I can corroborate this. My family was involved in a chemical manufacturing business in India from the 60s onwards. My understanding from what my family tells me is that the 80s and early 90s is when a lot of these base manufacturing inputs

I've had to use Google Sheets a lot recently, and it doesn't hold a candle to excel. There are a lot of basics missing esp. when it comes to charting. But I don't like excel much either. If working with spreadsheets was a big

Janky LSP support is easily Sublime's biggest weakness. Hope they fix it in ST5 if that ever happens

I also paid for ST3, but I switched to ST4 for the hardware accelerated rendering. I don't like their licensing policy anymore, so I just dismiss the purchase signs. I want to get my company to pay for it because paying 100 USD _again_

I was curious about how many inserts Postgres could handle so I made a synthetic benchmark to measure it.

Try BetterSnapTool. As others have mentioned, this feature is patended. `BetterSnapTool` is $3 is for a lifetime license and does what you'd expect coming from XFCE/windows etc.

I can only speak for myself, so to me this technique is kind of like how they did colour photographs in the 20th century [1] - taking multiple photographs from the same perspective with different filters. For that reason, I would argue that

It's possible that Xbox serves as a loss-leader for introducing/keeping people in the brand. For kids who may only have chromebooks at school, and macs at home, an Xbox may be the first time they make a Microsoft account. That acc

I would caution you by saying that no quote, paraphrase, or evidence of exactly what Timnit said. Since this is Google's side of the story its in their interest to use words that would imply she's overbearing, or otherwise unaccom

I'd argue that even as engineer 2, or VP of whatever, you're still replaceable. Outside whatever thin veil of prestige your job offers you, the larger world couldn't care less about what you do or what you make.

> recruiters are bottom-of-the-totem-pole, lowest-common-denominator, bottom-feeders Recruiters are just people just doing their jobs. It's a shame that you've labelled a diverse group of people so heavy-handedly.

Similar experience here. The only setups I can use for >1month are the Kinesis Advantage and MX Ergo, or the butterfly keyboard and trackpad. I've chocked it up to the super low travel keys and not having to put any force on the tra

Don't have much to add, but want to say thanks for sharing those blog posts, they were interesting reads. The slack CTO's comment about choosing RDBMS because 'familiarity' is interesting. IMO it's a gamble. I'

Could someone comment on why exactly this a poor design for their backend? Genuinely curious, I don't have any real world context on systems like this.

For this to be effective you'll need: - Global agreement and partnership, since you need to decrease temperature globally to make a dent - Convince everyone that injecting aersols into the atmosphere is the only alternative to catastro

You seem to imply that people are being persecuted en-mass for seeking material wealth. While there might be a vocal minority here (and elsewhere) that scoff at material wealth, its pretty clear that society at large still measures status b

I unfortunately work in a place where on-call is unpaid. I'm an SRE stuck in the 90s. The policy states that only the Operations team gets paid on-call, because I guess in the old days they would be the expected to deal with production

Want to jump in here - I have worked at a company where engineers are not on call for their code, and it was a living nightmare. _You_ might not be on call for your code, but _somebody_ will be. Often some poor SRE/ops person that has

This survey is incredibly suspect ... as the author themself states, there's an inherent bias for non-american brands. I find it surprising the FCA and GM cars are topping the list, while being notoriously unreliable in the car communi

Your conclusion strikes me as a bit defeatist. Managed systems might be 'better' for users now, but in the long term, they leave users with almost no agency, and that becomes a great opportunity for companies to abuse their positi

If the TLS client isn't a webbrowser, it doesn't have to use the list of trusted roots provided by the underlying system (be it OS or browser). Certificate Pinning is the solution you'd look to if you have a clients that cann
