When I first started reading seminal works in Distributed Computing, I picked up the original (The Part-time Parliament) and it started off pretty well with the made up story of finding the algorithm as a manuscript from an archeological di

I for one, am absolutely fascinated with Tron Legacy. It was the first Tron movie I saw as a kid in middle school. In some ways, it's responsible for the trajectory of my career. Apart from the obvious reasons about the DP soundtrack a

Watching these bland presentations with choreographed delivery and reading off a prompt off-screen (I'm not completely sure they're doing this, but it looks like it) makes me appreciate Steve Jobs presentations from the past so mu

For anyone pining for innovation in Desktop, a small part of this culture is still alive in Ricing competitions. A recent favorite of mine is this one. Timestamp starts at the final submission being reviewed: https://youtu.be&#x

Thanks for whoever preserved these! The CartoonNetwork website was one of my most fondest memories from my childhood. These days the official website redirects to their YouTube channel which I feel is very sad. There used to be places for k

Valid point. We have minimum age requirements set on some rules to avoid absorbing every latest change instantly.

Oops, my bad. We keep calling it Renovator internally but the name is RenovateBot or Renovate. https://docs.renovatebot.com/

Who are their highly funded closed-source competitors they claim Warp cannot beat on price? Warp is the only closed source terminal product I know of. Most other popular terminal emulators are open source already. I feel like their funding

I feel pretty happy we use Renovator (EDIT: It's Renovate) at my current workplace which by default will raise PRs to change any tags for actions with the SHA instead. Then, even when it bumps the version in future PRs, it bumps the SH

Why does documentation require hosting it on a server? My assumption is that it's a static site, and as such, even GitHub Pages would be sufficient. I know... all content has to be served via a "server" but in case of OVH it&

I decided to get back into reading two years ago and I picked this as one of the first ones to get started with, given it was a small book. I absolutely love Arthur C. Clarke's style of helping you visualize the grand scenes. His book

I seriously believe that it's not that GitHub is run on AI-generated code that's responsible for these slew of outages recently. I think it's crumbling under the load of a significantly large amount of AI-enabled coding with

I place considerable doubt on claims of LLMs improving the user's thought process. Especially since everyone harps on about it but never provides concrete evidence. If your thinking has sharpened, surely you can find a way to demonstra

There's a research paper from the University of Liverpool, published in 2006 where researchers asked people to draw bicycles from memory and how people overestimate their understanding of basic things. It was a very fun and short read.

If that's the goal, the technology for how these agents "learn" would be the most interesting one, even more than the demos in the link. LLMs can barely remember the coding style I keep asking it to stick to despite numerous

You only notice this stuff if you use shell very often, and practically live in the command line. Since I started my career I've been using omz and a fresh install is always snappy but over time it starts getting slow. Debugging/p

We keep a precomputed cityhash64 value for a few columns we know are going to be used for aggregations. Rather than relying on ClickHouse to do it internally, this explicity behavior I've found is faster. Especially if it's a mult

You're referring to the on-prem Jira. That might suck, sure. My experience has been purely using Jira Cloud and Confluence Cloud, both of which I've found to be snappy and responsive.

I find this to be a very amusing critique. In my experience, Notion (when I stopped using it 3 years ago) was slow as molasses. Slow to load, slow to update. In comparison, at work, I almost exclusively favor Confluence Cloud. It's ver

If you're getting such value out of LLMs, I'm intrigued to learn more about what exactly it is that you're feeding them. People boast about the gains with LLMs all the damn time and I'm sceptical of it all unless I see t
