I've worked at a few different FAANG's (including this one). I've participated in some of these engineering blog posts. They will never tell you anything that is real-world relevant for you. At best, you might get some kind

What is foolish? We know that the EU is entirely sustained by Russia, USA, and China. Nearly all the energy, technology, and everything else.

Manufacturing what though? Certainly not technology. We know they're not trying to build their own compute clouds to compete with AWS or Microsoft. Or OpenAI. They're not even trying to compete with Nvidia. The EU's entir

I see some car companies there. A few Nordic oil companies. Are there others? edit: Nestle and Dior if you want some candies and fragrances, I guess.

It's like when people started to freak out about the "pitch clock" and how it was ruining baseball. The thing is, the pitch clock _always_ existed in the rulebook, it was just never enforced due to lack of technology and jus

I don't think the headline is misunderstanding anything. These things are both true: > C and C++ Prioritize Performance over Correctness > C/C++ date from an era where "correctness" in the sense the author means wa

> 2. Good luck breaking out of your AWS instance into the hypervisor. It doesn't take luck. Just skill, resources, and motivation. Like we already saw happen to the iOS "sandbox".

> memory safety is not a great concern on phones because applications are sandboxed. And that's correct. If an application is stuck in a sandbox it doesn't matter what that process does within its own process space. Smartphones

Describing rust programmers as "zealots" also has no place in a technical discussion.

Is regularly getting together with friends and playing games a cure for loneliness? Is that what this is asking?

Not to mention Musk was an original co-founder, left, and then just recently tried to buy it back. It's all shady-as-fuck.

There really weren't any "gems" at all during that era of MacBooks just because they all had that awful chiclet keyboard that was possibly the worst keyboard of all time.

So much of the software industry is just an outrageous combination of inexperience and "YOLO". Every problem can be solved by just giving AWS another $100,000 this month because we don't have time (and don't know how) t

Many years ago, I wrote a pcap/tcpdump parser in pure bash, because it's all I knew how to write "programs" with. It was, of course, the slowest and most brittle thing of all time, but it did actually work. And was kin

Nobody in America cares about the slaves in China, or Vietnam. They only care whether their spatula costs $3 or $7.

Tariffs are just taxes on poor people. Everything becomes more expensive. You want to spend $3 on a plastic spatula at Target? Well now that costs $7.

There is more benefit to a vibrant downtown city center than just "white collar" people visiting everyday. Bars, restaurants, cafes. People go to the post office, they go to salons. All of those things are gone now. In exchange

I enjoy working from home. But I'm not going to deny that it has had a catastrophic impact on the downtown business and commercial districts in many small and medium-sized cities. Those places stuggled badly with lockdown in general
