No way that happens. Apple makes too much money from Google paying them and I’m sure if the DoJ case fails they’ll find a new way to milk Sundar.

Yes, you don’t need a concert hall, a grand piano, or a team of recording engineers to push a key. You are correct.

I keep my 3rd party libraries to a bare minimum as I actually know how to code. The time it takes to write a utility function is less than the long term pain of dependency hell and all this tooling. I suggest you go read through your CS 101

The number of things Google execs think are hidden that engineers can find with a couple db queries is…quite a lot.

It’s going to be really interesting to see Meta and Apple battle out who can make an on-device model work better in their respective headsets and wearables.

DoD will continue to do business with Boeing because there aren’t enough options because we consolidated everything into a handful of mega corps and gutted competition in defense like we have across the entire economy. This “punishment” is

Interesting section about Spotify, would love to see a journalist investigate it.

Exactly, time is money. Amazon wasted customer time, therefore money. Very bad look.

I do something similar, building a lightweight search index over very large relational datasets. So the tables are much simpler to manage, much more portable, so I can serve search off scalable hardware without disturbing the underlying sou

I use JSONB columns a lot, it has its place. It can fit certain applications, but it does introduce a lot of extra query complexity and you lose out on some ways to speed up query performance that you could get from a relational approach.

I mean this in the broad sense: like asking somebody in the sales department to lead a mission-critical database migration. That is in no way their job.

I think the inflection point between “startup” and “bureaucracy” (which is not a bad word, just a term for organizing people) is role specialization. Early stage everybody wears 10 hats, work is distributed and prioritized on a day to day b

I see giant models like Intel chips over the last decade: big, powerful, expensive, energy hogs. Small models are like arm: you get much of the performance you actually need for common consumer tasks, very cheap to run, and energy efficie

Actually that doesn’t make sense to me - why would the telemetry vanish? I get wanting more data, but I don’t understand how it would be lost.

What worries me is you need that time in the dirt to get a feel for coding as a craft. And at least for me that aspect of knowing the craft helps get my thinking in tune with problem solving in a very productive way. Coding can be similar t

I was literally about to type in my credit card number after seeing the new code editor window UX, but for the life of me I had no idea what I was paying for. I’ve been paying for GPT since 3.5 debuted and I know what I’m getting - full,

Reagan carried 49 of 50 states in 1984. The vast majority of the problems we see today are rooted in Reaganism. On the other side of the pond the same generation of voters gutted the UK under Thatcher, then sacrificed their children and gra

The DMA very much does not apply to everybody and was revised and tailored to exclude EU companies, by making sure the definition of “platform” includes the Big Tech firms + TikTok while excluding Spotify and Booking. The job of the EU

While it would never be published, I imagine if they broke it down by author surname you’d see most of this is non English speakers using a juiced up grammar check. I see no evidence actual findings are changing. Lots of people have good sc

Admittedly for anything more than 1-2 joins you are better off hand crafting the SQL. But that is the exception not the rule. String disagree: if that’s true you likely don’t even need a proper RDBMS in the first place. An ORM is not a re
