YMD is the only sane format. When you sort, you can sort by the year, followed by month and day. I do this a lot with folder names or log file names in directories, file system creation/modified dates don't always match reality. e

During an interview I had at Discord recently the lead engineer mentioned they had exceeded 130 million users. Though, there was also a recent bump by almost 70 million people that left Skype and joined Discord in the news recently as well.

Due to the acidification of the ocean, there's an overpopulation of squid in the seas. It would actually be beneficial if people started eating more of them, because they're predators of other fish species that we ourselves are al

The objections to the project internally could have been brewing for years, though.

They changed to "Do the right thing" from "Don't be evil" back in 2015 long before the 3000+ employee protest against the Pentagon drone project. I doubt this is the event that triggered the change in stance.

Clearly they're trying to guide internal ethics. "Don't be evil." suggests that it is forbidden to be evil in all circumstances. How to read the new guideline: "Do the right thing, even if sometimes it requires evil

This is a pretty touching story. John has definitely been one of my heroes for a long time in the field as has Steve. At the end of the day, they're human. It sucks that he regrets not getting back in touch with Steve before his passin

Learning how it used to be done isn't a bad thing, though. Because when you need to maintain code that existed before modern C++, of which there is much, you'll be ready.

Yea. Overly paranoid. You guys were surely messing with him all the time. The paranoia was probably justified. Edit: At one of my jobs I had a coworker that put a program he wrote himself on my computer that slowly ate up cpu cycles until t

That is a weird way to look at it. Companies that used IBM hardware and services became successful. If anything they became locked into success with a reliable business partner. It is odd to look at that as a negative thing. Likewise, Amazo

Discord Edit: The only thing it doesn't do in your list is call a phone number at the moment. Though, I heard about a bot that can make calls for you not sure if it works.

I left that out in my post because I've moved on. I may seem a bit triggered, but that is because reading about this Void project possibly doing the same thing to someone else right here in such public view just brought back strong mem

They may have tossed him out of the company but he still gets credit for having created it, and saving it again later. These guys wiped me from open source history. When you aren't making money, credit is one of the few perks. But, I g

Sourceforge did this to me a few decades ago. I had created an open source project and was leading a group of developers. I told my group I'd be out of town for a week on vacation. Some members decided they wanted control of the projec

Not helping them improve precision of the drone strikes reduces the precision of those strikes which leads to more innocent lives lost as collateral. An argument could be made that using AI to improve surgical strike capability of drones wo

I've been warning friends and family about it for years back before it was well known, my first email about it was 2015. Their reaction has been one of three things; you're too paranoid, who cares so what, and stop talking to me.

And, some of the best products ever created were written without agile. How did we ever manage. I don't like it when people tell an engineer they're wasting the company time because they implemented something no one asked for. Usu

The common advice of, "You'll never know enough to use them safely so don't bother trying, just trust us." that has been going around has been proven itself to weaken encryption. Just recently, an amateur programmer with
