Well, now you have a data point. Will you use this reflection to shape the next three and a half years?

It's easy to feel discouraged, but keep in mind: 1. The author didn't write this overnight. The oldest commits go back to Oct. 2017, three and a half years ago. Imagine what you could accomplish if you worked on something for thre

From your description it feels less like an issue with the code not being clever enough and more like an issue with the code not being organized and architected efficiently. I think the "don't be clever" edict applies to code

I think that was the GP's point. They're implying that the agencies only engage in redundant work, not significant work.

True, but I don't want to have to exit out of 5 breakpoints each time I run through the scenario. I just want to run it with the print output logging the procession and key variables as a summary of relevant info. To me that's the

While I agree that Metric is better, converting isn't very practical. Imagine the cost of having to change every sign, book, and other text using imperial measurements, as well as any programs and tools that are based on imperial. It j

I think they mean using Node.js tools like yarn/NPM for compilers, linters, etc, as opposed to using it for a server.

Are you sure it won't evolve into that anyway? Google isn't looking at FLoC as a compromise, it's just an intermediary while they continue their ever-lasting search to optimize their ad services. The next Big Thing will arriv

That invites even more inquiry. So the author waited for people to come to them, and when nothing worked out, declared themself "unemployable" (despite not proactively looking for work). I get that people can hit hard places, and

Are you really unemployable if you aren't fitting in with companies with which you would be a bad fit? Sounds more like an issue with your application choices than your employability.

Hopefully! But I also have to look at how well Google Hangouts works in Firefox, and how well Zoom meetings work in browsers at all, and consequently limit my faith that marketshare is a heavy determinant in client behavior.

Until Google implements the behavior and applies it to their sites. Then Google services stop working smoothly on Firefox and Safari because the shared session on those sites is only functional on Chrome. Imagine having to log into gmail, c

It's about solving every problem in due time. Starting with an easily scalable infrastructure, if the need for a scalable infrastructure is either unproven or distant, is not the best use current resources. It's more cost-effectiv

Do you reinforce that behavior or put a stop to it? That's a serious dilemma.

True, but none of this changes that the author didn't answer their own opening question. If it was framed as "How can a company support great culture"?, then it would be a fantastic thread to read through for those curious. B

This might be a valid perspective today, but the first X-Box came out in 2001. How many middle-aged people in 2001 were playing console video games? Some, I'm sure, but it's probably a much more significant demographic in 2021 tha

This thread isn't really clarifying or defining what a "great" culture constitutes, and it strongly suffers from survivorship bias. The author is pointing out that a necessary ingredient (among others omitted) is strong cultu

True, but I think the sentiment isn't "make individual loans work like business investments" so much as it is "make business investments work like individual loans". In other words, if individuals are expected to pa

Different how? Different in practice or in tax law? The point of the thread is that the two are essentially the same in practice (investing current monetary influxes towards future revenues) but the tax law differences favor one over the ot

Of course not. The $155k tuition is the loss. The $150k loan is just a sudden influx of money used to compensate for the investment losses, the same as a company receiving investment funding.

This is not a fair portrayal. This is one way to go about it, and a way which avoids the problem while running up other costs. And there are better ways. Better ways such as keeping your phone in another room. Building the discipline to not

I think the parent comment's point is that Firefox is worth celebrating because they're making this (and other changes) with no ulterior motive other than championing user privacy. But with Chrome, the user privacy improvement is
