Lots of IPOs out there (~3x the normal number). Looks like companies are betting hard times are ahead and trying to create cash floats to sail the rough waters.

Folks who publish stuff to PIP had the good sense to not require a hundred different other dependencies for each module they publish there. So it is tractable to just go through your entire transitive closure and ensure you're not incl

In practice, I don't think anyone bothers. I asked a Node developer how they ensure none of their 3000+ NPM packages would send our customers' confidential information to Somalia, and he looked at me like I'm from another pla

We couldn't defeat a handful of semi-literate mujahedeen with little more than Kalashnikovs after paying several trillion dollars, laying down several thousand lives, and spending 20 years on the ground. Just on this basis alone, we do

Regardless of the progress on fusion and whatnot, China's move will force the US re-enter nuclear in the short term, if it decides to offer more than just platitudes to "climate crisis" goals. It's the only clean, abunda

And that's how you get this: https://twitter.com/satyanadella/status/1455624165201887234 It's just basically a game of buzzword bingo in straight corporatese. I doubt even his underlings understand what

Somewhat unrelated, but my wife has recently found a way to make _awesome_ European (aka actually edible) bread at home, using a very simple recipe. The protip is you need to bake it in a well pre-heated Dutch oven, that's how you get

Anyone who has ever tried out HoloLens (which I have) would know just how insane a waste of taxpayer money this is. I got mine for free, and I still couldn't find any good uses for it. And I'm a techie. This is the prime example o

Somehow I doubt this will prevent US Government itself from being a customer. They always exempt themselves from restrictions they put on others. That said, I still welcome the move. NSO is scum, that much we've established years ago.

Crucially, Nat wasn't a "lifer". Crucially as well, whatever the reason is, he's giving up his $1M+/yr comp package to go work elsewhere. A MS "lifer" wouldn't have done that.

Now I'm REALLY worried. Bringing in a large number of people like that at MS means they brought in A TON of managers, leads, and program managers. At MS these categories of folks get ahead primarily through political warfare, "net

We'll see soon enough. If this is what's going on, the process rarely takes more than a year, year and a half.

In the world where Slack exists, standups are simply an idiotic cargo cult and a waste of time. Just post your goddamn status on a Slack channel at a predetermined time and read other people's status if you feel you need to know that n

I'm kinda worried about GH now. I actually worked at MS over a decade ago. They had a pattern at the time which routinely drove their acquisitions into the ground. It went something like this: an acquisition happens, and in order for f

To China's credit, they've just announced a ton of nuclear investment as well, something the United States no longer has the balls to do. This is (currently) _the only_ real solution to CO2 emissions that we have as a species, sho

I think you have some issues with reading comprehension: I specifically blame the US in this case, for simply moving all these emissions to China instead of dealing with them for real and right here. We share the planet. Simply moving this

Not really doable, unless you're prepared to take it up with the largest consumer of coal, China, which consumes 51% of it. The US is distant third, after India. In fact as of now the US derives more energy from renewables than from co

Don't stop there. This is what I'd like to know by zipcode as well. What's the best time to charge my wife's Tesla, run large appliances, or GPU workloads in my garage. I bet there are a lot of consumer workloads that co

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqDqvKYDv9M I wouldn't read too much into what they say after the fact, and resign to the fact that we'll never know what actually happened.

And dihydrogen monoxide is often used as engine coolant. Let's not get ridiculous here. The concerns are reasonable: this is the first time this technology has been deployed at scale. Using it is a risk, and not using it is also a risk

FWIW, they did save my ass a couple of times, and for that I'm thankful. But I don't think their pricing is elastic at all. If it were to cross $10/mo per machine, I'd just roll my own, as I have a number of machines, an

Exactly my thinking as well. Mandates (and other forms of "encouragement") should be by BMI, age, and comorbidities. I'd be covered by a mandate myself, if one existed: high BMI, (treated) high blood pressure, haven't ha

Methinks we won't really know about the consequences of mRNA (or COVID itself for that matter) until many years later. And currently we're flying blind, and a lot of people are driven by heavily politicized, semi-religious fervor,

I think they might know something we don't. Such as, for example, that loan rates are about to go up a lot, which if inflation is not "transitory" (which it isn't) they will. They already did go up some. Most people can&

I think assuming malice on the part of Zuck is a good default. It's as in that blockbuster movie "no matter who wins, you lose". The only winning move is not to play.

Zoom is just dumb. A year and a half of _everyone in the world_ using it and they couldn't even improve UX or introduce "raised hand" gesture or spatial audio so people wouldn't have to talk over one another, or even imp

At Google back then "leadership" might as well not even show up. It was super bottom-up, and _you_, not "leadership" were supposed to identify and fix issues. No "leadership" would stop you, either, at least in
