Why is skipping public review bad news for everyone? Public review is a blight on the democratic process. Instead of having a set of democratically established laws and regulations that apply fairly to everyone, a small handful of noisy peo

The other responses answer your direct question, but I was confused about similar flows when learning about SAML so I'll comment in case this is helpful. SAML is just an authentication protocol, it doesn't really handle user provi

This was my gut reaction when I first learned about graphql, but in practice when I used it it didn’t end up being an issue (although we didn’t have to run at particularly large scale). If your data models are pretty well structured, then b

Would you normally recommend running tekton in its own k8s cluster, or within the same cluster that runs production workloads? (Particularly if running in something like gke or eks)

The pavement and roads belong to cars . It's a joke to say anything else. If a scooter can get hit by a car and mess up the car, we've gotta do something about this nuissance! If a scooter takes up 2 sq ft of space on a curb in b

IIRC the latest revisions of sb50 in California would have rezoned the whole state to allow fourplexes (while still upcoming even higher to 5 stories along transit corridors). But it was blackholed for at least a year by the supreme chancel

Even if the cost premium wasn’t an issue, who has the geometry in their living room to be able to take advantage of an 8k resolution? Even 4K is hard to take advantage of in a living room setting, you need a huge tv with your seating set up

Biggest annoyance with the iMac though is you can’t, say, work from home with your work laptop and plug it into the screen. This is another case with macs where the situation 8 years ago was much better since they used to have target displa

On this topic I am always surprised to notice, walking around downtown SF on a weekday that literally every single parking space is taken up by a work truck, like a contractor, repair person, plumbers, etc. That’s pretty crazy when you stop

Yes but I’ve never seen someone new to programming that bothered trying to figure out pyenv or similar. Even a lot of moderately experienced devs don’t bother with it. I guess it’s hard to realize the benefits of keeping environments organi

It's honestly terrible for newbies. If they try to use it, there's no pip included. So then they easy_install all their libraries which installs things into different places than most python devs will be used to. Or they easy_inst

I've been using iPhone and MacOS for years and successfully picking & choosing different parts of the ecosystem. Sure, the defaults are usually set up to opt you into their own products so it takes a bit of fiddling but it's n

Is the CEO really the best person to ask about such in the weeds details of the codebase, like how the choice of web framework is working out? The CTO seems like a much better choice but even they might be too far removed, I’d rather hear f

Interesting. Yeah, obviously the vested value is what matters to people at the end of the day. In that case, maybe some kind of conversion view would be useful? Like splitting up: here is what you would expect an offer you receive today to

I guess I'm the only one that thinks USB-C is actually better? The biggest win is that now I can use a single dongle for power, displayport to my monitor, and connection to a USB hub. So if I take my laptop home or into a meeting room,

I find the site super helpful, so thanks for your work! Have you considered letting people also report refresher equity grants? It would be interesting to see how they vary at different companies. Another thing I’ve noticed on other tech ca

I never understood this concept at all. Is this a metaphor somehow, or do you literally think everyone is secretly conspiring to make life more complicated for themselves and their team because of job security? What about the fact that ever

It’s sad that the idea of people being able to get by and live a comfortable life without the benefits from a full time job is so far outside the Overton window that it’s not even mentioned in these conversations. That seems like such an ob

This is a pretty condescending take, and doesn't really seem rooted in anything substantial. The core of your argument revolves around the inevitability of needing to drop down to raw sql for performance -- care to elaborate on that? I

I'm talking about literally day 1, not just like the first phase of the company. If a startup is exactly a single day (or single week) ahead of the competition such that the productivity on that day is make or break, that goes way beyo

Eh. Rails is fine, and lots of other things are fine too. Rails is amazing on day 1, even week 1 of a new project, vs piecing together your favorite separate smaller libraries into a web framework. That can be just what you need for a side

Just a badly written article. The way I interpreted it (just having followed along a bit on twitter, I don't know these people personally) this particular thing is not directly about real estate. It's about better uses of outdoor&

Again...it was a stunt. These were pro-housing folks but no one is suggesting directly turning parking into makeshift long term office space or housing. Human centric uses might include — protected bike lanes, trees so that the sidewalks fe

Can’t tell if you’re serious but this was a joke/stunt. The point being to show how poor of a use of space it is to have street parking lining every street in an expensive and crowded city.

I'm taxed on my actual income though, not something like the whole country's median income. But I can only deduct a crude approximation of the whole country's minimum necessary expenses. It definitely works against you both w

None of the “well actually” replies you’re getting has yet mentioned that carrying forward personal capital losses is capped at $3000 per year. How could anyone argue that is remotely the same as Amazon avoiding billions in taxes? There are

There are lots of other ways for people with limited money to lose it, and there always will be. Casinos, lottery tickets, credit card debt, frivolous purchases, etc. I can’t think of any reasonable argument why allowing a free-thinking adu
