They fumbled the bag so bad with their Ocean launch. They basically released a beta car and people reviewed it poorly because it was buggy. You might think Tesla does the same, and they do, but if you see the reviews of this car specificall

I think an engaging workplace is hard to cultivate. You have to be working on hard stuff and the people working toward it need real stakes in the game. That's not easy to find these days. If you do want this I think you'd be able

I share the same feeling. Give me a reasonable take-home where I can flex my knowledge on some real-world stuff. Some people I've worked with in the past scoff at this idea. When I ask them how they would prefer I evaluate technical ab

I used to work at a place where weekly we'd have a show-and-tell with the team for about 30 minutes. One week I brought this and I let people who don't code give answers to see how far we'd get. It's interesting to see s

Lina Khan has honestly been doing an amazing job in her position. She's taking on the amazons of the world and you're complaining she isn't doing enough? In a perfect world we could just clone her so she could also break up t

Good point, I didn't consider this. I understand that feeling to some degree. At the same time, I think this is just how CSS has always been. Originally we had to style pages with tables and when flexbox/grid came out there were o

I’m unsure if you have specific feedback or just a general misunderstanding of the point of additions like layer to the spec. At the end of the day these are all more tools in our toolbelt. If you want you can keep writing CSS the same way

While I 100% agree that GLP-1 antagonists won’t lead most to making actual changes to their behaviors with food outside of forcing them to not over-eat when actively taking the drug, I am not so sure about your hot take here. A woman I know

I feel like comparing performance of Vapor against Node JS in May of 2024 isn’t all I want to see. Like yes Node JS still dominates but we know other runtimes like Bun run much faster. That part aside, I have to say Vapor kind of took over

I think having pricing linked like that is an immediate turn-off to potential users. Personally the second I see a pricing link in a nav bar I assume, without even clicking, that it's a paid service. Renaming the link to "Donate&q

I can almost hear the Meta execs cackling in their bathtubs of cash. Seriously though, this decision just feels unsubstantiated and rushed. There are so many claims of manipulation and our data being used by China via TikTok but I can'

Just looking at that second page, it's truly a bloodbath in terms of numbers for Q1. Down on nearly every measure. They give a bunch of excuses on the first page. All of the excuses are just them pointing the finger externally and not

I can only chuckle when I read things like this. There was another post on the homepage today talking about how podcasts in general are still growing in popularity. But Google fumbled the bag yet again!

No, but I am currently in a startup that mainly uses DyanomoDB (similar to Mongo) with support from Elastic for more search-based queries. We've found DyanmoDB to be great and we don't feel hindered by the lack of relational-ness.

Only tangentially related but can we all just take a moment to appreciate that a fundamentally decentralized technology such as podcasts can grow to be such a huge market? Certain things about podcasts are only really possible because of th

A lot of my Podcasts that I listen to _are_ basically news or talk-radio style shows. Just with the added benefit that I can listen on demand, pause, skip past ads, etc.

We need regulation around this sooo bad. Nobody reads TOS, or at least 99.9999% of people don't because it's simply too much. It's unreasonable to expect people to read these long documents and understand what they mean. We n

I'm personally so happy Apple decided to finally drop this project. I hope they focus efforts on CarPlay and integrating it deeper into upcoming cars from other manufacturers. But on top of all of that, I think we're at this point
