> you really don’t feel the need to seek validation from other people in your life. This might be confusing the lack of need for validation with the lack of need for other people. …

GitHub solved the original "code collaboration" problem, and now it's a default easy way to outsource repo management. It also has the most integrations. A lot of companies grew up…

> i.e., claude code and similar, things are either prefill-bound When accounting for prefix caching, this greatly accelerates each turn. Barring large file reads, prefill still isn…

Not a Java implementation, but the original game was written in Java. Later, Microsoft bought Minecraft and rewrote it (Bedrock edition) which runs on Xbox, tablets, etc. But, the …

Google was already fairly profitable when Gmail was started, and did a considerable amount of capacity planning. It was also invite-only for a loooong time.

> Free forever for teams up to 5. Unlimited search, unlimited history. I understand the strategic value of offering unlimited features to differentiate from competitors like Slack,…

There are, and often times they're stuck in a loop of presenting decks and status, writing proposals rather than doing this kind of research. That said, interpreting user feedback …

This is often (though not always) blanket statement. Logs are always generated, and logs include some amount of data about the user, if only environmental. It's quite plausible tha…

Do you have a source for that? I'm not denying it, just curious to read more.

https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/7631 This is a long-standing issue with zvols which affects overall system stability, and has no real solution as of yet.

You'd think so, but for datacenter workloads it's absolutely common, especially if you're just scheduling a bunch of containers together. Computation also doesn't happen in a vacuu…

Except it's also trivial to buy or produce tables of pre-hashed emails, so this cloak of "oh we don't know who you are, it's a hash!" is usually just lipservice.

Android also reaps permissions that haven't been used recently. In the case of location, Android prompts for renewal even if it has been used recently.

There is no war in Ba Sing Se. Just saying it doesn't make it true. Twitter has a long way to go to regain advertiser confidence, and Blue is barely a footnote.

Software, movies, music is just a string of bits. Using something leaked always carries some inherent risk.

+1. And, it's in version control forever. It's not as if it entirely disappears. Like one of the sibling comments mentioned, I only rarely reject Sensenmann CLs. That's worth expla…

I think you're being downvoted because you've claimed "That's a case of not solving the problem.", but I think that actually better describes this answer. It's clever, certainly, b…

Computers are fast. I once worked on a service sitting at the top of a deep RPC stack. Stack traces were often folded into RPC error messages to help diagnostics. Well, if you have…

Or it would stunt their growth. Those sorts of tasks force you to poke around and learn, rather than having the answer handed to you by a LLM or senior engineer.

Another good reason to switch to Kotlin. :)

I generally agree with the author, and Google style guides generally discourages use of unsigned types (even in C++) for anything that isn't actually a bag of bits. I don't know ho…

Google interviewers sign up for particular languages and are expected to have proficiency in the language. As an interviewer, I also allow a lot of abbreviations (so long as we agr…

I'm not sure I understand. This is talking about Cargo metadata download improvements. You still download individual packages regardless of receiving a copy of the entire registry,…
