Hypothetical: individual pricing based on how likely you are to pay more for an item, or how badly they think you need it. Sharing of data across domains could place you in a "bubble" where you see the same price no matter where

Lots of commenters here failing to recognize how much competition within consumer vertical plays here. For years AWS was the cloud, and the only viable option. At the same time that traditionally non-technical (or at least not tech-first)

Agree 100% in principle, but just want to PSA that 1-2mg of Xanax is a fairly hefty dose.

Urban legend. Not true at all. Nothing can kill a trip except time. Not even Xanax - it will just help you relax and kill the panic and anxiety. The caffeine part is particularly bad advice, as a stimulant is the last thing you want to in

I always wonder where the myth that older developers are "slower" comes from. Dunno about you folks, but I get better and faster every year. And, for me, that productivity metric is probably approaching parabolic. You learn enoug

It's a good idea, but if your product is a website, cookies and authentication in general are going to be a real challenge. Obviously you won't be able to share cookies between the site and the api. But you have the additional c

Glad to see this on here. Really, it's never too late to learn anything , but I can offer context here as I have been playing for 25+ years. I can say without a doubt that picking up a guitar is one of the best things I've ever

Which city? In NYC, a stand-alone townhouse in need of TLC with any outdoor space would probably start somewhere around $4-6 million (Manhattan). $2-3 Million in the outer boroughs (the ones that are up-and-coming, some of the gentrified

Practically, I know it should go further. I think about doing it all the time. But it sure sounds daunting to take a 30-50% pay cut to move to an area with (significantly) fewer jobs.

I don't think anyone has any issue with having to physically use a marker on a whiteboard during an interview. What else would you use for a system design question? What is insane is expecting a candidate to be able to navigate a mill

Much of this is valid in spirit. But to me, is irrelevant with the advent of Node. Node does all the good things the author describes. It does some terrible things too, but generally does them much less terribly than PHP.
