What is it that you say on a regular basis that makes you feel like you need to walk on eggshells? As I've said many times in the comments. I have 20+ years experience working for corporations. All through the me too wave, the increase

Care to link to a few? Every single one of these policies that I've seen over the last 20 years, including my role as a hiring manager in my past career, were aimed at leveling the playing field and providing equal opportunities to peo

I'm saying they aren't useful or needed. They're solutions inventing problems to solve to justify higher prices, subscription models, and data collection. I'm a software engineer. I like technology. But there is absolute

I restarted my career in my 30s. I'm literally working in a field right now where people almost half my age are at the same level I am, and people my age or younger are my boss. Have never had a problem all through the career transitio

... What? So your assertion is that trans people, gay people, people of color, and women are inherently worse at engineering jobs then straight white men, and companies/institutions that hire them are somehow producing worse software?

I'm a straight white dude living in the United States. I'm as much part of the "majority" as one could possibly be, and this sentiment always confounds me. Never once in my 20+ years working for corporations and governme

So because there isn't a better measure it's okay that tech companies effectively lie and treat these benchmarks like they mean more then they actually do?

You think they're gonna take a first crack at this and jump straight to the biggest they could go?

1 of their 2 sails broke. They completed the trip on one sail and their back up engine. Especially in a prototype, proving something can go wrong and you can still complete the mission is valuable data. You wouldn't prototype something

I don't use them regardless of the benchmarks, but I take your point. Regardless though, I think the marketing could be more transparent

I'm assuming you're talking about the "managed" pattern you'd see in stuff like Hashmaps and ArrayLists. To my knowledge that style is falling out of favor, and I think the managed versions will be removed from the

The big problem is that tech companies and journalist aren't transparent about this. They tout benchmark numbers constantly, like they're an object measure of capabilities.

I switched to Vivaldi because I was fed up with Firefox. I'm not thrilled it isn't open source. But it works, it has the best out of the box experience I've seen in any browser, and they don't shove AI features in my fac

I'm not a web dev but isn't the initial page load going to be a bitch if you have to ship a whole ass web server with it?

I want to love Zig. I like so many of the ideas on paper, but fuck I found it so annoying to write. I ended up switching to Odin and I'm enjoying that so much more.

If they want to keep to the error/diagnostic pattern I think they're gonna have to adopt some kind of standard context object that gets passed around. Passing an allocator, an IO implementation, and a diagnostic object all over yo

"Show you're work" Does exactly that using Musk's own lawyers "...Wait no you weren't suppose to actually do that..."

A crazy ass billionaire trying to develop an "everything" app seems like a pretty damn good reason to run the other direction. I wouldn't want anyone controlling an app like that, much less Elon fucking Musk.

From what I know of Carson from his writing and presentations, he probably worded it that way on purpose knowing he'd eventually do a new version, and he didn't want to miss an opportunity to troll everyone a bit.
