Actually the evidence is not damning at all. The evidence is a combination of two things: Tristan insinuating they did (note, not claiming but suggesting or implying), and their own statement saying "While unlikely, we cannot rule out

If you are building the same binary for all microservices you lose the dependency-reduction benefit microservices provide, since your build will still break because of some completely unrelated team's code.

Because it's your own? And previously that creativity of yours was hamstrung by your lack of ability in another domain (drawing), that the AI can help you with.

Doesn't Tesla let you order a car online? Does it need people to physically visit a store and spend an hour doing paperwork?

I think it's fine. For things that aren't too expensive where I am fortunate enough to not have to be price-sensitive, I don't bother with coupons beyond a cursory Google search. But not everyone is equally fortunate, and for

No, it's utility that turned computing from a niche activity to what it's now. Apple is a fashion statement and it's okay for them to market to that effect, but don't credit the growth of computing to Apple's aesthe

Doesn't it cost a lot in legal fee to the troll too? How are they able to finance it given that they are basically a sham company?

To be frank I think Apple should be able to provide a superior experience on the stack they directly control, but given that Google has been raked through the coals for much less, it's only fair to be consistent.

Only about 7500 or so Green Cards are issued every year to Indians in each employment based category (capped due to the per-country cap that's applied to India, China, Mexico) in each of the few employment based categories. The number

3 eggs have nearly 5gms of saturated fat. For most people their total sat fat intake should be within 20gms everyday. And most people don't have just boiled eggs, there is plenty of butter involved.

I wasn't implying high trigs. I don't think anyone today associates eggs with high trigs. However eggs are high in a) Sat Fat b) Cholesterol. Sat Fats cause increased LDL, and while dietary Cholesterol for many folks doesn't

I'd keep an eye on your lipids if you are consuming 3 eggs every day for months on end. If all turns out great, perfect.

Yeah, things like these make me glad that humans don't live forever. By the time you are 30 you already hate the way so many things work around you. If you argue about it you are called a philistine luddite who can't stomach chang

I feel Apple is one of the few companies that has the market power to say, Fuck you, we will just not sell or offer any services in your market, and I suspect that would be enough for voters to knock some sense into their government.

Exactly, and it's such a high success rate! This is precisely why it enrages me when all HN discussion about Git devolves to the same stuff about how it's complex and this and that. A technical person who has general sense about b

I regularly conduct 2 hr long "Intro to the Git Data Model" courses at my workplace (1-2 times a year). I literally take them into the .git directory and unzip the files to show how everything is just plain text representation of

I think the big entities you should be directing your anger towards are the big media companies, not tech companies. When it comes to streaming, Media companies have the Tech companies balls in a vice grip.

I never said that teens are idiots. I said they are rebels. 20 years ago being a rebel meant having a GMail account instead of a hotmail or aol account. Today it means not having a GMail account.
