I also really enjoyed reading this; the mix of computer science & history was well balanced and kept my interest. It makes me think there should be a CompSci history class taught in college.
The amount of salt in photo #6 is too much salt. Its very easy to over-salt anything and ruin it. Better to under-salt until you gain enough experience with judging how much you actually need. As for putting the meat…
A 25% restocking fee seems like a better solution.

This is my top issue with open-source nginx. Nginx plus has the solution though with its `resolver` directive. https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/load-balancer/http-...
A year ago I had a coworker build a CRUD app with an API that required GET with a body. Something simple like: GET /api/query Host: example.org Content-Type: application/json { "a": "valueWith$pecialChars", "b":…
And [Brew](https://brew.sh)
My team had migrated about 35 codebases from a mix of Play, Scalatra, Ruby, and Python, to Akka HTTP. The unification definitely made it easier for juniors to start work on unfamiliar codebases, but the same could be…
I've had a similar phase and just switched back to Ubuntu a week ago after having used a number of different distros since 2011. As a software developer myself, I think there is a mix of two emotions that lead to this;…

Monolith, sure. Microservices, no.
I did this and still feel gross about it even though I don't regret the decision. Accepted an offer for a Java/Spring developer, but a week later I got a better offer for a Scala engineer at Apple that had swept me off…
It really boils down to trust. My manager trusts I will make up lost time after my doctor's appointment, as they generally know if I've been falling behind work or not. We also give daily standup status updates so its…
59 miles range? That's not going to cut it for most commuters in California.
I prefer the original quote as it doesn't imply any leader/manager stereotype. > "Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things." ~ Peter Drucker
If I remember right, GrubHub/Doordash will undercut restaurant prices to gain more customers for short-term, then later adjust prices back up once they establish a more stable audience.
When I worked at IBM I heard about this RA tactic before. To get rid of an unwanted employee a company might promote them frequently/repeatedly until they quit. What's the logic behind that? Why not fire them if their…
That's a great metaphor for OOP. What is the full quote or reference from? This is all I could find: https://interviews.slashdot.org/story/04/10/18/1153211/rob-p...
This basically outlines my current job. Huge system with many, constantly moving/upgrading parts and services across teams, all while utilizing dozens of internal services, tools, and navigating corporate policies. I’m…
I've used Linux at home for 2-3 years now. Most of my games library works fine or is tolerable with certain issues, e.g. Terraria I run in windowed mode 1080p, because full-screen mode is weirdly cropped where the mouse…
The awkward name is an immediate turnoff IMO. Just take a look at all the variations in this HN thread on the spelling of it. "Pop", "PopOS", "Pop OS"... I only counted two that used the full name "Pop!_OS".
Looks neat. One recommendation, before the section "Influenced by", could you put a code snippet of what Chaos would look like? It can be HelloWorld, but a more real-life example would be appreciated. (A few example…
This book looks great, and I can't wait to pick up a physical copy. Thank you lihaoyi!
