I don't associate companies with whatever random things their ads appear next to, I don't even remember it. I'm pretty sure this is also true for 99.9% of other people. This brand safety stuff is just an excuse for woke marke

The library safety issue comes up in the Rust article that's currently on the front page too. A safe language isn't really safe if half the libraries you use are just thin wrappers around a C library. This is one area where the JV

And don't forget that Java has its own SSL stack, also written in Java. So you can go a long way with no native code at all.

The background here is that CS2 has been reamed in reviews for terrible performance where it can't even sustain 30fps in many cases, even on high end machines. It appears Colossal Order has somehow not had regression testing or perform

Pretty cool, thanks for sharing with us! It originally sounded like you were earning this from a specific job, but yes if you can build a successful business then your earnings can get arbitrarily high. I'm not sure most of us would de

Google's problem was controversial actually! Back then the general consensus in the industry was that web search didn't matter, users didn't care much and the big thing was "portals" where one company provides all t

Don't you hit the problem that after six months you can't be a contractor anymore and have to be classified as an employee (on employee rates)?

When will he admit that giving up on Windows was a mistake? Windows doesn't feel like an OS Microsoft actually care about, and hasn't done for years. The level of investment it requires to just pay down its horrendous levels of

So, banks do actually do a lot of this. They hire people who are not really programmers by background and then teach them what they call robotic automation. This has nothing to do with actual robots, which can make it confusing if you come

If the trend is so tiny it's invisible to the naked eye, that's another way of saying that human activity is having no perceptible impact on CO2 levels, which isn't meant to be the case is it. BTW your paper is a bit of an od

Where are you making 400-500k a year doing systems programming? Embedded or kernel dev usually doesn't pay so great.

He explains in the interview. It's mostly the fear that if you fail you just let down and disrupted the lives of all your employees in a very public way. The fear of shame.

I don't think the right interpretation of the CO2 measurement data is obvious or clear tbh. Naively, one would read that graph to mean there has been a constant level of emissions since records began. Concentration in the atmosphere ju

That stuff can happen but I've mostly worked at companies where it wasn't like that at all, not even close. And the one exception was a recently privatized ex-government org.

This is about Canada, not Canadians. Rust and Java were created in the USA down the road from each other in California, by people working for US companies. Nobody is claiming there's some sort of genetic difference that causes differen

The DNA isn't unencapsulated, is it? It's inside the lipid nanoparticles that are designed to enable transfection. And the pseudouridine is there specifically to disable the immune system's usual responses.

Other way around. It is seeking truth if there is actually a conspiracy. How many so-called "conspiracy theorists" said there was a risk that the shots would alter your DNA, and were then shouted down by people who blindly repeate

Foreign DNA that gets into your cells can be integrated into your own DNA, meaning indefinite spike protein production and consequent immuno-tolerance. This is likely the explanation for the (not media reported) cases where people who got v

In practice you often do because it's common to parse text that has "special" characters which are always ASCII. Think CSV, XML, JSON, source code, that sort of thing. These formats may have non-ASCII characters in them in pl

American libertarians do, not those everywhere. In the US they square it by saying that guns are a bulwark against the state going rogue and turning its own weapons on its citizens, but that in normal times (outside of civil war) guns are o

I don't know. Consider: 1. We have no idea if S3 uses POSIX to do file IO at the base. By now it wouldn't be surprising if it doesn't, and handles block storage itself bypassing the kernel. The S3 API is more restrictive and

Libertarianism isn't the same as anarchism. Libertarians want there to be law enforcement and a defense industry, and they want the private sector to play a role in that when possible, but not to fully replace the government's rol
