That was my read as well: > ...the site had gone through a long approval process, which required public notices and public-comment periods. However, when Gilroy resident Rosa Rodri…

Note that Andrew's since removed the “outright fabrication” bit from his post. No indication of the edit itself though, which is a choice.

I'd say "use it as your database if you know your access patterns make it suitable/well-suited for its use as your database". Even then it will probably not be your only database —…

Do you have any stats on the latter?

Storing them in UTC is valid here also, but their IANA time zone string should also be stored ‘somewhere’.

Weird comment. I have three or four Apple devices at the moment and I don’t pay Apple a subscription fee for anything, let alone pay-per-use fees.

I posted (about three years ago now) in a Who Wants to be Hired thread. Admittedly, it was kind of on a whim, since I’d just left a job in operations after feeling burnt out, and t…

Who’s to say he’s necessarily right? The third approach (or pieces from it) could actually be the right one, even if he doesn’t know it.

If you’re referring to game dev specifically, there have been (and continue to be) concerns around the weight of C++ exception handling, which is deeply-embedded in the STL. This p…

I’d be curious to know why you’d say that.

Which advertisers have been scamming us? And does that subset encompass everyone who advertises on YouTube?

It seems a bit naive, given his list of business successes, to think that the positive things that happen at these companies under his leadership only happen because his employees …

I didn’t make an argument; I posed a question to the parent.

Would you argue that the Hamas attack against Israeli non-military citizens on October 7th was an attempt by Palestinians to normalize relations?

I don’t think it’s unreasonable at all to argue that YouTube has an effective monopoly in the video sharing space. Yes, there are certainly other platforms — Vimeo, Rumble, etc. — …

An interesting suggestion, but ‘indeterminate’ maps to nullish values, not to negative values. If you have options such as “oak”, “teak” and “walnut”, and there are some options ou…

> You have to learn the ux anyhow, may as well have the users learn boolean operators This seems like a bit much to ask considering the context, and especially considering “optimal…

Getting the UI for that right seems like the real trick. We have checkboxes and radio buttons that are well-understood to give us the thing(s) that are selected or checked, but we …

I didn’t experience any issues on my first read through, but on the second visit it now randomly scrolls back to the top of the viewport.

And notably, AWS can, and likely does, allocate whatever unused or unpartitioned infra to themselves (or, more pedantically, to Amazon). A perpetual ‘savings plan’.

The question would be “by what dimension of interesting”? Quake 3’s source is pretty interesting from the perspective of id just transitioning from C to C++, and famously has an im…

This, more increasingly, doesn’t mean building out your own data center. Often this just means you can deploy services to multiple platforms without a dramatic or upending burden o…

It’s not a good excuse to not build anything, but quite a good excuse to not build on what others own in such a way that you’re entirely reliant on them. Yes, unless you’re self-ho…

> Let me zoom in on my browser without the website getting all out of whack. This, weirdly, is a remarkably hard problem. I always like to think that I build sites that will be res…

Not really true. They can also double as media centers and as Blu-ray players. They’re not very good at the former, but given the apps available for both, they’re at least servicea…
