For those interested in these sort of things I highly recommend the incredibly well done Fall of Civilisations podcast: https://fallofcivilizationspodcast.com/ , there is an episode on the Maya civilisations.

That's what we see in our app, and I used to see all the time in others (I was a performance and scaling consultant for years). It's trivial to use jemalloc on heroku, so you may as well, and after that it's mostly preventing

Did you check to see what happened when you used jemalloc?

You can already use jemalloc on Heroku, it's really simple, so this comment is about releasing memory back to the OS, the other headline feature of Fullstaq. > Memory bloat is a real problem, even for mid-size Rails apps. Yes, but t

Calm down, I tell them not to watch Netflix or YouTube while they're concentrating on their homework because it will affect their ability to concentrate. It's not some sort of police state. They lead happy fulfilled lives in gener

It was made as a comment on another comment about "media being put on as background", an activity which I believe my wife's friend buys into. If that wasn't clear then perhaps you could have enquired rather than being so

I bet they're not taking a lot of it in. Youth might convey certain enhanced abilities to switch between tasks efficiently denied to older people, but I'm willing to bet that even at the simple level of "computer game while o

Doesn't the fact that you're commenting on a story about their rocket program with a comment about them putting people in concentration camps show that we can spot both, at least from a high level?

I feel like the rule "you must stock split before the value of your shares reaches $429,496.7296 per share" isn't going to put too many people off :)

Sometimes you hire the wrong person, Basecamp has done it before. Having to replace (currently) 30%+ of your org increases that risk, in addition to the initial costs of hiring all those people and getting them up to speed.

There's no indication that anything like that alternative would have happened.

You're mis-construing the situation. The people are leaving because of the heavy handed and incredibly insensitive policy making, not because they spent all their time in committees and that's being taken away from them. All the p

This is really simple, it's about the policy and the way it was announced, there's little more to read into the situation. Minor points: There was no corporate gym membership, it was just "Here's $100, spend it on fitnes

Basecamp isn't going to be running out of money any time soon, they have a massive number of customers, and a tiny staff. It's a profitable company. The benefits are a minor annoyance. They were likely dwarfed by the switch from C

I know most of the people who left. It's the policy and the method of delivery, not the severance. The severence will make it easier to go for sure, but this is about the policy. People seem to be making this way more complex than it i
