Does anyone else find that blue tint on the top of the page makes it really hard to read? I guess I usually scroll the text I'm reading to the top...

Thank you for that link, it was really fascinating. The Australian government guarantees deposits in the same way, but I never realised this was also true in the US. I had assumed during the mortgage crisis that people lost their deposited

At my company we would love to use buf but can't: because of the BSR. We already pay shitloads for our VCS - we don't want to pay for another product that does the same thing. After using go and getting a taste of what life is lik

I can't agree with having a source file include the tag. It is an eternal source of merge conflicts and pain, unless you take steps to automate it. And in that case, does the file add much value anymore? My personal experience with go

If you consider cost... I would imagine a fair few. From the article: > We will ensure that D1 costs less and performs better than comparable centralized solutions.

In technical interviews I conduct I also include a system design challenge. I present a large scale architecture problem our company has had to solve and ask the candidate to take us through their process of designing a solution. Excellent

I think using gsuite software would defeat the point of switching desktop operating system to avoid being dependant on a single company.

This really hits home to me. I worked on a project where I encountered an almost identical situation to the one you described. I stuck my foot down, and insisted we build the objectively better solution. We did, and only much later did I re

South Australia's energy grid is a very exceptional case, due to a very jarring transition to renewables. I would not expect the same level of returns in other areas.

If language features were free we'd likely have had generics for a long time now. Unfortunately generics is a trade-off: you get development speed/ease and pay for it in compile time, binary size and/or execution speed. This

I think upvotes should more resemble "let's discuss this" rather than "I agree with this".

Same here. I am consistently amazed by the amount of things like this that I take for granted.

Right, so the author going awol would be a pretty big break off that trust right? What about the author having their github account compromised? I agree that GitHub account names should not be released so quickly, but if you're serious

If you don't pin your deps to a commit, what's the difference between the author deleting their account (and being replaced), and the author merging an evil commit?

But a Google account is not just email. It's also drive, calendar, and so on. There's a lot of time spent becoming familiar with those services, and to up and switch that entire suite would take a massive amount of relearning. Und

I'd say so. Imagine a worm which could spread itself to any phone within WiFi signal range. I'd guess at a worm like that covering a whole city at a really rapid pace. If you're stuck with infecting networks then the main tra

I don't think it's fair to be throwing any individuals under the bus like that. There's obviously been several failures at multiple levels but the company as a whole will have to face the consequences, not just a few managers

I'm not an expert, but I think it's because c++ is _heavy_. Start using a few features like genetics and suddenly your binary and compile times grow substantially. You only need to look at chrome to see this happening.
