My biggest complaint is that it doesn’t keep a history! One misclicked “remember password” at the wrong moment (safari plugin often guesses password fields wrong) and you’ve just locked yourself out of your bank account. Literally happened

Considering peanut allergies are ~1:50 - 1:200, that would be a lot of dead infants and I think that would show up in stats and news.

Adrian is a great guy and I highly recommend all his content. For undergrad level PL, I highly recommend Dan Grossman's MOOC[0] or recent class recorded lectures[1]. Dan's thesis work strongly influenced Rust's borrow checker

Just take it back, pay compensation. People r so scared to set a bad precedent for future business deals and yet businesses repeatedly don’t care about leveraging every advantage they have for profit over people.

Personally I hate this question. And I get it in every interview. Somehow my brain just doesn't care to remember the gritty details for tough bugs. I'll spend days on a bug but soon after I solve it I'll only remember the act

sure you can, but you might not want to go that small. (simple proof is to turn everything into triangles.)

The sampling biases are _really_ important here, stated another way: Of developers who use WakaTime, most use Windows. Of developers who answer StackOverflow surveys, most use Linux. These aren't contradictions.

“Reasonable” is doing some heavy lifting, but i just spent another 10 minutes hunting through all the in-app settings menus I could find and I haven’t found a way to disable these alerts. They certainly don’t want you to disable deal notifi

Why? It’s our government (in theory), no reason we shouldn’t make laws to the benefit of the people. When the private sector consistently refuses to self regulate bad behavior, the law can and should step in.

Ads via notifications should be regulated. For example, I have notifications enabled for Amazon because I need to know when a delivery is coming but they’ll use that channel to spam me about “deals”. There’s no reasonable way to disable all

Citation? I got a lot of crap notifications for years and years and have completely abandoned FB at this point b/c of the low signal to noise.

Yes, the Specialized is much lighter. I mention still being able to hang the bike because that's the situation where I notice the extra weight the most. If I couldn't, it would have been a deal breaker for me.

I've a friend with an electric Specialized, and while his bike looks cooler my Rad is faster, half the price, with much better millage, and I can still hang it from the wall in my apt. One thing I've noticed is that pretty much ev

Just to add a different anecdote: I have a 2021 radrunner I use daily in Seattle (hilly & rainy), love it, and I have non of these complaints. I have 4 friends with Rads who love them as well. I don't doubt any of your experiences,

If you're feeling inclined, here's a slew of questions: What was the most surprising thing you learned while working on Rosetta 2? Is there anything (that you can share) that you would do differently? Can your recommend any great

Should you feel inspired to share your learnings, insights, or future ideas about the computing spaces you know, me and I'm sure many other people would be interested to listen! My preferred way to learn about a new (to me) area of tec

Does anyone know the names of the key people behind Rosetta 2? In my experience, exceptionally well executed tech like this tends to have 1-2 very talented people leading. I'd like to follow their blog or Twitter.

You gotta think there's been a lot of churn and lost knowledge at the company between PPC->x86_64 (2006) and now though.

I beg to differ. Especially if you care about outcomes.

Yes. Technologists seem to have a blindspot around Chromebooks even though they are quite popular. Related rant to OP: compute power is so ubiquitously affordable nowadays that there is no excuse for apps to be slow even on these cheapest n

AWS GameSparks. Being shut down end of November and bringing down one of my favorite games with it, because the devs were foolish enough to believe what you believe, that AWS sticks with its products.

UW receives 37% of its funding from the state, the rest comes from tuition[0]. In 2002, it was 70% from the state. And of tuition, at least ~25% of that comes from public sources (grants, subsides loans)[1]. And even if some public universi

Maybe it should be required that public or publicly funded universities have a set of relatively up-to-date lecture recordings for each course. Since covid, I know for a fact most UW CSE courses were/are being recorded and saved to Can

See the time-lapse at the bottom of the page to see Krzysztof Maziarz's process. I found this to be an interesting example of generated art being used in the workflow of traditional art.
