...and that was also in Russia.

maybe your service isn't as reliable as you think it is ;)

It's not useful because it provides empty universally accepted statements (i.e. you don't have to actually have any managerial experience to come up with this list) with no examples of what each means in the context of a relationship with a direct report.

he was criticizing the idea of pull requests. You could spend a lot of time adding code and submit a pull request and the maintainer of the project gets to decide whether they want your code or not. If they don’t, then you just wasted all your time.

do you have powernap enabled? i had this issue with random reboots when plugging/unplugging displays and disabling powernap fixed it for me.

YES (but YMMV): https://www.arewewebyet.org/

I've been using this, but it seems to break any sites that use facebook login, so it's pretty annoying to have to disable the extension whenever I need to login to a site that only has facebook login.

I have no affection towards go or any language. They're just tools. You sounded elitist calling something magic and pointing out someone's age as part of your point. And your passive aggressiveness to my response is proof of it. I "genuinely" hope you're doing alright too.

Nothing about go is magical, and you probably solved the problem blindly.

Aws, gcp and azure are unlikely to delete your shit the moment your card expires?

Our kids have been all over the world and enjoy traveling. It’s a bit naive to think every child is the same. I question your judgment regarding other people’s parenting.

Not my first rodeo in Tokyo in an Airbnb dude, and I’m not conflating shit. I’ve had good experiences in Tokyo Airbnb as well as in Hong Kong and Taipei where space is just as limited. My frustration is with the host where we clearly asked up front before booking whether this would be a good place for my family. And the pics were definitely not representative of the actual space.

Airbnb is a shitty company. Last october we traveled to Seoul and couldn't find the location of the apartment we booked. Even the local taxi driver couldn't find it after circling the area for ~30 minutes. We called the host during the entire 30 minutes and didn't get through to them.

After about 1 hour of time, we decided to call it quits and go book a hotel because it was 10pm at night and our kids needed to sleep. We were just hoping for a refund with Airbnb. What's their policy? "it's up to the host to decide if they want to give a refund". What did the host say? "i have great reviews and i haven't heard of anyone not being able to find the place." What about the fact that you didn't answer your calls? WTF

Similar situation when we booked a place in Tokyo. We asked the host whether it would be okay since we have two young children who are known to be playful/wild/loud. He assured it was okay and assured us the place was big enough to handle all four of us. We arrive in tokyo and and the place is tiny. The bathroom is literally a 3x3 box with a shower right on top of the toilet. The entire room is taken up by 2 beds with no place to move around, let alone space for luggage and two kids. On top of that, the host's apartment is in a building where the walls are paper thin and the neighbors are super sensitive to noise. We did the hosts' neighbors a favor and went and got a hotel room. Refund from airbnb? Maybe a partial refund? NOPE.

Seriously, I'm never booking anything on airbnb again.

Or...if it was important enough to you that losing it hurts, then maybe pay attention to your emails and don't let things expire and pay your shit on time. And of course, a sane person would backup anything important.

I don't know of any good native postgres solutions, but you could try https://www.cockroachlabs.com/ which may or may not be a drop in replacement for postgres, depending on your use cases.

this seems to be using gotty [1] to run spacemacs and serve it up as a web app.

How does this compare to go-redis (https://github.com/go-redis/redis)?

If you're a vim user the touch bar mbp is pretty much a no-go. Most users just map capslock to escape and they're mostly okay, but if you're like me and like to map capslock to delete, then having to press escape on the touchbar just doesn't work. (i've tried to map some other key to escape, but haven't found anything that feels natural)

the only advantage i could see in creating a non-profit vs a for-profit, specifically in this case, is that you get the free publicity and goodwill of customers at the start. "i'm creating a wordpress competitor" doesn't sound nearly as good as "i'm creating a wordpress competitor that can never be taken away from you because we are a non-profit". If you create a crappy product, it doesn't matter in the long run, of course.

So you do want an IDE, just not all of it all of the time? Headline is pretty clickbait, sorry.

Do you really need computer vision to detect when someone is in a game? There are certain static elements on the screen in every game that you could probably just take a current screenshot and match against known images?

When you throw out statistical numbers as some sort of fact, then "citation needed" is absolutely meaningful in this context.

I think google itself follows that same path of promotion, ending in a fellow position after distinguished engineer? I wonder how many people at google have the fellow title.

Almost 100% positive upwork somehow magically unsuspends his account after seeing this thread. When will these companies ever learn that it’s not okay to misbehave and quietly “fix” things when publicity gets bad?

The cost of paying fines for non compliance would be more.

You meant to say “typical google or Facebook engineer”. There aren’t too many companies out here that can afford to pay you $200k base and give you 50k stock and bonuses.

This is easier:

  alias serve="python -m SimpleHTTPServer"

and is probably supported by every single *nix like system out there without installing anything.

$250m for about 5% of the company, reminds me of when microsoft got 5% of facebook in an investment. Somehow I don't think this will end as well for softbank as it did for microsoft.

a celebrity with very deep pockets.
