<this comment doesn't really add anything, but thought I'd share anyways for whatever reason> I forgot the editor (maybe TextMate?) that was in vogue during the peak of the Ruby on Rails era, but there was such a…
This sentiment peaked in popularity in urban areas ~4 years ago. Since then I've noticed support for this position slowly eroding, and my hypothesis is that the general population has slowly had enough interactions with…
The "walking bikes" you mention are extremely common in the US as well, and are referred to as "balance bikes" here.
Is this why we finally got darkmode in gcal?
As someone who used SoftLayer shortly after it was acquired (and it was still pretty much untouched by IBM) - SoftLayer was pretty bad to begin with. And I'm not only comparing it to AWS. It was bad even when compared…
I left Amazon a few years back because this ending was the inevitable outcome. Amazon had a chance to reinvent themselves as the scrappy startup that they claim to want, but instead they went full IBM.

The environmental impact of producing a product that needs frequent replacement should not be ignored. Especially when it's proven to be avoidable.
I find Temporal itself to be effectively a clone of Amazon's Simple Workflow (SWF)
Can you elaborate more on the part where using Kafka as a work queue ends horribly? Genuinely interested!
With regard to Waymo, it seems it just hit a cyclist: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39296067
A lot of modern SUVs are actually pretty similar in specs to minivans: Mazda CX9: weight: 4,409lbs, 199″ L x 78″ W x 68″ H Honda Odyssey: 4,482lbs, 205″ L x 79″ W x 70″ H For us, it mostly boiled down to us needing to…
I'm not familiar with the term "people carrier", sorry. Is this like a minivan? If so, many minivans are ~similar in size, weight, and capacity to modern SUVs (not all SUVs are a Chevy Suburban :-)). For example, you…
Modern SUVs are mostly not on truck chassis anymore. The body-on-frame breed of SUV is growing increasingly rare. Modern SUVs are a lot closer to larger sedans (for example, a Mazda CX5 is not remotely close to a truck).
Dad with wife, two kids, and a dog here. We are a one car family, and we intend to stay that way due to pretty real parking constraints. We tried to hold out for as long as we could without an SUV. Ultimately, taking a…
This seems really unhealthy.
Wow. Awful
Previous Amazon engineer here. When considering a change, I was told by multiple layers of management that they would be totally fine with me moving away from the office and becoming permanently remote. But none of them…
Laughable
Counterpoint: I work at a major tech company and I feel like our interns have been more productive since covid 19. It's forced them to establish a more diverse network of people to ask help from. Maybe it's harder for…
As someone who did away team work at Amazon, and also hosted away teams: the model sucks in most ways and was unpleasant for everyone. It got the job done in extreme situations, but it was mostly a result of subpar…
This isn't exactly on topic, but is anyone else experiencing Rust fatigue?
Davinci Resolve is arguably a better program, and is already available for the iPad. It is largely the same program as the desktop version, with a few exclusions that are actually easy to enable with a little research.
The concept is promising, agreed. But like most (all?) recent IBM products, the failure point will be in the execution of the concept. IBM is a marketing company at this point, not a serious technology company.
