Arzh··on Austin Is Building a Mini Silicon Valley
As a person who drives down 35 a lot, I've seen plenty of midnight traffic jams.
Arzh··on Yelp Fired Manager After He Didn't Take Calls, Check Email 24/7, Lawsuit Claims
Yeah but this is in America where those laws don't exist, though I wish they did
Arzh··on Yelp Fired Manager After He Didn't Take Calls, Check Email 24/7, Lawsuit Claims
Yeah I don't think it will get anywhere but that seems to be the only way they can see to fight since (I'm guessing) requiring someone to be on all call at all hours isn't illegal.
Arzh··on Vulnerability in Tesla Website Used to Find Details of 8500 Cars in US Inventory
Is an open api really a vulnerability?
Arzh··on Visa, Mastercard mull increasing fees for processing transactions: WSJ
Is the time for a transaction actually fast enough for it to be useful, I've not paid attention to it for a while.
Arzh··on Bikes put spanner in works of Dutch driverless car schemes
"But the varying sizes and agility of cyclists, with their sudden changes in speed and loose adherence to the rules of the road, present a major challenge to the existing technology"

The 'loose adherence of the rules' is a pretty good reason I think.

Arzh··on “Learn to Code”: The Meme Attacking Media
What exactly is the reason a miner can't learn to be a code? The reason they are teaching code is because it is looked as a skill with a lot of demand which is the whole point of the programs that teach in-demand skills. I honestly don't follow what "Coders on the other hand have been taken as a joke long before the twitter thing happened. look no further than Mr. Trump" means, can you rephrase it?
Arzh··on “Learn to Code”: The Meme Attacking Media
I don't think putting in that kind of thing in an article is"fine" but if it is in an article I would expect for you to show me where they are talking down on the workers, not just the job. I don't like coal mining so my desire to stop coal mining could be taken as "looking down" on coal mining but I DO NOT look down on the people who work in coal mines. I also don't see setting up or supporting the creation of programs that will teach these out of work coal miners a new profession as looking down on them either. I'm just trying to find why people are feeling like this because I can't find and hard evidence that they actually do talk down to these people.
Arzh··on “Learn to Code”: The Meme Attacking Media
When they were 'suggesting that miners should "learn to code"' was it in an article they wrote or was it a coordinated campaign to find people who were laid off of coal mining jobs and tweeting them "learn to code"?
Arzh··on “Learn to Code”: The Meme Attacking Media
Why exactly did you quote targeted? You are saying specifically that people are targeting these journalists, you just have no sympathy that they are being targeted.
Arzh··on “Learn to Code”: The Meme Attacking Media
I must be blind to these so do you have any solid examples where the people who are doing the jobs are being talked down to?
Arzh··on “Learn to Code”: The Meme Attacking Media
How is that not targeted harassment?
Arzh··on Hey Google When did I ask you to read my purchase details
I feel that is an appropriate response to a comment like "Don't use Google"
Arzh··on Hey Google When did I ask you to read my purchase details
I saw that today and though the same thing, looks like they are getting it from email but I do wish I could limit what I let google link to these kinda things.
Arzh··on MongoDB should not be part of a stable release
If you're using MongoDB nothing is stable /s
Arzh··on Why access and API tokens are the new passwords but worse
Why would I want the access tokens to be revoked if I change my password, unless I revoke the token it should be valid.
Arzh··on Why access and API tokens are the new passwords but worse
This might be one of the worst things I've read this week. Tokens shouldn't have anything to do with your login and giving out login is so much worse.
Arzh··on Africa by Toto to play on eternal loop 'down in Africa'
That might just be the "official" channel, older songs like that usually have way more off-brand videos too.
Arzh··on From relational DB to a single DynamoDB table
Yeah I'm with you, I've been reading up today about the GSIs in Dynamo but they really seem like a hack to get you a usable database, I need to come up with a good reason to use it at work, probably migrate some older databases so that we can multi-DC them.
Arzh··on From relational DB to a single DynamoDB table
This seems like they just want to remove joins with string concats (composite keys) and that doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Though all of this looks pretty slick it seems like it's all based on a shaky foundation.
Arzh··on Why REST Sucks
`We went from Procedural Programming, to Object Oriented Programming, to Functional Programming`

I mean, it's not really a progression; even inside of OO and Procedural there are a lot of differences and it's not like any of those are better than the other, they just allow you to write code that does the same thing in different ways.

Arzh··on Elon Musk Tells Tesla Willing to Buy Idle GM Plants
I have a feeling that he would like to buy the buildings but get rid of any of the unions that might be working there now. It's not great that all of the protections for employees are being thrown out and seen as too costly.
Arzh··on Amazon puts ads in people's baby registries
Don't mind the ads in the list, but they should make it a more obvious. The 'Sponsored' label is a little too small to make it feel ok
Arzh··on You can't impress developers. So don't try
Personally I don't like those post, and thus I might seem overly critical. The more they show up here the less I actually spend on the site since it doesn't have the stuff I am looking for.
Arzh··on You can't impress developers. So don't try
There is a pretty good subreddit for things that are done really well but, in the end, are really stupid. So there are places for this kinda stuff. A forum for just JS might actually get more out of the Python in JS project, but I come here for news on tech that I might actually use in my day to day job NOT for fun projects that have little use.
Arzh··on SEC Sues Musk and Seeks Ban for His Tweets on Go-Private Deal
I don't find impulsiveness to bar someone from being am effective CEO (though I might not invest in that company). I was looking for a more reasoned answer around if it would still be illegal to say what he did if he actually had the backing he was alluding to. The answer that jonknee gave shows that my question is not the case in this instance but it was a more hypothetical.
Arzh··on SEC Sues Musk and Seeks Ban for His Tweets on Go-Private Deal
What if it was true, what if he was working with a group to secure funding to take the company private? Would that make the claim that he was 'deceiving' the investors invalid? I don't really know anything about this kinda thing but I would think if he was just saying that he was working towards that goal but deiced not to do it wouldn't be 'deceiving.'
Arzh··on FanDuel not honoring bet that would have paid over $82,000 due to line error
Good reply, I'm wondering they they will try to tie it to how slot machines handle errors ("All errors void play") which just payback the bet but don't payout.
Arzh··on Go 2 Draft Designs
I think code generators are a better path than having the compiler generator the code for you. It's nice to look and see what is about to be built instead of waiting for it to be built then trying to debug with breakpoints.
Arzh··on 14-year-old boy uses legal quirk to run for Vermont governor
I personally don't like when people use legal quirks so he already lost my vote.
