The high numbers here are eye-opening, but the article doesn't shed any light on the process. I'm left with the feeling that opening a restaurant is hard, but there is nothing to c…

Not having played with SIMD much myself, does leveraging these instructions for an intensive operation like a sort push other workloads out of the CPU more aggressively than operat…

Sincere question: What benefit is there to owning equity in such a company in employee sized quantities?

To focus on fewer problems.

This isn't how scaling works though. Across all applications the hot data growth outpaces the cold. So if you're designing capacity for exponential growth, the future point at whic…

Are you more interested in fixing a process or fixing the problem? Sending in-product feedback certainly could work because it's more likely to be seen by product management as it …

I think you're spot on. Self driving software seems to me like it will handle the vast majority of driving situations much better than humans could within the 5 year horizon OP is …

Is this a non-sequitur or are you trying to somehow explain the difference between the two drives noted in the comment you are replying to?

Did you read that account's tweets? It's clearly a biased account with an agenda.

Patterns and automation supporting modularization hasn't received the attention that patterns and automation around services has over the past 10 years. In practice, modularization…

That's not at all the case in my state. The state and county operated facilities were huge, and moved a significant number of people through the vaccination process extremely effic…

Healthcare options were a major deciding factor when I pursued entrepreneurship in 2011. Ultimately we decided that the Massachusetts options at the time had sufficient coverage gi…

Yes. In the early 2000s Endeca made use of several public ontologies to enhance its information access and summarization products for clients. One particularly compelling example t…

It's far easier to enforce information Access control in a services oriented architecture. In a monolith, a developer doesn't even have to use an access controlled API. They can si…

Generally in banking you either separate preauthorization (or reservation of funds) from authorization, or you separate transaction from settlement and you compute an acceptable ra…

I think in the near term a combination of good content and enjoyable user experience with viewing application is going to drive adoption. I have a Roku and Samsung SmartOS TV. The …

Imagine blasting this sequence down to huge numbers of consumers, and letting independent nodes coordinate on intervals in the sequence in order to establish secure one time commun…

Personally, I think ORM has a reasonable use case here, but I also find doing this using SQL to be straightforward and easier to reason about during future refactors. Take a look a…

Many companies do not provide read access to application databases either, without explicit consent via well-defined process. There are many compliance-related reasons why this is …

Allow biases but penalize the publication of misinformation after the fact. Publishers producing informative content might emerge as the breadwinners and the propagandists will los…

Some commenters are conflating "separation by content type" with "separation by personal bias." However, I think this idea exists already. The Financial Times, for example.

Prototyping alternative solutions is a cheap way to help uncover trade-offs, and you can do this independently. Attending retrospectives after things go wrong is a good way for exp…

With enough stack space you don't need to decouple your data from your pure functions at all ;-)

Thoughts on this format? Cafeteria open at 6am, Homeroom from 7 - 9, classes requiring your brain to be awake after that.

In my view our collective interest in CSV as a medium for data distribution has resulted in far too much information loss, and consequently, time wasted on input sanitization, vali…
