I would say though that we can probably look at the Ukraine war and understand how their air defense systems are working. And the answer to that seems to be: not as well as previously assumed, they do work but have been vulnerable. This is

The last time I used it I was asking a math question that was somewhat beyond me. I'd already spent hours researching it. Part of the problem was I knew I didn't know the right terminology but I could describe the problem in detai

Ruby hasn't stopped either and the last few years have seen a lot of improvement in it's concurrency story. I still prefer it to Elixir, that's just personal preference rather than a weigh up.

> This makes Ruby threads lightweight (also known as “Green Threads”) It's a shame they got this wrong and didn't discuss threads much. Ruby threads, since 1.9, are really threads managed by the OS and are not green threads. Th

> The Ukraine war, with large numbers of cheap drones and small missiles, has changed land warfare. There's no such thing as air superiority any more. This might be correct but I don't think the Ukraine war is demonstrative bec

While I superficially agree with the point, the article author states that they haven't tried the alternatives they suggest. Implementing CRDT or OT can be a complex endeavour, especially if you're retrofitting on an existing syst

It doesn't skip over it. First this is an example and not the primary thing it's talking about. But secondly, just above, the article states that some lower level knowledge is necessary in the transit example. If you map those thi

Lots of people have ideas. Good ideas. I've got ideas. Ideas are hard to execute on, and not just the programming side. LLMs aren't going to help as much as the author thinks, you get about 1 level of complexity down and they need

I've worked with plenty of American devs who are great, just get on with things. Maybe this entitlement happens at the big tech companies?

I don't understand why any of these except hiring is persuasion. Engineering managers don't pitch projects. They shouldn't be persuading leadership to give them resources, they just lay out timelines for what is possible with

You met a cop who actually catches criminals? Joking aside, probability works both ways and if the police don't actually do anything about crime, low level theft etc then those criminals will never get caught.

I would guess it should be more about cooperation on the problems and maybe some money needing to flow from the richer side to the poorer, and the poorer side agreeing to some policies. Annexing wouldn't work because a new city would p

Nice site, I found some interesting stories. I do find it a little annoying that when we have these discussions about vanilla vs frameworks people hold up an example and I go there and see a news site of articles rather than a complex appli

I don't recall it being particularly esoteric. There were libraries to call various databases. In my first job I converted a vb6 application from Foxpro to SQL server. I was just getting into Ruby on Rails at the time and wrote a COM l

Facebook is awful to use. I organise a group so I have an account, and there's things like the local food truck that only has a presence on fb so that's where you need to go to get the menu and phone number. Also my kids are in a

I don't see how you'd have no plugins. Was it proposing to include every possible lint? We write quite a few of our own eslint rules, having plugins is a plus.

I've been using cline and RooCode with vscode. It's significantly better than copy pasting. I work in a quite large codebase that has several different areas, and these AI tools are really good when I get a task in an area I'

I find Rome/Biome quite fascinating. Not the tools themselves. I just find it really interesting that Rome made so much noise and got so much press before they ever had anything worth talking about. People kept posting in work chats ab

I'm not sure what your argument is, but as far as I'm aware this tree didn't have specific, out of the ordinary, protection. I believe it may have even been on private land so the offense is exactly the same as cutting down a

I don't know, it doesn't seem simplistic in conclusion. The article describes a dynamic environment and you're just postulating further variation than described there. That doesn't mean the ideas don't agree or that

Not sure. I certainly think there should have been anti trust interest in Microsoft buying GitHub. If only we had good agencies with subject matter experts who can't be bought off by the companies.

I wouldn't know who Bethesda was owned by without going and looking it up. I personally don't think this kind of corporate structure should be allowed, too much controlled by too few.

Bethesda doesn't think anything. Some people in leadership there think this. It would be very nice if they codeified what "support" means and the circumstances around it into company policy so that fans know what is what whil

Adding fluoride to water is a strange topic people get very worked up about. The levels of added fluoride are very low, it's been well studied at this point. Some places in the world need to filter out naturally occurring fluoride, whi

There are a number of studies. I wouldn't call that a lot of evidence, because they don't agree on the results. And, because the methodology changes over time, it's probably just not possible to say that there is evidence of
