This defeatism is unhelpful. I'll not simply surrender the country that I love, thanks.

I live a couple of blocks away from this Kirkland roundabout and I drive through it very often -- almost every time I go anywhere. Overall, I like it. My average traversal through the roundabout, for just about any source/destination,

AFAICT this is not talking about Glasswing stuff. They are saying that they were sent a demonstration of Fable 5 being used/abused in some specific way that led to the "discovery" of some minor, already-known vuln, and that o

This scheme reminds me of smaz ( https://github.com/antirez/smaz ) but with dynamically generated dictionaries.

Skirt too short, in other words? I'm going to place the blame on the party committing the crimes, not the person exercising free expression.

Personally, I like configuration languages that don't let you "go nuts" in the first place.

It is 1995. You get an unsolicited email with a dubious business offer. Upon reflection, you decide it's not worth consideration and delete it. No need to wonder how it was sent to you; that doesn't need to influence the way you h

I had to sort by "Top: last year" to see two Copilot-related issues at the top. They are: - https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/159749 - https://github.com/orgs/commun

I really identify with this way of thinking. One domain where it is especially helpful is writing concurrent code. For example, if you have a data structure that uses a mutex, what are the invariants that you are preserving across the criti

I was trying to understand how an altitude of 470,000 ft compares to other things, so I looked up a few numbers. 470k feet is 143 km. The altitude record for an air-breathing aircraft is 38 km. There are some very low earth orbit satellites

I guess to me it seems like common sense that a system that has substantially fewer crashes also has substantially fewer deaths. Maybe we can't make definitive statements about the expected number of deaths yet, but I think the most re

I've done this for a few years as well. I use a terminal+tmux for most work including quickly editing files here and there but for some reason when I get to "proper" focus-mode programming my brain just wants a separate &quot

I don't think I'm in any of those groups. I own a variety of monitors and can easily tell the difference between 60hz and 120hz. All things being equal, I of course prefer 120hz (or 165hz as some of my gaming monitors support). I

Well that's partly sampling bias. You're not likely to own a Tesla if you hate the touch controls. My wife and I went through the car buying process this year and test drove a Model Y. I was pretty meh on the touch interface and m

My conclusion at the time was that it was not, strictly speaking, a bug. It seemed to be a sharp edge that was WAI. Considering it again now, I do think it's essentially a bug, but it seems to be a known thing at this point. What I d

I became intimately familiar with negative dentries while debugging a slow service deploy a few years ago. A deploy that was normally very fast would sometimes hang for a few minutes during a phase where all it had to do was delete the old

We run on thousands of EC2 instances and our biggest systems operate at millions of requests/sec. No containers*. We use EC2, Route53, S3, and some other AWS stuff, plus custom tooling built on their APIs. Most of our code is Go or Clo

It's true that most induction cooktops/ranges aren't great for woks, but in principle the induction surface doesn't have to be flat -- it can be a concave shape to match the wok. In fact these exist -- if you search for

Another problem with reflexively pointing out something wrong is that it's easy to be mistaken when you're hasty. Then you have the walk back the criticism and admit you were wrong. (Or double down and quibble about what exactly

I just make my home directory be a git repo directly. That's even simpler -- no symlinks. You have to get used to having a repo with many unchecked-in files, but it works well enough. I have a git alias or two to help. This has been a
