I appreciate the fact that IMB is trying to present a optimistic view of the future. Not all sci-fi needs to be negative or dystopian, and his remains plausible despite its optimism. I think if you’d rather read about the downfall of the Cu

1. Exercise good judgment about what projects are “away team-able”. Be okay saying “this needs to be done by our team” even when that’s hard. Otherwise you’ll end up with tricky features implemented by people who don’t understand the full c

How does that work when the thing you want to change is a complex micro-service with a public API? Do you want to spin up your own version of that service and own it forever? Even if you’re okay with that, you’ll not have the clients the ol

There are more than two kinds of infinities. Consider the set of all subsets of the real numbers. Also the rationals are countable by diagonalization.

This should never happen on Prime Video. Major breach of customer trust. If it’s happened to you please call customer service and complain. If they can’t fix it or refund you, please get in touch with me and I will try and get it fixed for

I don’t follow. It’s exactly like C in this regard, except with Box::new instead of malloc.

I feel like this is easier if you’re a non-lever-puller. If you think it’s wrong to pull the lever if it causes anyone’s death who wasn’t dying anyway, then most of these are easy. Except the “you can’t see the track” one I suppose :P

I think (3b) isn’t true, since the sanctions are effecting every part of Russia’s economy. And while the petroleum industry is like 40% of their exports by revenue, the other 60% is obviously significant. Also from a Russian point of view,

Is it really sane to have a world of software that can’t survive new compiler or loader warnings? That just seems crazy to me

1. The parent comment is referring to waste in the environmental sense. Nature does not care how expensive the trash was--just the volume/composition 2. It's a big stretch to call AirPods "disposable" I (and many others)

How is removing 3rd party kernel modules a “pure political decision”. Do you really believe there are no technical/security factors behind this choice?

I think this comment implicitly assumes that just because people survive on less than 18, it’s livable That’s not necessarily true, since many people around or below the poverty line rely on government assistance to survive. Also, the feder

Bounds checking, dynamic dispatch is more expensive, wasm semantics have no undefined behavior to exploit for optimizations. And there is bloat in the process. I’m sure losing information effects things as well

The issue here is that YouTube (and other platforms) encourage this. It works, in that if you ask people to like comment and subscribe, they like comment and subscribe more. (And that boosts your standing within the system getting you more

I understand this comment was made before the edit. However, is it really that surprising that “build a wall” narratives and racism to hand in hand? (It’s not as if the border wall makes any logical sense, since the southern border is too l

I think this is fundamentally a regressive idea. Currently the very poor pay zero (or effectively zero) income taxes. No matter how you structure the sales tax, you cannot go below zero. (I think negative sales tax is not actually realistic

1) People are calling this an “insurrection” because it’s so directly an attack on country leadership. (Whereas the incidents you’re referencing are predominantly riots and attacks on the police.) There may be hypocrisy here, but I don’t th

I think that squashing commits sometimes make sense. Like is it worth retain two commits if the second one is just fixing the formatting, logs, or metrics from the first one? Also in open source I think it can be easier to keep track of the

I don’t think this take is quite right. In the early/late game, sure it can end up being memorization. But the game has so many states that the mid game tends to be quite complex and there is a lot of skill (calculation/tactics ec

Maybe I just misread this article but it really sounds like they don’t own YOLOv5. It’s someone else’s project they think is cool and are amplifying. If that’s right, then I think it’s reasonable to defer naming to whoever actually made the

I feel like hashed passwords are somewhere in between “completely okay to publish” and secret. With good crypto, it should be difficult to make a password hash useful even if it is public. (Although weak passwords can make this worse if sal

I love Google's products, and I put up with the fact that they harvest my data. But to have such terrible support for their services is absolutely ludicrous. I've seen too many stories of people losing their content, email address

If a company is failing, the existing management will need new jobs anyway. All the government is doing with the parents strategy, is ensuring less jobs are lost and less lives are impacted. It's not like the government really wanted t
