There was at one point a git interface. It was extremely cumbersome to use compared to the perforce/mercurial ones and was eventually deprecated. I can't speak to how much of that is staffing limitations versus underlying technica

Based on the filepath given in this very thread, it seems plain that that's the case (safety-ml\offensive-usernames\data_pull\sql\bad.sql).

That at least acknowledges that it's an unsatisfactory situation, OP's conversation didn't even have that level of awareness.

Being able to sense Earth's (extremely strong) magnetic field was never "believed to be impossible." The paper is just about resolving the specific mechanism in birds' bodies that allows them to do it. The gravitational

Read a similar article from this publication on quantum mechanics, and have a similar background in that area, and I concur completely. Maybe that's just the exact audience this is targeted to but it's by far the best "popu

Other stuff aside, can we please not go around capitalizing the word "founder"? I've seen it before in a few other blogs that get posted here. Makes it sound like an exalted priesthood, and it's pretty nauseating.

Yeah, I mean maybe I'm overreacting -- I'm all for a better terminal, and there's some genuinely cool stuff here -- it's just undermining its own case by overselling IMO.

Breaking down America into politically/culturally distinct narratives is nothing new. Nor even are the specific left/right and populist/globalist axes this article (roughly) works along. That said, I really enjoyed this art

I get responding to this with something like "YouTube's processes are broken." What doesn't make sense is "YouTube is happy to profit off human rights abuses." YT must deal with probably hundreds of new ads a d

I'm more forgiving about corporate jargon than most. A lot of it really does help optimize communication for the situations you encounter in corporate work. But "learnings" is literally, exactly, just a synonym for "less

Permanent or official WFH arrangements are generally not a thing, but just taking days here and there informally as WFH days is something that many teams are pretty permissive about from what I understand.
