This is really exciting. I've been using zsh for years but would probably change to this shell with better completions and theming.

I'm not sure if your comment is directed at me or used for rhetorical effect. Either way it's confusing and a little bit offensive. The first thing is that there's a signal here that you believe there's something defecti

I've recently heard an argument that the probability of being injured/killed by a vaccine (e.g. due to complications, allergies, etc.) is on average greater than the probability of covid causing damage/fatality to an individu

This doesn't surprise me at all. The intersection of engineers and public speakers is pretty tiny. It's not recreational; it's high pressure. You need to find something fun and laidback. Something low stakes, like a semi-week

I'm not buying that they're doing it out of the generosity of the business. Otherwise why not just offer a generous number of days vacation in the benefits package? They're making it unlimited because they're counting on

Either that or provide humane vacation time. In the USA you accrue like 11 days of vacation per year. Contrast with many places in Europe such as Sweden where you are entitled to at least 25 days. Not to mention the cultural differences whe

Folklore, rumors, and gossip are all as old as spoken language. Just a few hundred years ago, educated people still thought there were witches and magical monsters. Only the medium for story telling has changed, but now with the added bene

This is really sad to hear. I'm curious to know why you have to do the majority of the programming?

I think that would make sense, because time seems to speed up as you get older, so if you think only a minute has passed when it was actually 2.5 minutes it would definitely feel like time had gone much more quickly than anticipated

What is the best way to test load and pricing like this? In my mind, the way I would do it is run the server and then hit it with a load tester (i.e. a number of queries simulating the number of users desired). That will tell us if it can w

Adding to this, another reason I hate private insurance is the concept of networks and claims. It doesn't really matter what insurance you have. I have an upper-middle tier PPO, and still two doctors offices have turned me away because

Wow, this is an outstanding post and could probably be an HN submission in its own right. Thank you for sharing.

Agreed. Another could be solo blackhats who just want to make money, who have no state sponsorship. Tangental, but I also hesitate to create such a massive bucket for "mental instability" like that. It's easy to find when som

I absolutely love using Go. The logical flows for my programs are always so clean and easy to follow thanks to the language. Contrast to C++ in which spaghetti and magic is basically idiomatic. The only downside I can think of is that error

For one example, I believe Crystal is inspired by Go in this respect. https://crystal-lang.org/

Agreed. The USA's issue with self-loathing isn't news; it's been a problem infecting our culture for many years now. This tweet is just a symptom of this. Adding my own anecdote, I still know plenty of amazing people outside

Interestingly, many fonts look very strange when zoomed in because they employ all kinds of tricks to exploit optical illusions to give their fonts particular expression, such as curves and pinches that are almost imperceptible when viewed

This is a beautiful font, it looks like the kind of thing I would expect to be seen used in a dictionary or encyclopedia.

This was my take on it as well, bottoming out around June-ish (off the top of my head. can't exactly recall). I thought we were beginning the steady slog back up?

I don't see how it could have been predicted. Amazon being as big as it is now is stranger than fiction.

Is your iPhone primarily a gaming device? I don't understand how you're seamlessly leaping from "Phone" to "Game console" and making equivalency comparisons. In my ways my phone/computer is an extension of

These are fair criticisms. Still though, there are some pretty sweeping generalizations about Google being made here. The company is as big as a city. Not all of their engineering culture is like this. Take what I'm saying with a grain

Sure, it's a crime and he knew that. That being said, let's not pretend like this is a fully developed adult human who has committed murder. This is a child (legally) who committed fraud. The brain of a 17 year old is still physic

This might be true for yourself as a technical savvy person. Camera covers are particularly important to people who are self-aware enough to realize they don't have the tech skills to keep bad actors from gaining access to their camera
