Thank you! I’ve been wondering about this behavior in myself my entire life.

Is WhatsApp not on your list of mass adoption?

Spectacular question, thank you. I’ve had this concept rattling around in my head but not had the words. Cost of managing is really succinct.

Could you clarify what you mean by the expression “bell the cat”?

And omnivores who occasionally want something that tastes like meat without going backwards. For me, BM patties are spectacular at this.

I’ve seen huge improvement, from what felt like a lump of shredded beetroot and corn 18 months ago and made me swear off veggie patties, to being a patty that will permanently replace beef burgers in my diet (not a huge component anyway, ma

I’m surprised by this… they’re possibly 20% more expensive in the grocery store here in the UK, but not 3x. More like on the order of what you’d pay for a meat product that was particularly high quality.

I’ve been playing with Act but I find it’s slower to run locally on my M1 MacBook than it is to just push things up to github to run. Edit: also, why does it run things as root instead of with a use set up the same way as actions?

I used to be unable to focus in meetings, and I was dissatisfied with my notes being write only. Now I have the best of both worlds with iPad+pencil, and the diagrams I can sketch and modify or share later are excellent.

I had constant migraines until I started wearing blue light coated (plain glass, no prescription) glasses. Before that I was wearing dark glasses indoors on gloomy days. Certain lighting (especially fluorescents) and just about any screens

You’re describing an interest bearing loan. This is more like being able to withdraw money that you already earned, you just don’t have it because it’s not the 25th of the month yet. Floatpays in the latest YC batch is one of these.

Thank you! That is the first coherent explanation I've seen. Reviewing these in the light of agile software development in the form of scrum and kanban: I'm struck by how close your definition of Product Manager is to the idea of

The leader who has product and engineering reporting to them is a CTO. Someone who only does one of those things is not a CTO and shouldn’t have C-level decision making power.

So much snake oil. So many people have “shifted from product owner to product management“, but I’ve yet to meet anyone who can tell me the difference.
285.
by zingar 4y ago
The elephant in the room for me is that it’s only the existence of “product organizations” that create the problems described here. Product skills are a vital PART of a multi disciplinary team, but should not be separate or - heaven forbid

I started my career in Java and although I loved IntelliJ and was perplexed by how poor RubyMine seemed by comparison (circa 2012) that's not enough for me to go back from Ruby to Java. What I'm realising now is that Java has (had

JRuby is a really cool project! Unfortunately it's fairly far behind mainstream Ruby. They are still working on Ruby 2.7 compatibility, but Ruby 2.6 end-of-life is 2022/03/31 (tomorrow).

Sorbet and/or RBS seems like they may be the future given how popular typescript is with JS programmers these days. There are some other projects that assist programmers without relying on formal type definitions in the source or shado

Having visited Amsterdam, but mostly the tourist bits, I'm curious: where do reasonably paid tech professionals live in that city? Can you give me some examples of areas to look up?

Nice work! I’ve used a similar script for Ruby dev (actually I use it as a reference rather than just running it, but still useful): https://github.com/thoughtbot/laptop The oldest commits on this script are 11 years o

I'm not saying vim emulation has anything to do with refactoring, I'm saying that outside the jetbrains stable there are no refactoring tools worth speaking of, i.e. refactoring is not a variable in which IDEs in general beat vim.

Makes sense. From the sounds of things, we went in very different directions because I cannot tolerate mouse use in my workflow (severe RSI that got drastically better when I switched to vim). Switching to something that requires pointing t

Fair enough, I haven't seen a great learning path, every question that I asked at first ended in an answer with something in emacs that I didn't know about. What the hell are helm, avy, Ivy etc? I just want to find some files. I&#

by zingar 5y ago
Just so we don't compare apples and oranges: The refactoring tooling in jetbrains products is unique. I haven't seen vscode or any other ide capable of reproducing this, at least not for dynamic languages. I wouldn't use this

What are you getting from vscode that you didn't have in spacemacs?
296.
by zingar 5y ago
Evil emacs is pervasive, vim users that I pair with are able to use my keybindings. I just have a lot more plugin power at my disposal on top of that. Update: I guess your complaint is about a plugin ecosystem that doesn't respect vim

The incentives are not well aligned for nations to be open about what their labs are finding.

by zingar 5y ago
I think you get a lot just out of knowing modal editing. Sometimes I don't even realise what is emacs and what is vim because of evil keybindings.

I had a pretty full featured vim setup (creaking under the weight of all those plugins) and then switched to spacemacs. You're exactly right that debugging was a pain sometimes, but once I started to figure out what everything was, I w

How's the trackpad? You'll pry my MacBook from my cold dead hands unless you can give me a trackpad that is as good.
