I have come at this problem from a bit of a different angle by asking what is the closest I can possibly get to the hypothetical dream state of everything is automated, autoscaling blah blah blah as possible with the absolute smallest budge

I'd say not only is it a lie but is actively a not very good strategy to pursue right now, at least not all out as though you were pursuing some kind of multi-cloud end game. At the K8s level, it seems like the introduction of the Gate

It's very strange some of the phrasing of this post. I don't know AWS and Azure that well so I might be off here but every time I look over into those ecosystems it's hard to not come to the conclusion that GCP is literally s

I mean generally, yes? Evergreen browsers have been the standard for many years now in all major browsers. The worst offender I guess is Safari which has historically tied updates to a few times a year rather than much shorter cycles used i

It’s funny I’ve been looking at industrial strength build systems like Bazel (language independent build tool from Google) recently the past few months just to get an idea of how things work in that world. One of the things happening in tha

VDOM is an outdated 2012 concept when running in a 2022 browser though. Completely unnecessary and just doubles the data structures and fights against the browser itself. None of the fastest modern frameworks use it as far as I know (solid

What an embarrassing place to work.

You are kidding me right? Nobody looks at that and feels like that’s even remotely in the ballpark of something anyone is ever going to be excited to use.

I mean their actual new core product that they are apparently betting the company on is absolute dogshit as well to be fair. Take a look at this and the replies https://twitter.com/metaquestvr/status/15519433380387

Because they are fundamentally an advertising company masquerading as a social media company. They are trying to focus group their way to “what the kids want these days” and it shows.

I would seriously question the wisdom of anyone even considering it.

The absolute dumpster fire that is their pivot to VR however.. go look at this and the replies and then remember this is what they are betting the company on at a time when they have never had less user trust, goodwill or greater potential

So all the things they are especially bad at? Only a semi troll comment, IRL Facebook recently said they were genuinely unable to audit where personal information was ending up across their systems which is a terrifying thing to think about

I feel like working at Meta in 2022 is such a professional and personal stain that is going to follow people around for a long time.

It almost certainly did not operate in any way similar to how it was described in the article. See my other comment but I highly suspect this was a much simpler solution in real life. I don't think there was any monitoring of "cod

I tried writing a reply to this but its kind of hard to talk about the nuance here around intent etc when at the end of the day dead kids are dead kids. I don’t think anyone rightly gives a damn about if that was the intent or not and I’m c

Just want to throw my hand up and say in all honesty I’d never heard of this story before hence my original comment. It’s quite hard to find information on this one and I have to say the Wikipedia article [1] tells a much more plausible ver

I suspect it was the partisan and kind of BS nature of the claim. The IRA weren’t blowing up school buses full of children or libraries. They even had a very clear policy of trying to minimise civilian casualties in a way that loyalist grou

I presume you are aware of how she actually died right? She’s a good friend of a good friend of mine so while I won’t claim to have known her personally I do think about how her on a semi regular basis and how unnecessary and pointless her

It’s kind of unclear from the article where this claim even comes from. Was this something the journalist claimed to somehow know or was it something that the PIRA had told him? Neither of them would be in a position to know especially at t

I just got done reading about this topic fairly heavily for the past year and it might not shock you to learn that it’s substantially more complicated than the sentence you have reduced it to. However, in the full context it’s actually not

Not sure you actually read the thread or not but the point was that Flutter actually ended up working great on a $100 machine even when it was compiled to JavaScript and run inside a browser.

I’m not sure what you think he was doing with that machine to begin with but he basically runs the Flutter project and was testing it with a low end device precisely because that is important to him to know how it performs for users on low

I think it’s good advice in general that if you are only trying to build a single language then stick to sensible defaults in that language. But once you start running into things like multiple languishes and multiple platforms etc it proba

Now is actually not a horrible time to start at least being aware of Bazel. With their upcoming 6.0 release in a couple of months they are bringing in some much more sensible primitives to work with that make it much less intimidating than
