What makes you think everyone is mega rich there? VC firms have a lot of employees making normal salaries just like every other company.
Point 2 does not logically follow from point 1. That's the entire problem here. Between point 1 and 2 there must be quite a few other steps, causally linked, otherwise it's just a massive imaginary leap based on…
EY's arguments aren't really possible to engage with because they don't have much of a causal basis. Nobody who says AI is likely to kill us all can demonstrate a plausible sequence of events, with logical causality…
I suspect the initial negative take on the license change was correct, and this is the dying gasp of the company. It's just taking longer than expected to replace Docker Desktop. But I am seeing a lot of progress on…
Those courtyard-style apartments don't exist because of crime. They exist because it's nice to have a courtyard. Most apartments in the Bay Area have no outdoor space other than a balcony or a small piece of land on the…
> People want quality public infra, but don't want to pay taxes. Sounds like a losing battle to me. A lot of people don't really want quality public infra. If they can pay for their own needs themselves, in their gated…
Debt is a useful tool for people who can control themselves. Dave Ramsey caters to people who need unusually strict financial discipline to avoid getting in trouble. For everyone else, responsibly using debt is often…
> So I reach out to the manager and ask what is going on. This is a simple task, I said. Why does it take an entire quarter for your team to deliver? He doesn't have an answer. Your simple task, which you think would…
Netflix does not pay a license fee per viewer. They generally negotiate multi-year deals that are priced in advance at fixed rates. Whether one person or a million people watch a show, Netflix pays the same licensing…
Being first doesn’t matter. Docker became the industry standard and jails did not.
The only way to solve the problem is to build more housing, and the only way to do that is to change the zoning laws. A startup cannot do much about that. The only way to change the zoning laws is to convince the…
> If I was this “IT” person, I would explain to the individual that there was a critical vulnerability found which will not be patched and then print up a liability waver form for them to sign and date, stating that…
I haven't ever broken macOS doing stuff like that, and I've been doing it for years, with both Macports and Homebrew. I use the default prefix and make sure the Homebrew stuff is in my $PATH before the built-in stuff…
You get type safety in your API, you get autogenerated client code, and you get http2 out of the box. Personally I find the autogenerated client code to be the biggest upside. Anyone who wants to use your API, in any…
These things are not just details. Things like scope, mutability, and operator precedence are core language design decisions.
> It takes about 2 years to save up $100K on a typical Bay Area engineer's salary, if you're fiscally prudent. I'm not sure what you think an average salary is. If you think an average engineer can save $50k cash per…
The most frustrating thing for me, by far, is that Go won't let you import unused packages. When you are commenting stuff out to debug a program, or adding debug statements and removing them later, it constantly…
