Yesterday's affected me, I couldn't pull or push and when I tried to look at the repo to do PRs I got 500 errors. That only lasted maybe 30 minutes though.

Those cutscenes weren't rendered in real-time, instead taking longer than one second to render one second of video. This one is rendered in real-time. It's impressive for sure to render lifelike humans, but to do so in real-time is even more impressive.

You do realize that the top 1% is more than just the wealthiest 100 Americans, right? And you do realize that nobody's saying "reduce everybody else's taxes to zero", right?

Turns out you don't need to enter a legit email address. Just use [email protected] and you're through.

This is a bit false. It assumes that the cost of living is driven solely by housing. There have been numerous studies done that show that the total cost of living doesn't change much between city and suburbs. Housing costs are higher in the city, but they're largely balanced out by lower transportation costs and house upkeep costs (apartments are cheaper to heat/cool than houses, for example).

O() doesn't say anything about how long it'll take. O(n) may never return in your lifetime too.

American case law doesn't really hold for Canada.

I think Richard Feynman is a good counter-example to the "single function machines" hypothesis.

The biggest takeaway from this story is "The absence of a specific QA function may be hampering the company as well." QA is vital. A proper QA department sees the forest and the trees. Developers see the trees (or, in some cases, just the branches). Having proper QA means that John doesn't accidentally break something that Julie was working on, because they run regression tests. It's quite astonishing that QA isn't a separate team at Facebook for their iOS apps.
