By every available measure, Waymo is safer and more equitable than cabs and rideshares. Waymos don't refuse service on skin color or disability. They don't have to stop every block…

The worst part of all this is that GitHub's CTO and VP of Engineering sent out the usual "here's what we'll do to fix things" letter to their larger customers and, without exaggera…

The New York Times has been thriving. They're profitable and their stock is near all-time highs. If the internet killed WaPo, why didn't it kill NYTimes?

It's notable that they blame "our upstream provider" when it's quite literally the same company. I can't imagine GitHub engineers are very happy about the forced migration to Azure…

Rosetta Code is what you're looking for, I believe: https://rosettacode.org/

It's an incredible show but the finale "season" catapults it into my personal top 3 children's shows of all time. They did an incredible job of bringing it full circle and tying a …

I'm just not looking forward to the inevitable subscription billing dark patterns that are almost guaranteed to be rife in alternative app stores. Call to unsubscribe, early cancel…

We used CloudEvents internally at Segment as an evolution of the existing ad hoc format that evolved naturally over time. We were generally happy with its ability to bring some sem…

You can’t make an accusation like that based on “vague memory”. At least try to substantiate your claim.

WarpStream relies on a proprietary metadata store hosted within their internal network to operate, so it's pretty unlikely that Jepsen tests could cover that. If you're ok with the…
