Google's implementation does not seem to be doing much good anyway. To be fair, it is not just Google -- most companies feel the same pressure of having to implement MFA but then also make it convenient for clueless users to recover th

I am not sure about usefulness of kinetic impactors at near light speeds over long distances. Imagine you are in impactor frame of reference -- any particle of dust it meets will cause tremendous damage to it regardless of what the impactor

What kind of argument is this "only if they are in our own solar system"? Even at the speed of Voyager 2, (15km/s), in a billion years it would cover about 4 * 10^17 km or about 40 thousand light years. I am pretty sure peopl

We've been able to fly or emit radio signals only for a bit more than 100 years. If there exist any other civilisations and we assume they start independently, there should be ones that started billions of years ago. Which is enough to

Lack of types -- yeah, I forgot to mention it. Another is -- lack of good IDE support (which is connected to lack of strong typing). In something like Java you can always understand what is the thing under your cursor. But an experienced de

There exists no single tool that is best for everything. Also, not every company can hire best developers (even though most claims so). Imagine you are project manager for project X which is pretty mundane backend with pretty mundane API an

Faced with decision overload, most people get more productive where most of the decisions are made for them by somebody else. If you had to consciously make every single decision about everything you do you would die. That's where habi

I love Clojure and also Common Lisp (basically, Lisp in general). But I also observed every single corporate Clojure project I had any connection with to fail spectacularly. Typically as a complete unmaintainable mess. Some as unmaintainabl

Soleras are not perpetual. They just diminish volume over time and so are put into smaller casks until they are bottled.

Engineering is all about tradeoffs. In real life things never work 100% reliably. Not being able to do tradeoffs disqualifies person as an engineer. plonk

Arbitrary rate means you can set it up so that you don't have to worry about it in practice. If I served a site where people could check if their passwords leaked I would not worry if one in a million viewers got a false positive.

You can set up bloom filters for arbitrary false positive probability.

Can't you just use something like a bloom filter? There is a bit over 1B passwords in there (based on the size of the file and the length of the line). You would need a binary file around 3GB in size that would have to either load into

He has a jet because, honestly, he is traveling constantly for his work. Call it a tax on running multiple large operations. Given his long work days I can see how the jet pays for itself many times over. And renting a yacht for $7k is actu

You know what is the saying popular with skippers? "If you buy your own boat you will only be happy twice in your life. On the day you buy it and then on the day you sell it."

For some types of apps, sure. But if you look at the list, the ones that sting the most are kernel or video parsing errors or similar. I am just not seeing these being implemented with anything else than an efficient, low level programming

One critical point I forgot to include is that cognitive load of your team members should be treated as a precious resource. Whatever happens, you need to make sure you don't waste this resource on unneeded stuff -- cognitive load more

In my experience rewrites typically start with senior devs (or tech leads who are not really leads but rather senior devs with better pay). The rewrite starts when devs are able to force/guilt/persuade the manager to do it. And al

Yeah... for some reason developers think that the higher position/salary requires them to put forward more complicated solution. Nothing further from the truth. My goal in life is to learn so that I can engineer systems and write code

Juniors should not be learning the same things as senior developers. Imagining juniors as "mini-seniors" is IMO wrong. There needs to be a progression and you go from focus on low level stuff to focus on high level stuff. For any

by twawaaay 4y ago
In my experience, when people look for a way to include something in the project it almost always results in more complexity. A question like "how do I put it all together" signals focus on tools rather than focus on the product.

by twawaaay 4y ago
Don't put it together. Learn all this stuff, understand it deeply. Then use it when you find it improves whatever you are working on. If you start putting it all together you will most likely only confuse other developers, especially j
