The framework and libraries and information you find on the internet definitely encourages you to go for animations via JS. Might be a holdover from before CSS3, but I'm not sure I've ever seen people really try to use CSS3 for th

Traffic shaping can still occur as they see your data volumes and the networks your connecting to. Sure it might not be as specific to the streaming service, but it should be decently possible to identify other streaming services, and any I

I was thinking the article would be about the deteriorating quality of Slack and the lack of improvement in their facilitation of perusing channels. The article was instead that CEOs don’t want to get talked about behind their back and so a

Let’s call 1 second the threshold for a bare system with an SSD and 4 core CPU at 2Ghz. That gives you 8 billion cycles to start up, trading off with file access, so maybe only 4 billion of those have access to all the data you need in memo

Doesn’t the ImGUI UI library have pretty good accessibility now without sacrificing on memory consumption and performance? JavaScript is difficult to program in a safe way, so I’m going to assume the Messenger app is written in something sa

Caffeine and sugar are drugs with similar strength to alcohol in different mental state directions. You come off as judgmental and full of yourself with that kind of rhetoric. If this is how you talk to partners and customers, you must have

I don’t think they are exclusive, you can be a great engineer that knows all about the algorithms in CS books and keeps up on the latest research in parts of the academic field. They aren’t even different skill sets, just different places t

I wrote a big long article for you, but realized you’d counter with the idea that landlords will collectively decide to hike rents no matter what. So, the simple argument that UBI will not increase minimum rents by 2k a month overnight with

Yeah, it is spending a little more for those rural customers due to additional distance traveled. However, the have been using flat-rate shipping within the US for a long time, so they know the price they need to maintain. Postage is still

Self-documenting code is all code. The only thing that speaks to what a piece of code does is the code. Comments aren’t syntax, so they don’t help you there. I’ve never seen a codebase that does a good job of documenting the system architec

Two things: scaling well in a single node environment necessitates separating concerns such that scaling across nodes won’t suck as much. And, C often cuts down O(n^2) algorithms in python to O(1) because the algorithm is O(1), but Python w

If models actually were able to tell you what they know and don’t know, then sure. But instead they just give you an output for any input you give them, whether they have a clue or not.

Tech debt is something that the engineers left undone because of pressure to finish quicker. The example above is not that. It's the fundamental assumptions getting changed mid-project. The big system was designed with the assumption o

That’s a failing of the education system, not a victory. Math education is absolutely terrible. There’s no building of foundations and fundamental relationships to provide people with easy learning. It only gets worse further up the chain.

College education is just as often useless as well. All that college education money hasn’t gone to teaching staff or classrooms or lecture halls. It’s going to administrative buildings, sports complexes, and dorms. The teaching at colleges

Intel can’t do it. The leader of chip fans for near half a century failed to deliver on this generation of lithography. That’s the level of difficulty we’re talking about.

Normalization and legitimization of opinions as facts when facts don’t suit those opinions. Lots of little cogs in the machine that made that change. But it’s easier to hold an opinion that is factually wrong nowadays. Now that it’s normal

With the wealth of knowledge available, and the slow improvement of online learning, I hope we stop treating college as the place to discover things and improve our knowledge. It’s sometimes an okay way to do it, but is generally one of the

You should just let the password field have kilobytes of data. Throw a warning, but it costs you almost nothing. You don’t have to store the data, processing password hashes is designed to take a long time and use a lot of memory (way more

Work doesn’t inherently mean profits. Labor can be pursued for many reasons, exercise being the next most popular reason to perform work. The most popular one is actually to continue living, which in many cases isn’t all that profitable, wh

I don’t disagree with anything you said. I think it strongly argues for university being highly inefficient compared to optimal education strategies. University cohorts should probably be smaller, with smaller class sizes and more stringent

I find teaching is much less effective without someone there to learn. Part of the benefit is getting asked about things you didn’t realize were important or things that are welded into your mental models. It helps me step back at least. Wr

I’d argue that there’s at least two problems: software is needlessly complex, and no one understands what the computer is doing. You might say that second one is the same, but our model for what a processor is and what it’s doing and how fa

Maybe framing it different might help. “Be honest with yourself and others about how certain you are about your facts, and never state opinions as facts.” If you do this, people will more readily challenge the ideas they have evidence again

Most of the responses focus on how you meet the current requirements. However, the most important thing to know is not actually about current requirements, but future ones. Sure you can assume that all the requirements will change, but then
