From my anecdotal experience: no. It is arcane, user hostile and buggy. And performance for many workloads is roughly in line with open source databases. Some of the tooling around it is nice and it has some nice features but I would not re

Only part of the backdoor was in the source code. It was split like that between the tarball and the code to hide it better. But, yes, with reproducible builds they could have put all of it in the source.

Musk is likely a worse engineer than Bezos and less technical. So that is probably not the reason. What Musk instead is is an excellent salesman. But maybe he was just lucky. Whatever it was it was not engeeeing which is a big weakness of M

One possible reason is to allocate a static global area. Without read-only protection of memory you could write to that area.

Isn't the original inclusion of the auto keyword more in line with what you expect from design by committee? Including a keyword which serves no purpose other than theretical completeness?

Yeah, why detain and treat people badly when you should just send them back home on the first available flight and then ban them from using the ESTA program? The pointless and expensive cruelty is the issue.

Yeah, this is a question that has been discussed for many years but since so many good conferences happen in the US and that Europeans rarely had to suffer this treatment in the past people have been lazy and allowed this to happen since th

I have never understood the trans women in sports thing. I see why it could be unfair to allow them to compete but that is a thing I would like the sports associations to handle. Being born with a male body could be a big advantage in some

Yes, it is a thing the US does.

You are arguing with someone who agrees with you but wanted to point out that your examples were bad and did not support your position that well.

Reddit purged them due to infections by what you complain about for /r/conservative.

Because you need to proof read it and correct issues. Every time I have tried using LLMs to document something non-trivial there have been fundamental misunderstandings. And those are easy for the orginal author of the code to fix.

This is not the first time Mozilla bought an ad company, last time it was Qlikz. And last time it cost them most of their German users. Wonder how many users they will lose this time.

I have never seen it used like that. I have always seen it used like parent said: to justify awful technical choices which hurt the user. I have written performant high quality products in weird tech stacks where performance can be s bit tr

These people that parent mention do not live in people's phones. They live in people's offices. Not all people have the luxury to just quit working.

Such a fragile ego. A mature manger should be able to handle a subordinate disobeying without throwing a temper tantrum and firing the whole team and damaging the whole company out of spite.

Yeah, I am pretty tired of what seems like Musk fanboys flagging everything negative about Musk. A government agency, DOGE, not caring the slightest about security and getting hacked definitely did not deserve to be flagged like it was a fe

They seem to be just some average junior engineers but with huge hubris. I have worked with junior engineers better than them.

by jeltz 2y ago
Yeah, I am pretty sure that is it. Most of us have worked with a guy like Musk, someone who hates hearing that doing things the right way actually takes time.

If Elon had selected a team of actual competent devs he would need to worry about them saying no to his idiotic ideas. These people were chosen because they were spineless yes-men and workaholics, not because they were competent. Plus most
