Yeah, not to mention all the extra operational issues and failure modes that come with RPCs vs function calls. Integration testing and release coordination both become more difficult as well. But hundreds of people contributing to a single

IMO microservices primarily solve organizational problems, not technical problems. They allow a team to release independently of other teams that have or want to make different risk/velocity tradeoffs. Also smaller units being released

The process is working fine. Scooters are far less likely to block sidewalks these days, because the apps now require riders to photograph where they left them and lock them up. Improper parking can result in a fine. It's exactly these

Why not just take it step further and take it home?

The majority of people use navigation even when driving to a familiar location so they can be routed around other traffic and disruptions (which are by no means infrequent). Similarly, I'll check the route home on Google Maps to decide

Whenever I meet with someone who drove to meet me, I'm struck by their need to return to their vehicle, think about parking, reflexive complaints about gas prices etc. In contrast I just choose a transportation mode is when I leave; of

It's not just land. Walking paths cost far less than and require less maintenance and drainage than smooth impermeable asphalt roads with curbs. "Intersections" for pedestrians are simply paths, with no signage or expensive s

Probably because cars are littering and polluting cities to a much greater degree; the people making these arguments are invariably drivers to whom the impacts of cars on the urban environment seem to invisible.

Yeah, agreed that a competent C++ dev would not write the code in the example. The charitable interpretation though is that errors of the same type can crop in real codebases, the example is just simplified for the purposes of discussion.

hibernate doesn't require any power; the kernel "just" restores userspace from swap instead of going through the normal boot sequence.

I configured this recently, and it involved resizing a 1GB LUKS swap partition on Ubuntu 22.04 at least with encryption enabled.

The majority of CEQA lawsuits today are about shadows and impacts on vehicle traffic/parking; they have nothing to do with "the environment" as most people think of it.

For housing to be a good investment it has to be competitive with other investments, meaning much higher than inflation. Since housing is a large and increasing portion of CPI, this is mathematically impossible. As housing increasingly domi

Configuring suspend-then-hibernate is a pain on both Fedora and Ubuntu for different reasons: Fedora uses zswap by default and Ubuntu's swap partition is too small.

Oh come on, I had the most basic request of Windows: keep the laptop on while it's connected to a screen and power and I close the screen. It failed. Seriously, how is that not working out of the box in 2022? Even macs get this right.

The sole purpose of git checkout -- file is to overwrite the file you explicitly listed. There should not be a confirmation by default.

Publicly funded road infrastructure is has nothing to do with the "market."

It's not a developers job to build infrastructure IMO, it's the city's job to build infrastructure and zone appropriately.

You don't "update" the dependency. You are always building and releasing at head with all your internal deps (external deps are still versioned of course). > the extra time to make multiple PRs is dwarfed by the actual upd

Big meetings are the most worthless meetings anyway. It's 1:1s or three person meetings I find most productive, and where I care more about video quality.

It's common for companies or their leadership to take a public partisan stance via speech or donations. Why are we surprised when employees then want to talk politics?

Which USB wall outlets are you using? The only one I've found that supports PD and 30W is from Leviton.

Practically it's not. We have probably a dozen USB-C devices in our home and many more chargers of varying wattage scattered about, and the only time I've had to think about the cable was for my TB3 dock. In fact, I worry more ab

By that logic, allowing more than 2 byte allocations is a mistake.

A version of Math that had non-static methods instead of static ones would be strictly worse IMO. Extra allocations, extra line noise from instantiations, very likely many users would start keeping Math objects around as local, member, or e
