LLcolD··on Ask HN: Problems with LinkedIn Editing/Typing
Didn’t notice anything like this.
LLcolD··on HTML whitespace is broken (2024)
The issue probably comes from the fact that web browsers try to render HTML even if it’s not perfect. HTML isn’t super strict, so browsers will still display pages with small mistakes. There was a push to make HTML stricter with XHTML, which enforced rules like case-sensitive elements and closing tags, kind of like XML. But it didn’t really stick. Browsers had a hard time with those stricter rules, so HTML’s more relaxed approach stuck around. For some time I really tried to use XHTML when createing weh pages, but then I asked my self why all of the trouble when browsers don't follow the standards.
LLcolD··on Ask HN: How to handle pushback on a team switch?
I don't see what VP would get by forcing an IC to remain in a team that the IC doesn't want to be part of anymore.

If VP's signals about promotion were not backed by some form of agreement, I can't blame the IC for looking for another place under the sun.

I have issues when companies don't support vertical/horizontal movement among the teams. It is in human nature to develop different interests.

LLcolD··on Don't work with assholes
What is M&A that is referenced in article?
LLcolD··on Livestream of Reddit subreddits going private in protest
If subreddits that went dark come back in few days no-one will remember this. If they go dark for a long time that is another story.
LLcolD··on Elon Musk says Twitter is purging old accounts, freeing up desired usernames
I think that I saw somewhere that old tweets would be archived, or something like that.
LLcolD··on Ask HN: Do you still use browser bookmarks?
I don't use bookmarks. I rely on browser history which is probably a bad idea.
LLcolD··on Hyundai promises to keep buttons in cars
Is this due to car or iPhone option?
LLcolD··on Ask HN: Is being remote affecting your job search?
I was working remote before COVID. I'm not based in USA. Remote has given me opportunity to work with people that for sure would never come to my home country.
LLcolD··on Ask HN: Best document storage solution in 2023
Documents need to be indexed?
LLcolD··on Governments should compete for residents, not businesses
Maybe this is like a chicken and the egg problem? I see it in my country. Investors would like to come and build a factory, but there is no work force. So they go elsewhere.
LLcolD··on How we built a social network with No-Code
What do you call your product?
LLcolD··on Ask HN: What's more valuable: expert or broad knowledge in different areas?
It all depends. I consider my self to be generalist at the place where I'm at the moment. But if I were to switch companies at some other place I would be considered an expert.
LLcolD··on Ask HN: How to test website from different locations?
Great. Webtestpage reminds me of https://browsershots.org/ that is down for some time.
LLcolD··on Ask HN: How to test website from different locations?
I really like webpagetest.org. Thank you!
LLcolD··on In the largest-ever experiment, 33 companies adopted a 4-day workweek
For me the perfect setup would be about 25 hours of work per week. Something like 4 days, 6 hours each day. Or 6 days with 4 hours of work.
LLcolD··on Basecamp details 'obscene' $3.2M bill that caused it to quit the cloud
This could work if you have people that know how to operate your server. I guess that it is not the same if you have your own rack in some data center and AWS servers. What about routers, networking and all of the other things?
LLcolD··on Bullshit graph database performance benchmarks
He does "disclose" in related blog post [1]: "I don’t work for Neo4j anymore, why am I here defending them? Well… that and the fact that I still have a dinghy load of vested shares I have to sell so I can buy a place in the Villages and begin a new life as a golf cart driving day drinker."

This seems like a series of post on benchmarking results from different vendors so if he "disclosed" it once I don't think that there is need for another one.

LLcolD··on Bullshit graph database performance benchmarks
Yes, running a benchmark on your data is the only way. I've taken a look at both benchmarks (the one from OP and the one from Memgraph). They seem like different types of benchmarks and different approaches. But I still find it interesting that although the numbers in OP's are not so much in favor of Memgraph it turns out that Memgrpah is faster than Neo4j in large number of benchmark queries. So yes, it all comes down to type of benchmark and data that you use.

I've also noticed (from OPs tweet https://twitter.com/maxdemarzi/status/1613075177704677376) that he used Enterprise version of Neo4j, but it doesn't say which Memgrpah version was used. I don't have experience with this two databases, but usually ENT versions are somewhat better than community ones.

[EDIT]: I fixed few typos.

LLcolD··on Ask HN: What's your favorite illustration in computer science?
Wow. Didn't ever think that there is something like this. I've heard about UML, but I've always thought that it is something related only to programming.
LLcolD··on Ask HN: What's your favorite illustration in computer science?
Diagrams that show LDA, STA, cycles, etc. Like this one -> https://iitestudent.blogspot.com/2011/06/timing-diagram-for-...
LLcolD··on Ask HN: Developers, how do you deal with socials, blogging, etc
At company where I work we have few people that are working in developer relations team. One of them is in change of posting things to company profiles. There is no pressure on anyone to post/share/copy-paste tweeets, etc. If someone wants to do it - it is fine.
