jmoiron plays the blues

@jmoiron dear HN commenters: if you live in Phily, Austin, Bay Area, etc, your opinion on uber v. taxis in NYC has been noted and is irrelevant

@jmoiron @jkupferman but there are counter-examples where you avoid a clean-slate rebuild, the debt mounts til it's unsustainable, and all collapses

@jmoiron @jkupferman ofc the situations I describe were all "the city's been destroyed, lets rebuild" not "we need to fix this, lets destroy it"

@jmoiron @jkupferman it can work really well if you have resources/desire, non-prog examples include lisbon, london, chicago (notably not NOLA)

@jmoiron @PreetamJinka if you did a few things less you'd be ubuntu

@jmoiron @francesc cesc :)

@jmoiron @calebspare sticking up for NYC a little ;) But I'm not sure the details on that case myself, most material seems ideologically motivated.

@jmoiron @calebspare you mean like the @LastWeekTonight segment?

@jmoiron will jenkins 2 have a mode where it doesn't use java.io.IOException + huge stack trace for simple error reporting like "job is not enabled"

@jmoiron @SlackHQ a different color maybe? Or different filter settings. I want to prioritize notifs that are for me specifically over to groups.

@jmoiron .@SlackHQ feature request: I wish that here/channel notifications were different from nick/highlight ones.

@jmoiron @PreetamJinka i've used https://t.co/zjCZhbVagE and it works really well

@jmoiron If figuring out whether something is an array is non-trivial that's a strong sign it's time to abandon the whole enterprise.

@jmoiron @ionelmc that and how viral it all is; only one has to think "meh i'll find a package" and then https://t.co/rXtA2EqWxx has 2.5 million dls

@jmoiron left-pad exposes cultural problems with respect to dependencies and code reuse, the technology is just an enabler

@jmoiron @dgryski I like that; not a perfect solution of course, but a simple one that provides a tangible benefit. Could do the same w/ gddo

@jmoiron https://t.co/0f9GQzKiX5 is adequately explained by https://t.co/i9B2mdDcin

@jmoiron @bryanl @AntoineGrondin Friendships are complicated things; they're still worth having. Hers was an office fling, magnitude more dangerous

@jmoiron @bryanl I kept co-workers at arms length for a long time because I thought like this and I now think it was a mistake.

@jmoiron @davecheney @dgryski it's so obvious, the fact he isn't yet shows the actual moderators aren't paying enough attention

@jmoiron @amontalenti @PreetamJinka merge/sample is really just a batch op those make you pay for (in iops) on ingest

@jmoiron @amontalenti @PreetamJinka in what cases do you _not_ need stream+batch?

@jmoiron @PreetamJinka ofc that doesn't mean you couldn't build one on something else that outperforms what you've built on MySQL ;)

@jmoiron #golang FAQ: Q: "How do I do X in Go" A: "A for loop" Q: "Can't I use <something way more complex than a for loop>?" A: "Why?"
