http.ListenAndServe is implemented under the hood with a new goroutine per incoming connection. You don't have to explicitly use goroutines here, it's the default behaviour.

Will be an underlying safety issue in some system library, but they have only seen "in the wild" exploits targeting Intel. "Defence in depth" - better to push the bugfix to all tha…

Yeah you can see the cooling requirements by looking at their product images. https://cerebras.ai/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Cerebras_Prod... Thing is nearly all cooling. And look …

It's not just that there are few signals to prevent the wrong person being put in charge, but this kind of government bureaucratic actively selects for the wrong person. These kind…

I mean they aren't designed for rack mounting? It's a consumer product, likely <0.1% of units produced will end up in a rack.

The port on the bottom is really the least offensive element of the design. I know people find it fun to clown on, but if any of them had ever used one for 5 minutes they would rea…

Regulatory challenge is that the FDA have to combine 3 related but seperate concepts: 1. Manufacturing quality/ingredients accuracy (is the product what is says on the tin) 2. Safe…

Given that experience, think about what state the alternatives must be in!

You'll likely run into frustrating app availability issues. Releasing iPhone apps on iPad is not universally done. (looking at you WhatsApp)

Court isn't the place for scientific inquiry into these issues. It's just not setup for it. French courts have also found in favor of "electrosensitivity" issues.

Sounds like a really interesting problem space. I'm curious if you have any comments about how you approached dealing with inconsistencies between information sources? System A say…

One example is that instead of adding support for edge case mutations/changes late in a process, it's sometimes better to force those records to be thrown away and reset with a new…

It's not "until sales shows up", it's until regulators start causing problems for Cloudflare because you are using Cloudflare infra to host a grey market online gambling website.

Harder to justify contributing back when the open source project is so tightly coupled to your biggest for profit competitor.

Even grosser is that they explicitly limited the iOS version of Google Photos to refuse to work with scoped access. So on iOS the app will refuse to work without being granted whol…

I'm also completely sick of fielding API migration emails from Google on mobile Android/Firebase. Feel like I get some "action required" every couple of weeks. This stuff saps our …

What’s crazy is the range on the liability estimate. Maybe there is a good reason for it. But 1b-10b is an absolutely massive window?

It does seem weird that there is this separation though. I would have assumed that there is a lot of overlap between machine design and operation.

More engineers doesn't automatically mean better software. Sometimes the opposite.

This is a rod Samsung has made for their own back though. Fewer SKU's, and more shared parts between models would be better for consumers and for the planet.

It seems that way because it kind of is. The early days of functional research were equally focused on designing alternative computer architectures that were more suited to functio…

The benefits from virtual threads come from the simple API that it presents to the programmer. It's not a performance optimization.

Channels and async/await aren’t really equivalent features. Beyond the fact that they both deal with concurrency. You can do channels (message passing) on top of async await.

And that’s the upgraded version. Previously it just… wasn’t possible at all?

At least it's somewhat possible to reliably test behavior of these against GNU coreutils. Pull down some archaic C++ project with a pile of janky shell scripts involved in the buil…
