You're misreading the agreement (unless it's changed significantly very recently). Like any non-compete I've ever seen/signed, it only applies to products/services that: > Employee worked on or supported, or abou

Totally fair, but this doesn't clarify why a company like Fast needed to exist. It seems the existing payment processors are able to add this feature rather easily, and I don't see how a new player would be able to get over the in

It's wild to me that "one-click buy" has somehow become a product category. If an online retailer already has your payment info and shipping details, it is trivial to offer a one-click experience, is it not? Couldn't Pay

I got a thunderbolt 4 dock from Razer[0] that has all the bits and bobs (and it looks really nice). Almost bankrupted me, but as the GP says, this is just the reality at this point. [0]: https://www.razer.com/gaming-pc-acces

Google has a paper on their system, Zanzibar: https://research.google/pubs/pub48190/ Doubt it will answer all your questions but I found it interesting.

This is poorly written; words and punctuation are missing all over the place. I don’t understand the git analogy at all. > If we’re extending the definition of web3 to include decentralized software systems We certainly aren’t. Web3 is d

I interviewed with them last year, and literally everyone I spoke to was brilliant. I think a lot of their magic is in hiring great people and having a very flat org chart. They get out of people’s way, and let them do cool shit.

You also get the practical benefits of containers such as a convenient distribution mechanism that is language agnostic (a container registry) and abstracted management of network config like port bindings. You’ll always be able to build a

I can't get past the paywall on the article, but how exactly did he get a bill for an X-ray that totaled $69,000? Much more advanced diagnostics, like CT scans, MRI's, etc. cost a tenth of this. edit: quick google says a full-body

I did no specific compatibility research, because it’s more than likely going to work out of the box with distros like Ubuntu and Fedora, and you can do some work to get things going on distros with less hand holding. It’s an i9-12900k on a

I got an Air last spring, and yeah--it is really quick. Though I will say, my workload didn't see the sort of absurd speedup that some reviewers ogle about. I also still don't have a comfortable dev experience on the M1, because t

Yikes. Not to mention there’s a public record of every ticket you’ve ever purchased. In many ways a blockchain is adtech done worst.

I think you were misunderstanding something. Why would every code change cause a compile and test across the entire company? That is to say; not only does that not scale, it’s totally unnecessary*. Only the downstream consumers of a change

What’s the right number of lives to destroy from CSAM? There’s a middle ground between doing nothing and totalitarianism. “Destroyed lives” from false positives are at this point hypothetical. Child abuse is not. It’s fair to be concerned a

Does google actually save this payment information for use in subsequent transactions? Or is it just used as part of the age verification process?

That isn’t how Docker Desktop works, there’s one VM.
289.
by cmckn 5y ago
Nope. You can certainly do that; but “the right way” is to add your sources and compile them (as necessary) during the image build; and then treat the container as an “application”, not as an “environment”. This is how any sane production s

The filesystem performance within the VM is the same; the issue only arises/arose when mounting from macOS into the VM. To each their own, of course; but there’s no real perf difference between rolling your own and using Docker for Mac

Sorry, what do you think Docker for Mac does? It’s exactly what you’ve described, with more ease of use and features like volume mounts from your Mac into the VM (which this post talks about optimizing). Your approach requires lots more fid

Yup, it's unfortunate that he took this kind of risk without having his t's crossed and i's dotted. The experiment could have been much more informative.

I can’t say I disagree. Lucene is a beautiful, scientific thing; but ES is an increasingly-complex mess of opaque API’s and broken promises. Search engines are really, really hard. There is so much room for something better, more full-featu

Feature bloat, bad documentation, API models that are nearly inscrutable. Backwards-incompatible changes are constant, requiring reindexing. I’d like to see the architecture re-thought to include an indexer, like Apache Druid. I’d like to s

Honestly elasticsearch is kind of a mess these days, I’m pretty excited to see where Amazon takes it. Hopefully we all have a better, truly open-source search engine to use in the future.

I think he's correct that the failure mode was pretty awful. Silence isn't a great approach for failures in your cash flow. But, I agree with you that at least some of this can be chalked up to a botched integration, and that he p

I think linters are just as helpful for 10 lines as they are for 1000. I (try to) use style checks and formatters for anything and everything I version-control, especially when there’s more than one person working on it concurrently.
