What was it like to work in the film industry, presumably as a software developer? I've heard lots of anecdotes about the games industry, but nothing whatsoever about working on a film.

Is that a recent-ish improvement? I feel like HTTP/2 would be roughly the same performance for JSON and protobuf, so maybe this is HTTP/2 vs HTTP/3?

It's a tracking tool. You have a bunch of sites embed an image, and requests to those sites also make requests to said image, which you can use to start tracking a client. A single pixel is merely the cheapest image. I recall Facebook

It's no joke for some. It was some time ago that I read about it, and I'm struggling to find a source now, but there are instances in India of people being declared dead to allow their next of kin to steal their land. In doing so,

There's more info about the outcome in [1]. Long story short, the US government passed a law (whilst this case was being litigated) that let AT&T off the hook. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepting_v._AT%2

It's not that the article is inherently unsafe, it's that the UK law imposes a liability the author is unwilling to shoulder.

I read that line and thought "so, the solution is code review?". What has to happen to your processes that code review is not only missing, but unironically claimed to be the solution? I know there are some companies that never di

Assuming I've found the right process-compose [1], it struck me as having much overlap with the features of systemd. Or at least, I would tend to reach for systemd if I wanted something to run arbitrary processes. Is there something ad

It's the Isle of Man to the best of my knowledge, but the people, and language, are called Manx. Like the English are from England.

If you want emails from some random internal machine, you can use one of the HPE SMTP servers. There was one for internal email, another for external iirc although I'm not sure there was a difference in practice. Those SMTP servers wou

I can't speak to the Airs, but I went from an Intel Pro to a M3 Pro in a previous job and the battery life improved massively. I used to be able to heat my study by running a linter, but after the switch I remained chilly. I'm now

I'm not sure if you've misunderstood, so apologies if this is old news. US companies may have teams of engineers in various other countries. But they almost always pay local market rate. In much the same way US companies will pay

The UK monarch's power is largely based on convention more than active decision making. For example, a government is formed at the invitation of the monarch, but that's long reflected the results of an election. Getting rid of a P

To clarify a bit further, the UK head of state is King Charles III, as he is for a bunch of other countries in the Commonwealth. Head of state in the UK is a bit weird compared to countries that abolished or never had a monarchy.

It's not even just your users. I work on a S3-compatible service where a good chunk of the test suite is built on the AWS SDK. In reality, AWS are the reference S3 implementation. Every other implementation I've seen has a compati

Is Tiktok genuinely manipulated by the CCP? I could never quite tell if that was merely scaremongering and hypothesising by American politicians, or based on evidence of past transgressions.

That seems like short-sighted advice. My company probably isn't paying me to write crypto, web frameworks, database drivers, etc. If it's not where I'm adding business value, I would generally try to use a third-party solutio

But does it not make you more vulnerable to competitors? Losing one of your few big customers will hurt regardless, but it likely hurts less if you have a pool of SMBs to act as a buffer.

There's a recent rough breakdown of costs and funding in [1]. In short, most funding is from ads. I don't think that takes into account funding for the newer Minecraft or LoL wikis, but it'll either be funded by ads or the ga

The go CLI does exactly the same. Python's pip (via setup.py) will do the same, and in an arguably less transparent way iirc. I don't disagree that there are better ways, but it's good enough to get you off the ground.

Looking at the referenced source which links to their methodology, there's about 75k child sex offenders. 9/10 child sex offenders that are caught aren't on the register. So perhaps the estimate is actually below the real val
