We had a sales pitch by a MS partner and they made it sound like provisioning/ migrating services to gov cloud was seamless. It makes sense there is overhead involved from compliance. Two years to pivot seems pretty crazy though.

Doesn't Azure have a separate cloud exclusively for the US goverment? If so why would they use the commercial one?

As part of the settlement with the US over the emissions scandal, Volkswagen agreed to invest in developing Electrify America. What they did was to subcontract with multiple vendors who could not agree on integrating their sloppy systems, s

Considering the hostile takeover of Twitter, the layoffs, lack of leadership and Elon pulling cables out of servers, the platform has been working exceptionally well, at least in my experience. Either it was built like a tank or some of the

"The right side version has extracted functions from an arguably worrisome implementation on the left" Not amount of linearity and abstractions, or silly comments, can make bad code readable. I see this stuff at work all the time.

Comments are meant to pass information to readers about rare cases that may not make much sense at first but have a reason to be. This is to avoid the introduction of bugs by tempting someone to refactor or "fix" your code. A prop

As a once H1B holder I can confirm this is actually a common practice not only a FAANGs but pretty much any large and medium size tech corporation in America. The visa is not the actual problem but the green card promise and process. It too

We already have very good therapies and drugs to successfully treat addiction. The problem is you need to force an addict to seek treatment and once in make sure in completes it, which can takes months and years. This is a monumental task f

This would only be possible if you are treated by professionals. An addict whose brain is soaked in nasty chemicals will never voluntarily seek treatment even if it was freely available, let alone come up with a plan by themselves to use ps

As member of an underrepresented group I would say stop over thinking about how you can help us. Just treat us equally, not worse not better. I personally cringe at people trying to make me feel "represented". I get it, you are tr

Expecting to pay as low as $80K for an on-site senior engineer at Anduril (author is a Co-founder) is not helping the cause to drive the brightest to pursuit good quests.

If the recall is more expensive than the possibility of mass lawsuits, then Tesla will leave the owners deal with the issue. To be fair, this is typical behavior of any automaker, not just Tesla. I myself had my ordeal with Honda over a poo
