My one mega-annoyance is no mute button. Not being able to mute a Zoom call (or a phone call) using just the Airpod hardware interface is... annoying. I don't use Siri that often and would honestly remap long click as mute/unmute.

The short-short is: how to manage granular config for over 10k customers, 500k users and still make dev, pe, support and pmo happy. Lots of performance optimizations discussion and some interesting (to me at least) requirement analysis. AMA

Any system with a limited amount of concepts is simple. Emergent properties are easy to predict and explore. Physics of "perfect friction-less sphere in vacuum" is so easy to understand we teach in grade schools and toddlers grasp

The way I tried to understand Git at first was like Subversion. Horrible. I almost deleted everything my team worked on for weeks. Then I read "git inside out" [1] (not to be confused by "git from the bottom up" which I

afaik, the commit a tag points to is immutable unless you delete and recreate (and then nothing is immutable really). re "ride" - that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid. It's an additional concept that isn't n

Like a lot of things Linus, it's very pretentious and aloof but right at the core of it. Code matters a lot and bad code can tank performance, stop evolution and introduce security issues. But with Git, this is a mostly truthful statem

Ugh. So many concepts. So many things to remember. Why? Git is simple. SIMPLE. But only, IMO, if you go bottom-up and not top-down. There are only 6 critical concepts in Git and each is simple enough to be described in a single sentence. 1.

> Correct: ... Is it performant enough for this use case? I completely agree with that definition of correct. Code should be performant _enough_ for the use case. It shouldn't strive for the unachievable "infinite performance&q

Forgot to mention - writes also invalidated the cache locally so maintain “read your own writes” for multi step algorithms. That was crucial for us and I suspect for a lot of other use cases.

Interesting. I built something somewhat similar about 2 years ago (not big on blogging so it’s not published - probably end up hurting my career :( ) The gist is using pubsub to send invalidation messages consisting of item ID and time stam

I used export LC_COLLATE=C export LANG=C to gain several orders of magnitude sorting through 6TB of data by 2 GUID-sized fields. Default collation is terribly slow compared to ascii only.

Wow. You can always count on the internets to provide cheap philosophy. You can predict a crime, just like you can't predict where a drop of rain will fall. But when the weatherman says "80% chance of rain in the north", I'll be sure to tak
