They call it warp

Does anyone else find that blue tint on the top of the page makes it really hard to read? I guess I usually scroll the text I'm reading to the top...

Thank you for that link, it was really fascinating. The Australian government guarantees deposits in the same way, but I never realised this was also true in the US. I had assumed …

similarly, https://1.1

At my company we would love to use buf but can't: because of the BSR. We already pay shitloads for our VCS - we don't want to pay for another product that does the same thing. Afte…

I can't agree with having a source file include the tag. It is an eternal source of merge conflicts and pain, unless you take steps to automate it. And in that case, does the file …

If you consider cost... I would imagine a fair few. From the article: > We will ensure that D1 costs less and performs better than comparable centralized solutions.

In technical interviews I conduct I also include a system design challenge. I present a large scale architecture problem our company has had to solve and ask the candidate to take …

I think using gsuite software would defeat the point of switching desktop operating system to avoid being dependant on a single company.

They want to be able to re-install zoom for the user even if they have deleted it from /Applications.

> What strikes me the most is that this whole "event" would have hardly even registered on anyone's radar (it affected less than 10% of their traffic during early hours of the morn…

This really hits home to me. I worked on a project where I encountered an almost identical situation to the one you described. I stuck my foot down, and insisted we build the objec…

South Australia's energy grid is a very exceptional case, due to a very jarring transition to renewables. I would not expect the same level of returns in other areas.

If language features were free we'd likely have had generics for a long time now. Unfortunately generics is a trade-off: you get development speed/ease and pay for it in compile ti…

I think upvotes should more resemble "let's discuss this" rather than "I agree with this".

People said the same thing about sun exposure and smoking half a century ago.

Same here. I am consistently amazed by the amount of things like this that I take for granted.

Right, so the author going awol would be a pretty big break off that trust right? What about the author having their github account compromised? I agree that GitHub account names s…

If you don't pin your deps to a commit, what's the difference between the author deleting their account (and being replaced), and the author merging an evil commit?

Linus Torvalds: “Somebody is pushing complete garbage for unclear reasons.” http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1801.2/04628.html

But a Google account is not just email. It's also drive, calendar, and so on. There's a lot of time spent becoming familiar with those services, and to up and switch that entire su…

>you're fired. >nu-uh, I quit!

I'm about to start looking for a new job. How would you go about building connections to companies you're interested in, outside attending relevant meetups and conferences?

I'd say so. Imagine a worm which could spread itself to any phone within WiFi signal range. I'd guess at a worm like that covering a whole city at a really rapid pace. If you're st…
