Don't worry, most places go straight with databricks and get a flaky as hell system that falls apart anyway, but then they can blame databricks instead of their own incompetence.

I think post malthusian trap its very possible to have enough resources for everyone and thus no reason to be an oppressor; from a cultural context you have books like the pedagogy of the oppressed which aims to educate one out of the goal

Oh its much worse than that - they think that most developers don't do anything and the core devs are just supported by the ancillary devs, 80% of the work in core devs and 20% otherwise. In many workplaces this is true. That means a

The Freudian slip here is great.

If that's the unit, I am saying it, but yes - everyone gives me weird looks every time and just assumes I am mispronouncing terabytes but yet does not correct me.

A distinction without a difference to anyone observing a "convinced capitalist" from the outside.

It's not the only way. The oppressed do not need to become the oppressor, its just the simplest rut for the wheel to turn in.

I appreciate that most folks talking about power on HN are talking about computers, but I decided to not become an electrician in an earlier life. Taking standard precautions doesn't mean you suddenly shy away from doing basic maintena

Hilarious to read this on "hacker news" - replacing a standard fan is too dangerous! This is not styropyro.

There's so much decision making in companies that comes down to some dingus in management decided that it would Be Bad On Purpose. Fighting that battle is something you can try a few times in your career if you want, but it usually lea

Suuure, but in my experience you get the meathead who makes a sports analogy every time something needs to be done. Had to listen to someone talking about "humping it across the line" this week.

Again, this is something most good linters will catch, Jetbrains stuff will absolutely just tell you, deterministically, that this is a scary concatenation of strings. No reason to use a lossy method.

Well, if destroying things that have only positive outcomes for your constituents is not dysfunction then what is?

Yup, but this time its their choice that one upped the supposed experts, so they cling to buying Marc island for at least 5 years.

Looks super interesting, except for there's no pricing on the page that I could find except for contact sales - totally understand wanting to do a higher touch sales process, but that's going to bounce some % of eng types who want

Two words that were repeated at least a half dozen times and used as the framing for the article. I literally went and looked at past articles to see how much this framing was used (and it wasn't) because when you use this framing you

Even more well managed projects are just "here's the budget figure it out yourself or come talk to us if it will make us XX% more", but SOCII still manages to make a lot of things take forever even in the best of situations.

It's just not though. People above you are making decisions to not pay what generally amounts to trivial amounts of money to (in many cases I have seen) completely fuck up their products. I have worked with enough C levels to understan

If you want to operate at "dominant player in the industry" there's a lot of reasons you have to do stuff that has reasons not to be done, saying "its hard" isn't a good enough excuse if you want to get the lio

As a electronics tinkerer just getting started I loved that moment when I first opened up some analog device and just ... recognized everything. A great little writeup!

And not get in an infinite loop, and not harm the startup time of the process inordinately, and... This is just basically how a WAL works, if you have an inconsistent state the transaction is rolled back - at that point you need to redo you

Yes you can definitely add a backup camera after the fact.

Competition forces innovation, but in the absence of real innovation you get this crap. Change for changes sake. Nobody is really competing anymore - oh a ANOTHER camera? It's 10 nm thinner! Literally almost all these features are who

I mean Cellebrite has been a public name for a long time now, and LEO pays for that and similar devices which basically launder zero days and physical exploits to get your stuff.
