This class of locks sounds a lot like the intro to a video game that says "press start to continue". Imagine your TV is broken so only displays the top half of the image. Are you overriding a lock when you press start, even thou

Sure! I wrote my first fuzz test with a go1.18 prerelease just to get a feel for the new framework. It found a crash instantly: https://github.com/jrockway/json-logs/commit/77c87854914d756... . This commit c

I've always been impressed by hardware QA test teams I've worked with. On Google Fiber, they had an elaborate lab with every possible piece of consumer electronics equipment in there, and would evaluate every release against a (c

Yeah, exactly. That's why I think a categorical ban is not necessarily "good parenting". I think you have to peek in and see what they're watching on TikTok, and provide relevant information. If they think a video whe

Is it unrealistic? Like, social media wasn't invented when I was a kid and I found some way to spend my time. I don't have kids but am planning on it, and I don't see myself locking kids out of social media. I also don&#x27

Yup, kilowatt hours are a cursed unit that simply reduces to joules (a nice and easy to remember 3.6 million of them).

This is for things like clicking ads in the New York Times. Safari will open, and then at the top left of the screen there will be a "< NY Times" indicator. It's below the clock and above the aA icon in the URL bar.

I think that network effects win over technical merit every time, and this time WebAssembly has the momentum. I think it's pretty neat that you can take a web server written in C++, implement some new compression algorithm in Go, and

I remember people being worried about viruses pre-Internet. You had to be careful about borrowing software from friends and things like that.

Climate change was the nail in the coffin for that one.

I think the pauses are to sync up the narration with the video clips?

That is a great channel. It's definitely made me consider getting into that hobby. Seems very relaxing.

I think the workaround in the Apple community is to make the app free, and then have an in-app purchase for the full version. This often has a free trial. As an example, I recently tried a sleep tracking app. It is a subscription service

Meanwhile, companies actually named Icom: https://www.icomamerica.com/ It's crazy to me that they didn't buy i.com in the early days.

Everyone who's ever died has been full of that stuff! And there have been no controlled studies where subjects are isolated from it. Someone should look into that! What is the DHMO lobby hiding from us? ;)

I don't know if Safari is that important to Apple. I have the enhanced data security feature of iCloud turned on, and I can still access my stuff in Chrome on the iCloud web interface (via the auth flow on my phone). It's actual

I don't think any of that really affects the day-to-day at OpenAI if they got bought. There are plenty of counter-examples for forcing you to use Edge or ads in the Start menu. They made Typescript. They made VS Code. Those teams a

Plastics are made out of ATOMS and atomic bombs are too. We should really be scared about femtoplastics!

It will be interesting to see whether the AI recognizes olde timey mountain dew logos, and whether or not it recognizes a "DO NOT DRINK THIS" sign above a mountain dew logo. I suppose no publicity is bad publicity, so they probab

I have a different Asus motherboard and the audio hardware is on an apparently flaky USB bus (the motherboard has several, as they do). Even with an optical connection, the audio drops out sometimes. It was maddening to me when I first go

I'm sure there would be negative effects, but at least things would move forward quickly. This is the worst system except for all the others.

To me the biggest time sink in PR reviews is getting the reviewer to open the code review. If I ever take over the world, I'd make a new OS that locks all activity whenever you get a code review and doesn't let you switch applica

My project got canceled, so I went somewhere else doing a similar project. Everyone phrases it like they avoid FAANG because of the interviews, and not what they'll be working on. If you don't like your project, fine, leave the

Google gets away with this because they pay so well. An hour of extra interviewing gets you an extra $400,000 a year. Show up to a 1 hour zoom meeting instead of having a long lunch, then put the money in your savings account (or in the s

Isn't this the same as what we all do, just more anonymous? Like, you can't pay for housing unless you show up to a place owned by someone with 3 yachts for 40 hours every week. While you're there, you can't listen to m
