I've worked for four or five TriNet-associated companies over the years - the "standard benefits" package you mention doesn't exist. It's very possible to go from "good benefits and cheap insurance" to "bad benefits via expensive insurance" - just by hopping from one company to another. It depends on what the company you're working for is willing to select and pay out for. Take your time when considering offers and ask about these things up front.

War and Peace. Tolstoy is just... dense.

The linked loom.com URL doesn't seem to work for me - something about the https not working currently. Is there another place you can stick the walkthrough video so we can access it?

[I have a more than passing interest in literacy and pedagogy - it'd be Real Nice to see what you're doing.]

Statistics.

How is this different than the Xen approach?

AT&T doesn't want to spend money they've already taken for broadband infrastructure upgrades.

I learned at a previous job that one of the biggest challenges in janitorial-services is the insane rate of turnover and difficulty in guaranteeing that a particular floor of a building has been serviced on a particular night...

Language is by its nature non-neutral.

This is one of my favorite books, and more people should be exposed to it.

I’m still not exactly sure of the relevance to the broader HN audience though.

Was there commentary intended?

Let’s talk about occupational hazards faced by people doing forensic investigations...

We can’t afford not to have lockdowns. The forcing function will become more and more evident...

I've done this before. It's really fun!

Joyent has had nowhere near hundreds of engineers, I'm sorry to say. Small tribe with amazing results.

Is there some legitimate reason that you don't understand, and can't communicate, PIA's pricing structure? I'm a customer of theirs, and you seem to have a huge axe to grind.

They overflow a different kind of stacks.

Thermite.

Grab the reins, not grab the reigns. Immediate grammatical turn off.

This will mark the moment when my kids no longer have late hours access to Netflix. No more movies at bedtime - the temptation to fire up a game will be just too great.

This would be so much cooler if it actually supported more than just a few, few, few bare keystrokes.

The Joyent/TextDrive situation was more difficult than most people dream of. [I worked at Joyent from early 2010 till 2014 or so... post merger, and on into several attempted revivals of TextDrive...]

Dean was much loved by his fans and seen as intractable and 'difficult' by others.

Still - one deserves to rest in peace and not be spoken ill of. Good bye, Dean, and thanks for what you did, and what the space you helped build, has done for several internet communities (textile, textpattern, early Rails, early javascript-on-the-server...) that will yet live on.

I came to ask just this question. :)

I will happily pay for more game content. I will not pay for loot boxes that are clearly set up to mine my pockets for spare change.

I think this is pretty awesome, but it might just be because I think the game Codenames is fantastic.

Amen and kudos for mentioning clinical depression as a thing that causes extreme irritability.

I know a few Bobs. They are hard to deal with. They get promoted. And eventually you might want to trade them out for a different Bob - which can mean just flat out leaving an organization. They aren't likely to go, so that means it's you.

It's probably a bit late to worry about graduate education being destroyed. 30 or 35 years ago might have been more helpful.

I find it most amusing that that link has my logged in username and a password hash as the last line, when i view it.

You say you want a rev-o-lu-tiooo-onn, well, ya know... we all want to change the world.... ;-)

He doesn't dare interfere with the media. This is a lot of bluster.

This is totally awesome technology, and it sounds like it is well designed and scalable. AWESOME.

I bet someone is still using Harvard Graphics.

Not even kidding. It gets the job done.

There is a required reference here to "Too Many Cooks". Thanks, Adult Swim!
