At least Google has made an exception for me when I’m working on code hosted on Github. Most of that is (or will be) public so there’s low risk.

I hate stash because it’s too easy to accidentally pop. I just use a lot of branches, get familiar with git rebase, and learn about git reflog in case I screw up.

Many of us do a “squash merge” (use git rebase to compress to meaningful points in a CR and again before merging to master or feature branches). This creates a clean history at the expense of not being able to stalk others work at high gran

Maybe my sample size is too small, but when I was in Shanghai they very clearly felt Taiwan was a (rebellious) part of China. To claim that PRC has no claim on Taiwan ignores the fact that even the US recognizes Taiwan as part of China (tho

But modern games are often much more like casino machines than books. There are countless studies over the last decade to make games more addictive. The key step that I hate most is the intentional use of grinding. Not only does it stretch

Randomness of rewards has been repeatedly shown to increase duration spent with skinner boxes. There seems to be a magic middle spot where the small rewards are frequent enough to avoid disillusionment and the big rewards are infrequent &am

The “one China” philosophy is a pretty core government tenet. If Hong Kong exercises its independence it could exacerbate other territories/provinces that want independence like Tibet and Taiwan (whose residents seem to pretty explicit

I agree that some stereotyping might be happening, though there are several cases of aggression that fuel it. 1. Tiananmen Square was a brutal massacre that gives a visceral reaction 2. The hunting of the Falun Gong practitioners seems insa

I don’t think it’s quite that simple. Google builds Androids for users, but the primary retail space is owned by the carriers. There are occasionally a few lines the carrier could tell manufactures (including anyone selling android) not to

Iirc they did until they got in a bidding war with Google for the RF spectrum. Google bid Pi billion dollars, which pushed the government contract into a net neutrality clause that forced tethering to be free.

This. It was really hard to enforce supplementary style across my team to match common conservatism in popular codebases (e.g. only return a single value or a value and bool/error. Don’t expose channels in APIs) when K8s so blatantly f

Have you seen the internals of the rand library? HTTP uses interfaces cleverly to detect optional interfaces. Today I found out that rand.Rand does a type check on every core method to see if it’s source is the hidden type for global method

That can be the difference in how the software is deployed. At Google, most things are horizontally scaled and machines are cheaper than engineers. When I worked on Windows, it was the opposite: I was told to refactor clean multithreaded co

Makes sense, but if there’s any OS integration (e.g. file type registration, desktop links, etc) then the app isn’t truly sandboxed by these means alone.

Are drivers actually being written in WASM? In Windows, drivers often require kernel-space code, which require a higher level interrupt request level (IRQL). Incorrect dependencies in IRQL are the leading cause of BSOD[0]. If WASM got this

The reserved registers may always be a problem. It reminds me of the people who complained about massive slowdown in games when Vista released. The games were so optimized to fit in a single page that the few new pieces of state in the wind

I repeatedly tell people that Go takes twice as long to write and half as long to debug. Unless you write perfect code on the first try, the trade off is probably worth it.

I’m glad Amazon is reducing waste as a distributor. I also think Apple has done a great job over the years as a manufacturer. I was in retail from 2004-2007; I remember how the Apple boxes kept shrinking drastically. Other hardware followed
