Let them own index funds only. Individual stock holding is not an investment in the economic well-being of the country

Honestly you are the first person I’ve ever heard that prefers chromes tab system. Check out tree style tabs it’ll change your life. I hate chrome now solely due to it

Being the scale of Amazon has nothing to do with whether or not fault-tolerance is important to an application. In fact, amazon has far fewer real needs for fault-tolerance than many other businesses (its a retail site!).

You should use embedded mode if you do not require fault-tolerance and can miss updates. Otherwise, don't. Regardless of scale.

It depends - usually moving computation closer together is much more performant. You may be underutilizing your DB or spending a lot of roundtrips on networking and this is a good way to reclaim that. It does not prevent you from having services - it just reduces the #.

yeah this is where traits instead of hierarchies become useful - I should be able to implement the Hash interface for an object I do not own and then use that object + trait going forward for HashMap and HashSet.

Java doesnt make this very composable

It’s not an oof moment at all - this decrease in valuation is inline (actually less) than most of their peers in the same time frame.

The economy is very different from when they last raised.

I mean the british invented the word soccer to describe the sport. They also created the sport itself (in its modern iteration and rules).

But the upgrade....didnt go as planned? In what way was it a misrepresentation? It was certainly generic but definitely not exaggerated. Felt fine for an editorialized title

There is no crime wave. I’m an SF resident and lived in SOMA for much of Covid. This is mostly manufactured BS and does not justify surveillance by an irresponsible police force who can’t solve the crimes they see happen in front of their own faces

perhaps if you are driven and understand what you are supposed to be working on remote work is not a tall order. School, on the other hand, is not intrinsically as interesting as whatever career you chose. You don't get paid. You are younger (and thus may be less able to concentrate on boring tasks).

They are different. In some contexts more than others but still different. I love going into the office but pretending its magically more efficient is a bit silly. I like getting distracted at work but don't think it makes me more valuable to the company. I certainly don't write better code at work - if anything my home office allows me to shut out distractions more easily (a luxury not everyone has). This entire argument is silly - not allowing remote work is denying a large portion of a workforce. That workforce may or may not be better or worse but its certainly cheaper for the employer. Why deny yourself a large talent pool?

To be fair, you could just give them the question ahead of time. Email them 3 days before their interview with the question and say see you soon. That is much closer to actual conditions

look at companies like dataminr or plenty - they have taken over a billion dollars in funding afaik. That level of cash is pretty rare for successful companies from what I see. 100M is a lot too though - i don't disagree.

Stripe is actively moving away from Ruby to Java. All new services must be written in Java

This isn't really targeted for small devices - its very very applicable with large computers in datacenters (id argue those machines will benefit even more from this). Any time you wait on I/O you potentially park an entire thread when you could be multiplexing your threads. This is a net win for almost all users of threads (except perhaps 100% cpu intensive tasks)

iphone theft is still incredibly routine. The anti-theft features are not a sufficient deterrent
