Every single post along these lines gets some comment about how it's acceptable/understandable because they've had such a massive influx of usage but I'm sorry at this point it's completely unacceptable for a servic

I'm unsure what SpaceX's weighting would be in QQQ but with Tesla being <3.54% weighting it would take both companies being 0s within a year to offset the cost in taxes from reweighting...

Candidly, while I understand the need for some amount of redundancy, I'm curious what this level of redundancy adds in terms of complexity to the system of a whole and whether or not that complexity-add almost outweighs the higher redu

To be fair, delineating between benevolent and malevolent pen-testing and cybersecurity purposes is practically impossible since the only difference is the user's intentions. I am entirely unsurprised (and would expect) that as models

Basically every single old bug report I've ever seen is essentially a red-herring that is usually not able to be reproduced anymore after N years and takes away time from focusing on newer and more solvable issues. I don't see the

While I fundamentally agree with the basis of compute getting cheaper by the year, I think a missed consideration here is the fact that these models are also requiring exponentially more compute with each iteration to train, in a way that a

Ditto. If anything, trying to add it into an existing codebase via JSDoc has only really been a detriment via being a massive time sink. It might have caught maybe 4-5 bugs in the code but none that presented a large enough issue to warrant

A company being unable to compete with another one on price will result in a drop in revenue, as consumers purchase the product with the cheaper price. Revenue going down is bad for a business. How exactly is any of what I've just stat

Not when the domestic companies which manufacture the same product wither as a result. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in defensive national economic policy as a blanket protection we should do to protect all industries, but i

Help is an interesting word choice for what is essentially undercutting our entire domestic automotive manufacturers and ensuring, on a pure cost front, that the majority of Americans purchase and rely on maintenance for a product produced

It may be a result of personal preference, but I struggle to see how talking through challenges encountered with a personal project are a poor indicator of competence. If you ask some boilerplate list of questions, sure, but few if any cand

I think the best test for a Junior is to ask them to submit some of their OSS or personal fun projects they've worked on. From my perspective, especially with Juniors who aren't expected to be extremely knowledgeable, displaying a

You're dead sure? I wouldn't say anything definite about technology advancements. People seem to underestimate the last 20% of the problem and only focus on the massive 80% improvements up to this point.

Never really understood any company of any size that pushes for this type of workload. Do you really produce high-quality work on hour 100 of the workweek versus hours 0-40? For every startup that succeeds with this type of 996 dystopian wo

Ran into the same issue when I purchased a .ml domain (naively not looking into why .ml is such a cheap TLD to buy good names for, it has a super high spam risk). Purchased a different .com domain and haven't had any issues since. I di

Fair point but I think the key point here is unnecessary complexity versus necessary complexity. Are zero-downtime deployments and load balancing unnecessary? Perhaps for a personal project, but for any company with a consistent userbase I&

In the same vein here. Every time I see one of these posts and the ensuing comments I always get a little bit of inverse imposter syndrome. All of these people saying "Unless you're at 10k users+ scale you don't need k8s&quo

The irony is palpable. Stating your position and then never providing any supporting proof is not a "valid and sound" argument.

You really need to learn about the burden of proof, since you'd (hopefully) be able to figure out that in this case, the burden of proof is on you to prove what you're saying is accurate. HN isn't a place for hand waving argu

While I mostly agree with your point of Apple being rather aggressive with forced upgrading, I don't think the device requirements for these features were based solely on the desire to push out people with older devices, but rather due

If a would-be founder doesn't want to start a company because of their salary, then it's probably for the better. An early-stage startup isn't a vehicle to funnel VC money into your account at the rate that multi-trillion dol

Wholeheartedly agreed. Moreover, one thing NIH syndrome handwavers miss is that developing a custom situation-specific solution allows you to expand your knowledge in that discipline, create a more tailored solution, and avoid supply chain

At least where I live (Texas, United States) from what I saw it's allowed to have legal counsel, although it may be uncommon. I'll have to look into the process more and see if there's anything I can pursue.

As much as I'd love to stick it to them, I haven't looked into it at all, assuming I'd have to pay more for legal counsel than the tickets were worth.
