"got in touch with the CEO, which isn't a viable path for everyone". that's an understatement. But glad you were able to get it resolved!

Assuming func() doesn’t have side effects, sure. But if the point was to gate func() to only run before deadline this doesn’t really help.

Better cars and bus lanes aside, I've never seen an Uber driver do anything besides follow whatever route Google Maps, Waze, or Apple Maps suggested. Most of the drivers don't even really know the streets of the city they are driving in.

My complaint would be the exact opposite of yours: taxi drivers often have a few tricks up their sleeve while Uber drivers will follow Google Maps straight into a traffic jam.

IMO your view of stress at FAANG vs elsewhere is off. Some of the least stressed engineers I know work for the big names.

I'm sure there are stressed engineers there as well, but I'd be surprised if it's actually a higher %.

I don't know much about Dwarf Fortress, but why is that a bug? It sounds like it follows reasonably well from the behavior in the game.

"quite powerful tools... such as... defining the inflation metric"

you're not wrong, but I definitely had a good laugh at this.

Pretty easy to win the game when you can change the rules whenever you please.

My 15" 2013 MBP runs Big Sur just fine... Sure, not quite 12 years, but still

If you use your home kitchen commercially, you'll still need to get health inspections, etc. Even camp kitchens at Burning Man (https://burningman.org/event/preparation/health-safety/permi...) get visits from health inspectors.

I worked for a company that ordered Sprig everyday for lunch for a few months. It was pretty good at first, but at the time they only had something like 5-10 meals, and pretty much everyone grew tired of it within a couple months.

I realize that's a different use-case than occasionally wanting a relatively healthy meal, but wanted to add my experience.

Not the OP, but I think his point was people aren't ending their lease and moving home til covid is over, because if they did, they wouldn't be able to get that low of rent again.

does codespaces work on the ipad now? last time I checked it said the browser wasn't supported.

There is definitely some truth in what you’re saying —- especially at startups without a strongly developed internal Scala culture.

I think it’s less of an issue at large companies like Twitter, Asana, Databricks, etc, which overall probably employ most working Scala programmers but not the most vocal.

Neither is cats in Scala.

Most Scala programmers are probably just maintaining Play apps or using Apache Spark, with no pure FP in sight. The pure FP contingent is just very active and vocal online.

I’ll just leave this here: https://www.snappr.co/startup-snapshot/lawn-love

why'd he delete this? Should we assume he was wrong?

Are you talking about using Target disk mode to boot your imac off the drive in a mac mini or MBP? because that will still use your imac's processor & ram, etc.

I don't have the answer to why they stopped supporting this, but I don't think it's because the resolution is too high for a single Thunderbolt connection. I have an LG 5k that works over a single thunderbolt3 connection -- and I believe even thew new Pro Display XDR connects with a single TB3 cable.

She objects to EV's because they keep working longer?

Scala's type aliases are pretty similar.

ketchup? ketchup is the generic term, no?

I'd say it's because it's just a feature to Apple that incentivizes owning Macs and iPhones. For Dropbox it's their whole business -- they can't afford to subsidize the cost.

Airpods Pro do. Along with noise cancelling that's the main improvement.

You mean wework? Was there someone at Uber as well?

Why quit when you can start your job search while continuing to work, then get laid off with severance?

I found this really insightful. The parallels are definitely there.

It's hard to put in less effort than swag t-shirts, jeans and flip-flops.

I don't feel the same as OP, but to say that people are putting in the same effort seems off.

There's plenty of people who live in SOMA, Bayview, Dogpatch or the mission commuting to SOMA and FiDi who barely have hills at all. I used a single speed bike for years when I lived in SF.

I'm not saying they're a great fit for everyone -- but there's definitely a market.

I could see this -- except Lyft and Uber are both getting in on the game, and people already have those apps, so if this is true, it's actually an argument against Bird, not for it.

peach pits are pretty big

I don't know about "working", but I was approached by someone like this at a bookstore in Cambridge, MA.
