I don't think anybody was suggesting to remove benches and replace them with stairs. The existence of stairs is not an attack on disabled people this time.

Right, but at least with the expensive machine, one is making a conscious decision to spend a certain, known amount.

It doesn't seem to. My current place is all in on AWS and we have about 6 "DevOps" people dedicated to dealing with it all. Last place we did pretty similar stuff with 3 data centers, all self hosted, self managed, mostly OSS

Batteries usually degrade. That's why people ask this question. We have all been carrying around phones with batteries that start to perform badly enough after a couple years that we end up buying a brand new phone. Not everybody wants

It's only 67% more. Practically the same price!

I have also never met a flat earther, or seen any discourse online that seems like such. I am not convinced that they exist in nearly the kinds of numbers that folks like to suggest.

I recently managed to get my hands on a non-smart TV and bought a roku stand alone device for it. Mostly because the interface is simple and has been the same for years. I prefer the moving fast and breaking things to stay away from our lim

I guess clear market winner depends on what one defines as market. Anecdotally though, I have been working with medium sized startups in NYC that are heavily API driven for the last several years, and I haven't seen graphQL in producti

I read mine also. The lender seemed way more surprised than I would have expected. Then the title person later was like, "Almost all of this is standardized stuff. It's not really like you can negotiate it at this point." Wha

Yeah but they break those laws for their own gain, not for you.

I was interviewing recently, and I asked everybody explicitly about remote. Any places that have wishy-washy answers or seemed enthusiastic to get software devs back into the office, I didn't continue with. I have no way to know if I i

I use a single git repo for all my personal project docs.

This is it. I actually took a small pay cut this year to work for a company that is guaranteed remote friendly. The peace of mind knowing that these guys already had remote engineers before the pandemic and a good workflow, and having a job

And just like the TV's, it will never be allowed to happen.

I don't understand why churches would say that, when they were the cornerstone of culture until a few tens of years ago.

by randomdude402 6y ago
Some things that count as churches may have sprung up to make such offers, but I am assuming most churches have been standing since before Covid, before Facebook, before Trump and Obama and Bush. If say 40% of people are attending these gat

I've seen some hard to understand opinions on the web over the years, but church as counterculture really takes the cake.

In my area, Target is far less crowded and has very short waits at checkout because they actually have people staffing the registers. Walmart will have one cashier at the special register line where they sell cigarettes, during the dinnerti

We do the same here in the states. Some folks pay for private schools so their kids don't have to be exposed to perceived riff raff, while others choose to live in more expensive neighborhoods where the only benefit is often that there

Not exactly eastern European, but the company I recently left has a group of devs in Dublin like this. Interestingly, I interviewed with a company last week that has almost the entirety of their dev teams in Dublin. Neither place has any ob

I ended up using diigo.com for a while, but I remember finding the android client pretty annoying to use and I kind of faded off it. Just logged in for the first time in like 5 years and all my stuff is still saved on there and I see they h

I have met enough devs that don't necessarily love to make everything Dockerized microservices on Kubernetes, just that if we don't learn this stuff we risk becoming unemployable.

Telegram sent out a message yesterday saying that they have gained 25 million users in the last 72 hours alone, pushing their total user count to 500 million. I suspect Signal took a somewhat smaller number of users from FB than this.

It's amazing... amazing to me the confused looks I get from people when they start telling me their venmo credentials or whatever and I just hand them a 20 dollar bill for my share of lunch. It's exhausting explaining to people th

I'm not so sure about that. a lot of neighborhoods are absolutely ecstatic that everybody is pumping doorbell camera data into the cloud. I see people practically begging one another on facebook to upload video about the mildest of com

Getting a motorcycle and riding around without a GPS in my face or earbuds has been amazing for getting away from screens and tech. I highly recommend it. An unexpected side effect is a new small group of friends who don't give a shit

Dropshipping as described in the linked article is bullshit. People are not likely to have long term success selling to Americans online if the customers have to wait some undetermined amount of weeks for the goods to come across the ocean.
