interesting. Python doesn't use tagged pointers? I would think most dynamic languages would store immediate char/float/int in a single tagged 32-bit/64-bit word. That's some crazy overhead.

are these all onsite FAANG? Know of any good companies hiring remote (US) in that range? Here in LA we have most of the FAANGs, but I'd rather not drive three hours a day.

for the chaotic evil play I was going to suggest Emacs with vim bindings. But you outdid me there.

crazy thing with vim is every person I've seen uses a different subset of functionality, which always contains a few things I've never seen before. Which is also pretty cool in my book. No two people use vim the same way.

if you're at the size of needing K8S, you can afford a devops/cloud engineering team. To OP's point, this seems to be a trend among corporate blogs. Targeting devs with irrelevant content. A few weeks back I remember seeing a

MacOS has a case insensitive filesystem (default). If you mix up the case with your files/folders and imports then everything will work just fine on your machine. We had a coworker that did this once. Stupidly, it even passed staging a

there is some confusion here. OP is intentionally caching results of, presumably, expensive computations or network calls. It's a cache. There is no memory leak. OP just did not detail how cache invalidation/replacement happens. T

This is an excellent resource. Lots of great films on here. Piotr Szulkin is on here as well, for anyone into sci-fi. I've been looking for some of these films for awhile... Golem: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080

That linked stackoverflow was a bit silly and misleading. They admitted they were too lazy to count the instructions given in Intel's manual. Of course we know how many instructions there are. Assemblers (e.g. NASM) have to know what i

The interesting thing about Blade Runner and almost all modern sci-fi and cyberpunk is that they all took their influence from one single comic, The Long Tomorrow , by Dan O'Bannon and Jean Giraud (aka Moebius). Dan and Moebius were

that was the point. The entire point of IE was to embrace and extinguish the nascent web. With Netscape being cross-platform and the rise of Java, MS was feeling the threat to their Windows platform. Apple is doing a similar thing with Safa
