The key is to call in and ask how to put your device in airplane mode ;)

Is there really anything more important than career progression? You're there to get paid; your manager is there to help you get paid more.

I had a manager that always started with "How are things?" and I thought that was a great jumping off point. "Not good, production is always down and I've been paged 700 times in the last day," is a potential answe

Strategy, not tactics. This isn't a meeting for you to update your manager with project status (you're doing that in the issue tracker, right?), it's for you to grow your career (and maybe get status from your manager for th

FWIW, this exact text was probably part of ChatGPT's training data, but the next important NOTAM might not be.

by jrockway 2y ago
Should you brief the NOTAMs? Yes. Is it common to miss one? Also yes. Go look at the ATC YouTube channels and you will find lots of people being intercepted by fighter jets even though they use Foreflight. Another problem is NOTAM spam;

Being consistent is the key. When you open up a codebase worked on by 50 people, it's nice when you can't tell who wrote it because of the spelling or whatever. Everyone on the team can see it, think "this looks like I wrot

I'm just looking for more depth. Like, is that all loaded in 1 load operation when the page is touched and is therefore optimal? Does disk access / writing dirty pages not matter?
249.
by jrockway 2y ago
Something I always wonder about is figuring out the optimal page size. The author seems to use 64KB. This is neither the size of a CPU cache line (often 64 bytes) nor the size of a block on an SSD (often 512KB). So why 64KB?

I came here to quote the same sentence and ... yeah, they shouldn't be doing any of this stuff. It's an open source web browser. I type a URL into the URL bar, you send the domain name to my DNS server, then send the rest of the

grpc doesn't really do anything special on top of http/2. Load balancers that are aware of http/2 on both sides shouldn't have any trouble with either. The problem that people run into load balancing grpc is that they t

It's always a possibility that some low level official not in on the scam sees the FOIA request before management tells them not to work on it. The more you ask for, the less filtering there is going to be, simply because of how peopl

I like `units` for unit conversion. It's in the default install of MacOS, so readily accessible for most people.

I would like to integrate with 30 bespoke SSO providers; is that something that I could be charged $100/user/month for after spending 8 hours of my time in some Zoom calls with people that aren't sure?

by jrockway 2y ago
The best way to look at it is that "are you aware" is always condescending. There are two answers; yes and no. If they say yes, they have to apologize for not adding your feature. If they say no, you're calling them ignora

Right, I invented the jrockway function which is defined as f(2, 2, 2, 2) = 7 so I made 7. Maybe the rule is "someone else has to invent the function", but I invented that so you can use it. (Please make me a the__alchemist func

This really sucks. Why is it so important to know someone's legal name, anyway? If their content is problematic, delete it. If it's not, let them use a pseudonym. What is the appetite for self-hosting streams? I've worked

Nothing trusts them, they're just regular self-signed certificates. There is no benefit to using these over your own self-signed certificates except that you don't have to ask your LLM for the commands to generate them ;)

I've done the multiple trees thing too, and agree it didn't work very well. jj solved the biggest problem for me, which is how much time you spend rebasing when you have 1 PR = 1 stack of commits on top of main. It's easy en

Yup, exactly. The VRMs on my Threadripper board take up quite a bit of space.

Yup, and it's always "impossible" to add doors, when Tokyo added them over the course of a decade with no problems and significantly more complicated through-running schemes.

Most interesting to me is that the Chuo Line appears to have finally gotten its new rolling stock with Green Cars! I went to high school in Tokyo and was slummin' it in the 201 series: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2

I mean, groping on the subway is a problem in New York City too. We just close our eyes and plug our ears while singing "hire more cops". A women-only car would be most welcome.

Why under the table? Seems like someone like Canonical could just outright do the auditing itself.

I agree. If you gzip a NYT article and print it out, very few people would be able to read the article. But it can still be decoded ("prompt engineering" as OpenAI calls it).
