I think a lot of people really don't get this. I relish alone time and rarely seek out contact. But I also used to do sales pitches and attend conferences and was never uncomfortable no matter how unfamiliar the crowd. I just found it

Remember when a slew of SV execs lined up behind his presidential campaign? That was way back when he was a Democrat.

This is just a convenient way to access stable western currency. Having been to Russia and Argentina during their worst inflation years before crypto, they solved their issues by asking for US paper dollars. Crypto is just saving them curre

Almost every complaint I see about working in tech is 90% applicable to any industry. The problem in every company is other people. Some are greedy, selfish, dishonest. Some mean well but market forces demand unsavory practices. You won&#x2

Media covers plenty. We call it "headline unemployment" because it fits in a headline. If you read articles and analysis there's plenty of places in the MSM that get into nitty gritty.

I watched this and my cynical takeaway was he was trying to make an appeal to emotion. Why buy from China when we can support the good people of Alabama? Their elected senator just called me a rat. Why should I support Alabama over China? T

The textile industry in the US was synonymous with worker abuse and sweatshop conditions. The Triangle Shirtwaist fire is the canonical example. Heavily dependent on immigrant labor.

You're misreading. The civilian casualties are very much intentional. They are being ordered to fire on unarmed people seeking food. There are verified reports of IDF targeting journalists and EMTs. I am also Jewish American and I am 1

Yeah, the idea makes sense. More sense than CSS which ended requiring years and years of refinement and pre-processors to be usable.

I never enjoyed XSLT. It always felt like a square peg for a round hole. I do miss XML though. It had so, so many power features that too few people knew how to use. XSD was incredibly good for domain modeling. It had an include systems for

Idling trucks are a public health hazard. Reporting actual crimes isn't spying. Certainly not when it's on public streets.

Yeah, measuring individual productivity via JIRA is well-known to be a bad idea. Story points are meant to measure product completeness, not individual efficiency. It's just hard to stop people from reading too much into it. I think it

I'd also argue most engineers don't think very hard about what's actually valuable to a company. A smooth build pipeline and ample test coverage are only worth whatever fraction of risk reduction of the product they are deliv

I have an ancient ipad that is still functional but stuck on iOS 9. Xcode doesn't let you target that version anymore. Is it still possible to compile an ipa for devices out of support?

CBP has no authority to arrest citizens. They would have to be assuming Lander is undocumented and they clearly have no reason to suspect that.

The issue is the HN title not matching the actual story. The City headline is correct. And the HN headline has also been updated to be correct.

Revoking a visa due to politically speech is a violation of the first amendment. It's leverage executive authority explicitly to promote the administrations current preferred foreign policy. He committed no crime and made no threats t

That's a really bizarre take. You think it's acceptable to deny entry to someone based on your assessment of their political opinions? Given the very directly related context that Columbia students with visas and greencards are be

Freedom of speech is not a right bestowed on citizens but an encumbrance on the government. They cannot set policy based on protected speech. Nor is there any definition of journalist that precludes having a point of view.

I remember when that was happening. Autonomy boasted a few flagship products around enterprise search and CMS. Products I was very familiar with as an implementer. Products that well and truly sucked even back in the early days when they di

As a long time Android user, I scarcely even notice OS updates. My last 3 phones have felt like they were about the same device.

I think there's a fundamental limit to benchmarks when it comes to real-world utility. The best option would be more like a user survey.

As an occasional user of Mistral, I find their model to give generally excellent results and pretty quickly. I think a lot of teams are now overly focused on winning the benchmarks while producing worse real results.

Can anyone convince me of why I should care about OS U8 design? Don't people spend 98% of their time inside an app that doesn't follow the system UI?

Bad designers are like bad engineers. Seeking interesting things to do rather than serving the audience. Honestly, can't blame them either. They want to enjoy life not make profits. Really good designers exist and are about as rare as

A lot of eyes are being batted. But really, him punishing Musk is barely in the top 100 things we're worried about right now. We're barely a few months into his term. The chances of seeing full on Martial Law before 4 years is ter
