Where do companies otherwise prioritize long-run development over short-term output? In my experience, generally nowhere. So why would this make managers push RTO more? Some who already want RTO may use this as an excuse, but I would think

In some areas and for some people, Medicaid probably does count as proper healthcare. But it certainly doesn't for other people / other places. Imagine there being one doctor within a multi-million person metro area who takes Medi

If I were making a single line code change, then Claude's "style" would take me enough time to edit away that it would make it slower than writing the change myself. I'm positing this is true also for the parent commente

This is interesting, and I'd say you're not the target audience. If you want the code Claude writes to be line-by-line what you think is most appropriate as a human, you're not going to get it. You have to be willing to accep

This has been true since it stopped being true for Internet Explorer. I've not noticed any significant change over time. I have been using Firefox for over 20 years.

I believe it's that the bus can only serve one chip at a time, so it has to actually be faster since sometimes one chip's data will have to wait for the data of another chip to finish first.

Corrupt Qeynos Guards -- Qeynos is SonyEQ spelled backwards. And, depending on your race / class, it didn't even take that much to make them hate you. Killing the corrupt guards, often one at a guard tower in the Plains of Karanas

This matches my memory. When I got my dad's old work computer with QuickBASIC on it, and I discovered the compiler, and could write programs other people could "just run", I felt like a real programmer for the first time.

Surprised not to see this mentioned in the article. Lots of places (including a former employer) have done tons of work to upgrade internal infrastructure to support HTTP/2 just so they could use gRPC. The performance difference from J

The reason this is an issue is that the sub value changes often enough that intergrations ignore it rather than bother users with having to re-OAuth. As far as what Google is doing in the bug bounty, that's a good question -- we don&#x

Yes, it adds an additional level of complexity to do role-based access control within k8s. In my experience, that access control is necessary for several reasons (mistakes due to inexperience, cowboys, compliance requirements, client securi

I understand that reaction, I feel it too. But what is the alternative? Sharing details of an assault? Note that in Tim's response at the bottom of the article, he says clearly he believes the board that the details can't be share

I see why you'd think a human-read one would be better, but in my experience that's not the case. It's not that easy to read out loud and actually sound good. I've spent a fair amount of time listening to free audiobooks

GIL removal doesn't mean "make all of this lockless" it means "replace the GIL with fine-grained locking". So those problems are still solved for Python code. The three issues are the amount of work it takes to do r

I think if you read this article you'll see (at least part of) the answer. Not only does a given action have to cause a definable result, the medium upon which the result is deposited has to provide enough detail to read the result bac
