I guess I am too humanist to believe this sort of rhetoric is not callous. I know people who lost their jobs in that layoff. It hurts a lot of families. Companies should think about organizational bloat during hiring. If their revenues are

As a native upstate new yorker, I root for the success of GlobalFoundries. But it was exceedingly frustrating to me that they went and did layoffs in 2022 despite their booming revenues and incoming subsidies [0]. It seems to me there shoul

A lot of uncalled for pessimism here in the comments. If python folks reading haven’t used ruff yet, i can highly recommend it. The astral folks have proven themselves to me already. Looking forward to more and more of their rust built pyth

What kind of idiomatic code generation is there in Go?

by capital_guy 3y ago
Yes, and the flip side of that is you require people to have and use Google accounts to access public data? That’s not exactly ideal.

I see a lot of pessimism about this product online. I think the opportunities for entertainment, namely gaming, are huge. The work stuff, I don't really see why Apple is pushing that. I just don't see wanting to edit spreadsheets

and the WSJ is one of those subscription companies that uses dark patterns. When I had WSJ ~2 years ago, there was a separate page for people living in California where you could click to cancel, and everyone else had to jump through hoops.

This was exactly what happened. Rob Pike mentioned in another talk that they overfitted the pre-module system to how Google deals with packages. So I think he/they have conceded this was a mistake

I wonder if people know this is just an entirely unhelpful view on the subject.

I don’t think that it’s that judges are scared of big tech. I think the antitrust teachings from the 80s and 90s were Reagan (Bork) style philosophies which have since become outdated. But federal judges are often older folks and probably l

bit.io was a 4 day work week company before being acquired by databricks [0]. not sure if they kept that afterwards, seems unlikely https://www.databricks.com/blog/welcoming-bit-io-databricks-...

There's a strong bias toward AI in this showcase. My favorite websites are ones that have a lot of hand-made love built into them.

I think its a screenshot from a commit in github/gitlab. I hate how gitlab makes the code viewer tiny in the review screen

by capital_guy 3y ago
Yeah, this is where it really gets painful. CI/CD systems like GitLab don't include linters for their yaml configs so you're just shooting in the dark trying to get it work for push after push. it's a terrible way to mak

I agree that Chopra is excellent at his job. Unfortunately, It's still in danger of being dissolved. The Supreme Court is hearing a case in October challenging the legality of the agency's funding mechanism. https://en.

I think they lost a lot of goodwill in 2.x with Flux and subsequently abandoning the thing they were pushing so hard. They also now have 4-5 different names for the same piece of technology in its various incarnations

This is a really nice little guide. Much thanks to the author. Sometimes you just need to hit a bunch of APIs independently and don't want to switch your entire architecture around to do so.

I kinda feel they should give a bit more detail in these release notes. Did the first security patch fail to fix the vulnerability? Or is it a new thing? I guess I see why they would want to wait but, it does feel weird having two emergency

This is a ridiculous take. Imperfect is better than bad. Right now you have the Speaker of the House's husband buying $5million worth of Alphabet call options. That's not a good system.

I am amazed to see people defending AMZN in these threads. They are so obviously monopolistic with such a plethora of problems with the way the treat consumers, workers, businesses, and the planet. More power to the FTC -- just wish they ha

Thanks for stopping in. I've been seeing a lot of InfluxDB 3.0 content in the past few days. It would be helpful for me at least to see more comparison between 2.x and 3.0? Not sure if there is a changelog or list of things that were a

Some of the members of congress are totally falling for Altman's gambit. Sen. Graham kept asking about how a licensing regime would be a solution, which of course Altman loves, and kept interrupting Ms. Montgomery who tried to explain

I've just checked it out and it's much closer to a Twitter clone than I anticipated. Now it's clear why Elon made the drastic decision to mess with substack links on Twitter. The site is clean and simple. I'm very disapp

As some others are noting - the article is extremely disappointing. A huge number of software developers are wary of this stuff because we know how telemetry works, how operating systems degrade over time, how internet connectivity is its o
