Interesting! Would you mind elaborating?
Exactly! It seems to understand enough about what the commands mean and is able to carry the context forward even if it isn't exactly executing them. Sure someone must have posted online about ls and rm, but a jumbled…
I don't recall correctly but there was this patent/paper discussing how Facebook (& perhaps a few others) use the EXIF data to confirm and expand your social graph. I guess processing the pictures already gives them…
This is what's so surprisingly scary about time value of money to me. Many "spectacular" investments that double or triple money over a decade or 2 are simply not all that great if you just calculate the annualized…
Sent in a SQL command deleting multiple million records (intended) wrapped in a single transaction (not intended). The replication queues could not keep up and failed, bringing down most of the replicas. Master server…
I believe it is when you review your colleagues, they review you and your manager collates all the reviews to access your performance. Some places allow you to nominate who you want to provide your review, perhaps…
Yep. It was supposed to be a very small change. I blundered. My team understood that and was super supportive about it all too. But this was after it was all fixed. During the outage though, no one (obviously) had time…
Welp, as a new grad there, I had brought down one very important database server on a Sunday night (a series of really unfortunate events). Multiple senior DBAs had to be involved to resuscitate it. It started…
For a second I legit thought Google banned my account for some reason. And I don't like it that I feel relieved..
I am sorry, but that hasn't been my experience at all. Both on Windows and Android. I've noticed that Firefox eats up far more memory than chrome with way lesser open tabs on both the platforms. I've had tabs die on me…
And I was surprised to know that this has made its way into hiring! So, the job hunt is going to get even more superfluous? Really reminds me of that Episode in Black Mirror, where everything depends on your rating..
Or maybe they should secretly ship the shirts with a large "spam PR" written on it for those who raised spammy PRs.
A lot of those accounts also seem to be created just a few hours before October 1st. Can GitHub time gate new accounts before that can make public PRs?
I am an Indian, and I've studied at an Indian university for my undergraduate degree, and I've witnessed spam like this everywhere. Not hacktoberfest, but I've been a part of it myself for some of the other things. Wish…
This. I've given up trying to figure out new ways to get around all the censorship. Not to mention, the current govt. has proven that it's ready to use any excuse to take punitive action against any citizen it disagrees…
This is something that bothers me a bit. On my PC memory usage spikes even after having tabs open for a short while. I've recently shifted to Firefox and I noticed that after opening 10-15 tabs on about 3 separate…
If you have an account you can set this as the default. old.reddit.com + RES works really well for me. I really hope old.reddit.com does not go away.
Amazing book. Truly astounding sequence of events. Greatest irony of all, they named their firm "Long-term Capital Management", while taking hugely leveraged short-term positions ($1 trillion dollars worth of…
Nothing like being a n00b on Runescape and getting scammed of your entire bank by players "glow1:wave: Doubling Money" at the GE.
Ahh GTA Vice City brings up some memories. Back then, me and my friends in the building started the game at around the same time. We loved discussing the game every morning on the bus to school. Eventually we reached…
I am all for cheaper and accessible internet, but I have a few concerns. On pricing, the incumbents really needed a jolt with their terrible pricing. But I think Jio went a little too far. It achieved all that it has by…
Highcharts too? I checked if they had tree shaking, but apparently not https://github.com/highcharts/highcharts/issues/8667
Smart contracts are smart enough to allow formation of groups of devs, form a vote and disperse funds. Devs who are directly responsible for maintaining a portion of code can vote if the contributed code solves the…
I am not sure if it isn't. Among other things, transactions are not cheap, as they were supposed to be. The chain supporters are trying to pivot the whole thing as "Store of Value" which it isn't supposed to be. It does…
Not sure if this is entirely right but I think technical decentralization depends on its participants making conscious decisions to react to events, but that doesn't happen and somehow you need to assign higher weight…
