No business has the obligation to keep running what you find useful. If it was that useful, someone else will make it. If no one is doing it or well, I see no reason to just compla…

But how boring and unhelpful to have someone post it on every product that Google builds.

That's ... not what most people are doing. People send _application_ errors on HTTP 200 response codes, because HTTP response codes are for HTTP and not applications. Most "REST" l…

Why should internal tools not have these things? That kind of argument smells of, internal tools can be slow. No. Seems we should lift up Dear ImGui -- contribute, donate, feedback…

Google Domains made Google the equivalent of $0 and would teach them nothing about operating their core businesses.

And his context is what? Selling books and conferences? What has he actually shipped with his ideas? To me, it's the Clean Code of web services.

Oh boy, a whole pizza!

100%; we do that (see profile).

Why not use APCu?

Classic over-engineered DevOps, adding complexity for complexity sake. When you have a hammer... Everything you described was 2005.

No one is trying to get it for free. They are trying to get it for [significantly] less than 30%. If it's so great to use Apple Pay (one click, easy to revoke payment -- sounds gre…

You're not speaking to server authority but lag compensation. Your "behind cover" example describes best your concern with lag comp. It works both ways. You having lower latency ca…

Of course I want consteval, if a later C++ is available to me, but that doesn't excuse you writing constexpr does absolutely nothing, when it clearly does. It's no surprise your ex…

What? https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/EzrWW9ss5

Can you expand on what's fragile or what database you do trust? Do you trust your database or filesystem WAL, journaling, and/or vacuum/compaction?

So does Amazon's HTTP API for browser clients. Is Apple going to snuggle up with Amazon and get the Brave browser banned for nuking their ads, trackers, etc?

I know quite a few cloud administrators that are systems programmers. They love to work in languages that they can lean on their compiler and not runtime to find a lot of mistakes.…

Experienced programmers, if perf matters to their project, should think about their data structures, memory size, and access patterns. It's not clear why an experienced programmer …

$ path="/podcast/with/nasty'--c h a r$/and/stuff/track1.mp3" $ echo "${path##*/}" track1.mp3 $ basename "${path}" track1.mp3 $ echo "${path}" | awk -F/ '{print $NF}' track1.mp3

It's not though. There is nothing inherently negative having to use EGS compared to any other game hub. There is absolutely nothing negative about giving developers more money to m…

Developers being paid to make games sounds great. Why is Epic a bad guy for paying developers?

Agreed. Thinking in arrays is very powerful. Simple. Say Unix tools returned JSON. What good is that without a schema? Instead of a parser, let's all write schema transforms?

Still prefer: @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { body { background: #333; filter: invert(.95) hue-rotate(190deg); } } Then let clients choose the strength of the invert and hue.…

What a crock of shit. The failures of the latest Star Wars has nothing to do with a diverse cast. We get it; old, white males (ie. "fans") are pissed. There are good reasons; diver…

> I've read it - notice, by the way, that it was also the conclusion of the original benchmark Unclear. The article's conclusions about spinlocks are completely unfounded by the ar…
