Sure. I tend to prefer a docsite generated using a rendering tool because when the docs look and feel high quality/high effort, people take it more seriously. But it can be that a README file in a set of directories is OK too. Chrome d

How much software is safety critical in general, let alone software that uses deep learning? Very, very little. I'd actually be amazed if you can name a single case where someone has deployed a language model in a safety critical syste

The word "safety" doesn't normally encompass lying or, more appropriately in this case, saying something untrue without realizing it. That's considered a very different kind of problem. Safety normally means there's

"the worst-case scenario is unlikely or in the future ... loss of human life is virtually certain" These two things are in conflict. We could ignore both asteroids and climate change and according to the best known science there

It is a fruitful area for research! Truffle is an example of the sort of framework you mean. Implement a parser+interpreter using Truffle and you get JIT compilation, GC, debugging, profiling and more stuff for free on top of the JVM.

Interesting but is it really used? Less than 1000 installs for a product as popular as Confluence?

Probably not IMO, it's very unlikely your source tree is structured the same way good docs should be. Docs are often task oriented, code is usually component oriented.

Thanks! Very thought provoking.

It does matter because the issue with wikis (not just confluence) is there's no approval or review workflow. Imagine trying to write a large program in which everyone could just commit at will, with no review process whatsoever, and wh

Well people say they hate attending boring meetings, but when you observe what people do it's normally the coders who actively find ways to skip / who aren't setting up new meetings / are requesting fewer meetings. Other

No not to the same extent. Meetings proliferate because people love them. LOVE them. Programmers dislike them because of flow but everyone else can't get enough of them. I only realized after enough years outside the tech industry. Mee

I tried to create this type of culture at my last gig, where I had the unusual privilege of being able to hire almost the entire engineering team, alongside my manager who was also very document oriented. Unfortunately, it didn't work

Could you talk a bit more about your success? What does it do, what pricing model do you use, how long did it take you to acquire customers, do you feel it's worth it? Asking for a friend, of course.

They're launching a new UI that's more VSCode like, way less cluttered: https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2022/05/take-part-in-the-new...

No, see my other comment. You're doing fine - same as in the other thread, I'm making a general comment about the notion of language "evolving". Evolution is a natural and emergent phenomena. In this case the language is

You're right, you have done pretty well here - I was taking your comment as a jumping off point for a more general theme, it wasn't meant to be a personal attack against you specifically. "Just because someone is a socialist

When definitions change organically over long periods of time, due to the masses of people concluding they like the new definition better, that's one thing. It may be disruptive but it's usually a slow process so there's plen

I think AdWords changed the world definitely for the better. A whole lot of niche businesses became viable that otherwise wouldn't have been, and it kept search results clean and fast. The state of the art before then was banner ads on

She doesn't appear to feel that she did anything wrong originally, and by implication will feel like she's a victim of injustice, so, very likely to reoffend.

Can't say I'm surprised, though the only evidence for this appears to come from Peter Todd so how are you sure it's true? LN should never have been pushed as hard as it was. If they'd launched it and it'd naturally

Oh? Do tell! That sounds interesting. I lost interest in BTC after they decided to cap the block size and push LN because LN was so poorly thought out.

Does Discord even have a corporate presence in the EU? For the French government to be fining companies because they happen to dislike the UI is such a random and unpredictable decision that it seems like a strong signal for US firms to not
