India also has extremely high interest rates. So there is a benefit in converting fixed upfront capital costs into rolling operational costs. In most developed countries consumers can convert those upfront costs easily…
Uber/Lyft drivers don't badmouth it. Would you if some random person, who for all you know could be an Uber/Lyft employee, and even if not, is someone who uses Uber/Lyft and therefore is likely happy with it, asks you a…
What? He's obviously talking about the person in different contexts. The person is a friend to them, but they are also a someone, and for Apple they are a customer.
:term is new with Vim 8 I believe. The Vim author was against adding :term but their hand was forced by the success of neovim from what I understand.
If the article is worthless the issue isn't with the author who has written it and posted it. The issue is with HNers who have promoted it and highlighted it.
Couldn't that also be because Firefox has a higher percentage of expert users than Chrome, which has pretty much become the default browser, would.
Hash maps also don't (usually) have external effects. There arent many hash map methods that will actually modify the data. Standard OOP, on the other hand, seems to encourage such behavior. So, for example, a Company…
Eventually data has to be bound to code. Otherwise you'd have apps where you either have functional code running and other apps that are displays of raw data. The engineering question is what layer is it appropriate to…
Assuming the reporter is internal, you don't need them to go ahead and type out everything. A quick call with a screen share is all that's needed. Not even reaching out (again, assuming they are internal...if they are…
Well, before this year there wasn't a global pandemic. That's really meaningless. This wouldnt be an issue if it had happened last year, or the year before, or the year before...1918. The point is that any functional…
Almost every major tech company has massive campuses in India. So, almost every one of them? These don't replace their US operations, but add to them and grow them in ways they couldnt in the US itself.
People earning 80k in India, China, and heck even Europe, for that matter, almost certainly have a much higher standard of living than people earning that much in the US. And you can find far more 80k level developers…
This is pretty much completely anecdotal, and not very useful, to be honest. The informal stuff doesn't work well. I'm guessing they went to buy their furniture off the informal buses during off peak hours. So they…
Free does not mean devoid of consequence in the private domain. Otherwise, if I am ever rejected by a company in an interview it would be a clear violation of my free speech rights. It wasn't violent. And I shouldnt be…
In all likelihood, insufficient coaching and rehearsal is why it feels coached and rehearsed. A perfect presentation, which has been extremely well practiced and rehearsed, comes off as natural. Because they havent…
There's also apps you just want for the integration they may provide (for example, a keyboard app) but don't want to install the entire app. I have the Pocket app installed on my iPhone, because I want to be able to…
Servers... A lot of people developing apps that run on Linux servers use Macs, and have had MS targeting them for a couple of years as well.
But how would they ever have the most content? There isn't a single restaurant that is not being paid millions by Uber that is specific to Uber. Nearly every cab driver will also drive for Lyft, Via, etc. Additionally,…
My primary question, as always with Uber, is with ridiculously easy switching costs, and almost no lock-in, why will Uber be the one that benefits when the profit making $EPOCH happens? Why wouldnt another well…
So you dont need a lockdown. You simply need mosquito nets. So when you have a cheap solution that works, why would you want to do something expensive that does not even work any better than the cheap solution? Other…
It's not entirely clear to me, but did Google delete the file from the user's personal, private drive, or did they delete public access to the file? Because the former is unacceptable, but the latter is not as big a…
This is a good point. It's really hard for me to use non i3wm supporting OSes now, even though I have to use Windows from work, and have used Macs for the better part of the last 2 decades personally and in college.
I suspect if WFH becomes the norm, then people will flock to big cities even more, because suddenly you live in a massive suburban house but can go days without ever seeing a new face. At least when you had a central…
Once you're working remote why pay someone 80k a year to live in the Midwest. Why not pay them 40k a year to live in India instead?
It's kind of funny to see the disdain for VS based deployment here, while all the current rage right now is declarative deployment systems. Something VS based development, build and deployment based workflows have been…
