Y'know, that's a good question. I'm not sure I know the answer. My guess is it's largely for historical reasons. At the time most venues were organized PDF was probably the best (or only) mechanism for sharing documents

Hi all, I’m one of the engineers at AI2 that helped make this happen. We’re excited about this for several reasons, which I’ll explain below. Most academic papers are currently inaccessible. This means, for instance, that researchers who ar

As if the housing situation in high-demand markets isn't already a problem. Yup, there's not enough housing for folks, so let's make it easier for people with the means to own more than one home. No Thanks. I also don't

Oops. Yes. Folks should rarely be held accountable for timeline slips. Thanks!

A lot of the ideas communicated resonate with me. The estimation process doesn't work well, and creates friction when things change that can interfere with the delivery of what's actually needed. BUT...how do you also maintain so

I really enjoyed writing Scala code. I'd agree with your evaluation with respect to the expressiveness and power provided by the language. ...but the tooling, at least at that time, was terrible. SBT was terribly overcomplicated, and f

This is pretty interesting. I spent the last year building an in-house, Kubernetes based PAAS that has a lot of similar functionality. What we don't do, however, is support multiple execution environments -- we're tightly coupled

> Am I wrong for presuming that the people who would most care about GitHub's public roadmap probably aren't even GitHub users? I think so. I'm a GitHub user and I like being able to view their roadmap. Think about it this

I love how well organized and executed this is. I love that the issues each share a common format and provide concise yet clear documentation. The concise bit here is key -- I've had trouble perusing similar, open product roadmaps from

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be harsh. By "knee-jerk" I didn't mean new, but meant that it lacked depth. Hopefully my elaboration clarified that I think the company is on the right track, just that they need to go a bit fur

Being new doesn't mean you can't try to do things. If the OP takes that perspective then they're just limiting their own potential. Code is code, and can be changed. There's this weird inhibition in our industry to just

I think you're referring to "gatekeeping." If the employee, for instance, proactively fixes a bug or resolves some technical debt, it's possible another team member might try to prevent it from being merged. Their reason

Gotcha. Makes sense. Good luck :). I'll stay dialed in and genuinely hope y'all knock it out of the park so I can reconnect with my colleagues!

This seems like good advice, but is presented poorly. You're meeting expectations, which is great, but don't stop there. You recognize that you (and your teammates) could be doing more, so make it happen. You're entirely capa

This feels like bit of a knee-jerk reaction to the sudden shift towards remote only work. Don't get me wrong, I like the premise as I've definitely felt disconnected from my team recently, but I don't think this quite solves
