It just means the the boat is unstable, it's not quite that bad. Calling something a "widow maker" in English is pretty close. Or, in video games / programming, a "footgun"

Oh interesting! I lived nearby as a child and I remember these boats, but I didn't know they had been revived. In case anyone visits, this is upstream: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fontaine_de_Vaucluse_(spring)

Is it technically pointless if you view it as a check on your own build, rather than a check on the work of others? You are obviously familiar with Bazel/Blaze etc. Wouldn't reproducibility be necessary for those systems to work w

I thought that plan sounded pretty good, except for the health insurance part. Where do you get your health insurance?

Hmm, I haven't seen any data on that. But your comment does seem to be representative of HN, so you could be right.

A Hacker News account might be a more effective method.

If the Rust displaces C/C++, that introduction could be viewed as an advantage.

I like the Elad Gil take on this issue: at big companies, you can have more /impact/, for the reasons you state. At small companies, you have more control. That's in the high-growth handbook. :)

I've always thought this problem to be overstated. It doesn't make financial sense to work for a startup, but the upside is that you get to work on something you care about (and even the startup salaries aren't that bad in th

Well, sort of. The way make tracks changes triggers more rebuilds and the build products are much less reusable. There's a good comparison table at the bottom of section 2.4 in https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/resea

Does the initial startup time matter? I think the server is kept around for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with Java startup time. Probably the biggest one is file-watching, using inotify, FSEvents, etc. https://stac

For packages, you download things by specifying an archive (zip file, git repo, etc), and a SHA256 hash. Think of it as extremely-precise version pinning. You can also refer to other Bazel projects and use their internal rules if permitted.

You may want to look at XPCOM. At one point it interoperated with MS COM, and it might still.

Yeah, that's why they're tricky. They will often produce /something/, but it might not be what the author expects. Here's a PEG for tweets: https://github.com/sayrer/twitter-text/blob/

so, your argument is that using the phrase "long-term" is forever poisoned? doesn't seem super strong.

Prior to Chrome's release, browsers preserved insertion order for numeric keys as well (but this was not in the ES3 spec). Chrome/V8's team found they could get substantial performance improvements by diverging from the de fa

These systems tend to shift the burden to the collective. There may be some burden on disk or network that I don't experience in California, but I find these kinds of systems win for me.

It wouldn't touch their system setup--that's the point. You get reproducible builds because the build happens in its own sandbox, ideally. But it's not absolute. There's a continuum here: it's not awesome to have bu

It look like "mach" is a tool that helps with Makefiles. I am not sure you understood what I wrote. Or, maybe all of the environment variables I used when I worked on Firefox just happen to be the same, but the build system is tot
