Nope, if every person does things completely differently, that's just a lack of technical leadership. Leaders pick an approach with tradeoffs that meet organizational goals and help their team to follow it.

No it doesn't. Simple and targeted solutions are not bad code. For example, start with a single postgres instance on a single machine, rather than Hadoop clusters and Kubernetes. Once that is maxed out, you will have time and money to

This load is well handled by a Postgres instance and 15-25k thrown at hardware.

Configuring debugged, optimized software, with a shell script is orders of magnitude cheaper than developing novel software.

ANSI Common Lisp was criticized when it came out for having a bloated standard library and feature set. It’s not extensive like python, but it’s not C.

This is an odd question. Web services are great with CL. But you already have languages you prefer. So yes, you must be interested in CL to want to replace one of those.

It will work just fine.

For typical projects you just need a handful. In other programming languages that means code generation or macro hell. So it is nice that it’s built into the language to do it properly, even if you only use it for those few things.

Sounds like a deal honestly. I’ll fast forward a few years of equity to mind my own business. I’m not trying to get into journalism

Because in work places they are trying to make money. We want the most impact for the least effort. There is absolutely a place for the kind of craftsmenship your are describing, but if you don’t understand the incentives of your workplace

Updated from his twitter: apple apparently confirmed i am right and that it’s not exploitable in real user software. Still outraged?

by citizen_friend 2y ago
The public isn’t outraged. It’s mostly journalists and a tiny vocal minority. Its as ridiculous as saying Microsoft is support terrorism because they use computers running windows. You bring up a good point about regulators though. That pro

The simplest thing that might work (and did work up until about 2015) is to not police customer data.

Yep. It explains why he didn’t get paid.

by citizen_friend 2y ago
Well. He knows more about the exploit. Maybe he could tell us what it is.

by citizen_friend 2y ago
Yep, that was in the tweet. Got any more info about the exploit or why it’s not in their categories? I presume some in the list did received bounties?

by citizen_friend 2y ago
So are we going to take this twitter post at face value? Anyone have more info?

What benefits will open source give you? Just keep it closed if you don’t have a good answer.

Wasm + canvas might be the worst longevity and robustness.

by citizen_friend 2y ago
Yes. And the latest iteration of JavaScript/canvas has had longevity, but it doesn’t have the robustness of a JPEG. What you describe would be interesting.

My gut reaction to this sort of thing is that textbooks work great and have a timeless quality. But with a little more thought, they certainly aren't optimal. Being able to see a video, hear a sound, or play with a figure can be powerf

The root of this thread is arguing that the musical instruments are sacred and deserving of symbolic respect.

by citizen_friend 2y ago
I mostly agree. My point is I don’t think the audience here would give the same empathy to flag burning, Christian trolling etc. just want to be clear if these are the gods we worship here

If you think of yourself as skeptical, agnostic, materialist. I don’t understand how you can be upset about cheap in-animate objects get destroyed for an entertaining video.
