It's been a change in the past 10 years but I would say women are still systemically under-compensated, under-levelled, and encouraged to move into less prestigious roles like product, design, etc. The perception that women are bette

One of my favorite intern projects was cutting up power traces on USB hubs and connecting them to a giant bus bar so we could put multiple amps through them without tripping fuses on the host machine. Testing some very non-compliant hardwar

What if the President orders the Vice President to shoot someone in the street? What if the President signs an Executive Order directing himself to shoot someone in the street?

"Change the law" versus "change the constitution" are two very different things. The US couldn't pass the ERA, which just enshrines women's rights in the Constitution. Anything more controversial like "the

I can't tell what your stance is on the al-Awlaki assassination? If the leader of a country orders an extra-judicial killing, especially of one of their own citizens, that seems like it deserves criminal penalties. People get very judg

Kaczynski has a few good points about the dehumanizing effects of industrialization, but man is his extremely long screed about "leftists" tiresome. You could give that chunk to Joe Rogan or Tucker Carlson and it wouldn't fee

Lots of respect to Jacky for writing this. The tech industry truly pays enough money that you can lose sight of solidarity with other workers. Even as shit gets worse and more human rights are privatized you can stay insulated. I once had a

I worked with someone who insisted on using fx for DI in go. It's so antithetical to the entire Go philosophy, I don't even think it's an "advanced feature". It's just bringing Java cruft to a language where it

Nothing is gonna give you good, consistent comp like writing software. I'm sure some sales people do very well but "eat what you kill" also means lean months, and sometimes whether or not deals close is outside of your contro

I think "message queues" have become pretty commoditized. You can buy Confluent or RedPanda or MSK as a service and never have to administer Kafka yourself. Change Data Capture (CDC) has also gotten really good and mainstream. It&

This is a comment about brick and mortar businesses, I literally talked about having to personally guarantee a multi-year lease in the post. And yes, some businesses are even harder due to regulatory requirements

Except these integrations are used by the end users to post content to Twitter. If you really wanted to squeeze end users you could make them connect a premium account or something, but charging the console maker for the consumer's use

GraphQL makes sense in the narrow context of "you have a high latency end-user and you're pulling in deeply nested social graph data". It didn't need to be a general purpose framework, but you don't get to start you

In TFA, they're literally taking roads and turning them into housing near transit hubs? This policy goes hand in hand with densifying housing.

GraphQL absolutely feels like a technological solution to an organizational problem. What if your front-end team wants to write crazy queries and your back-end team wants to build their resume doing Real Engineering, but what you actually n

Clearing the people out of Ottawa took far too long. The local police were cozy with the truckers and the entire downtown of a metro area with a million people was shut down for a month. People complain about left-leaning protests taking ov

The Supreme Court is extremely selective about what cases should be deferred to states and which should be the realm of the federal courts. They needed to federally abolish affirmative action in college admissions, but when a person is bein

I think the current LLM trend is way overhyped. The thing these companies are doing, crucially, is extracting money from technologically unsophisticated companies and funnelling it into VC pockets. Silicon Valley bubbles are frequently ince

Yeah protobuf is a good IDL and encoding. Unfortunately gRPC makes some choices that make sense for internal RPCs in a large engineering org, but it's not good for external clients IMO.

This is kind of what Optane was in some incarnations (it's really terrible branding that conflates multiple technologies).

There's an important distinction because a police "union" is in opposition to any other workers and unions. The police are the tools of capital, they break up strikes. The cops aren't going to join you in a sympathy stri

VMs are a very interesting way to decompose a problem - you can implement the fundamental operations, test them thoroughly, and then generate bytecode and debug the bytecode implementation. A couple years ago I thought about giving a presen

In Ontario my doctor sends prescriptions "electronically". In practice it's not clear whether this is like an email, or whether someone behind the scenes prints out the prescription and faxes it. Apparently the local clinic h

Similar experience in Canada with our telecom cartel. They're legally required to allow other providers to use their lines but if you need support you're out of luck. We had multi-day outages routinely and a Bell tech couldn'

How would that even work? Are you looking at your surroundings or your work? It sounds like a nightmare version of people staring down at their phones while shuffling down the street.

They're automatically predicting the limit _and_ figuring out binpacking into hyperthreaded CPUs and NUMA cores. K8s just pushes your supplied values down to the kernel, which is exactly what they're saying is inefficient.
