Yeah, Inventory is up which will hopefully lead to price drops. I've seen a few over the previous months but nothing that's extreme which does make it appear as simply stagnation.

I was just thinking about this last week. My wife has been looking at houses in the bay. Four years ago when we still lived there and we were looking, it seemed like there were very few options avai…

Yeah, it's two separate monorepos. There is actually some shared code between multiple monorepos. Code like IDL's and some C mapping code are shared, but they are referenced as vendor libr…

We actually did this. When I started at Uber ATG one of our devs made a submodule called `uber_monorepo` that was linked from the root of our git repo. In our repo's `.buckconfig` file we had ac…

At Uber, both of our iOS and Android teams are over 100 contributors each and we have a Monorepo for each app platform. I'm not on the ops team but being in a Monorepo here has been one of the b…

Visually, this application looks really nice, but where it falls down for me is in it's integration with macOS. My current Markdown editors all have iCloud sync as well as mobile applications so…

Uber (Founded March 2009[1]) created ride sharing in SF before Lyft (Founded: June 2012[2]). Uber just started with commercially licensed Black Car drivers and Lyft started with anyone with a car and…

Yeah this is the same thing I thought as well. It worked well for Twitter.

How much bandwidth would you need to show that type of video? I feel like my broadband network couldn't even handle that.

We had a co-worker that would mess with that stuff. He would change the text to say things like "Free cats inside" and "Insert clear paper." I took a bunch of pictures on my Treo6…

I had a CISSP for a few years and used to do security deploys and audits for highly secure systems. One part of our teams process was assessing risk. Based on my training, it looks like they _assume…

This is interesting because Iv'e had countless discussions with Bitcoin Maxamilsits who assume that all of Satoshi's coins are never moving and that he's gone forever.

I worked at Amazon on a team that built a mobile point of sale application. We had one supplier for our card reader that was this family owned company. It was a super tight night company — They even…

At war with whom? Media outlets, hackers, propaganda organizations?

Oh yeah, 6th street - 8th street on market is still the same. I actually walked back from the Mission one night and one of my co-workers was like "You walked me through a crack den." Most …

I lived in San Francisco from 2011 - 2016 then moved to Pittsburgh, PA for a job opportunity. This past August, I went back to SF for a team building activity and I was blown away by how many fewer h…

When he was going into the Boring companies tunneling evaluation trying to figure out weather current tunneling tech was power constrained or heat constrained. Also he mentioned the supersonic jet de…

This couldn't have come at a better time for me. I was listening to Kara Swishers interview with Elon Musk[1] and he touched on lots of physics related concepts related to all of his companies. …

Exploit the HN ranking algorithm[1]: (= gravity* 1.8 timebase* 120 front-threshold* 1 nourl-factor* .4 lightweight-factor* .17 gag-factor* .1) (def frontpage-rank (s (o scorefn reals…

Sorry, I said bearish and I meant bullish.

I'm extremely curious watching the progress of the Vision Fund. Softbank already announced a second 100B fund of which Saudi Arabia is contributing 45B, but we've been in an extremely beari…

I came here to say the same thing :). It's probably also easier to train using CreateML, but if you already know how to use TensorFlow then you don't really need to use CreateML.

This is so wild, I'm thinking back to 2005-2007 when people were doing everything possible to get on Facebook. Waiting for Facebook to open up to their school or network so they could sign up an…

Is Firestore a more reliable version of Firebase's real-time database?

I just build a service/website last weekend using App Engine and Firebase. After reading these comments and this blog post, I think I might migrate it over to AWS. I didn't realize that F…

This is an interesting podcast[1] describing the phenomena you're experiencing. At a high level, you're inclined to believe anyone that aligns with your views regardless of intelligence, lo…

I would love to meet you and introduce you to any manager I have in the future (because I"m sure Jira will be reintroduced in my professional career). What were you using Jira for? Are you an en…
