And it will end up as yet another "research" funded by petroleum companies.

Who has said metric-gamers would be so obvious? "Add more KPIs" - yea, only benefits the metric-gamers actually. The regular workers would be more annoyed and distracted. Do we focus on the sprint and tasks in it? Or do we focus o

KPI/OKR stop working once workers starting to optimize for KPIs, ignoring stuff like quality of code or the mood in the team (is it supportive or is it till burnout?). Especially cool when companies put generalised goals, and the produ

why? would be pretty welcomed as proof-of-concept to start the discussion. Nobody has said it would be merged immidiatly. At least could be used to run load tests. You can always start with EEP if you wanna to discuss or propose new feature

yea, maybe. Repo is otp/erlang. PRs are welcomed ;)

Calling function with dynamic number of arguments would be slower, if you pass that as higher-order-function. Because VM would have to figure out at runtime if it needs to execute plus/0 or plus/2 depending on number of passed arg

Except majority of people uses BEAM name for the last 13 years. Erlang VM or Erlang Virtual Machine is ok too. EVM name is just super not-popular, idk why.

You can put your nif ref into a persistent term (if you do not plan to update it). Or into ETS table (which kinda defeats the purpose of making your own ETS table). But probably you would wanna not use resources and pass name of a table as

Google uses maps to collect the location data from iOS devices. So, Apple Maps are useful, because they prevent Google Maps from becoming "too many ads app".

kinda like with Graphene, cool material, hard to produce.

It is not even trendy. FB literally killed Pages before and now is actively killing IG. Many creators just don't really care about any new Meta products anymore.

by octacat 3y ago
If non-working product was the stuff they've ever cared about. IG: - reels were rolled/rerolled so many times with so many bugs. - have you tried to open some old post from your grid? Scroll is soo broken and loads 1 page of image

There are, once I tried a trusted shop I've used a couple of years ago. They made me wait one week to dispatch the item. Instead of using allegro.pl (aka amazon for Poland) which had the next day delivery for the same item. The platfor

It is yet another regulation which is sounds useful, but very hard to enforce. Starting with the fact that the seller always can say "we don't know anything, these reviews are left by the clients".

by octacat 3y ago
Easy, lol. Add into the rules "if it is a whole new thing and we see it from the user claims, your account goes bye-bye". But it is still profitable for Amazon to sell scam items, so they do nothing. Also, yes, they could spend so

They care. They still get their share from the sales, so they care to keep it like it is now.

They are fine with Alpine tbh. And something that allows to host k8s.

Reskill workforce into the bank workers ;) Constructing more means housing prices go down, which would piss off the banking sector and people who has several houses (or even at least one sometimes). It would piss off for sure people who ha

Good for housing investors though (sarcasm). But yea, it is very easy for the government to "improve" economic situation by increasing the house prices. First of all, we build less = less money spent on the new infrastructure, pro

If we trying to maximize profit for the government - that's correct. On another hand, extra people would make extra pressure on the housing market (especially well paid developers, especially on the overheated market in Canada). So, th

Many companies just needed some linux. So, choosing between Debian and Centos was pretty much choosing between rpm and apt. Many companies were not choosing between the commercial RHEL and Centos to begin with. Now they are just fine with j

They calculated that removing it would cause longer youtube usage. They've said to people it is against trolls.

Booking shows only the glowing five star reviews and Amazon probably prefers good reviews too (not the "useful" or "popular" reviews).

yeah, basically write an AI which would remove watermarks before training on data. Or after, if you've already trained (sarcasm). Great programmatic solution indeed.

A compilation step. Basically, google search to complete your code. And after "why you've copied this code? idk, it is not me, it is the model :(". :D

by octacat 3y ago
Probably yes. It still holds the book inside the model (or parts). For generative art it spits out watermarks, for example. If it was just some code, included into a compiled EXE, without permission - it would be a major violation. But incl

Political power. In the democratic country going against the church means definitely loosing a lot of votes the next election.
