One interesting data point (though I really don't care where this all leads):

18 of the 79 named engineers worked for Apple.

My sense is the spec was designed by a consortium and no one company owns it, but I would bet Apple did contribute lessons from lightning to it.

Just adding context in case people thought the populations were roughly equivalent. It has bearing in the validity of choosing something the majority of people would understand.

I'm not conding the spring/summer naming (personally I'd just leave it at january/june), but the bulk of the world's population lives in the northern hemisphere, and not by a little, by a lot.

> The search API call doesn't require anything more than Lat and Long: https://developer.foursquare.com/docs/api/venues/search

That Lat+Long, the implied time of the venue search call, and some type of disambiguation user id is all you'd need to start building a location history for someone.

The share of incomes from private businesses (especially luxury businesses) isn't flat and benefits mostly the executives and directors and shareholders.

They double and triple dip customers pretty hard today, I'd imagine margin lost on basic services like EC2 would shift to AWS specific services they can layer more costs on top of (i.e. RDS)

We just use google oauth which kicks you to okta. This lets us use the x/oauth/google packages from google itself.

My macbook pro is not much extra size / weight above an iPad, and my workflow (lightroom for canon, capture one for fuji) is hard to recreate on iOS anyway.

The uses for the iPad on shoots I totally get is if you're Mike Kelley and you need to check that flash fills could be composed into a final image for architecture stuff.

Or giant screens. The problem is density not resolution.

This is neat, and it's important to iterate on things we take for granted like what terminal emulator we use.

But a larger question, at what point do we focus on the novelty of the project, not that it was written in a specific language?

To get around JPEG block size limits.

Shocked he mentions Visual Studio Code but not Visual Studio itself.

The .net CLR has a lot of the features that he would want to enable the kind of interactive debugging (variable hovers, REPL) he talks about, and Visual Studio itself supports a lot of them.

Personally going from doing C# development in VS2k15 to doing golang development in VSCode feels like going back in time.

The dirty secret is that socioeconomic status and race are very related.

Well, and the way things trend it'll just be more expensive in the future, so just do it now.

Alpine isn't junk, but it is a layer in a lot of things that people use (ex. `golang:1-alpine`).

Docker just makes it super opaque when you have to rotate images.

there are a couple other things to throw into the mix, housing doesnt just appear if we will it, you have to make it cheaper to build in the first place, and have some type of land value tax to encourage density.

density is the answer though, demand will always be there and is harder to control

Can always go the `gofmt` route and provide something in the language tooling and take this choice somewhat out of the developer's hands.

> gofmt's choices are no one's favorite, but gofmt is everyone's favorite.

Have you ever used Kubernetes? The abstraction it focuses on is running container images; building them and getting them to a registry is a whole separate abstraction.

Some common helpers are nice though, not sure that constitutes a framework but it definitely saves time not having to rewrite response compression and logging.

C interop can introduce a lot of complexity in the build toolchain. It's nice to have native versions of libraries like this, vs. relying on compiling c/c++/rust versions.

If that was the prevailing opinion, and your goal was to limit tax revenue, you would need to get creative and Prop 13 is just that.

Some extra color on Prop 13; a more sinister view is that it was a time bomb designed to "starve the beast" and limit tax revenues in the future.

> Nearly half of all people who had healthy eyes before Lasik developed visual aberrations for the first time after the procedure, the trial found. Nearly one-third developed dry eyes, a complication that can cause serious discomfort, for the first time.

If that's actually the case across the full population of Lasik patients that's insane.

I haven't seen all of their balance sheet but I'd guess most of their overhead is in salary, not in hosting.

Github loses 66mm on 98mm in revenue. They're hurting pretty bad.

Finally, golang gets user accessible generics.

Kubernetes isn't supposed to be simple; it's supposed to be a box of tools that you pull from to represent literally any workload.

Once you know what tools to ignore, and build scripts around the ones you need, it's very powerful.

This line of thinking is like faulting the golang stdlib for having a lot of useful stuff in it.

Key detail; not as much as they would if you subscribed to cable.

Is this a joke? or was that intentional?
