Usually the passive voice is used at work to emphasize that it was a team/consensus decision, adjacent to the blameless incident management culture. It’s not important that one engineer or PM pushed it, but that…
IMO the backlash against LLMs is more philosophical, a lot of people don’t like them or the idea of one learning from their content. Unless your website has some unique niche information unavailable anywhere else…
Some are kind to eng ICs, you’re not laid off from the company just given time to join another team. As you can still be a high-performer with context on company culture/tech stack while on a non-revenue-generating team.
Since Netflix never (edit: rarely) releases Blu-Rays for their original content, there's no source to produce high-quality versions of their 4K content right? Could be wrong but I thought webrips that screen capture are…
That's cute. Also just reading the first part "Drone captures narwhals using their tusks..." my mind jumped to a more sinister interpretation, poachers using drones to spot and hunt narwhals by recognizing tusks with…
I'm curious, why? The startup connection is disclosed in the third sentence so it's not particularly hidden. And at least if it's a real product they're putting their money where their mouth, you can check out their…
Doesn’t seem like the author is recursively building solutions, so this doesn’t work.
IMO legacy code is code that has lots of if statements and special cases sprinkled in over the years to enable new features quickly and get out immediate hotfixes for bugs without doing full refactors and/or data…
Wow this is a great formulation. I’ve started becoming senior more recently, for most code I’ve become pretty good now at making the tradeoff of how much refactoring to do versus a quick hack based on risk. Sometimes…
All Bluetooth technology is licensed, no? Then it's still the fault of Bluetooth if not only is their protocol so difficult for many or most manufacturers to get right, and their qualification process doesn't enforce…
Detection algorithms can be less useful in general if they're public and open source, eg. website operators sometimes mass ban on a delay so they can trap a lot of misbehaving users and don't immediately tip off the…
Deepfake is a pejorative not because of the artistic value of the AI but because of the ethnical concerns that spring to mind around one's ownership of their own likeness, and how the tech can be used for deepfake porn…
Subreddits sometimes split the difference by dedicating a single day of the week where something is allowed, eg. only allowing you to post questions on Fridays, or creating threads to consolidate off-topic discussion.
> Most handwriting is legible to its owner. Not necessarily, I'd be surprised if I could fully understand my old handwritten notes from when I was in school (years ago), since I've always had messy handwriting and no…
Email is a dated form of communication, that's why every other message platform will let you just like and heart stuff.
Hmm I've never thought of any Olympic victory as being attributed in part to like, the current President, and I'd be surprised if anyone thought that would be the case. But it's not dubious that Americans (including…
I think I did understand that when it comes to MKVs since it was popular for anime precisely because of its support for newer x265 codecs. So there is some connection between container and codec, in that not all…
That's unnecessarily flippant, even if it were just an ffmpeg wrapper do you imagine every person is a software developer who knows how to use the command line? This is clearly geared toward content creators. And even…
