Not sure if I read this the same way you did. At least, this didn't read at all to me as "talking shit," but rather sharing their professional opinion on the (un)likely success of the project. Keeping thoughts to…
Zero technical debt certainly is... ambitious. Sure, if we knew _what_ to build the first time around this would be possible. From my experience, the majority of technical debt is sourced from product requirement…
I think the difference here is that Penn and Teller are just as much historians of magic as they are magicians themselves. Accepting the honor is also accepting that the history is still relevant and worth celebrating.…
My rule with Cursor is that unless I know exactly what I want it to do, I have it stay out of my way. If I have a general idea, I may turn on auto-complete. I reserve the agent for things like tests, UX, and rote…
I played the second game, and your dictionary might need to be adjusted. Asse is certainly not a word. Pretty fun game you got here though. I would like a retry capability so I can try to find another (read: the real)…
It's rather telling that you group substance abuse together with rather common and generally benign human conditions such as anxiety and neuroticism, and I find that your rather heavy-handed generalizations of people's…
> Either way you are going to throw it all away once you have settled on what should be the final iteration anyhow. I think this needs to be highlighted, because while I completely agree, I think it's often implicit,…
My take is that maybe we shouldn't paint all of SV with the same brush. Not every SV company is Philip Morris.
One of the things that's often not considered with these kind of interfaces, is whether or not they're actually possible. For instance, arg3 might only be true if arg1 is also true. Or arg3 may not be false if both arg1…
> Is it bad for [...] people to have too much money or not? Yes, by definition. The question is, how much is too much money? And in what context? Put another way, in a given economy, how much do the wages between the…
I'm quite happy it didn't keep going, though not for lack of trying.
I'm excited about the title, but I have to say that my initial impression has left me frustrated. The main README on GitHub[1] smells of corporate-speak. So far I've learned that: - OrioleDB is a new storage engine for…
Also note that the prior large spikes were due in large part to multiple banks failing as well [1]. It's also notable in that this is the second largest bank to fail in the data I've been able to track since 2008 [2].…
It depends on the state of the market. During the banking crisis, 157 banks were closed in one year[1]. [1] https://www.fdic.gov/bank/historical/bank/
I would argue that this too is part of software development. You ought to have a robust process that can accommodate hotfixes while minimally impacting ongoing work. That fix requires you to get buy-in from all of the…

I've been using act[1] as a tool to develop/test actions locally, which has helped a lot for creating new actions and debugging existing ones without incurring additional build costs. There does appear to be some…
Github Actions supports heavy parallelization and fan-in/fan-out jobs just like CircleCI does, so I'm curious if there's some limitations that I haven't ran into yet. I'd go farther to say that their documentation is…
From a development perspective, Stripe is by far the fastest/easiest to integrate with, the most featureful, and has the best documentation. As I understand it, other payment providers will often require underwriting up…
I'm no expert here, but I wonder about the economics around the 13MW of heat that it outputs. There are certainly applications around the world where that could be hugely beneficial. Take Reykjavik[1] for example. How…
I don't think that this is always possible. For one, I've yet to meet anyone who can meaningfully predict: a. What features are going to be added over the course of your application b. What features are going to be…
I agree with this, mostly. I've worked at many a company where I've inherited the work of developers who built towards an expected view of the future. That expected future, of course, never quite lined up with the…
It is. The results section indicate that BCS performs better than Dr. Fill by a significant amount. I'm curious how well this performs on the New York Times Thursday puzzles, and specifically whether or not it can…
I agree with you here, that it is striking there isn't a single mention of what members might think. But I also wonder if it's relevant at all. To me, there's no real correlation between intelligence and being a good…
