is Dublin becoming more of a cultural center since Brexit?

can you elaborate a bit? What you're saying sounds pretty interesting but I'm too ignorant to read between the lines

but isn't the whole point of io_uring that it's more performant?

Yeah it's considerably more harmful in professional environments, imo. I forgot to mention in my initial comment that I feel like people underestimate how effective it is to drop t…

yes, there are so many frustrating communication archetypes I feel like there should be a compendium/dictionary of them. Unfortunately, most of them seem ego-driven, so it takes a …

Well, engineers are kind of the archetypal model of the "but ackshually..." guy, so I'd venture to say you're right. I used to be more bold in my pronouncements when I was younger,…

Bravo. I had a laugh from reading this which quickly turned to horror after I realized it might actually come true

I personally believe FTL is likely impossible so I think the only realistic hypothesis is if we encounter aliens, that they're von Neumann drones on the vanguard edge of a coloniza…

Why does it suck, because it's doing a lot of allocations?

Well in real terms, isn't all it takes is something that's a convincing enough forgery? Like why the turing test was considered interesting at one point. I don't think drawing a li…

Maybe io_uring?

Hey there! Thanks for your comment. What do you specifically mean by rescale/watermark/scrub content to protect users from themselves?

Well replace "intelligent" with "competent" and what do you get? Should we not expect the people telling us all to give them money because we couldn't hope to make more efficient u…

Maybe you can totally rank order goals or principles of morality within the confines of a single person, but how could you hope to do that for large groups of people without forcin…

Imo there's a huge distinction between microservices in a monorepo or microservices where there are 100s or thousands of git repos. Monorepo can be much easier as you can at least …

A relational system with the guarantees usually provided by them seems really difficult to do. Like cockroach db but considerably harder or with considerably worse performance. I a…

Yeah, that's a great one.

There are huge obstacles for foreigners to move to the US and work, but higher education is also one of the most straightforward paths to the immigration pipeline (afaik as someone…

Why are those questions the end all be all of the discussion? Many good things are done in the world that have a variety of motivations. He could get views in a variety of ways but…

with Rust you could also avoid using a lock on STDOUT and get it even faster!

You could falsely negate a bunch of things by claiming it's premature optimization if you expand it's definition to mean thinking in advance. That being said I agree with you that …

What's your point? It's pretty obviously a country ruled by an authoritarian regime with a really low standard of living. Is there something noteworthy about the fact that the US s…

What would make you think that tech offers will go down? Why would a company making X revenue per engineer not offer a maximum of something like 80% of X? Not to mention inflation …

I probably wasn't entirely clear in my post that I'm not necessarily a believer in GraphQL. I'm mostly repeating/surmising the reasons that other people are interested in it, and n…

Graphql servers are typically not run in a manner that allows arbitrary query execution, usually only a select set of queries that were written by the devs, tested, and potentially…
