Lack of 1password support on linux is the main thing keeping me on macos. Sounds like I might be switching back soon.

Thanks for putting so much effort into Redis! The software itself is awesome (I've been using it one way or another over the span of nearly a decade now), and in my opinion anyway you've handled the project and yourself in an exemplary way. You're the only programmer I can really say I think of as a personal hero. Best of luck in the future!

The company feels it can decide your quality of life for you, instead of your compensation. It's kind of unethical (imo) but not uncommon. I'm fortunate that my current remote employer does not engage in this sort of thing.

I am incredibly thankful for my wife, my job, my family, my privileged upbringing, my pets, the tech industry in general (even though I am contemptuous towards it at times) and most immediately a warm safe place to sleep.

I cannot imagine the feeling of pride you must have if you worked on the Voyager program in any capacity. The first interstellar spacecraft, over 40 years old, and someone's still writing FORTRAN or ASM for it. So cool.

Those famously stable cryptos sound perfect yeah.

I think you're missing what the parent is saying: since the majority are poor, they plainly don't rule (since then they wouldn't remain poor). If democracy is defined as "majority rule," and we plainly see that the majority in the US do NOT rule, then the US is not a democracy.

I thought I would hate this article, having years of delivering software with and without estimates, and preferring the latter. But it makes a compelling case!

A great article I read before every time I interview or change jobs.

> They're not interfering in an official congressional process in any capacity, because they're not part of an official congressional process.

This is the crux of it I'd say.

Absolutely my favorite (funny) thing about programming ever written.

Thanks for making iTerm2! I've used it daily for work (and hobby coding) for longer than I can remember now.

"Progress is merely a modern idea, which is to say, a false idea."

There's nothing poorly specified about Nietzsche's ideas, he just wrote deliberately in a way to be incomprehensible to people casually browsing his books, or looking for quotes to bandy about someplace like this. He deliberately says in a few places (effectively) "if you can't be bothered to read my entire works then you have no right to claim to understand my thought." It's a bit pretentious and a bit arrogant, but please don't confuse a New Yorker article wondering whether the overman is a "cyborg" with the consensus of serious Nietzsche scholars. He is not so unambiguous as English-speakers who've read 1 or 2 critical essays and skimmed half of one of his books would lead you to believe. (I've read all of his books multiple times, the big ones over a dozen times, and studied him for 5+ years in college).

There are lots of legitimate criticisms of Nietzsche. But saying "overman could be a very strong man, or cyborg??? lol we don't know" is a bad faith child's argument, imo. Overman (the man who continually self-overcomes) is a notable example of a very clearly articulated idea in Nietzsche's thought, and it has nothing to do with being stronger or more powerful than other people.

In English, the Kaufmann translations are excellent.

> However, as you start pushing beyond "scale" Go is designed for,

Go was designed at Google to be used internally at Google, so frankly it's hard to imagine commonly pushing past the "scale" Go was designed for.

> I'm a regular at a few places, and I treasure that status and the privilege that comes with it, and wouldn't go trying to fuck it up unless I was prepared to completely burn that bridge.

Same. In fact, I tend to think that the "cost" of being a regular includes specifically NOT complaining too much or throwing your weight around. The benefit is great and preferential service, oftentimes free stuff, and so on.

Then the old company would still have fired them.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, despite being a bit cynical this may well have been the pitch to the folks in Utah County.

The case is not so extreme in SLC. I've lived here about 4.5 years and while much of the state is overwhelmingly Mormon (I do not practice or sympathize with any religion), SLC is not so different from other similar-sized cities culturally. There's great food, arts, music, and so on. Obviously for a non-Mormon the outdoors access is the primary draw here in my opinion, but it's a nice place to live regardless.

It's also only one single bus route.

For what it's worth, living in Salt Lake City: this is one single bus route among dozens. It's nice that there won't be a cost for this route, but this could be expanded to all of our bus routes and still more would need to be done for local air quality.

> Part of being employed is simply compromising with the organization on these things.

Since my definition is different from my employers, you say I should adopt their definition, and call this "compromise"? That's an interesting way to use that word.

> You should be rewarded since your productivity on assigned tasks will theoretically be significantly higher than your coworkers who are prioritizing e-mail and being constantly interrupted.

Sure, but lots of things _should_ be that are not. The reality is that the appearance of productivity (for example, habitually timely replies to emails) will impact your promotion/compensation more than your actual worth in many, many organizations.

Their product is the advertising platform, so the price-raising should be evaluated there. Their consumer "products" eg newsfeed, mail, messenger, search etc are just mechanisms for demographic gathering for the purposes of advertisement sales, or for direct advertisement delivery.

> How about, if you want to watch TV, get TV. Leave the internet to information that doesn't have an alternative.

Thanks for this valuable and insightful contribution.

the first $1000 we saved for the down payment on our house

His website is pretty gear. The tagline "The Most Innovative Man in NASCAR History" has a nice ring to it. http://www.madmikehughes.com/

I agree, it seems exactly that simple.

I love this, thank you so much!
