This is really good and I've saved it to revisit it later. Very concrete and insightful. Unlike a lot of meta-posts about PhDs that tend to be pretty watered down or abstract.

Machine code also gets decoded and is "reprocessed" by microcode in a modern CPU which then decides how to translate the code into what actually runs in the CPU.

Large shops that already run on AWS and where iOS/mac is a small part so they'd rather dish out a few $100k for someone else to manage and have it homogeneous through their other systems.

What's worked for me is to just set my alarm for 7 am (or whatever time you want to get up) and forcing myself to get up then. For the first week you'll be a zombie, but then you get used to it and you'll get sleepy earlier.

If you read the protobuf source, you can see a bunch of places where you can hook in custom type-fetching code, e.g. in the google.protobuf.Any type. After studying it a bit, I'm certain this is how it's used inside Google (might

No, it's right. In the US you can sue them if you suspect they're using your software in an infringing way, then use the discovery process to unearth this evidence.

You don't have to challenge the person you're responding to. You have to challenge their quants. And they're not going to want to add that into the million other things they're thinking about while doing research in a Ju

The latest "old Jepsen report" is barely a year old. It's not like digging up dirt from years ago. It also seems like there was quite a lot wrong even a year ago, quoting from there: > Roughly 10% of transactions exhibited

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to write out a detailed reply and sharing your experience! Being embedded in the academic world, there is such a warped selectionship bias, it's good to hear the experience of someone who lef

Off-topic, but would you mind sharing your opinion on your PhD? I presume you completed it. If you were in the same situation today, would you complete your PhD or drop out to go into industry? Basically, is a PhD worth it even if you'

They push so heavily in their press release[0] and their lobbying letter[1] about how this "disproportionately affected communities of color". I'm sure that is true, and it's an important problem. But I'm almost cer

I imagine the actual drift rate is normally distributed around 0 with 2 std deviations within 2 ppm or similar. Maybe I'm wrong. But I recall having not adjusted the clock for longer than a year and it only being about half a minute of

I would argue the opposite. Yes, those "space demanding" hobbies are hard to get into. But there's so many other hobbies and interests people have, and having a few million people packed really close really reduces the effort

As an engineer I like these watches because they keep time extremely accurately. The drift on mine is something like 1-2 seconds per month.

I want to chime in with a bit less negativity. Universities can really be a bit behind on CS compared to industry, and it's really hard to teach a lot of the practical stuff. You can absolutely get a lot more out of industry experience

I don't think Chromium is that kind of open source project. It doesn't seem that having the FOSS community leading the direction of dev is something they do. If you read some of the docs it seems that Googlers have special privile

Does anybody actually embrace Gitlab fully? Anybody I've seen uses it for git, and at most CI/CD on top. But who else (other than gitlab themselves) uses all of their stuff. They're pushing really hard for that with their &
