The crux is that people can agree that "housing is a basic need" without agreeing that "no one should be able to own houses they do not live in". Even the most well-intentioned attempts to implement this will probably be

I agree from a developer point of view, but the people configuring and deploying the application aren't always the same people developing it. As a developer I like to make many options available for debugging in various situations, inc

This makes sense, and I wondered for a moment why I hadn't noticed the issue in any of our projects. I realized it's because we just don't expose HTTP in the first place, whether for API or UI purposes. However, that doesn&#x

I didn't know Go reserved some registers for its own use. For libraries that don't use cgo but do use assembly [1], does this mean they have to generate that assembly with a compiler flag that avoids reserved registers? [1] A comm

It's only fair to say that SRE's attitude towards complexity can be very different to SWE's, reinforced by how their performance is reviewed. Though there's still hypocrisy in SRE complaining about how SWE builds project

Exactly. That's why it's hard to watch so many people claim it's a myth. What I'm coming to realize is even worse is that many people do see how much more productive and capable other engineers can be, but make no effort

If anyone believes this, they can't seriously be surprised when most people can't be bothered to learn their superior tool. Most people's first experience with a new tool will be to launch it with the default configuration an

People have this all backwards. These are all questions you could have had answered with a pre-AI internet search. GPT4 is not adding value for these questions [1], and it's still wrong often enough that it can't be blindly truste

It's not like Goyal doesn't accept any patches [1]. I don't use kitty myself, but many people who do seem to love it. I've come around to feel that this is truly a maintainer's judgment call. After all, they are alm

It's interesting we've had such opposite experiences with tmux configuration. My home git log shows my first tmux configuration was in 2017. Since then, several options have been removed, they now throw an error on startup, and me

Some folks have looked into it, and it doesn't sound too bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY-tMBk9Vx4 For me at least, the best possible outcome of this is that Windows handheld gaming devices become more power-eff

This is more like supporting AVX512 than a whole separate architecture. If you have to target both old and new devices from one binary, you do a runtime feature check and call the corresponding code. That is certainly more code, but not dou

Everyone thinks they're writing good code. Even many experienced seniors write code that they think is good code but others loathe. Best case, they can at least solve problems without introducing new ones; though more often than not, t

Is there a consensus on the best available cooler for the Pi 5? I looked at this exact unit but wanted more of a "case" design. I first tried the Flirc passive case. It seems to transport and dissipate heat notably better than act

Good point about Gen0, because Go's GC isn't even generational or compacting so you really do pay for all of these nested and repeated messages in full every time. At best the allocation is serviced from the thread-local cache, bu

To be fair, newer models of the old Switch do not have published exploits either. People solder chips onto them just like the bad old days of console modding. I'd like to think that it's inevitable more exploits will eventually be

I played this a couple of years ago and it was already really solid back then. Do you know if they've figured out a way to do gyro aim since then? That'd be perfect for the growing number of devices inspired by the Switch and more
