Wow. Is that the whispering earring story playing out in real life? I'd cringe if I'd found platitudes like that in my notes from the teenage days. Let alone flaunt it in front of the whole world. Can't wait to hear about thi

That was not an attack on Github itself. GH made enormous impact in the open source movement and is still beneficial for every software engineer by providing a free and very useful service. Meanwhile, for a software business, Github is a wi

So often recent breaches involve Github in one way or another. How is it still considered a sane choice to host anything proprietary there? If your business is built around open source, ok, put a mirror on Github. But CI/CD, gitops, FD

At $JOB we have an "AI adoption" dashboard, the more ai commits the better. I asked for the sources: the deterministic classifier, that decides whether a commit was ai-assisted, assigns the highest weight to the commits co-authore

No. Even further than that, maintaining AGENTS.md and the like in your company repo, you basically train your own replacement. Which replacement will not be as capable as you in the long run, but few businesses will care. Anyway having some

In hindsight, that would've been a real utility use case for NFTs. A decentralized cryptographic prove that some content existed in a particular form at a particular moment.

Some clarification. Since 2024 Yandex NV split into Nebius (NL-registred NASDAQ-listed company, no longer a search engine) and russian-based Yandex. The latter is fully controlled by russian investors.

The author (if there was any) stops short of admitting that it is yet another product that was heavily promoted via so-called influencers and failed to reach escape velocity and sell on itself. Like, nobody remembered Clubhouse already in 2

We've been using mongodb for the past 8 years. What we like: - schema-less: we don't have to think about DDL statements at any point. - oplog and change streams as built-in change data capture. - it's dead simple to setup a w

Having dealt with similar architectures, I have a hypothesis on how this library (Hollow) emerged and evolved. In the beginning there was a need for a low-latency Java in-process database (or near cache). Soon intolerable GC pauses pushed t

Exactly zero, if answering your question as stated. But that is not the point. LLMs struggle with things that require tacit knowledge or are not found in the training set (i.e. haven't been done before). They excel at tasks that are de

Unfortunately, the choice of license likely won't matter in the nearest future (if not already so). If a tech giant wants you open-source library, they will just point their agent to it and ask "to rewrite in the style of War and

OTH the inefficiency of an analyst who cannot answer even basic questions about the current state of the product without developers' help. Distracting them, or even worse - blocking until a dev is available. I think it boils down to th

> business analysts don't get access to code or repositories at all for example or support people don't get access to the repositories and code. Yes, but isn't it insane? What is the benefit from treating your own product

You may be striking the goldmine with this app. There's a lot of sentiment about the effects of tech on children and also parents spend money like no one else. On a personal level I'm interested too. My son is too young, so we onl

Of course, deletion is a whole different story. I was talking about addition in isolation. Anyway, I felt I had to run the benchmarks myself. @Benchmark @Fork(1) @BenchmarkMode(Mode.Throughput) @OutputTimeUnit(TimeUnit.SECONDS)

Does it handle line breaks inside quotes in CSV? Frankly, I don't think its possible to reliably process CSV in а multi-threaded manner.

Did you count an allocation of LinkedList.Node<E> on every add operation? You may say it's negligible thanks to TLAB, and I will agree that fast allocation is Java's strength, but in practice I've seen that creating new

A lot of people here are saying nice things about having dev environment on WSL. Honest question: how do you deal with with those minor but insufferable Windows' quirks like 0d0a line endings, selective Unicode support, byte-order-mar

I always shrugged off the concept of code metrics (from LoCs to coverage) as a distraction from getting actual things done. But since doing more code-review I started to lack a framework to properly explain why a particular piece of code sm

That filter may be the advantage, but Mr. Tatham is just too polite to say that aloud.

One can argue that the described feeling is a product of suppressed instinctive behavior. Or, in other words, a detail of a particular implementation of intelligence in a certain species of mammals.
