Much as I liked the books, enjoyed the most recent movies, big fan of Herbert; lining up the Pandora books to reread next. Etc.... people tend to read too much into his world building. Mostly he was just looking for…
TFA has a point that it should never have happened, and that CF software engineering practices are likely to blame. But a BCNF (or 5NF or whatever) database without nullable columns wouldn't have prevented it. Formally…
Haunting images. Plenty of blind spots today that might be looked back on similarly.
Yup, we've all been cornered at a party by that dude, the one who has all these great contrarian ideas he got from reading books. And listening to podcasts. And reading blog posts like this one.
The npm ecosystem's approach to supply chain security is criminally negligent. For the critical infrastructure that underpins the largest attack surface on the Internet you would think that this stuff would be priority…
Echoing a lot of users ITT, Windows has been good to me but the enshittification has reached what feels like the end point. Windows value to me was "everything just worked". But that's no longer the case now, unless you…
Sounds about right. These kids have been on camera since they were in the womb. The delivery had a pro videographer. Parents had baby monitors with a video feed, later a nanny cam. Schools had cameras in the classrooms…
i would contend that they are no worse than the original teams, who also clearly didn't care. their motivations may have been growth rather than AI training data but the outcomes were the same
Only vibe-coding influencers were ever talking about 10x multipliers. Internally we expected 15%-25%. A big-3 consultancy told senior leadership "35%-50%" (and then tried to upsell an AI Adoption project). And indeed we…
Nah, this lays out what everyone knows going in and leaves out what you really need to know as a newby. Budget. Getting some for your team or at least for your priorities. Protecting what you get. Capex vs Opex. Upward…
The author puts the BLUF: "The actual bottlenecks were, and still are, code reviews, knowledge transfer through mentoring and pairing, testing, debugging, and the human overhead of coordination and communication."…
Shouldn't it be called "Fuckbrain" then?
Yeah your small business doesn't need to be a unicorn. But your small business that a VC has bought part of does.
You can't really "take deposits and issue loans" without just becoming a bank yourself. People start new banks all the time. Or by "disrupting" does he just mean "end run around the laws and regulations"?
Yet another article that purports to show concern for artists being exploited by big bad streaming providers, but is in fact written out of concern for the record labels and distributors who are no longer able to…
yeah matches my experience
I've used similar approaches to play sports fantasy games (casually) since 2009. Using LP solvers like this team selection games, and an ELO+regression approach for score/margin prediction games. Mostly as a way to beat…
Interesting but this page reads like a marketing piece. The discourse around VCSs is mature and you should BLUF with where yours sits in the spectrum of alternatives. What is the repository model and the concurrency…
There are a lot of other good answers here. My 2c: People will use all kinds of tactics to get their way. Putting you under time pressure, bombarding you with a stream of precise facts and figures, making you feel slow…
Until one of your IO destinations develops some latency. Or your workflow adds a few more sync IOs into each request. Or you suddenly run outta threads. Then even if you're only at millions per month you've probably got…
I clicked the link and watched a bit thinking that the whole thing was a quality AI production. I thought that the visuals and audio were really believable and well synced but the script was just a little too…
The issue is really that "Usability" in the sense of "helping people achieve their goals" isn't really a priority for most of these vendors. When they talk about "usability" they really mean: engagement, retention,…
It's annoying when organisations bork your name, but how does this relate to GDPR?
The combination of all? I want one thing... But anyway, yeah. I have seen emacs power users and there is indeed cool stuff there. Don't know that I have the strength to invest to become a power user though.
One trusts he's not too dumb to protect his webapp from the OWASP top 10
