means to do so, I would do it just to avoid the politics of the US. Better cuisine is a big driver for me too - hello Italy or France.

Congratulations, I would do the same but I do not have the means to do so.

Would you say that Rust has strong static types?

100% nope. I've been coding for more than 2 decades. Like everyone else, I have my favorite languages and tools. I don't like "messy" languages and I'll just keep this going into flamewar territory and not say what

The key bit here is that good business sense is oftentimes more important than your degree or even profession. A successful plumber, carpenter, electrician, etc who builds a large enough business can make millions of dollars per year. It is

I never hopped on the Love Shack bandwagon. I'm with you, their first few albums were the best.

Exactly, came her to say that I work with computers. Computers can do things quickly, in fact that's the number one reason we use them. This is utter baloney. Unsubscribe requests do not need to be complicated or unreliable.

One other thing to note about open source and I was explaining this recently to my daughter who is planning to major in CS and become a software engineer. . . If you create a popular open source tool/framework/etc and it really ta

While I agree that microservices don't make sense for every use case and definitely not for small companies/platforms, I've done the monolith thing over and over again and for me, microservices truly are a superior platform m

But if that extra complexity and difficulty helps to improve the overall quality and safety of the code people write with it, then maybe it's worth it? Or put another way, C and C++ make some things easy when perhaps they shouldn'

I worked with some of OG Symbolics back in the mid 2000s. The were the smartest engineers I've ever known. Cool people too.

One "trick" I usually use with Lambdas - add a main() method that allows you to run the Lambda as a regular command line app. If you authenticate locally with a test environment in AWS, you can pretty much test everything in your

Great response. . . I have some friends (let's call them A and B) who worked together years ago, both solid engineers. One of them (A) is perhaps not a 10x engineer (I kind of have a problem with that term and the way it's tossed

I predict that Ubuntu, Hashicorp and/or Docker are acquired in the next year. I could see Microsoft acquiring any of them.

We're all watching Microsoft with GitHub. . . it'll be interesting to see how the tech industry evolves over the next 5-10 years.

Don't forget the HMOs and Big Pharma. Healthcare in the US is massively one big racket.

There are doctors in my extended family. . . the way their referral networks work and the way they can restrict who can practice in the same town/area is straight up mafia.

I literally decided today to start using paper and pen for note-taking. I haven't even tried half of these apps but I'm tired of looking for the one true note taking app that won't annoy me.

This is how I feel about Slack. I use it, it's everywhere but it's pretty ordinary. FFS, they still haven't implemented a dark theme yet. . . isn't that something you can just do in CSS?
