When I first learned git, I had no idea what staging meant and the differences between A, M, D, R, AM, etc... Only some time later (albeit a short time) I learned about -a, at which point I had a bit more understanding of the statuses and w

How many people do you think have more than $250k in the bank? How many people do you think have more than $250k in FTX? It sounds like you're saying it's not good enough because 0.1% of people won't get the full benefit.

The music industry was losing out on tons of money until Spotify and music streaming services came up. Unlike movies, I think people like to have all their music in one place so if they cut Spotify out of the middle then instead of people m

I think India is already quite socialist to begin with so anti-capitalism isn't a very strong sentiment there. There's also a lot less centralization and fewer monopolies. I probably shopped at my local small business much more of

Being productive is good but only as a means to an end. If you're using your productivity to get more done then that can be dangerous. But if you're using it to get your work done faster then it's actually quite useful.

I would understand that if the method was left out. But in this case, a strings.Compare method is provided but the implementation says not to use it. That's the worst of both worlds. The stdlib still has this extra method and users wil

Grit is exactly what's needed to pass college courses and final exams. It's also one of the most important skills in the real world. It's easy to have a stroke of luck or be a genius for a day on a single exam. It's much

By providing real value to founders/sellers, you're taking away so much value from potential co-founders such that no co-founders will want to use this. And if there are no co-founders, then why would founders or sellers use your

I'm all for this change. I've had to explain this weird programming quirk of Go to coworkers on multiple occasions and can't wait for it to be solved.

I don't think it's some super novel insight by him. The news has existed for many centuries and at least to some extent, it has created misunderstandings as long as it has existed.

In my opinion, it's self confidence that other people want to hear what you have to say. Introverts are more likely to wait for others to prompt them or invite them into the conversation whereas extroverts will start talking with the c

People will be offensive in the real world but I don't think we should encourage or accept that kind of behavior. If we build a society where people are shamed and shunned and not allowed to participate (whether it's a short timeo

I'm always surprised that cops don't care about "small peanut" cases because that's exactly how you get to the head of an organized crime ring.

It actually blows my mind how Twitter decided to kill Vine when it was very clear that they had an amazing opportunity. Vine was still very popular when they axed it especially considering how many of the popular TikTok and YouTube creators

Different countries have different laws but generally you're allowed to arrest someone when you have reasonable suspicion that they've committed a crime (say 99%) and then only confirm it 100% once they're arrested.

I'm a bit surprised more employers don't offer this. It seems like a very good way to retain talent especially as it becomes harder to find experienced software engineers for the same low salaries.
