Travel somewhere. Explore. Get lost. Have fun.

This isn't Reddit.
comment
Yeah, exactly. It was I think the third that I found as I looked at 'new' and I got annoyed.
comment
It also happened before Musk purchased it. This subject has appeared three or four times in the last two days. It's too much. Can we please talk about interesting things?

If you're asking, here's what I would do. I would build the business case for the app. Sure, make a demo. Get feedback. Push it until it's clear there's a strong demand for the…

I think assembly isn't a great way to do that. If you are looking to set yourself apart to others in terms of applying to universities (I'm assuming) then I would focus on full-stack and mak…

Aha! Ok, I understand now.

Not if they quit

Or he wanted to hire his own team and now doesn't have to pay severance.

This is HN, not Reddit. Stop the low quality posts.

You're normal, the developer was being a jerk. And, second, who cares? Can we start talking about important things again?
comment
There certainly seems like an unhealthy obsession and irrational anger towards him. And why is there a new Twitter story every two minutes? It's driving me nuts. I feel like no one has anything…

It's not a problem at all. Until 16, school is mandatory. They will accept your child or children at the local public school at any point when you arrive. Do your children speak English? It ca…

You're right in some places, but it's more complex than that. Yes, the USD is backed by the "full faith and credit" of the US government but the Petrodollar's global reserve s…

I mean how does he know it's not "thousands of RPC calls" -- he spent six years and never got it to perform, so he doesn't know. "You're wrong!" ? Based on what? …
comment
I don't know if it's easy to explain but history is certainly filled with examples of monetary policy gone off the rails. The Nixon Shock in 1971 set off a chain of dominoes that can be seen…
comment
You could be right. But how do you know the consultants Musk hired are wrong? How does Eric know? Maybe there was a situation found where that did, in fact, happen. Certainly with a large number o…
comment
Thanks for the correction. You're right, and I can't tell you either, so I shouldn't really argue.
comment
Yes, but he went on to say that it is truly slow and that it needs more spend, which is another way of saying, "You're wrong! It's not that! ... but I have no idea what it is," wh…
comment
It doesn't matter if it's "thousands of RPC calls" or not. Eric's response is, "It's definitely not that! It's... well... we don't know... so just spend …
comment
He said it's "net spend" and that's another way of saying, "It's fine." It's the equivalent of admitting the engine is running hot, but saying, it's not a…
comment
Eric essentially said, "That's not why the engine is running hot, it just needs lots of oil." That's a stupid response.
comment
Performance has been bad forever. Twitter has had forever to fix it. They haven't. By definition, the existing developers aren't smart enough to do it. The developer here is trying to th…
comment
The developer, Eric, is in the wrong here. The product is especially bad. The new CEO is trying to reform it. Eric is saying "spend more," which is the refuge of bad architecture. That…
comment
Sure, and I'm a big proponent of labor. Musk is certainly not. That said, Twitter's architecture is a Rube Goldberg contraption and Musk is clearly on a warpath to fix it, so to come out pu…
comment
Twitter, from day one, has been poorly architected. Defending that is pretty stupid and then to do it publicly is, well, kind of asking for it.
