Frequent enough to interrupt the flow of an entire organization, wasting thousands of hours. Take a look: https://mrshu.github.io/github-statuses

I figured that it would be something like that. But it's been so frequent that I expect the leadership to act decisively towards a long-term reliability plan. Unfortunately they have near monopoly in this space, so I guess there's

I believe we (humankind) have been transitioning to a phase of what I call "time compression." Everything is happening too fast compared to say 40-50 years ago. You can attribute it to many things (tech in particular), but primari

Several years ago we had a data processing framework that allowed teams to process data incrementally, since most datasets were in the range of terabytes/day. The drawback is that it's append-only; i.e. you can't update previ

It was down if you tried to access it while authenticated (i.e. you have a cookie). It was loading fine for unauthenticated sessions (e.g. incognito).

I'm no expert myself, but is this the same as Russell's type hierarchy theory? This is from a quick Google AI search answer: Bertrand Russell developed type theory to avoid the paradoxes, like his own, that arose from naive

Markdown won. Simplicity always wins. Markdown is now the de facto documentation format, for better or for worse.

One of the best rotoscoped games I've ever played was Flashback[1] (1992). I was also wowed by Prince of Persia[2] (1989); it was ahead of its time in that period. [1] https://store.steampowered.com/app/961620&#x2F

The problem with macro-laden C is that your code becomes foreign and opaque to others. You're building a new mini-language layer on top of the base language that only your codebase uses. This has been my experience with many large C pr

The more you try to solve a problem at a large scale, the less empathetic to humans it becomes. This has been happening for a long while now, and IMO has caused society to become "disconnected" from each other and more "conne

Agreed. The methodology needed here is something like an A/B test, with quantifiable metrics that demonstrate the effectiveness of the tool. And to do it not just once, but many times under different scenarios so that it demonstrates s

This is why every language needs a good standard library, which unfortunately JavaScript never had.

This is something that needs to be baked into the operating system, which is not supported by major OSs today. The next best thing is to rely on a "secure environment" where applications can be installed and run, similar to phone

It goes way before that. It starts with IDS (Integrated Data Store) from GE (1964), which was a network database system. Next was IBM's hierarchical database system IMS (Information Management System, 1966), still in use today. Then th

I'd like to see a comparison of IDE market share over the past decade or so. My assumption is that VS Code has gained market share exponentially, eating at both Visual Studio's and JetBrains' share significantly, leading JetB

That is also true. Occasionally I would go in and clean up the docs and refocus them, but in the end I realized that I'm baby sitting the agent rather than relying on it to help me.

It might even get further. I imagine a day where AI would generate an executable neural network that models (and is optimized for) a specific problem; i.e. kind of a model that runs on a neural network runtime or VM. Who cares what the NN i

This is of course subjective, but I still find JetBrains Mono to be much more pleasant to read (when it comes to code) than any other mono font out there.

This is my experience too. I usually use Gemini 2.5 Pro through AI Studio for big design ideas that need to be validated and refined. Then take the refined requirements to Claude Code which does an excellent job most of the time in coding t

Not much tbh. I'm using markdown files as a memory bank[1] for my projects and it works well without the need to structure them in a schema/graph. But I guess one benefit of this particular memory graph implementation is its tempo
