Why does that mean that the final price must the opaque during the moment of purchasing decision, though? If the goal is keeping people informed, one can show various breakdowns, piecharts or any other creative infographic at the canvas of

In San Francisco restaurants, I’ve seen this tactic applied liberally. Maybe AirBnb and DoorDash are rubbing off on them:) A common one sees the restaurant charge you separately for the employee health benefits, cynically marketing it to co

OMG, "The Screener" is something I've always wanted. There's a lot to love about this. Something I am nervous about is using a @hey.com email. Similarly to domain, it's a world-visible and sticky, but unlike domains

This reminds me a lot of python’s gevent. I often wish the language had adopted it instead of the C#-like await async, since it’s just more straightforward.

Although they are particularly picky at the moment, which makes sense given the situation. Anecdotally, I couldn't get an interview, even though I had an offer from them in the past.

The 24/7 support sounds promising. This has been their Achilles heel for many years. Anecdotally, I once checked into an Airbnb with a leaky roof. After spending a good 20 minutes trying to get to a human (a small eternity when you’re

I dig the fine-tuning tests! Did you end up using this as a way to estimate how "healthy" the agents are, or was this explored after the system was already working well?

My personal experience with Airbnb is that they simply don't know how to do support. Even basic issues take multiple days to resolve, and usually involve many phone calls. HotelTonight has been awesome there. You can get a representati

I'm based in SF, and I've taken over 200 rides with Ford GoBike (operated by the same company). It is awful. The bikes: big, heavy and ugly. Due to their sheer weight, peddling up the gentlest of hills will make you question your

Good read, and perfectly captures the things that frustrated me about the game. Looking forward to playing the updated version on the Switch!

I understand people who want more expressiveness in their reviewing, but the reality is that the 5-star system just leaves too much ambiguity. It's like how in Uber/Lyft, most people just default to 1/5 star ratings. In that

Reminds me of gitx (a good thing!) :) Is there a way to only view commits that belong in the current branch (like git log)? The commits from the other branches are distracting when you're trying to read the history of a particular bran

Our own experience with ECS has been similarly negative. While this was 6 months ago, I am not aware of significant improvement. In general, the whole thing feels rushed and duct taped together. Networking model (inherited from Docker) doe

VSCode is so good. I do wish it had a global symbol search, similar to Sublime's (cmd+shift+r). It's indispensable for code navigation.

tl;dr: It's literally a tutorial on configuring Alexa Voice Services + their sample code on Debian. The way you interact with it is by clicking on a button in a Java app. No trigger phrase like Echo.

What makes implementing qsort/bsearch/etc "the basics"? It seems rather arbitrary, and it mostly measures how well you are able to recite from CS books.

It's always been strange to me that tech interviews tend to check for basic CS, rather than deep engineering. When was the last time you had to implement bsearch() in a real project?

ES6 got this right too. This design decision makes me die a little every time I have to do: def foo(x=None): if not x: x = [] ...

This kills it for me too. I rely on pypy, and I just can't see myself sacrificing my productivity by using Six. Also, Python 3 neglected to fix one of the most annoying things about the language - default arg value def foo(x=[]):

there is a huge difference in what they can bring to the table in vendor vs p2p plays. p2p will presumingly work almost exactly like venmo, or more accurately, iMessage. Not only are they not bringing anything new to the table, they are als

I feel that they have missed that train. There are ubiquitous products (Venmo), and powerful competitors (Facebook Messenger Pay, or however they call it). If they want Apple Pay to gain traction, they need to make it more useful. My person

person-to-person doesn't seem like a win for SMB (yet). I would actually love to see Apple building a compelling SMB product. Pay your check at a restaurant with your phone, without even opening an app? drools
