So simple! Some people dont want to fight or see the violence.

What you said is really out of touch.

shimylining··on Fundamentals of Incident Management
I agree with that, but all I am saying is being on call shouldn't stop you from having a drink or two and hanging out with friends. Life is boring otherwise being worried about this. :)
shimylining··on Fundamentals of Incident Management
Why not? I am not working just to work, I am working to enjoy my life with the people around me. I am also from Europe so it might be different views, but just because I am on call doesn't mean I'm going to stop living my life. Work doesn't define me as a person. :)
shimylining··on Nextdoor to become a publicly traded company
Pretty sure the guy who posted this anecdote is a troll. Joined 2 hours ago just to post that comment.

It's happened before on other threads on companies going public. Not sure why people are creating accounts just to hate on a company, not the first time I've seen that here.

Im confused by this comment? I am running Docker Desktop on Mac and have multiple containers running?
shimylining··on BlackRock CEO Reveals the Surprise ‘Real Impact’ of Bitcoin on the U.S. Dollar
This is some clickbait, all he said was "digital currently" can have real impact, not bitcoin is here to stay and will have impact. Are HN readers even reading the articles anymore?

Forbes has also gone downhill.

shimylining··on How Nextdoor courts police and public officials
I don't see where they sell that?

Also tbh I for this type of site I prefer real valid people than anonymous people. People being anonymous generates more noise than anything, take 4chan or reddit for example.

shimylining··on How Nextdoor courts police and public officials
I think it all depends on which location you are in. My location has been great especially during this time and people are offering help and also giving away food for the less abled.Also the other day there was something that sounded like gunshots, police were called and I found out it was nothing bad on nextdoor first than my local news site or twitter.

What has been your primary cloud gaming service? I've been wanting to give it a go during this WFH period.
shimylining··on Facebook PHP Source Code from August 2007
Because most of the time you don't get hired at FB for a specific team, you might end up working on PHP sure, but the interview process for SWE is general and they test you on algorithms regardless.
shimylining··on Facebook PHP Source Code from August 2007
Amazing that they initially wrote this code and now to join FB you need to answer questions based on backtracking and dynamic programming. :) I wonder if they could do the questions themselves back then.

Do you mind sharing your iphone app or website?
shimylining··on Amazon Says It Has Over 10k Employees Working on Alexa, Echo
Won't this be the same with any IoT service? You walk past peoples houses who have Ring, it's recording you.
shimylining··on Amazon Says It Has Over 10k Employees Working on Alexa, Echo
I have been using Alexa for years. I've been controlling my TV and I have WiFi smart plugs. It is super useful and it has never had issues understanding what I was saying.

I have noticed people who have issues they place the device next to a sound source such as a TV or fan or something and obviously this will mess it up.

I also don't understand why so much hate for Alexa. Everyone in this thread just seems like a Debbie downer, shi*ing on everything all the time.
