There was an old java image manipulation API that I remember that had an API that looked like apply(Object o1) apply(Object o1, Object o2) apply(Object o1, Object o2, Object o3) Etc All the way out to 7 or 8 paramete

The majority of people who use Twitter use the algorithmic feed. HackerNews posters are not the typical Twitter users. (Just to be clear I personally hate the algorithmic feed but there are lots of use cases for it that just don't alig

Found it, in response to me saying Twitter was dead but it just didn't realise it yet a poster said "i'm favoriting this so i can come back to it, like that dropbox comment." Delicious.

I think I had someone do the old sarcastic "remind me of this in one year" under one of my posts predicting technical doom for Twitter. Definitely a good one to revisit.

It is a testament to the engineers of old Twitter that their systems stayed standing for as long as they did.

It will mean compute resources that can be transparently shared amongst different things (which is where the K8s comes in) as opposed to boxes dedicated to a single service.

I got a bit suspicious when I could only find the most recent year figures for the Finnish power plants but having now found the life time figures they are still incredibly impressive at ~88% for Loviisa and ~92% for Olkiluoto. In the UK yo

There is unscheduled down time as well. Almost invariably the planned down time stretches out far longer than planned. See the UK and France over the last few years for recent examples.

This is a vital comment that people need to understand. It is _effort_ to moderate content, to read answers and see if they are legitimate. It is almost zero effort to chatgpt out "answers". The people providing the ChatGPT answer

Let me tell you your mind is going to be blown once you learn about Monads. A mutable object is functionally identical to a return value if you control the initial state and lifetime of the object. Like you can do in a unit test. And as I

blink Of course you can make the function with a print statement more unit testable without completely changing it's semantics! You pass in an outputstream and use that as the target for print. Then your unit test can create its own

It has wrapped range() with useless code. It has added no functionality, it has not improved testability in any way. . Please, take the code it has produced and integrate it into the original function. All it does is replace the range call.

You do get that that code is garbage and if any dev tried to check that code in they would get laughed out of the room right? It is pure pablum. It is almost the perfect example of LLMs producing fluent vapid bilge.

My opinion is that having a version is fine buy only if a version field is built into the spec. Without that your config file is a boobytrap, with it everything is fine and your parsing libraries can even be backwards compatible.
