I hope you can appreciate that the problem here is that the proposition that you "aren't going to change" is entirely unfalsifiable, reliant on trust, and that the individuals making the proposition are in a position to enfor

That's a very reasonable boundary. Health insurance covers therapy, it's reasonable to expect coworkers routinely exhibiting unacceptable behavior to make use of behavioral therapy and show that they're at least working on t

Hmm. I'm going to go ahead and blame twitter here. I don't see any additional links in the tweet or anything.

Is there more of an explanation? I see a baseless claim without any specificity. I'm not saying it's right/wrong, just that no evidence was presented.

So first of all, thanks for writing the books. I'm a happy customer :) Second, I felt a lot of empathy for this, having gone through a similar situation, ultimately the company getting acquired during the pandemic. I've learned m

Slightly tangential question: Where is jsx defined, as a language? are there multiple transpiler implementations? is it standardized at all?

Commands can have a maximum number of arguments. Try globbing on a directory with millions of files.

My hero! I looked into what it would take to tackle it from the source code, There were some barriers, like the jars not really being published to maven, but the biggest just being the time & energy investment to pick up java again. I&#

I've been learning Alloy[0], which I think is probably more practical for most software engineers. I'm using it with the goal of documenting and decomposing a legacy system that I've been working with for a number of years.

I face this a lot, and I think you have one very valid approach to it that I often employ. Especially if you have some centralized point to make a list of structs, or walk a tree to collect them. I think another other route is to provide l

I really appreciate the simplicity of the DSL presented. I'm curious how you see the project evolving as you add those things. How do you see it differentiating itself from rails or django?

This really stood out to me. Fork a github repo and manually merge in every upstream commit yourself if that's how you want software delivered to you.

This is perhaps the most practically useful thing to come out of academia since the technology that allowed for the leaf blower. They're the worst. A noise pollution posterchild.

I don't think that there's a "win" here. It's just sort of which way you tilt your head, how much space do you have to cram a ton of cores connected to a really wide memory bus and how close can you get the storage

I'm by no means an expert in the topic, but to share my take anyway: It seems to me like there's just diminishing returns in SIMD approaches. If you're going to organize your data well for SIMD use then it's not a far r
