Builder pattern isn't only used in Rust, but I agree it's hideous to use in Python.

Ya if anything the real take away is that our satellites are very impressive!

It is very fast, Mexico City has serious problems. My point is that "can be seen from space" is an awful way to communicate that. It provides no useful intuition for the scale of "10 inches per year".

Referring to "25 centimeters per year" as "so fast it can be seen from space" is so funny to me. We have very good satellites! Lots of things can be seen from space. "can be seen from space" is an awful way to

Idk why it's hard to believe another company would try to outbid. Discovering good locations for data centers is genuinely a difficult problem. They're relatively scarce. Bidding wars seem completely plausible.

I broadly agree with the article. The described pattern is standard in Meta. This, along with the infrastructure and tooling to support it, was the single largest "devx quality of life improvement" in my experience moving to big t

Microservices should have clear owners reflected in the org chart, but the topology of dependencies should definitely not be isomorphic to your org chart.

I'm pretty confused by this article. It says docker compose is at the "wrong-level of abstraction", but I kept feeling the author was instead expecting docker compose to solve different problems that it was ever meant to solv

I actually like that analogy. It's somewhere in between. Enough that LLMs can help in many ways, but the current models are still far away from doing everything.

Is most code being written the equivalent of high-art or Shutterstock?

Why do you think a series which absolutely converges but whose first few terms are a poor approximation is related to a series which diverges but whose first few terms match the empirically expected value? Not only is it a stretch to wonder

What makes you think that the "selling point" of AI today is that it is significantly better at everything than humans?

Never forget that the world economy is probably being held together by a handful of these.

There's a difference between an accent and incorrect pronunciation, and using the wrong tone is the latter.

That's a good point.

I share that intuition, although I don't see any reason to trust the intuition of an outside (either myself or presumably yourself) making 2 second back-of-envelope calculations of that of the Alphabet board.

Why's it so hard to believe that a worse CEO for one year would result in a 0.01% lower market cap? Given that framing, 200m is a very drastic under estimation.

Neat :) I personally feel like upgrading a database should be an explicit admin process, and isn't something I want my db container entrypoint automagically handling.
