Why should I trust a social network company with my government ID when often they can’t even keep my password secure? Or why would I want to use a social network with onerous signup terms?

It is not really clear which type of "fake" they are - if it is non-Amazon-employees making a parody, or someone at Amazon making a not-really-existing persona: > It is unclear whether the accounts are real employees, bots or t

So? I subscribe to individual authors who happen to be on Substack, not to Substack or all newsletters on its platform in general.

now imagine you have 10,000 containers you want to run across 5000 VMs. Kubernetes solves that for you so you aren’t deploying each of those individually.

Sure, but also sometimes the only way to learn is to ask.

The other half of needing to use a build system that understands the dependency graph like Bazel is that Bazel _keeps state_, so that it knows which part of the graph does not need to be re-built when you push commit B because it was alread

The post also presents a false choice between what’s known as “the singleton pattern” versus just allocating a single instance of the object and passing it around where needed: > We don’t write a lot of these because our code doesn’t fol

I agree you should know what you are calling when writing code, but there is also a need for people to read the code and understand what the behavior will be. My impression is that C++ relies a lot on implicit knowledge.

As someone new to C++, it seems endlessly confusing that you are supposed to know if a function call is making a copy vs a move by figuring out the signature of the function being called or knowing which one the compiler picks, rather than

Well that’s what academics and research scientists do - publish research and give talks at conferences.

Why can’t you install multiple versions of the compiler on the system? This seems like a poor design choice that could be easily solvable if you move outside the “only run what the distribution blesses” idea.

Perhaps consider how trustworthy that “report” was that it got such simple facts wrong.

The very article you linked to contradicts your telling of the events here. She voluntarily withdrew from her high school and the college rescinded her acceptance months before the article was published.

The timeline you present here is all wrong. The article itself says that her college acceptance was rescinded, meaning it came before this article. The article was published in December 2020 and these events happened in June 2020: > The

The dilemma though is that a clear statement of “we are running out of cash” would start a run of customers transferring their money and cashing out, cash RH didn’t have.

The “multi-decade high” here is the highest in 20 years, which is two decades - a time of historically low crime. “Multi-decade” sounds like a much longer range than two decades.

That’s not what they’re saying, they offer virtualization services, not Linux as a service.
