IMO this tool is basically allowing you to do that, it just takes care of the bookkeeping to associate the series of smaller PRs with eachother which is possible today but requires…

Is this practically true? Yes, anyone can clone any repo from Github, but surely scraping all of Github would run into rate limits? The terms and conditions say as much https://doc…

How do you solve the context propagation issue with eBPF based instrumentation? E.g. if you get a RPC request coming in, and make an RPC request in order to serve the incoming RPC …

> So you have endless "Fix a" "Typo" "fixup" "revert redo" "add y missed in z" commits and then the squash pushes all that crap into the commit message for whatever the final mess …

Did Google interviews change dramatically around 2012?

This isn't catching the panic though, this is propagating the panic through the parent goroutine. The whole program will still shut down, but the stacktrace that shows up in the pa…

Something I've increasingly wondered is if the model of CI where a totally pristine container (or VM) gets spun on each change for each test set imposes an floor on how fast CI can…

Understanding amendments would be a very good use case. Often changes to the law are not new laws, but changes in other laws. Any time I've tried to actually parse the law, I've fo…

Cool article, I'm not sure I agree with the headline. I used to write low-scale Java apps, and now I write memory intensive Go apps. I've often wondered what would happen if Go did…

Other comments have linked newer language features that make it easy. But for years, the Java Way of handling discriminated unions was to use the visitor pattern [1]. It's very ver…

The cynic in me > noted that the city rule has a provision that drivers’ pay can’t be reduced because of the fee caps This seems impossible to enforce right? The city can't reasona…

I agree with most of this, but was surprised by your comment: > Oh, also, the implementation of Kubernetes cron jobs is also complete garbage (spawning a new pod every job is insan…

Specifically about the stock market, Flash Boys by Michael Lewis is a fun read and taught me a lot about what the stock market is . It's not the densest book. It's more of a narrat…

While Apache is certainly not zero configuration, it is pretty easy to forget about the Apache part of the LAMP stack. When I got started making websites, I downloaded "WAMP" (wind…

Tobacco taxes have been found to discourage smoking among certain populations [1]. Perhaps that's not a fair comparison because the way legalization has been going, at least in the…

I find the comparison to java a bit unfair, because this pattern is totally possible but has been largely deemed a bad pattern. The analog to the pattern in java is to extend from …

If you're in the position to be buying a house, voting is basically free. Ignoring a credit score when applying for a mortgage can be considerably more expensive.

Do you have a source for that last point? Even if that number is right, I would think that Uber/Ola cars have higher after-production emissions due to them being driven all day and…

I'm genuinely not trying to be snarky, but how can you say that with any certainty? The only way to know this for sure would be to ask half your applicant pool to do the test, and …
