These are mutually exclusive states, actually. The "chance at making FU money" and "100% more work/stress" and "losing funding or... goes bust and can't make payroll", that's stuff…

$JOB-2 got sued over website accessibility. The way these cases go is someone uses the WAVE browser extension to identify accessibility issues, and anything yellow or red becomes p…

A reference to Postel's Law: be conservative in what you produce and liberal in what you accept. The law references that you should strive to follow all standards in your own outpu…

> Is there some reason a cryptographic algorithm developer must track the latest release of a compiler? Tracking the latest release is important because: 1. Distributions build (mo…

I enjoyed Schild's Ladder and Permutation City immensely

The output from an LLVM frontend compiler is LLVM IR, which is sort of a high-level architecture-agnostic assembly. The LLVM backend compiles this IR to the target architecture's m…

I wonder what your actual cache hit rate is? Sounds like it could use some tuning since 100-150ms sounds consistent with most requests hitting the origin?

Well, due process is a right co-equal to free speech, so which rights override which others in which circumstances will come down to legal precedent. My understanding is that the F…

KV storage is SQLite, and SQLite replication and syncing using an out-of-process daemon is becoming a solved problem. For that application at least no changes to the runtime would …

Here's two models: "Open Core", where the core product is open source and you provide closed source extensions, generally high-value integrations and enteprise-y features like SSO,…

What you're observing is not the rise and fall of best practice and good engineering. All you're seeing is the hype cycle. Best practice and good engineering in web dev is the same…

DynamoDB is an interesting beast. It's hard for me to recommend it for most use cases anyway. It was designed to power experiences that look like shopping carts: relatively short-l…

FWIW, DynamoDB (at least, an API-co patible, sqlite-backed stand in) can be installed to developer machines. But your point about on-prem stands

The Rifters Trilogy, also by Peter Watts is a great read as well. It focuses a bit more on the transhumanism aspects but non-conscious intelligence is a secondary theme of the last…

If a, b, c don't compel you, you may do fine with keeping an engineering journal or a personal wiki if all you need is a place to collect your knowledge. However, to advocate for b…

As long as the service container's members are typed you should

"no notes" is an idiom meaning "I have no suggestions for improvement" The author was being sincere, rather than sarcastic as your initial parse suggests

Honestly a cheap boom mic is going to be the optimum of ease-of-use and noise input isolation. There are plenty of fairly cheap earbuds with built-in boom mics, of varying quality.…

Only do this if you a) love chasing down bug reports of lambdas firing at 6 minutes rather than 5 or b) make it really, really clear in your marketing that the only guarantee is fi…

Well, the best way to protect that information would be to not store it at all. Whenever they select a candidate to vote for, you would place them into match groups bucketed by sco…

In defense of the first comment, when first approaching a body of code like this, it's not always going to be clear what returning None is going to mean in any given method. Also, …

An example of an output constituting a covered work might be that if you use a GPLv3-licensed library to output a timezone database shipped with the library in a JSON format, becau…

Programs compiled with GCC are not GPL by extension. Arguably the net weights are a kind of program themselves. If you have a non-GPL license to use and redistribute the data you u…

Depends on what you get out of programming, but here's some suggestions: * Re-create one of your favorite websites or apps * Create games, these can be as simple or as complicated …

That's only going to become a solution if you can convince people that the process preserves continuity of experience. How do I know that I actually wake up on the other side, inst…
