A market being large doesn't mean it has large participants. But even then (and as seems to be the case in this instance), the market might have large participants because they are the ones doing the gaming, and are therefore happy to

Ok, but that's not relevant to my point. Plus, in real life you do need to interact with broken servers – that doesn't mean you should make your code less readable as well.

This is addressed in the article. > So, we decide to make our server's life easier by trying to ensure, from the client, that it doesn't ever have to handle more than one request at once (at least from the same client, so we ca

You explained how it is too easy, so how is it also too hard?

So do you want to give candidates infinite time (which they won't have on-the-job) or not attempt to assess their coding ability or what?

by fastball 1y ago
Easier to write. But there is a case to be made that code which can be understood without understanding somewhat esoteric language internals is superior.

Does the size of a market have some positive impact on the reliability of its regulatory body that I am not aware of?

"Don't anthropomorphize token predictors" is a reasonable take assuming you have demonstrated that humans are not in fact just SOTA token predictors. But AFAIK that hasn't been demonstrated. Until we have a much more s

To be fair, there are people who I sometimes wish I could filter with regex.

The checks and balances come after the Executive branch (or any of the three branches) oversteps. They can't come before. If all three other branches refuse to do anything about it, how is that not the system working as intended?

Before my phones became waterproof, I lost multiple phones to liquid damage, so the idea that waterproofing is a marketing gimmick is nonsense.

A country recognizes that the rate of company creation has gone done (or some similar metric). They identify the tax rate as a reason for this. They want the tax rate to be lower to ameliorate this. They leave the agreement. Now presumably

They committed the (presumably ripped off) repo yesterday, changed the license from GPL to Apache, and now have changed it back (presumably in response to this thread). https://github.com/pickle-com/glass/commits&#

He includes screenshots which (to me) do indicate a certain amount of lifting. Also the project is open source and the website is at the end of the thread. The website has a GH link in the header. What more do you want really?

Caching is a performance improvement. There is no software that requires caching, therefore it is always something being added on top of the business logic that is fundamentally required. As such, a cache is increasing complexity by natur

Sponsor breaks? Like creators having sponsored portions of videos? Yeah that is still there and obviously YT has no control over that.

My YouTube does not auto-play, so not sure what you mean by that. Also the ability to "hide shorts" isn't a feature I'd expect from any other web platform out-of-the-box, so definitely didn't expect to get it with m

I pay for YouTube premium, and my experience is fairly smooth.

That mechanism would still exist, no? Just that the entity leaving is countries from an agreement, not companies from a country.

They do actually have an AI assistant built in to the browser. It's called Leo.

Yes. The West likes flagellating itself for being racist, but in [current year] the rest of the world is invariably much more racist.

Kinda a tragedy of the commons situation. Everyone wants to use these tools that must be trained on more and more code to get better, but nobody wants it to be trained on their code. Bit silly imo.

Do you think they're screwing it in for fun? I'd rather my phone be more robust than worry about unscrewing a couple more screws when I need to replace the battery (hopefully a rare occurrence anyway). I don't know anyone tha
