Reposting what I said earlier, because I'm interested in this topic. Here is just an example of one: Moving from Brooklyn to a small surbuban town: - very few lock their bikes at the local schools, or "town center". Bikes are

Same, but before AI. The thought being that the Engineering exams were so difficult that even with the text book, you had little chance of getting it right unless you knew the material. Often, final exams were just one question, but you wer

Two ways to think of this: 1) Sometimes a incident is the best way to get a project done. Working in FAANG I've seen a project get done in 1 day during an outage that was projected to take MONTHS during normal business. 2) Sometimes th

Couldn't you just extrapolate the same reasons people say living in urban areas is more efficient than rural? It seems trivial to see that storing all the music in 1 or more DCs for the entire world is more efficient than a whole indus

This is more of a Analog vs Digital debate? There are people who spend A LOT of money on audio systems keeping them 100% analog (no DACs).

I can state one thing that I'm sure a lot of people connect with, and I don't know if this is 10x, probably not. I've always been a backend engineer, never front end. And almost every team I've been on has lacked any fro

I do this with our AI PR review checks. We have AI review every PR and commits to PRs... which can cause long running loops of commit<>fix. So my agent just listens for green checks and no PR comments and loops until those conditions

Regulations are also restrictions, lots of people here are pro regulation when it comes to things they don't like. This topic is just unfavorable with this community... for good reasons.

Just for others, it seems this was already an article so it came up quickly, but for fines, not taxes. "In 2024, the total income tax paid by all publicly listed European internet companies combined was approximately €3.2 billion. This

No. PXE boots routinely load the kernel and initramfs directly into RAM with no local disk involved. The initramfs then mounts the real root FS over the network. Then anaconda or whatover os installer picks up and installs the OS in a PXE i

But it actually doesn't. This is not just a hypothetical but a non-common workflow: I already wrote upstaged code change myself. I ask claude to review it, and if ok, commit and push. At no point did claude author any of it, just a rev
