I can appreciate the pain of actually getting things through in a large (100k+ people) organization. What do you consider the be the justification for three separate implementations of the same build config language? Genuine question. I am

Good software that you use every day isn’t worth less than a cup of coffee for you? That’s fine, don’t buy it. Good UIs take time and skill to build. Should this student just do this for free? iOS users have money for software they use — $2

Two of the largest tech companies in the world, Google and Meta, had to roll custom VCS for their day to day engineering operations because git and git submodule were so unsuitable. The default pack file behavior of git is completely unsuit

The Christmas theme is fun and it’s nice to do one problem per day with a large community. With leetcode you’re off in the woods by yourself. Stuck on a problem? Here’s a cold write up. Finished a problem? Do another, monkey.

Pass by reference was a mistake. Doesn’t need to exist. Obscures what’s actually happening at the call site. Overloads the minds of programmers with an unnecessary third option, which causes bugs like this. Some other non-null indicating sy

BFS/DFS is astonishingly simple. It’s like 10 lines of code. And it’s almost always done (in practice) with a custom type where you work your way through custom fields pointing to the next vertex, so it’s not an algorithm / struct

It remains to be defined, but some of the technology is already there. We have driver monitoring systems. We know which device is paired to the infotainment system. That device could be physically sequestered from driver access while the ve

Driver demographics play a huge factor (young men are the deadliest drivers). Also, the makeup of your vehicle lineup skews the numbers. Small crossovers are the deadliest vehicles (low mass, prone to rollover). Tesla’s lineup is small (onl
