"The main thing holding back wider adoption is a lack of system interfaces. File access, networking, etc. But it's just a matter of time before these features get integrated." Funny. The most obvious place for WASM is a web b

Just as a reminder for folks. This California based position falls under pay transparency laws -- "Effective January 1, 2023, California Senate Bill 1162 (SB 1162) requires employers to disclose pay scales on all position postings&quo

For the most part I agree with this, over engineered feature creep is really just horrible stuff. I never need a fridge with wifi and I absolutely swear that that anything more than auto-off is a waste in a coffee machine. But I think the

I've been doing this kind of thing for years with two notable differences: 1. I don't believe people actually hand type-in these values, so I'm not really concerned about the 'l' vs '1' issue. I do base

If you can be restored from simply doing a different task, then its not real burnout. As someone who has undergone real burnout from burning the candle at both ends for to long, I wish it was this simple. Its sometimes called a mental or ne

Its certainly not a solution looking for a problem. Its a great way to deal with a number of minor daily tasks. Checking the time, setting timers, checking the weather/AQI, playing music, checking news headlines, etc. Theres a lot of

Kudos to them for shipping a product. I looked into them a few weeks ago because I am tired of the "Did you know.." and "Can I add that to your cart?" from Alexa. When I saw the device I was really disappointed. I can j

The short answer is that you can't. The longer answer is that maintaining your current standard of living is not something you can do. You would need to make some sacrifices to get off the ground (roughly 18 months), even if you have a

The advantage B2 offers is lower pricing The advantage S3 offers is seamless integration with other AWS services IMHO, the ease of integration has significant value, it would take a very sizable S3 bill for me to consider not using S3

pstore has been a built-in with Ruby stdlib for as long as ruby has existed, so _over_ 20 years.

I don't know about your situation but I can say that sometimes its not even technical. For example we had one junior role where we got down to 3 great candidates (from 300 resumes). The deciding factor literally came down to taking t

Yes! I've done exactly the same and had the same results, its just not worth going through a long exchange of emails and then having to be rude and ghosting them in the end.

I don't think it really is better for your hiring reputation - if it were people would clearly know companies that gave great feedback, but honestly no one ever says "Oh I really like _company_, because they give great post interv

I don't this the job description is the complicated puzzle - its people that are the complex puzzle. Even with the most perfectly defined job description, you might have many candidates who "fit" that description, so you have

From the perspective of the company the negatives far outweigh the positives. - They reject many times more than they accept. - They've already decided and its done. They don't want to debate and discuss it with you. - It avoids

Honestly what you're saying is not fundamentally different from what a marketing person is thinking in your technical meeting. Basically its just stuff that you can decide to not care about. It has relatively small impact on your day

I have real experience in this. I wrote and published two "big" technical books which were released through a major technical publisher. Both books were "mass market" in that you could find them on any bookstore compute

IANAL, but at least according to ICANN rules you have nothing to worry about unless "your domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith". You can see the specific definition of "bad faith" and the rules

Curious as to why not simply use UUIDs instead? Its extremely easy to use uuids as the primary key; make the column a `uuid` type and the `uuid-ossp` extension will generate them. Your sql would look like: CREATE TABLE posts ( post_id
