First time I heard about this, for those like me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson TLDR: it's a MIPS-compatible CPU architecture

Logging is one tool of many, you need logs, metrics and distributed tracing at the very least for any significant piece of modern infra. If you really want to get serious, you also want some kind of continuous profiling (like pyroscope) or

The ō in Hepburn could correspond to おう or おお or オー. That's an ambiguity. What's the issue here? They all sound exactly the same, although おお seems unusual. The choice of kana kinda depends on the what you're writin

Using Macbooks spoils you. They're so well made that almost everything else feels shoddy. There's also the software/hardware integration side. Power management on Macbooks is unbeatable in my experience, both Windows and Linu

Yeah, I'm stuck here. Another thing that's really broken is the last string with unescaped quotes. Not sure how to interpret that unless theres a `:` (colon) operator.

Also, bugs in time handling of buckets should also be considered (or rendering). At Google's scale, trend analysis is anything but easy.

It took me a while to understand that internally it uses 128bit numbers, that `>> 64` in the pseudocode was super confusing until I saw the C++ code. Neat code though!

Gosh! The memories! No floating point! It was fun to build small apps and felt like magic at the time.

IQ without emotional intelligence is like racing car with no tires. All that raw power and no way to direct it in a useful manner.

But how many miles driven? Severity? Is it worse or better than a human driver? With just a total number it's hard to reason about what it means.

Why not a store-and-forward architecture? You still need a protocol for point to point and maybe that's where QUIC plays a role, but wouldn't make more sense to use something like email? The distances and latencies are so large, t

Does anyone care about RCS? I mean, most of the world just uses WhatsApp (with the notable exception of the US which for some reason likes iMessage). RCS is as crappy as SMS or MMS because it give carriers a say in the matter. Interoperabil

Oddly fun, rotation is a bit too fast for keyboard controls for me.

There's no easy answer, but you should definitely model what happens when X goes down if you depend on X. It may even be a rational decision to take the downtime if the cost of avoiding it exceeds the expected cost of an eventual downt

I haven't written perl in a long time but I cannot put a finger on why I stopped using it. It used to be my goto language for quick and dirty scripts that needed somewhat non-trivial text processing. Anyway, this made me think of the 2

I like some communities more than others. Hacker News I enjoy a lot for example. A whole lot of super smart people interacting in mainly civilized fashion? I'm in, even when there's the occasional disagreement. Curiously, I find t

They probably did it for the bonus. Most large companies pay you a bonus when a patent is filed, when it's granted and when it's licensed. It's one of the few ways to change your income on such companies as a technical person

I'm on a Mac and that scrolling speed is not how Mac's scroll. The acceleration and drag are all wrong.

How long until it's killed? I mean, google doesn't have the greatest track record. Also, why does that site's scroll behavior is so weird? Just use the browser's default for Ford's sake!

This has been done many times in many places. Argentina did it last in 2001 or so (several parallel currencies were issued by different provinces: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuasimonedas -Spanish only-). When the ce

You could in theory make that with two solenoids sharing a core and inverting the electric field and make it work like a NS-SN joined magnet. But I guess it would heat up fairly quickly, having to fight the force of the opposing S-S poles.

Walmart has been building a fairly robust EX program in the last few years, increasing associate engagement to drive CX and hence business outcomes. It's likely not just pay, but a concerted effort across the board that drives results,

Argentina is the other way around, we've had way more left-wing populists than right wing ones. I guess it varies by country/culture.
