This hints at the antithesis to this article Doing a thing involves doing it, but it's very unlikely that doing a thing will involve exactly one atomic movement. So you have cutpoints at doing the thing. So to do the thing you first ha

To be honest I feel like "this code is easier to review and less likely to require rollbacks" is even more of a valuable take from this article, just in terms of "hey, don't you like it when things don't have to be

is there any blame to be associated to Tesla for its feature? what's the right percent for you? 20%? 10%? 5%? 0%? If the wheels of the car fell off, whould Tesla have any blame for that? If we had laid wires all along the road to allow

I don't think that's the read? Guy says he wants to work on something small. If you want to work on something big you probably want to be in a big corp to have the resources to do the big thing. Also absolutely unknown if the &quo

Yeah these boat strikes are totally downstream of the drone strike philosophy from the 2000s “No US troops directly in danger means anything goes” is really the most cynical way to do FP, and all this tech has enabled it

the wild thing is you _know_ there are so many people at YouTube who speak multiple languages and have issues with this. What engineering team is only filled with single-language-speaking people, especially at a prestige-y place like Google

To be clear I'm describing a point of view, but not always ascribing to it. I tend to lean towards thinking backchanneling makes sense as a general vibe, if only because it's a way of doing things that lets people have dignity, an

Some people are very confident in their understanding of a problem! Others will discount the validity of the stakeholders involved having good judgement. I think most people have at least one issue where they discount one of the stakeholder

Yeah sure, I feel like back channeling stuff is generally just the respectful thing to do, so I'm not on the side of the debate I'm expanding upon in most cases. Just that lacking context one really can't make that many blank

CS comms are tricky, I agree! You have to reply to stuff, often before you have any form of full picture. Just think you gotta be careful then, and the message they posted was not good on that front. I do get what you're saying, and it

I think the idea is that the kind of organization that would create the wayback machine in a world prior to the wayback machine is one which will also continue to push boundaries beyond that I think that argument has a certain stasis to it,

I do think it's worth considering that FDR got elected for 4 terms (granted, congressional control went through various flows). The push for the ideal might have locked in something generational. Maybe.

Figuring out how to do db backups _can_ also be fairly time consuming. There's a question of whether you want to spend time learning AWS or spend time learning your DB's hand-rolled backup options (on top of the question of whethe

I feel like people who crave stability pull all the wrong lessons from how to get to stability when doing this sort of "ok we'll make _one_ major version with all the breaking changes we've built up over time". This feel

Sure, I agree with the "levels of automation" thought process. But I'm basically experiencing this from the start. If at the first step I'm already dealing with a robot in the weeds, I will have to spend time getting it

A meta-idea I have: look at all usages of `select!` with `&mut future`s in the code, and see if there are maybe 4 or 5 patterns that emerge. With that it might be possible to say "instead of `select!` use `poll_continuing!` or `pol

I guess one big question here is whether there's a higher layer abstraction that is available to wrap around patterns to avoid this. It does feel like there's still generally possibilities of deadlocks in Rust concurrency right? I

So a couple of things: - I don’t know for France but for Japan one of the ID cards (My Number cards) have RFID chips in them. This means that KYC procedures can involve both scanning the card with your phone, and then doing some video “turn
