But who cares? This is like small potatoes. If you give a Japanese writer 140 characters, they can already encode double the amount of information an English writer can. Non-storage “character”-based lengths have always been a poor estimati

If you’re reading or writing a file format, whether it’s text, floating point or some other encoding, you don’t have to store the data in memory the same way when you work with it. …which frees you to write your data to disk however you wan

That’s a lot of text to say that bare metal means “no OS” to firmware engineers and “running on a dedicated system” to application engineers.

I could afford private flights on my salary, for my example, and it’s true: “it’s just more hours.” The only thing is… I can’t find more hours in my week. And the real bigger issue is, even through I can afford it, it may be hard to justify

It would only block if you did it synchronously. If I had to build an endpoint that generated ZIPs on the fly, I would explicitly build it to be asynchronous and efficient as possible. The only issue is that you might want to attach a buffe

It’s a requirement for the central repo if I recall. And the best past is the signature handling is a part of Java, not the package manager, so nothing needs to be re-invented. The default class loader checks the signatures at runtime as we

Java’s works really well. I think it makes other package managers look like a toy.

I don’t think it’s malice at all. I use many products where I think “wow, this doesn’t make sense. do the people who make this use their own product?” Then I people watch at work (in every department of course) and I see them do routine thi

IMO this is a perspective from software engineering. But this is an electrical problem. Interference is a huge issue with any engineering that involves physical things and these kinds of attacks are just interference problems. This issue is

Well, you pick EC2 because you want dedicated cores. You pick a VPS because you want to save costs and share cores. So it’s not so much AWS choosing as you the customer choosing.

Apple’s BT has actually been pretty solid for me. My AirPods Pros work rally well with my iPhone, Macbook Pro and Windows laptop. I can switch easily and it already is connected to my last device when I put the AirPods in my ear.

#1 is because your BT drivers suck. The Mac’s BT driver seamlessly switches fine and I don’t have connection issues. I actually don’t have connection issues on Windows either, but it does have the switching problem.

Honestly I don’t know if more rules is it. I think better infrastructure that encourages separation is better. I live in a bike (and very e-bike heavy) US city and the rules don’t really get followed too much. And I don’t blame anyone, beca

I ride in rain and the only part that I don’t like is my face getting pelted, but the rest of me stays dry with the right clothing. I admittedly do go camping in snow and whatnot but I find the biggest barrier people have to doing these thi

You’re mistakenly assuming that everyone sees intelligence services as bad, because as much as many people are concerned, “an enemy of an enemy is a friend.”

While I personally haven’t noticed comments being on or off as useful, just because a signal could have multiple factors doesn’t necessarily render it useless. For example, a Yelp rating itself is useless until you also combine other signal

I still find that there isn’t a true replacement for the right culture. Culture has wide ranging effects on how someone does everything, while a process only tackles one specific issue. You can’t make up enough processes to cover all cases

These features came online not long after there were news articles about journalists being hacked. The fact that Google is inconsistent about it is probably due to Google generally not being good in UX and frequently making these kind of mi

Security has always been like this. If you’ve ever tried to hop a fence or bypass a system, you know that it’s heavily stacked against the defense. Defense needs to patch every hole. Offense just needs to find one hole. That doesn’t mean th

Plenty of poor people people who pull themselves up don’t make the news like Holmes. Undoubtedly Holmes was also good at marketing. That alone is a skill, one that alone admittedly doesn’t make a viable product, but that’s the real explanat

But that’s why you need to pick the news sources that you consume, just like how you don’t eat at every restaurant that you see. You could make a blanket statement like restaurant food isn’t very good, and on average that might be true, but

I disagree. There is still investigative journalism and plenty of good news sources. They are imperfect but you get to know where they excel and where they don’t, plus perfect news sources have never existed in the history of history. What

Every time these kind of articles come up, either from people for or against the mandates or vaccines, I want to remind everyone that you judge veracity by considering the circumstances of the source, never the source itself. The exact same

I’m not arguing the issue here, but what you said is not an argument. Studies have shown that people fare poorly with judging non-immediate risk. Look how many people deal with type II diabetes.

There’s a huge gap but at the same time, each layer is still very similar to each other. Hardware engineering might be floor 1 of a building and microservices might be floor 19. Yes, they are very far apart, but one day, you realize that ev
