It’s more that copy paste. It’s a philosophy of what the documentation is for. If I’m looking at a doc I’m here because I want to do a specific task. The documentation should be task centric like the instructions for a university homework a

I agree with this 100%. GCP documentation is not useful when attempting to solve specific problems. It’s good for gaining a general idea of how things work. But how specifically does one bind an ssl cert and key to a load balancer? How spec

I paid for GCP support. It was laughable. I’d send a question like: I’m using feature A to do XYZ. The documentation <here> does not include corner case XYZ. Please advise. They would reply. Please see documentation (same link I just

Hey google. You want people to use your cloud? Fix your documentation. It’s abysmal. For example: 1) How do you use let’s encrypt with google kubernetes engine? 2) How do you securely store secrets? Pretend you don’t know and try to follow

What. The. Fuck. Why not high speed rail like down the peninsula. Or invest in feeders to existing lines. Or build it literally anywhere where people are. I quit. We aren’t worth saving.

This should explicitly be allowed under the law. Right now parents can exempt their children from lifesaving vaccines. Kids should be allowed to override that.

That was my knee-jerk reaction too, but if you read the comment carefully you’ll see “truly affordable”. That’s the key. If we keep doing what we’re doing now, affordability gets worse. If we build at a fevered pace we might be able to keep

That is correct. It’s unlikely we could ever bring the prices down. But if we build new housing for every new job we create, we can at least stop the bleeding and keep it from getting worse. And it will get worse. More people keep coming be

Does anyone actually read the WSJ links that get posted here? It’s subscription only so linking from here only works if you already subscribe, at which point you’re not linking from hacker news...

I switched from Mac to Linux. On my Lenovo X1 everything works out of the box (audio is fine, Bluetooth and WiFi are fine, external displays etc). It’s not all sunshine and roses but no deal-breakers in two years. I’m super impressed by how

Add Netflix to the list. They pay extraordinarily well. Although most engineers make half what you listed. And what’s the median home price in Mountain View, San Francisco, Palo Alto, Los Altos? None of the above are less than a million. By

Where did you move? I’d guess 50% of the people in this thread are open to leaving the Bay Area if we find a location with comparable opportunity.

I saw this happen in reverse. I was buying servers from Rackable in orders of several millions of dollars. They bought SGI. Fired their Bay Area support staff, moved support to Ohio which was a huge short term gain. But support became so ba

When they blew up San Bruno they were clearly negligent. They initiated the shift from low pressure to high pressure without proper testing inspection or notice. I assure you that any reasonable person tasked with doing that safely would ha

These vehicles are in violation of emissions controls and are subject to revocation of their registration. Feel free to report them to your state dmv. Photographic evidence should be sufficient. In other news the black soot of diesel exhaus
