"My one walled garden won't let my other walled garden in."

Yeah, not much to see here. Each of the activists named likely had a similar "dossier" on MSG and the Dolan guy. Knowledge workers are going to practise knowledge management. Peopl…

Much as I liked the books, enjoyed the most recent movies, big fan of Herbert; lining up the Pandora books to reread next. Etc.... people tend to read too much into his world build…

TFA has a point that it should never have happened, and that CF software engineering practices are likely to blame. But a BCNF (or 5NF or whatever) database without nullable column…

Haunting images. Plenty of blind spots today that might be looked back on similarly.

Yup, we've all been cornered at a party by that dude, the one who has all these great contrarian ideas he got from reading books. And listening to podcasts. And reading blog posts …

Yeah, MPESA was and is still an incredible product. A real lightning-in-a-bottle moment. Even if they've struggled to replicate that success in other geos, the original vision and …

The npm ecosystem's approach to supply chain security is criminally negligent. For the critical infrastructure that underpins the largest attack surface on the Internet you would t…

> we’ve eliminated resilience wherever we could, because it’s more cost-effective. Resilience is expensive. You are right. But alas, a peek at the AMZN stock ticker suggests that t…

Echoing a lot of users ITT, Windows has been good to me but the enshittification has reached what feels like the end point. Windows value to me was "everything just worked". But th…

Sounds about right. These kids have been on camera since they were in the womb. The delivery had a pro videographer. Parents had baby monitors with a video feed, later a nanny cam.…

TFA doesn't make it clear to me how the line is drawn from "bunch of mates playing a pro-sports seasonal drafting game and spice it up with a buy-in pot" to "you sit alone in front…

>> ...summarize these rules into one sentence, it’d be: >> Prefer global UI consistency over local optimizations. I weep for our field, because this should be true beyond the confi…

I did wonder about that. Maybe yeah. It's likely that several no-better forks would have sprung up right away.

i would contend that they are no worse than the original teams, who also clearly didn't care. their motivations may have been growth rather than AI training data but the outcomes w…

It's a stretch to pin blame on Microsoft. They're probably the reason the service is still up at all (TFA admits as much). In hindsight it's likely that all they wanted from the pu…

Sure, SOAP was often awful, I agree with that. But I can't see any angle where one can credibly assert that a SOAP XML payload isn't equivalent to a REST JSON payload in terms of t…

Maybe it's just me but I find the complaint confusing and the suggested remedy absent in TFA, despite reading it twice. Data comes from outside your application code. Your algorith…

Do you still need an add-on library to use more than one core?

As others have kind of pointed out, using "outside our DC" processing for corporate data is a non-starter for many companies. These companies are left to choose between self-hostin…

Only vibe-coding influencers were ever talking about 10x multipliers. Internally we expected 15%-25%. A big-3 consultancy told senior leadership "35%-50%" (and then tried to upsell…

Nah, this lays out what everyone knows going in and leaves out what you really need to know as a newby. Budget. Getting some for your team or at least for your priorities. Protecti…

The author puts the BLUF: "The actual bottlenecks were, and still are, code reviews, knowledge transfer through mentoring and pairing, testing, debugging, and the human overhead of…

Devereaux's objection is that Scott is to some extent trading off a reputation for making "historically accurate" movies. As TFA points out, on a "historical accuracy scale" Gladia…
