I’m poking around while on an airplane, so the network speed is pretty slow. The site crawls to a stop with each character I type into the search box. As a performance booster, perhaps consider adding a short delay before firing off queries

They ask it where the next eclipse is, and where best to watch it. They got the date right, but the suggested locations of Timor and Australia are not in the eclipse path. https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/

The tl;dr of the entire article is “buy and hold low cost index funds” (see final two or three paragraphs).

Related to this quote, I don’t think we’re guaranteed access to better content. I think we’re guaranteed to more prolific cheap to produce content. Think Instagram era relative to Flickr era. Less about the art, more about fast fashion, or

You need to keep your head on a swivel walking around Hoboken. My son got hit in his stroller in a well marked crosswalk by someone improperly passing a car that had stopped for us; I couldn’t even see it coming. Luckily he was not injured

Directors and/or VPs of the various service organizations. It’s not a matter of it being a technical problem. It’s a business problem. The reported status has business consequences.

I figured as much, and just wondered about the challenges of trunk based development with a large contributor pool. If so many teams are working in different subtrees of the monorepo, it seems like trunk based development could be just fine

Well now you have to tell us why and how 600 people are sharing a repo! That’s a lot. Granted at Microsoft thousands of people worked in the same codebase. But in my recent experience we’ve generally been working on a repo per project, whic

It’s a train of people up Si with a slammed parking lot… I think that’s the point. It is difficult, but it is also highly pedestrian as far as trails go in WA. We are lucky to have such high standards here where even the most accessible and

Never mind the giant red bear dining at the table in the background. Edit: they’ve updated the headline photo. But it is still visible in the Internet archive link: https://archive.is/8vJ6m/b50770e322140d2616cad8e4f5ae3

Me too! Hard to justify using my regular brewing machine anymore. Aeropress just makes a higher quality cup. Quantity be damned, I’ll make multiple cups on the aeropress all day.

There’s no reason you cannot be both transparent about pay and still retain the power to define the terms of the relationship with your employer. I understand that it might feel “equitable” among a group of employees to be paid consistently

I don’t think no-negotiation is a selling point here for candidates. If anything, it’s a filter. People willing to accept less vs not.

Good video. And like all good criticisms of Facebook it leaves me wondering, “but what can I do?”

What an interesting idea. It's like an anti-advertisement. I can easily imagine how this could be replicated as a political campaign (and this does appear to be political -- why else end after Nov 3 election?). I wonder how the economi

If you are able to float free for 4-6 months, I encourage you to do it. It can be scary, but also liberating. Sometimes you need to grant yourself the freedom to realize that something isn’t right in your life, and it may take time to refle

Is an(other) alternative to Facebook the solution? Can we evolve beyond this? It seems to me like we all have what you’re building in our pocket already.

Layer Name and Layer Arn (the Layer Version Arn without a version suffix) are interchangeable in APIs that require a Layer Name parameter. I understand that you're trying to extract the "LayerName" field returned in the API r

Frankly, addiction and bad habits make it very difficult to sustain that when it’s easy to re-enable things. I have hardly any notifications, my phone is perpetually on silent with vibrate disabled (I often miss calls and texts), and I have
