Yeah, this type of thing makes me sad. It's a good idea and the work behind it is interesting, but there's something magic about a human voice. It deadens me a little bit reading this type of writing, which I'm seeing increas

I think you're being a bit harsh here. Yes, the blog is mostly about AI, and yes, he publishes very frequently. But his articles don't read like AI and he claims not to have used it in his writing ( https://www.seangoede

Ignoring the preference of people generally wanting to live in HCOL areas, this only works if every company hires equally from LCOL areas. One of the benefits of living in a HCOL area is access to the job market it provides. It's much

Do you mind sharing a little more about the plugin you use? A quick online search wasn't very helpful to me but I've also been hoping for something like this.

Well, the GP mentioned > if it’s a solo greenfield project which is a pretty large caveat. Anecdotally, I've found my side projects (which are solo greenfield projects, and don't need to be supported to the same standards as en

Adding to the review thread: I bought a Framework 13 in 2021. I'm sold on the ideal, I really like the chassis and the keyboard, and I _love_ the screen ratio. I replaced several parts and own every type of connector. I really liked my

I'm curious if this site actually uses AI in some form or if it's just the hot TLD at the moment. There's no mention of AI on the page itself.

Another assumption that bothers me here is that the $9M in revenue would be completely lost during an outage. I imagine many customers would simply wait until the outage was resolved before performing their intended transactions, meaning fa

The author sort of alludes to it at the end of the article when they mention that Gen-Xers' expectations are even more tempered than Boomers' expectations about what it takes to survive today. Is there another group/time peri

This seems pretty clickbaity to me. There's very little content and no specific personal experiences discussed. What types of companies did you have better luck with? How many employees does a "startup/medium-size company&quo

The article mentions all of that content (though without those links). Perhaps they changed it? It's a fastcompany domain now.

In addition to some of the other well-thought-out replies, much of the allure of streaming comes from live interaction, donations, chat, etc. Streaming to multiple platforms at once is more feasible for events like esports competitions, but

Well, that's a highly-opinionated statement :P The serious answer is that Go is a reasonably well-supported language at GitHub, and C# isn't at the moment.

I like that too, but it's worth noting that Github (not sure about lab) allows you to disable these features (wiki, issues, etc.) with a checkbox on the repo's settings page.

You need 500 “karma” IIRC in order to gain the privilege.

There’s an easy way to find out if that’s true, and it’s to making a similarly successful solo project by yourself!

Is this a response from the company or are you putting it forth as an example response for how to handle this incident better? It’s unclear from your post.

IIRC they don't actually run anyone's cards until the project meets the goal, so refunding isn't an issue. Perhaps someone who's funded a Kickstarter more recently than me could confirm.

The two As are usually for Apple and Amazon. I think the shorter version of the acronym is just incorrect.

How did you do this? Does your bank have APIs you can code against? Did you use other (Paypal?) APIs?

Definitely. It's not indicative of any sort of quality, which naturally makes it fun to game! I randomized the amount of commits on each day so my graph has varying shades of color!

I only run a small one for kicks: it updates my github page with a dummy commit each day. They got rid of streaks, but I still leave it running out of some misplaced sense of sentimentality. A few years ago, a friend and I built one that wo

You may not have read that far down, but the article mentions exactly what you did regarding Fossil: > Fitbit would not be the first deal that Google would be carrying out in the wearables space. Fossil Group Inc said in January it would

I hadn't heard about this. Do you have sources about the DOJ theft?

That's a common mistake. Ads don't always (and you could argue rarely) show their target demographic. Easy example: ever seen an overweight person in a fast food commercial?

“Better than the world’s worst” is not such a high bar to set.

I used to work for an airline as a software engineer (different from a company that makes airplanes, but you brought up airlines, so I think it's valid). We definitely attempted to write the best code as we could given the circumstance
