Yeach, we're seeing `Authentication Expired` for our firebase auth calls. Firebase static hosting still looks up.

It's hilarious and probably terrible for society that you can sell your company but still control it. The most powerful companies become even less accountable to anyone . If you bu…

Because he was a schmuck on a bicycle exploring a region more than twice the size of Texas, and not an actual journalist? Seriously, the OP was from freaking buzzfeed and it still …

I think treating it as a job where 75% of the salary is experience is probably the right attitude. FWIW I worked with a lot of grad students and anecdotally saw the best outcomes f…

Narrator: they can't.

Vulkan for better or worse seems super targeted at AAA gamedevs, here's a probably unfair 1189 line example of how to show a triangle: https://github.com/SaschaWillems/Vulkan/blob/…

If they'd done this right at the PY3K transition and only allowed the function-call-without-parenthesis syntax for `print` calls it could have been a good idea. But now that the co…

Weird, as anecdotes go I've always thought the signal iOS app was very polished. I just checked three of those issues (camera access, shared links, search) on an iPhone 11 Pro Max …

Pay 10% more than other non-FAANG companies (who are on a different planet) and offer a real mission and opportunity to make a difference in the product/world/industry. Make sure t…

Is it desirable for a distributed Python package to write files to a hardcoded absolute path? Wheels seem to respect the `package_data` setup key, which is definitely inside the li…

It seems like a slightly bizarre system: have any of the "graduated" companies actually been successful by conventional (i.e. profitable) metrics?

> we shouldn't be eating as much meat as we do anyway. This is not universally agreed, and sounds a bit like a modernized version of "let them eat cake."

The number one rule of UX changes, people shit on everything no matter what you do. Counter-anecdote: it's a fine-to-good change.

K8 specifically might not be the future, but containers are the past (chroot) present (docker) and future. Sure, containers are a hacky shell script... but a hacky shell script tha…

I think an important angle of "consider the cost" is that materials in R&D are pretty much ALWAYS cheaper than a team and time. For example here if the whole rocket was a 4mm thick…

I've set up automated welding cells, and the "settings" excuse sounds totally reasonable to me haha. There are indeed a million settings (weld weave pitch and amplitude, wire feed …

Another similar sampling profiler which has decent performance is pyinstrument: https://github.com/joerick/pyinstrument

The Comet Lake stuff they just announced probably supports it (no details yet): https://www.macrumors.com/2020/01/06/intel-5ghz-comet-lake-c...
