This is getting ridiculous. One particularly concerning thing I’m seeing is that pull requests on both the web UI and API aren’t reflecting all commits or branch changes consistently. It would be very easy to merge something without realizi

I don’t fully agree. Yes, AI can be seen as a cheaper outsourcing option, but there’s also a plausible future where companies lean more on outsourced engineers who are good at wielding AI effectively, to replace domestic mid-level roles. I

I searched for the name of the company I'm talking with in my next meeting and it gave me a recipe for rice? Company name was unrelated to rice!

I was thinking the same - high-quality content from across the web is increasingly paywalled, while low-quality free content flourishes. Only being able to afford to subscribe to a small number of sources keeps you inside the same echo cham

Moved to the US from the UK over a decade ago, my US-based bank still has my SSN as 000-00-0000.

The problem with the US, and we're already seeing it play out with things like CCPA (California's GDPR-like privacy legislation), is that it is difficult to get momentum and bi-partisan support for sweeping changes in Congress. It

The age check is actually a legal requirement - the bigger challenge was actually getting the delivery person to consistently do it!

The main failure mode here I find is nuances in more specialized datasets. Elasticsearch is great, powerful and easy to work with once you get the hang of it, but is very open-ended with lots of room to build a sub-optimal solution. Fuzzy m

Fuck yeah, Ruby is the best fucking programming language out there! Its simplicity and ease of use make it perfect for lazy-ass developers who don't want to put in too much fucking effort, and its flexibility means it can be used for f

How will this affect applications like Plex that have functionality which allows sharing libraries? If I watch copyrighted content from someones Plex server, do I go to jail?

I used Turbolinks for the first time on a new Rails app about 2 years ago and was floored by the impact - it felt like a SPA in terms of no page loads and overall speed. I'm convinced that this is the solution for the majority of use-c

I don't know how much stock I'd put into SecureCode etc. Recently I discovered that American Express's SafeKey could easily bypassed on BestBuy.com by leaving the browser tab open for ~15 minutes. I assume it's up to the

Such a shame - Car2Go was so useful here in NYC, great for short local hops or if you ever had the need to go further afield and didn't want to deal with the subway. Plus the Smart Cars were great for city driving. Sure, all the cars s

Is this an actual problem? In all my experience I've seen cables fall apart (mainly USB Micro or HDMI) but beyond lint, never had any issues relating to the actual ports. The lightning contacts are flush with the port, so very unlikely

On the JavaScript side I've enjoyed reading the code for Backbone and Underscore, helped also by the awesome in-line documentation. Very easy to see what is going on. Also big fan of Sidekiq for similar reasons.

I’m on the fence after using it for about 4 months. Initially I was drawn to Notion due to the features, templates etc. - it made me feel like I was running a legit business, with sections for company vision, expense reports, meeting minute

Just been through something very similar recently - it’s tough, but if your needs are not being met then you need to have that conversation - be as straight as possible and try to plan for an orderly transition. Are you a founder or an empl
