I've had mixed results writing "normal" business logic in c++, but i gotta say, for SQL it's pretty incredible. Granted SQL has a lot of boilerplate and predictable structure, but it saves a ton of time honestly.

It's not artificial at all. It's a real limitation that was so outrageously annoying for the reasons mentioned above that VLC was able to "win" by tackling this one issue alone. The success of vlc is all the proof you ne

I'm confused, are you saying that no one can detect if you're smoking or vomiting?

If your management team can't figure out how to do what you're asking, maybe you should be firing them instead. If _no one_ can figure it out, maybe you should be firing you.

Good for you, i guess? It was absolutely as stupid as they describe. There were multiple teams that were literally interviewing people to join and then laid people off in the middle of it. My own team was trying to fill multiple positions a

Why would you not expect these exact same challenges to develop almost immediately on Mars? It's not like one country will own Mars and even if it did, one country generally cannot agree on environmental policy even internally. I fully

I do honestly prefer using vim over emacs for a bunch of reasons, but I wish it was configured with lisp instead. Emacs seems like a fun playground.

I was just thinking we used traits and enaml quite a lot in the scientific Python community and didn't realize that's what this was pointing to. As far as using it goes... It was alright. Very very fast to set something up, but ha

Depending on the product, the latency difference might not even be visible compared to the every day latency of the backend itself. If your ui maintains state via some kind of async layer then the latency might not be observable at all.

So many examples of this across Google it's not even funny.

I've had people tell me my website doesn't work for them. It always turns out to be because they've appended ".com" to it.

To be fair, meta basically wants to be the web and in practice, for many people i know, it basically is.

You two seem a lot more interesting than everyone else i know. :(

You don't. You run it in emacs. That's what they are saying.

True, although I feel like none of those products have made positive product-oriented changes in many years now. Gmail at least is spiraling down the product toilet, which makes me really sad.

Ideas from the gmail ads team regularly get shot down by product because it would make gmail suck too much and piss everyone off. I feel pretty bad for the ads team honestly. Like, their job is to basically just ruin products. Literally no

"Just pack up your life and move to another zipcode if you want to have a baby" is such an SF answer it's almost a parody of itself.

This is also why Google sucks at so many things, despite having the best offering on paper. GCP is honestly great, but a terrible product. Stadia? Zillion chat apps? Google Inbox by Gmail by Google? Google wallet pay Android pay wallet? The

But without reproducibility the paper is basically worthless. There's already a crisis of unreproducible work and the strong novelty bias is basically why.

Isn't Apple UX primarily famous for the fact that it's not particularly configurable and instead focuses on being simple and "just working?"

I have never tried, but my impression is basically "You could, but why would you?" Haskell had a big jump in popularity around a decade ago, but it didn't gain traction with the "i'll grind 17 hours a day to become

Googles strategy is to find innovative people who can code well, but it's way easier and faster to determine the latter. So they hire a TON of people with these interviews and then wait for the sharp and innovative ones to float up whi

This kind of argument is a fundamental disagreement between "censorship can be ok" people vs not. Whose responsibility is it that the public is not tricked? Policy makers? Each individual person? etc

To be fair, none of the examples you gave seem just like "criticizing the government," honestly. Snowden physically leaked a bunch of docs he agreed ahead of time would be a criminal offense to leak. I think what he did was the ri

that's what i'm missing here... it sounds like OP is just saying "What if instead of graphql we used some other thing that did exactly what graphql does?"
