GitHub solved the original "code collaboration" problem, and now it's a default easy way to outsource repo management. It also has the most integrations. A lot of companies grew up using GitHub. GitHub was, once upon a time,

Not a Java implementation, but the original game was written in Java. Later, Microsoft bought Minecraft and rewrote it (Bedrock edition) which runs on Xbox, tablets, etc. But, the community writes mods in Java. Now both exist and get roughl

Google was already fairly profitable when Gmail was started, and did a considerable amount of capacity planning. It was also invite-only for a loooong time.

There are, and often times they're stuck in a loop of presenting decks and status, writing proposals rather than doing this kind of research. That said, interpreting user feedback is a multi-role job. PMs, UX, and Eng should be doing s

This is often (though not always) blanket statement. Logs are always generated, and logs include some amount of data about the user, if only environmental. It's quite plausible that the spellchecker does not store your actual user

Do you have a source for that? I'm not denying it, just curious to read more.

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/7631 This is a long-standing issue with zvols which affects overall system stability, and has no real solution as of yet.

You'd think so, but for datacenter workloads it's absolutely common, especially if you're just scheduling a bunch of containers together. Computation also doesn't happen in a vacuum, unless you're doing some fairly

Except it's also trivial to buy or produce tables of pre-hashed emails, so this cloak of "oh we don't know who you are, it's a hash!" is usually just lipservice.

Android also reaps permissions that haven't been used recently. In the case of location, Android prompts for renewal even if it has been used recently.

There is no war in Ba Sing Se. Just saying it doesn't make it true. Twitter has a long way to go to regain advertiser confidence, and Blue is barely a footnote.

Software, movies, music is just a string of bits. Using something leaked always carries some inherent risk.

+1. And, it's in version control forever. It's not as if it entirely disappears. Like one of the sibling comments mentioned, I only rarely reject Sensenmann CLs. That's worth explaining: it's automated code deletion, but

I think you're being downvoted because you've claimed "That's a case of not solving the problem.", but I think that actually better describes this answer. It's clever, certainly, but misses the fact that the st

Computers are fast. I once worked on a service sitting at the top of a deep RPC stack. Stack traces were often folded into RPC error messages to help diagnostics. Well, if you have a failure at one layer, propagated to the next layer, and t

Or it would stunt their growth. Those sorts of tasks force you to poke around and learn, rather than having the answer handed to you by a LLM or senior engineer.

I generally agree with the author, and Google style guides generally discourages use of unsigned types (even in C++) for anything that isn't actually a bag of bits. I don't know how many strange issues I've tracked down that

I'm not sure I understand. This is talking about Cargo metadata download improvements. You still download individual packages regardless of receiving a copy of the entire registry, so privacy hasn't materially changed either way.

+1. It's not about the bytes of the book, which as noted are infinitely and trivially copyable. It's about licenses and ensuring money flows.

Have you ever had to chase down strange latency issues? Arguably, this behavior is the least surprising for Go's typical deployment environment.
