Your comment reeks of being the sort of claim that you will pretend you never made if nothing changes, but you will hold up as evidence of your incredible knowledge of it isn't.
There's literally nothing of value in your comment (unsurprising, as nearly all of your comments are just you restarting your tired and dullheaded Libertarian beliefs).
You're upvoted solely because HN is a shithole that was long ago ruined by nontrepreneurs like you.
Climate change will affect hydrology on a mass scale, making huge swaths of land and infrastructure poorly suited to the future environment. It is a horrific mistake, and future generations will wonder how in the hell we were so stupid.
I've read a lot of stupid stuff about climate change, but never anything as stupid as somebody claiming that the only problem is waterfront real estate. Congratulations: you wrote the stupidest thing that anybody has ever said about climate change. Your mother should be proud.
Lyft taught me that many lyft drivers choose fairly terrible routes, and I'm better off using UberBlack.
AirBNB taught me that many AirBNB hosts, even those with good reviews, are dishonest about their locations, the details of the facilities that are available, and their own identities. But they use social pressure to avoid bad reviews. As such, I learned that I'm much happier using a traditional hotel.
No, you're not in bizarroland. You're just waking up to the reality that HN (and SV generally) is filled with horrible bigots and assholes.
To them, he beat a woman not a human. So who cares?
These same individuals are the ones who are more concerned with the fact that the gender of the board members was called out than any other aspect of the discussion. Because they're worried that their position of privilege might someday erode.
It's beyond arrogant to claim that consumers can't make rational decisions because a third party is just too darned persuasive.
Arbitration blows it. It's funny that you (somebody who claims to be a lawyer) is claiming that lawyers are just so evil that people can't act rationally.
The advantages you ascribe to monolithic repos aren't due to monolithic repos, they're due to comprehensive tests.
The multiple copies of a shared library argument is straight-up nonsense, because in the multiple repo scenario, there would be (one or more) repos of shared libraries. There wouldn't be copying. Unless the devs were morons.
Builds in multiple repo environments are clearly identifiable, it's just by a combination of SHAs instead of a single SHA. In practice, this is a non-issue.
Version clashes happen in every scenario. Unified repos create a horrific dependency hell, because it's impossible to have one service using version X of a lib while another service uses a version Y. Instead, if you want to update from X to Y, the entire codebase needs to get the update, no matter whether it needs it or not. It's a boondoggle.
These decisions, as near as I can tell, are not made because they're good or bad, they're essentially arbitrary, related to what the first few engineers did. If it starts as a giant ball of code, it will always be a giant ball of code. If it starts out well-organized, it might remain well-organized.
Nobody even mentioned your shitty religion and you're already preemptively defending it. Could you please, for once in your life, have a conversation that isn't about your religion of choice?
I mean, I get that true believers never like to stop preaching, but for christ's sake, you're worse than the goddamned Hari Krishna.
When my employer failed in 2002, I had no trouble getting another job offer. Unfortunately that company failed before my start date. As did the one after that.
I moved to NYC to get a semi-functional job market.
These days the possibility of highly correlated failure is a major component in my career decisions.
I firmly believe that you shouldn't author a book in something if you lack the appropriate expertise. If you do so, you risk disseminating misinformation at scale, causing enormous harm.
