But not as reliably. Especially the Chromecast. Paying extra for reliability is absolutely worth it.

I've successfully done a few "rewrites" but truthfully, the "rewritten code" was put into production, replacing the old code, within a month. Rewrites don't work if you have to wait to use the code. Basically,

Even using React v5 without a state library for a large app was bonkers back then, regardless of what the library maintainers said. At some point you will have some state that transcends the UI and trying to shove it into React UI component

Between the companies I've worked with and the incidents I've been through, I'd say AWS is well-known to be "very slow" at updating their status reports when something goes down. Even had AWS liaisons tell us that t

Sometimes it's nice starting from scratch because once you learn something, your thinking is "corrupted" and your take isn't very fresh anymore.

Does anyone have a less biased article about this to tell if this is actually a thing? I remember the controversy over Common Core Math and I realized a lot of people complaining about it weren't very good at math and their criticism w

No, https works because we already agreed upon on one authority and one protocol and it’s called ICANN and DNS respectively. This could be done with radio too but we don’t because a typical website transfers hundreds of megabytes and the tr

A static web server can theoretically be induced to execute code because it still has parsers. While I do agree a static site has a smaller attack surface, I think it’s more that nginx has way more eyes on it and a much slower development r

Sure, but on very long timescales. And eventually once you make enough of it, it gets lodged in all sorts of places, some less susceptible to decomposition, such as humans in bogs or mammoths in glaciers. I just find it hard to believe ther

I don’t know why everyone thinks these things are so black and white. For example, corn subsidies inevitably lowers the price of sugar, which means — on a micro level - some food engineer might replace some fat with sugar to reduce costs bu

That’s possible that they don’t have the same materials as us but they would have the same problems. Take plastic or metal. Their main draw is that they do not decompose or degrade. There are a billion problems that can be solved when you h

That species would have to be completely united and able to collude without a single disagreement. Not only that, they would have had to achieve complete perfection because we haven’t found a single trace .

You could just store them in a separate password manager like BitWarden? Or even encrypted in a separate Dropbox account? Ultimately if you want to be able to recover your identity from anywhere in the world with absolutely nothing on you e

You can lose hardware tokens in the same way you lose a phone? Then you’re just as screwed? This isn’t a hardware token versus passkey problem. It’s a problem period if you store a piece of vital data on a physical device. You can lose it,

I don’t think the point is to get hung up on the actual number “10x.” There’s not even a metric so how can there can be a number? 10x just refers to those top performers for sake of discussion. The point is not the semantics.

There are 10x people in every field. It’s not “everyone is average and there are 3 Einsteins”. It’s a bell curve and eventually you’ll meet someone on the farther ends of both sides. Chances are there’s always someone much better or much wo

To me, whether you use waterfall or agile or something in between, or whether your managers give you full independence or measure every little metric, or whether you choose to do a lot of design up front or build a MVP right away, ultimatel

Knowing ahead of that problem, you can plan a solution though? Everything I have is cloud-synced and even if I lose my phone right now in a random country, I definitely know how I can recover all my 2FA tokens and logins from a random termi

I don't know about everyone else, but once I close all my work apps, I completely forget about work. I just got other things I wanna do on my mind so I don't see why I would think about work. Work to me is like going to the bathro

Trust is more nuanced more than that though. I trust my grandma to make a good cake, but I do not trust my dad to do the same. But I trust my dad to be there when I call him, whereas I wouldn't of my grandma. And that level of trust nu

That has nothing to do with the deductions they get now? If W2 withholding was removed, people who have more take home pay then go into debt when taxes were due.

Or maybe because a lot of people in this scene have ties to SF so they post it in the way that you tell friends of happenings.

Show the voter 4 drawings. They pick the worst one. Throw in a control once in a awhile. Eventually you’ll have a sorted list of the best to the worst frames. Have the worst ones redrawn. However, if you let it run too long, you might get a

How does that not describe every technology? The cotton loom didn’t present itself as a means of accumulating wealth and power, but yet it did. Why would you pay a group of people that much to weave when a cotton loom can do the work of 10?

Don’t forget that civil engineering and construction are literally the oldest fields. Millions of people have had their minds on this for millennia.

Well let’s say I find a super successful restaurant that makes its burritos one way. I’m amazed. I’m inspired. I write a book about it and describe the specific ways that they do things that make them successful. Then a few years later, I

This is technology in general though. Technology first benefits the rich and causes people to lose their jobs, but then in the next generation, people get different jobs and everyone’s life is better. Technology is a double edge sword in ev

Well the word “efficient” always needs context. You have to define the goal first before you can define efficiency. OP said electrical efficient so the goal is conversion of electricity to heat and it’s 100% efficient. Even an electric heat

I mean I know people who seem to get in an accident once in a while — sometimes completely their fault — and other people who have driven 20 years everywhere and clearly drive better and react quicker than anyone else I know. So by all mean
