This series of articles is massively underrated. Even modern React setups with hooks and the like, with modern state handling, are rife with data races which happen at the input level. This article and the followup to it present a very comp

What motivated this article is generating "rich" protobufs for model graphs about 3 levels deep, and we render long lists at $work. Since there were some opportunities for caching I was wondering whether this could be optimised in

I would say "incentives". There was an incentive to do it in a way that needs not be certified, that needs no training and that does not have to be disclosed to airlines/crews. Once that incentive is there management will pus

IAM is "not complicated and complicated" in the same sense as UI frameworks/ecosystems/boost are. The "concept" is fairly simple, but you have to know a ton of bits and bobs to make sense of it all, for your pa

FWIW "every surface needs to be covered in buttons" is exactly how a Canon person™ once explained to me why they are not a Nikon person. So that checks out wrt this acquisition, at least.

This. RED cameras are overhyped for a few reasons: - They were once the "hot startup" promising acceptable resolution (filmic 4K when nobody needed it, everything was 2K at most). But they oversold resolution at the cost of bizarr

Yorick, your article struck me as incredibly reserved and thoughtful. Props to you, honestly.

Sometimes it is not even about the "startup spirit", but more like "why is it that we didn't do any projects of significance in the last year, and why is our incident rate 3x from what it was just 3 quarters ago, and why

As far as the "UI stuff" goes sadly the Python ecosystem is way better - Python has both PyQL and Pyside which are a very solid choice for doing thicker client apps. Ruby doesn't even have decent Qt bindings, at all. Or didn&

There is a point which one needs to be aware of with Parquet: if you are not stepping into it with tools well suited for it (that is: Go, C++, Java or Python codebase/runtime, mainstream platform...) you are going to have a bad time. F

What if you have a growing team of N people, and they need to be able to add shape subclasses / new shape logic all the time? As with anything this is a tradeoff. Often having decoupled code is more important than raw performance.
