Jim Roskind had a really nice talk [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uaaCiyJCFA ] at AWS Reinvent 2022 which highlighted the fence post problem. Basically, AWS was targeting P50 a…

That makes sense, and is a fine approach.

I'm of two minds about this. Facebook and Instagram keep me connected with friends, new and old. True, they're filled with algorithmic crap now, but when I tried ditching them for …

Semi-serious answer: No, the company only gave themselves the right to unilaterally amend the terms, not you.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/110th-congress/house-bill/3010 Sadly, this bill has been around since 2007, introduced by the very same Hank Johnson! I would love if Congress would p…

The big two, x86_64 and arm64, have 64-byte cache lines, so that's a reasonable assumption in practice. But I was surprised to discover that Apple's M-series laptops have 128-byte …

Yup, this is how stuff ends up getting lost and delayed, even if the crews on either side are competent and efficient. Most people can't fill up an 18-wheeler, so some bin packing …

I just want to point out that the answer is shift work. Here's an example of an SRE job at a national lab: https://lbl.referrals.selectminds.com/jobs/site-reliability-... "Work 5 s…

"This was the first leadership interview loop in the past 12 months (20+ companies) in which anyone had asked me to write code." Interesting data point for the question: at what po…

You got 21 recruiter messages _with salary_?? Amazing. I have had almost no luck getting that information from recruiters without hopping on a call. None have ever provided that in…

How can it simultaneously be the hottest job market in anyone's memory, and yet the process still looks like this? These don't look like companies struggling to hire; these look li…

Yeah, the expectation that _everyone_ excels in leadership and influence leads to some absurd situations, like everyone on a team being "tech lead" for some part of the project. Or…

Thank you for calling out on-call responsibilities in your job listing. Too many job listings today fail to mention that _very significant_ responsibility. I enjoy working with dis…

Definitely not graphd. Maybe Livegraph? I forget what the project was called, but it was the first realtime query engine built for the Knowledge Graph and it used PathQuery as the …

Mainly after. Metaweb brought MQL with them, which ran on their own single server graphd, which was eventually shutdown. Warren started working on PathQuery as a replacement for MQ…

I disagree with you premise. People are spending time in jail for not showing up to court, not because of their debts. And even jail time is pretty rare for a bench warrant. Of the…

Both this article and the ACLU report it's based upon are ridiculously misleading. You don't get arrested for owing a debt. You get a bench warrant issued for not showing up to cou…

What will likely happen, at least in California, is that the clerk will schedule all of the Equifax cases for the same day and the judge will hear them all at once, like a little m…
