Which video was that? Garry has been an outspoken Trump-critic and moderate Democrat on Twitter. Either way, my point is it's an extreme stretch to believe their departure, Trump, and crypto stablecoins are somehow related.

What's the context here? When, where and for what did they recommend SVB? (FWIW, it did end well, as going with a relatively large federally insured bank meant that no one lost any money during the crash)

That doesn't pass the sniff test, many other pages on knowyourmeme correctly attribute memes to 4chan. If you were right that would be easily verifiable. Do you have an example of a post dated before 2018? Maybe you're getting tri

I think I'm the opposite! The key is to ignore any language that sounds too determined and treat it as an opinion piece on what could happen. There's no way of knowing what will, but I find the theories very interesting.

If you're curious to play around with it, you can use Clancy [1] which intercepts the network traffic of AI agents. Quite useful for figuring out what's actually being sent to Anthropic. [1] https://github.com/bazu

This is a weird theory. Brex sent an email to all customers, alongside posting everywhere on social media. You are making your conclusions because they didn't put the announcement on their landing page?

Very much so. A better law would be conservative in both sending and accepting, as it turns out that if you are liberal in what you accept, senders will choose to disobey Postel's law and be liberal in what they send, too.

That paragraph could be the truth, or it could be a lie. Maybe Emacs really did make you more efficient, or you made it all up, I don't know. Best I can do is trust you. If you don't trust me, I can't conclusively convince yo

This is extremely dismissive. Claude Code helps me make a majority of changes to our codebase now, particularly small ones, and is an insane efficiency boost. You may not have the same experience for one reason or another, but plenty of dev

Cross-shard transactions are only a tiny fraction of transactions — if the complexities of dealing with that is constrained to some transactions instead of all of them, you're saving yourself a lot of headaches. Actually, I'd ar

by n2d4 10mo ago
That's right! If you anticipate you will encounter the third type a lot, and you don't anticipate that you will need to shard either way, what I'm talking about here makes no sense for you.
45.
by n2d4 10mo ago
Yes, but you could also flip it the other way around — make the business or customer your sharding key, and you'll only need to manage one schema!

by n2d4 10mo ago
I talk about these problems in the "How hard can sharding be?" section of the article — long story short, not all business requirements can be dealt with easily, but surprisingly many can if you choose a smart sharding key. You ca

by n2d4 10mo ago
It's a different kind of complexity. Essentially, your app layer needs shift from: - transaction serializability - atomicity - deadlocks (generally locks) - occ (unless you do VERY long tx, like a user checkout flow)

The title should probably mention that this is for search results in the App Store, which already had ads. Still an unfortunate development though.

What are some compiler flags that would compile the code such that an attacker could take advantage? And what would the attack be? Or is this just a theoretical argument, "it is hypothetically possible to create a technically-spec-comp

Sure, but that's not really that interesting or controversial. The more useful question is, how many CVEs were prevented because unsafe {} blocks receive more caution and scrutiny?

To be honest, I find Ryan Cavanaugh's argument against this quite convincing. It's weird to have something documented if you import the .ts file, but not if you import a .d.ts generated from it. If you want to show the value of th

That's not true. > Notable exceptions are Deepseek 3.2 and Opus 4.5 and GPT 3.5 Turbo. And GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, and GPT-5. Almost every OpenAI release got cheaper on a per-input-token basis.
