Straight into landlord's pockets.

Adding to this, a solution might be enabling continuous releases and leaning into release channels could help in terms of getting more out to users. In practice it's a challenge be…

IMHO SD cards fail much more often than the USB-C connector would, what's the worry? If the camera mounts as a mass storage device it's one fewer thing to go wrong.

That's not a random limitation, there are very specific reasons[1] you cannot easily add generic methods as struct receiver functions. [1] https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/re…

People assuming this is a competitive posture exclusively are missing the point. The app store isn't just about making more money, it's about enforcing privacy and security guideli…

Many ring-buffer implementations grow the backing storage array transparently on enqueue but do so in place, discarding the old arrays; what's the advantage of keeping the previous…

Quantity may have a quality all its own in warfare but for comments having the invite tree and accountability is pretty nice! I'd rather have (2) really insightful comments than 30…

Shockingly fast and nice and having the intermediate files be immutable is super nice.

We query them directly in most cases with the httpfs plugin, but for hot paths we fetch them and cache them on disk locally.

We use DuckDB extensively where I work ( https://watershed.com ), the primary way we're using it is to query Parquet formatted files stored in GCS, and we have some machinery to ma…

Tailscale has some server components (account management etc.) that are powered with SQLite. Can read more here: https://tailscale.com/blog/database-for-2022/

What one engineer can operate confidently doesn't necessarily extend to the rest of the team, who will have to support that system if that engineer leaves or has to work on other p…

Yes Node.js ships with what is effectively a very thin standard library for some low level things like interacting with the file system, the process model, some security features l…

There is a deeper strategy here with go vs. node; having a standard library maintained by professionals. I would rather build on a common set of libraries secured by people who are…

CockroachDB targets a different workload, namely, lots of reads and writes of individual records, versus returning large chunks of even larger tables. So it might help with inserts…

I would maybe consider it the other way; these companies are wildly profitable with huge margins, why don't the employees capture _more_ of the value they create?

So far in the betas the generics support has been really great, some issues with inferring the types of functions but otherwise going to be a welcome addition to the language.

4 ... of its 5 dependencies. It's just missing Viper. We should do a better job with the title here. See: - [0] https://github.com/muesli/coral/blob/master/go.mod - [1] https://git…

The ars technica extended interview with Andy Gavin is a great watch (mentions lisp from his time at MIT) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSHj5UKSylk

This is not a good comparison because big mining farms are not equivalent to people playing video games at home.

Not every project is large, there are plenty of things that don't need the burdens that larger projects place on the code to just get things done and get them done well.

Rust definitely has advantages for safety and correctness. Those advantages come at a cost, specifically in terseness and readability, which are both _strengths_ of Python. As a re…

Big point of strength for TSMC in negotiations is they're the only fab that can make 3nm chips in volume, which gives them a ton of leverage to push back against Apple.

You're obviously allowed to feel what you feel but if you've ever seen a "good" body of work taken on the street, and a "bad" body of work taken on the street, the skill of the pho…

Then it's going to be weaponized to launder money and be made illegal eventually.
