Technical problems are generated by lack of knowledge. One type of lack of knowledge is interaction with people. You'll never know everything that another person wants to communicate to you because of several reasons. But even in the c

I don't disagree with the sentiment. But let's also be honest. There is a lot of improvement to be made in security software, in terms of ease of use and overcomplicating things. I worked at Google and then at Meta. Man, the amo

I might try to explain with some examples. 1) it would really be nice to renovate that old house in the city center of an old Italian town! Oh but hold and behold: you'd have to spend hours, days, months, even years (I am not kidding)

Very simple: if booing is used to prevent another person from being heard/being able to properly articulate their ideas in public, that's a violation of _their_ freedom of speech. Again, I might have misunderstood what booing mean

Ex-Meta employee here. I worked at reality labs, perhaps in other orgs the situation is different. At Meta we did "fix-it weeks", more or less every quarter. At the beginning I was thrilled: leadership that actually cares about fi

I might be misunderstanding what booing means then. My understanding is covering another person's voice with shouts in order to sabotage his speech. It might indeed be part of what some society might define free speech, but I'd co

> I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. This is _actually_ what a respectable society does.

"basically" is doing a lot of work in this sentence.

For example? I don't want to be ironic, I am genuinely curious.

Good call. I am not referring to that though :) I mean scenarios like: - Other director comes and says: why should we work with your team instead of rolling out the same product ourselves (and getting your team laid off)? - Our director com

I am not gonna argue because I totally see your point. I'll keep my "No" because I think you can still do everything positive you listed without coding. I know it because I had great managers for 10 years, and none of them to

Kudos for that! And lucky :) I think we agree that no much time is left a part from minor bug fixes :)

No. The amount of work that a manager has to handle to do their job right is incompatible with coding at a professional rate. If you have a manager that codes, then they won't have (enough) time to: - Write and design your packets (if

Your mileage may vary, but Starlark was one of the most complicated languages I've ever read. No types, just layers and layers of indirection, with the goal of making a very complex build rule look "simple". I don't like

Very interesting article. I feel like these are more laws of culture than laws of software per-se. Said in other ways: "It only takes a match to burn down a forest" "One bad apple spoils the bunch" Keeping a system well

My understanding is that AMD GPUs are harder to use for exploration/experiments, right? Because of the amount of small differences and instabilities compared with Nvidia, you can't reliably use existing tutorials/pretrained m

If higher voltage leads to benefits, then why 48 and not 120 (US) or 230 (EU)? Or higher? What are the tradeoffs?
