all good points. i also think what really pushes a lot of developers to do open source, and bear with me for the unpopular opinion--is ego. they love having followers, and a voice on twitter with some open source badge on their profile page

i see your point, but it also brings about something like where certain people see quality degrading, and go off to make their own subreddit/community like /r/truereddit or /r/truetruereddit, etc. it's an inter

exactly. it's almost a catch 22. most great jobs are in the cities, because all of the great talent is mostly located in urban areas, and all of the great talent is mostly located in urban areas because all of the great jobs are there.

why is that different from say...a movie youre going rent on apple TV or in the theater?

along with many many many others, e,g jukely.com that actually has a ton of cities but catered towards people who like to discover artists more so go to giant popular shows (has subscription fee)

i'm inclined to believe that pro is aimed at people willing to drop a ton of money that think they're pro more than they actually do professional work, and that's sort of been a lot of apple's theme around their "pr

depends on how you look at bust years. i would argue that 2009 and 2010 still fall into the social network bubble. i would probably combine 2007-2015 into one long excitement period transitioning from social networks to iphone apps to block

i dont think i know of any airline company that prides themselves on the code they wrote?

can't you do far worse if you're actually plugging in and running code from a flash drive on someone's computer?

cool! thanks for the response

are you specifically targeting hospitals and working with them? or is this just a plug for some random startup that does art for other startups

is this too deep for a tsunami effect? can underwater volcanoes cause tsunamis?

i've read that for pilots, the 737 is better and more manual (if the need arises to fix things or do overrides) compared to the airbus a320 which is a bit newer and has more electronics and sort of does a lot of things for you, but als

> faulting them for becoming successful and relevant in the first place. you make it sound like this article is nitpicking uncomfortable chairs in the office. they're calling out deplorable working conditions.

i understand the point -- that SF is ludicrously expensive. however that point is muddled when you see the budget breakdown. show me a reasonable budget where youre not spending 6K a year on CLOTHES and then i'll be better suited to ar

5.5K on their living (mortgage + property tax) eats all of their income. not surprised. 800$ a month car payment. 2100$ a month on food...i feel like if they at the very least tried to be somewhat frugal, they can probably save a ton. this

i'm highly paraphrasing (dont really know the source and maybe the its from SJG) but your quote really reminds me of -- "do you know the best painter that ever lived? a chinese potato farmer"

i don't think i ever saw that. which browser?

by volkk 8y ago
i think it's a bit more complicated than that. very skilled developers that know this tech won't jump ship to many borderline broke startups which could easily just get started with docker with less than 'rockstar' devs

It's weird but I was never interested in it and had no idea what I was in for until I majored in computer science. My dad is a programmer and essentially told me that this is the way to go in the future. Having spent tons of time on th

curious to understand how austin's traffic compares to that of NYC. i was in austin with a car rental and it seemed like no big deal (granted i wasnt driving during rush hour).

i'm not sure what you're arguing here. if you have a complicated codebase you write tests so that when you add other code, you have a bit more confidence that you're not breaking things. furthermore, if a new person joins a t

granted that it's probably safe, but seeing a screenshot in the comments of someone running this code with no clue as to what it actually does under an "admin" user is kind of funny.

> We have reached the point where output from a DSLR sized body compares very favorably to a medium format sensor. I think at this point it's mostly a price issue. Medium format cameras are essentially the same size (Hasselblad x1d)
