I did see the illusion but I just did a double-take. That image looks just straight green to me. I suppose I could imagine it being greener somehow, but blue!? I have a slight deuteranomaly. I did see the illusion. Pretty!

Git as a backend (with some amendments) is lovely and brilliant. Git as a front end is legendarily difficult to use. Jujutsu has all the advantages with none of the downsides and—unlike the alternatives—adoption doesn’t need to happen all

From my point of view, the significant tradeoffs made in the design of go make it better suited toward software that has to change a lot: e.g., things closer to customer-facing that are constantly being iterated on. Rust is more appropriate

You can 100% use it with that workflow, and there is no problem in doing that. You could use other workflows but those are things you can pick up as you gain more familiarity. What I would focus on is what it enables you to do that’s hard

Yep. Having made the switch, I now see git (as a user-facing VCS) as a dead end. It’ll take awhile for people to switch, but I think it will happen eventually. Invisible git compatibility means we don’t have to get everyone to switch all at

You’re not wrong, but now you have all your logs on another machine. And that machine could make them immutable/append-only for defense-in-depth purposes :)

I agree with your assessment of the problem. It’s already been broken out into discrete chunks that are all simply solvable in short order. Even finding neighbor squares is reasonably straightforward (generating all 8 candidates is basicall

You're the one that started things off here with framing things as "replacing police with a hippie circle". Further, you admit you can't speak credibly to San Francisco, but then you keep trying to speak credibly about S

Be specific. Which police reforms resulted in an increase in nuisance crimes in NYC?

As someone who grew up with a dad who listened to conservative talk radio, "liberal" has been used as an epithet for at least thirty years. I was genuinely stunned in high school when I met people who would willingly refer to th

It was a branding fuckup more than a policy fuckup. The idea that we want types of response units other than armed gunmen available to respond to certain types of emergencies isn’t exactly radical. We don’t send the police for medical emerg

And do you think this was a result of a ~3% reduction in police officers, or could it have been something else?

This was the sensationalist media narrative, yes. Chesa got kicked out. Brooke Jenkins took over to much fanfare. Aaaand nothing material really changed, either with enforcement or with prosecution. The media stopped talking about it though

This same argument is true for every bit of authority we give to law enforcement agencies (and really, the government in general). We expect they'll use those powers responsibly and within the limitations that we've ascribed, but

Yeah, I've done the calculations for 3% at 2%. I didn't feel like doing them again, so just went with a conservative bet.

If you are using string concatenation to build HTML in your application layer, you are fundamentally doing it wrong. Ruby isn’t making all strings immutable here. Just string literals. You are free to allocate mutable strings that can be ap

I architected and built our entire log-ingestion pipeline for intrusion detection on it, at Square. I built a small Ruby wrapper around the C API. Then I used that to slurp all the logs, periodically writing the current log ID to disk. Thos

Tests should not generally need to be rewritten unless you’re changing the externally-visible behavior API of a function or library (either the literal API, its effects, or its semantics). If you’re changing the tests because you’ve changed

The vast majority of Golang developers are neither hobbled by the lack of gigabyte throughput for random identifier generation nor are they on the verge of becoming victims to attacks on identifiers with "only" 2^122 random bits.

The mocking thing actually touches on another point of frustration for me. I think the design of Rails ends up causing people to reach for mocking way too often in order to test things. At a glance I think Brut should avoid a lot of this

Do you mind elaborating on what more you end up wishing you had? Most of the additional features RSpec adds seem worthwhile but just end up being more complicated/confusing in the end, in my experience. Shared contexts/examples, f

To be honest, I love this framework (so far from what I've seen) but I do hate the choice of RSpec. I say this as someone who used RSpec for like a decade after it was first released. I "get" it. I have contributed code to it
