I've had mixed results writing "normal" business logic in c++, but i gotta say, for SQL it's pretty incredible. Granted SQL has a lot of boilerplate and predictable structure, but …

It's not artificial at all. It's a real limitation that was so outrageously annoying for the reasons mentioned above that VLC was able to "win" by tackling this one issue alone. Th…

I'm confused, are you saying that no one can detect if you're smoking or vomiting?

If your management team can't figure out how to do what you're asking, maybe you should be firing them instead. If _no one_ can figure it out, maybe you should be firing you.

Good for you, i guess? It was absolutely as stupid as they describe. There were multiple teams that were literally interviewing people to join and then laid people off in the middl…

Why would you not expect these exact same challenges to develop almost immediately on Mars? It's not like one country will own Mars and even if it did, one country generally cannot…

I do honestly prefer using vim over emacs for a bunch of reasons, but I wish it was configured with lisp instead. Emacs seems like a fun playground.

I was just thinking we used traits and enaml quite a lot in the scientific Python community and didn't realize that's what this was pointing to. As far as using it goes... It was a…

Depending on the product, the latency difference might not even be visible compared to the every day latency of the backend itself. If your ui maintains state via some kind of asyn…

So many examples of this across Google it's not even funny.

Ok... So two middlemen

To be fair, meta basically wants to be the web and in practice, for many people i know, it basically is.

You two seem a lot more interesting than everyone else i know. :(

You could submit your proposal to other journals as well though

You don't. You run it in emacs. That's what they are saying.

True, although I feel like none of those products have made positive product-oriented changes in many years now. Gmail at least is spiraling down the product toilet, which makes me…

Ideas from the gmail ads team regularly get shot down by product because it would make gmail suck too much and piss everyone off. I feel pretty bad for the ads team honestly. Like,…

"Just pack up your life and move to another zipcode if you want to have a baby" is such an SF answer it's almost a parody of itself.

This is also why Google sucks at so many things, despite having the best offering on paper. GCP is honestly great, but a terrible product. Stadia? Zillion chat apps? Google Inbox b…

But without reproducibility the paper is basically worthless. There's already a crisis of unreproducible work and the strong novelty bias is basically why.

Isn't Apple UX primarily famous for the fact that it's not particularly configurable and instead focuses on being simple and "just working?"

Isn't this what a job already is?

I have never tried, but my impression is basically "You could, but why would you?" Haskell had a big jump in popularity around a decade ago, but it didn't gain traction with the "i…

Both of those formats require(d) licensing didn't they?
