I admit I was harboring a small hope that someone from GitHub / Microsoft might see the criticism here (not just mine) and that it might help reduce the frequency with which that sort of sales person tries to communicate with their mar

That's not a property of "basic" state machines, right? Their transition doesn't depend on the history, just on current state and perhaps an event. So it's not clear why you're bringing that up when you were as

Could you list some of the assumptions that you're skeptical about? I think that would help stress-test the author's claims about applying evolutionary theory to AI. Note that the full version of the puece is https://ar

This is a short version of a much longer piece: https://arxiv.org/abs/2303.16200 The long piece is still aimed at a non-expert audience and can be read incrementally. The author takes a lot of care to attempt to justif

The answer is basically: America has managed to make race and socioeconomic status incredibly highly correlated, especially in its large coastal cities where basically all poor people are non-white. It's nothing like, for example, Nort

And probably to state the obvious, this is to help use cases where UX is negatively impacted by the latency of client <-> server RPCs/Http requests? Are the proponents of "the edge" as a concept motivated largely by con

by da39a3ee 3y ago
Can someone remind me, what is "edge"? It it hosting server-side applications in a position in the network topology that minimizes latency to end users? Or is it that, but for static resources (so similar to the concept of CDN)?

What are you referencing? Did someone make Martin Fowler do a leetcode-style interview? (I wouldn't be against that, just curious.)

You might be missing the fact that WASM nowadays doesn't necessarily have anything to do with web browsers. It was initially designed for running in web browsers, but in the last few years there's been a lot of activity surroundin

I was being a bit rude but what I was trying to say is that IMO it's a bit immature to work in a meeting at all: if you're working then you will work better not in the meeting, and if you have to speak up when required then how ca

by da39a3ee 3y ago
That looks immature. Much better to state to the group that you can see that your participation isn't benefitting the company and that you are going to go and do something that will.

This seems like quite a lot (but not all) of stuff you should be able to teach yourself; I'd say university classes should focus on more challenging/profound topics.

I really like the writing in the intro, but having "Horrible Search (of Slack)" as the first item in the justification for the entire product is a really bad idea and seriously weakens the argument. The trouble is that, even thoug

Hi, I think English isn't your first language so, first, let me point out that telling someone "I'm not sure what your point is" comes across as rude and aggressive. I wasn't "making a point". I was asking

Can you explain more? Copying with a mouse selection, of by piping into something? You shouldn't get ANSI escapes either way.

I'm sure mermaid is nice but if you haven't tried https://swimlanes.io/ then you're really missing out! It's fantastically low friction; so much so that you can use it as a thinking aid.
