I discovered their podcast a month ago and binged through the backlog -- it's one of the best technology podcasts of all time! Really like the way these folks think and communicate!

I also tend to enjoy the spaces / service ... it seems like could be a bit short sighted of commercial real estate loan holders to let it shutter ... seems like a consortium of lenders with commercial real estate holdings could/sh

I used a technique like this a few years back in a production product ... We had an integration partner (who we had permission to integrate with) that offered a different api for integration partners than was used for their website but whi

As much as I hate to say it -- I really think there is no room for the white house to negotiate on this. The reality is, appeasing the terroristic political element here only perpetuates a deeply corrupted "budgeting" process --

It's hard to imagine how anyone can view collocation of stock buybacks, employee layoffs/comp reductions and ceo pay raise as evidence of "good management". So far there's a lot of talk about how ai will end lower-l

I have the same issue with slack and any facebook app frequently -- especially if you type, delete, type quickly. I think there must be some damn crdt within the draft edits feature that causes the final state not to match exactly what wou

I'm wondering what is going to happen to the banking sector as the commercial real estate apocalypse starts to manifest in full ... banks have a lot of interest bearing loans for commercial real estate that is going to continue turning

Anybody want to predict how the market will react to this? My take is that it will be a negative response. They've already shed a lot of workforce -- at this point they are still facing revenue growth loss more than they'll save

Who is commenting on this and what will they say??! 1-2 trillion tokens of training for gptx class models It would take 20 years for a human to read that many tokens at 8 hrs of reading per day (although i'm pretty unclear on whether t

It's crazy to me that no other hardware company has sought to compete for the deep learning training/inference market yet ... The existing ecosystems (cuda, pytorch etc) are all pretty garbage anyway -- aside from the massive numb

I really enjoy Software Unscripted by Richard Feldman. He interviews well-spoken programmers and skill leaders from a variety of language ecosystems -- and usually the guests share his appreciation for simple, strongly typed, functional an

I think "zero-copy" is the actual gem which might actually move us closer to making more of our systems have "less visible" plumbing. There's always going to be plumbing somewhere and it's not so actually dir

Yah which is exactly why this response is not going to work. The issue right now with "full employment" is incentive based -- after covid large numbers of people opted out of the jobs available to them because they finally recogni

I can't think of a program more dangerous than one which intercepts and has option to receives every byte read from the filesystem -- while also having its own arbitrary network access ... the idea that employing such a tool could eve

Aside from any quirks in the rendering model -- at a more fundamental level I can't imagine what apple is thinking with the observable object data modeling approach -- and what [seems to be plans]( https://forums.swift.org&#x

My big problem with the high frame rate in the hobbit was the slack of camera stability -- I think whatever image stabilization solution they used performed very poorly for that film -- not sure what went wrong but always hypothesized it wa

I've wanted this for awhile as well. Squash only merges, which are enforceable in github, get you close but leave you without any automated way to determine if a given branch was ever merged to main or not ...

How/when do changes propagate to clients? Do clients cache the contents they read forever ?

$465 million for one season of TV seems very expensive. But $465 million as part of the bootstrapping/rnd budget for some new gpu-adjacent compute offering would be pretty easy to justify ... and potentially being able to move some of

wow I couldn't disagree more ... the search/replace interface of atom is the thing I missed the most from atom when I migrated to vscode ... vscode _has_ added an non-sidebar find interface somewhat similar to the atom one -- but

There's no reason for layoffs to be time-correlated if that is the reason. Unless you think the sports analogy is strong enough to support ideas like "seasons"? Dream team reasoning should ideally be applied semi-randomly --

I used to do Oceanographic research and we had a piece of equipment called a "shipboard gravimeter" originally built in the 1950s. It was basically a very sensitive spring in a gyro stabilized platform attached to a bunch of analo

I tend to think it's going to succeed. Node is already getting displaced (by various server runtimes that hew more closely to the browser) - the true future of javascript remains where it has always been -- the browser. "browser

Is anyone still using the class keyword in javascript or typescript? private field syntax doesn't matter in the first place if you don't use class {} anywhere ... I feel like most of the typescript code i've been in recently

How good is `debug.gem`? I'd be excited to try it if I was still using ruby ... I'm not using ruby anymore but the debugger experience I had from vscode via the rdebug-ide library a few years ago was _mostly pretty_ nice aside fr

Just because I haven't seen it called out anywhere ... I have an actual compliment about Monterey -- its a change which stood out to me as a major sign that perhaps old flaws are starting to become eligible to be fixed again - despite
