If one actually looks at the current pingora API, it has limited ability to initialize async components at startup - the current pattern seems to be to lazily initialize on first c…

Concerning Denmark, I agree that using the decentralized model is highly likely at this stage. Criticism of the centralized model from both Left and Right political parties, so the…

It is a trial, with 50% given "chloroquine" (according to the article). The Danish Medicines Agency has a list of current and upcoming drug studies here: https://laegemiddelstyrels…

Actually, the thing we started using nix for was reliable caching of compiled artifacts, including not just your code, but all the programs and libraries that your code depends on.…

I know it's less of an issue for go users, but one of the great things about nix is how your runtime dependencies are (mostly) defined by inference from the programs you've built. …

Yup! I assume that at this point general counsel is involved in everything Google says publicly; it's then worth nitpicking at the exact details of what has or has not been admitte…

That is not what the note said. It said that screenshots made their way outside the company. I would associate that with an email account that wasn't the work account, a printed pa…

Agreed that there's not enough context to say why screencapping happened, what happened to said screencaps, and how all of this turned into scared employees. I currently perceive G…

Google's statement does not claim that the screenshots were shared with others. "Outside the company" covers a multitude of possibilities. It could also include saving screenshots …

I do appreciate that some people felt unsafe, but I wonder how exactly the messaging was made. Nobody ever came to me and asked how I felt about my work calendar being shared. You …

I meant, there is no way for subscribers to a calendar to do that automatically. There are possible heuristics that could filter out clearly personal entries (keywords, etc.), but …

They obviously subscribed to work calendars in order to follow the work activities of those people. There is no other technical way to do that. There isn’t a way to separate out pe…

Google’s statement is, in my opinion, disingenuous. Including personal information on your work calendar without using privacy controls is pretty bad practice, though obviously som…

Okay, I see what you mean. It is a statistic, and so far as it is what it is describes, it's true. And it has some use. The problem is that what people are usually asking for, is t…

How about this: you have a load balancer that sends much less traffic to servers that are running slowly (but still a small amount of traffic, so that it recognises when the machin…

The general aim of error handling in languages like Elm is for types to not lie. If you can either return a result, or an error, the type represents that. The more places that can …

There are three things that help: 1. the large number of values that you now know definitely have a value, and you can access without fear that they don't. 2. the helper functions …

We plan to release the software in early June, but the article was published in advance of the release. I've put a public repository at the location to make this clear, we'll updat…

The string concatenation API for Java IS terrible, but see modersky's post for the reasoning. Just don't mistake a bad API for some kind of belief that Scala in general idly conver…
