I wonder if you could serialize all that, and make a new "Enhanced Bookmark" Actually, that would be a really cool directory service.

Your basically just talking about an empty shell. Used parts are an active market so anything useful is stripped off and sold. After you crash it you just send it to the aluminum smelter, which would have been it's fate anyways. No rea

Interesting, wouldn't have expected that given the relative lack of spice. As an aside, if you get to Greenwich, go get some fish and chips from the Golden Chippy. Best I've had in England.

In jest I like to describe British native food as follows: When people are starving, they're willing to eat things they otherwise would throw away. Unfortunately the British decided the PREFERRED those things, and attempt to make every

Right, I can imagine if you wrap memory allocation correctly you can do that. But CPUs have finite memory, so a program can guess where it sits in the real physical memory, and from that derive a potential list of programs that already exis

Yeah, Pret is forever centered in my mind as airport food too. Probably because the first one I saw was in one.

How would you do things like ASLR and prevent people from guessing other software's memory allocation? Resetting a processes base pointer to 0 hides the information about other processes in the system that in a multi-tenant system you

Not worry about it? It's not like he can see it anyways, it's encrypted on the client.

You can totally do the six filters once a year, that's how I usually do it, but the smoke is destroying filters pretty quickly. If you want minimal brain power, getting them every 3-months (or what your normal cycle is) is fairly optim

It's not super easy to be in the filters subscription business. People have odd size filters (I'm one of them, it's 1" shorter than the standard size), so it's a bit labor intensive. This is the sort of thing you sh

What do you think about the UK G plug?

Erlang is interesting too here, in that it basically works the same way (unification essentially via substitution). If you can't make it work, a program exception is thrown instead of a false language. This all makes sense since prolog

Slack is really poorly built for async workflows though. That's why in my product I have all communication be async, and figure out who needs to get notifications (also async) from their role in the interaction. For example, if you&#x2

by bfuclusion 6y ago
Both suck when you actually want any structure or have to go back later to figure out what happened. You need to structure your communication more than free form text. For example, is that email a question? A suggestion? Maybe it's a r

The right way to do this is the way Prolog does it. It doesn't matter if you say VAR = 12 or 12 = VAR or 1,2,10 = A, B, C It does whatever it takes to make the left and the right sides equivalent to each other.

I mean that works if all you want is to rise to middle management. When you start having actual revenue or project goals then that method falls apart.

by bfuclusion 6y ago
What you don't get on remote work is the manager going around to your cube and saying "work on this" with no record of it happening. Since they have to communicate via things which leave logs, and you have to communicate what

Right. Estimating before you even know what you _don't_ know is tea leaf reading. It's better to ask the person who wants it done "how much is this worth to you", or "what's my budget to get this done", an

At this point, it should just be a machine. It's not too hard to figure out somebody's role, and from there you can decide who to alert.

Async is the way to go here. The only time an engineer should have to care what time zone somebody is in is when it's an actual emergency.

by bfuclusion 6y ago
Right. Dispatching work with slack is like trying to command an army via town crier. Not a great experience.

This thread basically enumerates why I started my company. Manual control of workflow and keeping up to speed is at best a waste of time. I want my _Computer_ to do the boring repetitive crap.

Yeah, which is why I stick with it even though they just butchered a few areas of the UI (most notably the home screen). Fortunately they seem to be listening to reviews and fixing things.

When I stopped coding, and started thinking. Turns out hacked together stuff is slower to produce than thinking overnight and getting it right.
