is Dublin becoming more of a cultural center since Brexit?

can you elaborate a bit? What you're saying sounds pretty interesting but I'm too ignorant to read between the lines

but isn't the whole point of io_uring that it's more performant?

by hderms 3y ago
Yeah it's considerably more harmful in professional environments, imo. I forgot to mention in my initial comment that I feel like people underestimate how effective it is to drop the pretense that you already know enough about what&#

yes, there are so many frustrating communication archetypes I feel like there should be a compendium/dictionary of them. Unfortunately, most of them seem ego-driven, so it takes a lot typically for people to grow out of them.

Well, engineers are kind of the archetypal model of the "but ackshually..." guy, so I'd venture to say you're right. I used to be more bold in my pronouncements when I was younger, now I think I like to repeat stuff I&#x

Bravo. I had a laugh from reading this which quickly turned to horror after I realized it might actually come true

I personally believe FTL is likely impossible so I think the only realistic hypothesis is if we encounter aliens, that they're von Neumann drones on the vanguard edge of a colonization wave from an alien race that's been doing it

Why does it suck, because it's doing a lot of allocations?

by hderms 3y ago
Well in real terms, isn't all it takes is something that's a convincing enough forgery? Like why the turing test was considered interesting at one point. I don't think drawing a line is necessary for us to quickly become caug

Hey there! Thanks for your comment. What do you specifically mean by rescale/watermark/scrub content to protect users from themselves?

Well replace "intelligent" with "competent" and what do you get? Should we not expect the people telling us all to give them money because we couldn't hope to make more efficient use of it to be able to exercise the

Maybe you can totally rank order goals or principles of morality within the confines of a single person, but how could you hope to do that for large groups of people without forcing everyone to assume the same things as you? Long-termism be

Imo there's a huge distinction between microservices in a monorepo or microservices where there are 100s or thousands of git repos. Monorepo can be much easier as you can at least verify the given build is consistent. Monoliths don&#x2

A relational system with the guarantees usually provided by them seems really difficult to do. Like cockroach db but considerably harder or with considerably worse performance. I always thought it was more common for stuff like KV stores wi

Yeah, that's a great one.

There are huge obstacles for foreigners to move to the US and work, but higher education is also one of the most straightforward paths to the immigration pipeline (afaik as someone who's never dealt with it themselves). I believe that

Why are those questions the end all be all of the discussion? Many good things are done in the world that have a variety of motivations. He could get views in a variety of ways but the fact that he's doing it by helping people shouldn&

with Rust you could also avoid using a lock on STDOUT and get it even faster!

You could falsely negate a bunch of things by claiming it's premature optimization if you expand it's definition to mean thinking in advance. That being said I agree with you that interfaces for literally everything is a bad idea.

What's your point? It's pretty obviously a country ruled by an authoritarian regime with a really low standard of living. Is there something noteworthy about the fact that the US slanders it?

What would make you think that tech offers will go down? Why would a company making X revenue per engineer not offer a maximum of something like 80% of X? Not to mention inflation and low unemployment numbers. even if what you're sayin

I probably wasn't entirely clear in my post that I'm not necessarily a believer in GraphQL. I'm mostly repeating/surmising the reasons that other people are interested in it, and not necessarily myself. You could argue w

Graphql servers are typically not run in a manner that allows arbitrary query execution, usually only a select set of queries that were written by the devs, tested, and potentially profiled before deployment. from that perspective, if a mob

In my relatively naive opinion, graphql exists to solve a few things (which are mostly benefits for large scale companies): 1. Reduce the total number of HTTP connections required to get the data for a specific component or page. Imo this i

I feel like people don't go deep enough into how to write 'crash only software' in these discussions. Like what are the options? 1. write ahead log before you do side effects/idempotent side effects 2. double writes to d

I'm guessing the answer to this question is predominantly determined by the price of your lawyer.
