I support YouTube denouncing flat earthers because the science is clear to me: they're wrong. I think this will get slippery if they make similar tweaks for politics or social issues. This raises the question is it really YouTube'

s/basically//g, it might also expose them to liability. safe harbor is already in question for sites that are moderated. I imagine editing user content crosses another legal line.

Reddit’s value is in the user base, not the software or style of the site.

Youtube used to be like this - now it is advertiser driven. It's a net negative for humanity.

The entire point is that presentations are easier to game than a narrative. If the audience can’t be bothered to read the paper it’s time for the audience to be replaced.

The factory has been closed for two years according to the article. I wouldn’t modernize that shop, bridgeports are workhorses. Tools like that aren’t made anymore.

I'm surprised I didn't see application performance monitoring mentioned here. A lot of applications are complex and in those cases adding containers is only effective until you reach the next constraint. Having two resources (such

I used Instacart and as everyone else has pointed out: it's just too expensive. The grocer in my area accepts orders online and they fill it for free. When it's ready I pull up and they bring out a full cart. It's fantastic.

Amazon admitting this is a business risk to shareholders is a great start but what I really want to see is a commitment to solving this problem. I can't help but be a bit pessimistic here and think that Amazon will do the bare minimum

I wasted a lot of time being a perfectionist. I viewed my work as art and it had to be perfect. Later I realized it’s not my work at all, it’s my employers. I had also come close to burning out and I backed off quite a bit. The switch flipp

Conspicuous consumption is not new by any means. You sell a $10 lamp by putting it on a $100 table. Here's a quote from a 1992 research paper: "The spending patterns of the pretentious members of the baby boom generation, or yuppi

You probably don't want to have debug tools around in prod. It's easier to install tcpdump and start looking at packets, IMO.

The NFL takes over stadium operations during a superbowl. They bring in their own staff and they’re much more rigorous than normal event staff. I wouldn’t play with national events like the superbowl. I think even minor mischief can bring y

New York is definitely finance. It's not to say the tech scene is small though. You have to work a little harder to network but that's nothing new to NYers.

Mozilla is trying to find a way to sustain itself outside of Google. I don't fault them for that. They need money just like any other company.

I wish I could get away from Apple products. I use macbooks. The display is great and I do like that macos typically just works. No futzing. I'm on iOS because I trust Android less. It's the lesser of two evils, unfortunately.

Reddit used to be a lot more open. I can't help but think that since a few years ago there are more rules than ever, more mods, and more pressure to fit into an echo chamber of who the average redditor should be.
