At FAANG scale, you absolutely want to have a pass before deployment that does this or you're leaving money on the table.

FWIW, that would be illegal -- nontrivially so.

Could be even worse even quicker. The big box CEOs just told Trump that we're two weeks from empty store shelves for at least some things. Welcome to the USSR, don't forget to tithe to the Republican party on your way to the toile

1. The resignation is an important signal to other people that bad things are happening. Not everyone is paying attention; dramatic resignations are events that might help pierce the media veil. 2. At some point, if you can't stop it a

Book recommendation: in-depth on the people, processes, and technology. Incredible detail on all aspects. https://direct.mit.edu/books/monograph/4262/IBM-s-360-and-Ea...

I agree the concern here about Nvidia's long term viability seems overblown. WRT your edit: The answer to all of this is that it's very hard and requires a huge amount of investment to produce good vertical solutions in each of th

C++ fits that description much more solidly than Swift IMHO. Every large C++ program is a dialect unto itself.

Cold take: Objective-C was best appreciated by using Interface Builder back before iPhones, CoreAnimation, and autolayout. As Interface Builder became less useful and more painful, the dynamic nature of the language became a liability inste

A child can certainly tell the difference between the best of the best 2600 games and Super Mario Brothers. The latter is recognizably a modern game. Many 2600 games are completely unplayable unless you read the manual. “Never moved on” isn

What works one on one doesn’t actually work at scale. You cannot make MAGA feel better by “building the wall” or “balancing the budget” — they don’t actually care about those things, in aggregate. In the political sphere, they care — becaus

“Mostly correctly” is 100% false. Count the number of years under GOP presidents since 1980 vs the number under Democrats. SCOTUS has been dominated by Republican judges — and the chief justice has been a Republican — since the 1970’s.

Yeah, for reasons I still don’t understand — probably because it’s driven by Peter Thiel’s Deep Incel Thoughts — JD Vance and co. were big fans of Lina Khan’s FTC antitrust moves during the Biden administration.

Yes, but Guantanamo should have been closed (Obama promised to do this! he didn't do it!) and the people who masterminded it should have been thrown in jail. But, no, we had to "look forward" and not punish the war criminals

No due process for noncitizens means no due process for citizens either. We're all now at the mercy of ICE/CBP goons. If they have a bad day, simply being a straight white dude ain't gonna save anyone.

The classic 68k Mac binary model is pretty far from what LLVM and GCC support even if they still have backends capable of compiling to older 68k CPUs (I'm not sure if that's case). Executable code is stored in the resource fork; t

I feel like removing it removes some noise, but doesn't affect the tone. Story is, the MASH showrunners didn't want a laugh track, but the network insisted, so they used the lowest-fidelity one they could get away with.

It's still notable that Jim Davis has that level of chill about it. Someone with a mercenary capitalist attitude toward their work can be just as much a control freak as Bill Watterson. (Not being judgmental; Watterson's position

It doesn't have to be either/or. You can generate a rich format to mdoc. I'm not completely convinced markdown isn't sufficient, but it doesn't have to be markdown.

But the various man source formats aren't semantic markup of any particular use. Yeah, you can ensure that all of your arguments are typeset as italic or something, but it's not consistent because there are different source macro

Dictated, past tense. As a result of these tariffs. And that part's not coming back even if everything got magically reversed tomorrow. That level of trust is gone, forever. If capital doesn't get very mad and do something fix the

Two things can be true: - you shouldn't want that for your children - you shouldn't want that for their children In a geopolitical context, those are separate discussions. It's not really fair to accuse someone of promoting s

It's worse. GitHub is owned by Microsoft and exists as a community resource only as long as Microsoft's benevolence holds out.

I think the point is that IBM’s market is shrinking, and they can’t acquire new customers. They will eventually need to stop making mainframes because there will be a crossover between the cost for new mainframes for remaining customers vs

I think it's very unlikely to happen, in general. I'm just saying a large corporation will want to check every time because they cannot really afford to do otherwise.

Yes, although even for the more liberal licenses you actually still want legal review at a sufficiently large company to ensure that your engineering read of the license is accurate. What if someone changed the wording slightly in some way

No, this doesn't quite scan, because there's no reason they couldn't ship a current of `bash` or any number of other GPL3 things. Aurornis is probably closest to the mark: it is legally ambiguous, and Apple probably does not

You seem to be implying there’s some moral gray area on the issue of allowing disabled people to starve? Am I misreading what you’re saying?
