Ignoring the ironically missing way to respond to the post beyond the consult page, this is something I used to reliably do, for exactly this reason: > First, it’s positive and aff…

What cases was it saying it was lying? An average and a median can be drastically different without the average being false, right?

While interesting, I get a few questions from this: - As another commenter said, this is a known disadvantage of averages. I'm curious if it's possible to get a median result from …

Except it's not something you can really accurately assess before you start working somewhere.

Are you serious? This is the kind of thing you'd ask a clarifying question on and get information back immediately. Further, the huge overreaction from Hegseth shows this is a fund…

In what business is everyone in the company going business class?

This reads as if it isn't trivial to have an HTTP API for your public API in Erlang/Elixir, which is weird. Sure there isn't an included HTTP API for Erlang processes, but why exac…

It's a normal part of scaling because often bringing in the new technology introduces its own ways of causing the exact same problems. Often they're difficult to integrate into aut…

Just for example, the site for the National Archives still shows Article 1 Sections 9 & 10: https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcri...

Genuine question, as I've not invested much into understanding this. What features of the OS would enable these kinds of network restrictions? Basic googling/asking AI points me in…

The main lib everyone uses, :ex_aws, has been actively maintained for literally over a decade[1]. Official or not, it's used by literally the entire community, since even non-AWS s…

I'm not a big fan of Go, and I think you could write this about nearly any language.

Config/settings management are often paired with things that require at the very least an app reboot, where Feature Flags are explicitly something that should be capable of changin…

I mean, this mechanism wouldn't make a server operator using entirely non-Google cert authorities more difficult to maintain. I'm pretty cynical on Google these days, but I don't s…

To tl;dr for people: - As we've known for years, cryptographically-relevant quantum computers(CRQC) likely could wreck digital security pretty massively - For HTTPS, 2 out of its 3…

I understand, and what you shared is a perfect example of what I said- but I fundamentally disagree with the notion that it's the same between the two. I think that in effect, as y…

If people get it wrong so regularly, what value is it providing as a concept? These concepts are supposed to help us reach something better, if you have to add 30 caveats to every …

I'd ask what you mean by "fighting the browser"- as generally, the number one way to ruin the performance of your CSS is to introduce depth to it. In general, keeping everything is…

> Where I think inheritance works best is when the state in base classes is limited and the interface is quiet clear. Ideally where you are meant to override is also well defined. …

I'd be ready to agree if I could be pointed at a time that inheritance actually carries a real benefit- a time you would choose it over composition, if composition is available.

Are you visiting from the iOS(possibly Android too, but didn't see anyone mention) app? That's where it's generally happening.

Nothing that large admittedly- but I have gotten near the 1 million mark(prolly ~800k?) in one project. But I'd also say that at that size(honestly these days, I reach for it prett…

While I certainly agree, I've found that this is often an indication of too-complex an architecture, and a fundamental re-think being necessary. I've had projects that depend on [f…

There is actually efforts in the Typescript community attempting to do just that. Personally I think it'll end up being a waste, but these sorts of experiments, even when they fail…
