They said there has been significant dissatisfaction, not every person who uses free software is dissatisfied.

That would require you to map the SQL to something else which would then map back to SQL or mongo or w/e. For example if you're trying to join data from multiple microservices you can't execute the join because most microservices setups are not going to allow joins. The joins would have to be mapped to service to service calls and at this point you're just rebuilding an orchestration layer which has already been solved by graphql.

Doesn't work that well when your databases are distributed and you're using microservices. You don't want to be doing join's across microservices and most setups wouldn't allow you to anyways. GraphQL provides that orchestration layer for you.

With the example of Firefox, you wouldn't use Firefox, you would use Gecko which is going to have much lower requirements. There are usually ports for embedded systems that have even less requirements as well (WPE for Webkit for example)

I guess the army war college is like grad school for military. I thought University of Phoenix was their grad school. The more you know.

None of these statements are what I'd expect from a company. A product is more than the engineering that goes into it, so good engineer or not, if they suck at the rest of it then it doesn't matter. Linus is an exception to the rule, not the rule and lol at comparing people to him.

Maybe stop making misogynistic jokes? Doesn't matter how old they are, not even sure why the age of the joke is relevant.

Lastly, telling people to pound sand has to be one of the worst business strategies I've heard of.

100% agree about this. One of our VP's keeps a running list of words that people start copying each other on at the company. The last one was "ephemeral"

I dunno if it is that ironic. Google basically sold people on the idea of their services because they were free whereas Bloomberg never claimed to be free. When was a Bloomberg subscription ever free?

Yeah I believe it will also work itself out. I also believe that inclusion and social acceptance are more important than fairness in sports (which let's be honest, it's already unfair due to some people using performance enhancing drugs and others not using them). History is not going to look back on us and say we were bad because we had a few decades of a very tiny minority of trans people having an advantage in competitive sports. We hear about things like this once or twice a year, I'm not really sure it warrants all the outrage it receives.

The technical interviews I enjoy the most are where I write a small piece of software beforehand and we discuss the code during the technical interview. It gives me a better idea on what to prepare for because most questions are going to be about your technical decisions and ways to improve the solution. The downside is that doing a project for every job is a lot of work.

I think part of the point of platforms like medium is that you don't have to pay for the costs in case your blog gets hugged a lot.

Aren't VP's supposed to satisfy that division of labor?

I feel like this line of thinking cannot be applied to all things people enjoy.

Not to mention they are just hoarding wealth instead of letting other people earn.

Can you give an example of where they are just selling open source packages without any infrastructure behind them? The selling point of aws is the infrastructure they provide.

Last commit was like 2 years ago...

It's no different than an iPhone

Are you doing like thoughtful and tailored cover letters for each position or spamming your resume at them? If I take my time with applications and talk about their product in the cover letter I tend to almost always get a response. When I shotgun blast my resume at people I get very little response.

Hi Boise person, been thinking of visiting your city for the first time because I hear so many great things about it (except for this mayor), when is the best time to visit?

Well that's because the government is the government. They also automatically filter out applications that don't contain certain keywords which results in people turning in several page resumes full of keywords.

add Muji

Kind of unrelated but MUJI has pretty nice clothing, it's minimalist, well priced, and good quality.

Kit houses have been around for the past 100 years at least, I'm willing to bet the ones from 100 years ago are better quality than the ones now.

What about formal requirements? The software field in the US is known for not caring a whole lot about people's educational backgrounds as long as they can do the job. Is Switzerland the same or are degrees hard requirements?

That mindset is definitely not exclusive to Europe, almost every country on the planet thinks managers and MBA's should be paid more than individual contributors. It's only a very recent trend in the US that it started to change.

The citation is that there is a wikipedia list of all the fatalities from self driving cars with only 6 entries on it, and most of them were due to human error still. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_self-driving_car_fatal...

If you have all the cars driving themselves they can function more like a swarm/grid of vehicles managed externally vs individual agents working against each other. This means you can have cars going like 80-100 mph but driving bumper to bumper.

Ha, I was wondering why I couldn't recreate and then I saw in their changelog they removed Guy Fieri from the source code. I bet that was a sad day. The end of flavortown.

I'd just buy some JNCO jeans and get a netbook

I think even if it is not that great it still beats DJI from a price point and technical specs perspective.
