Think of it more like conceptual / performance art.

Until you spawn a goroutine from a loop and suddenly you have to think about scope rules, nonlocal references, etc... (It doesn't bother me, just noting the same complexities do come up pretty often).

Yeah, you're probably right. On the other hand, billboards are regulated - there are limits on how big and distracting they're allowed to be at various levels. There's also precedent for federal regulation of highway advertis

Don't worry, in-your-face billboards are still fine. (I think it requires a fair bit of mental gymnastics to come up with valid reasons to ban jokes on signs but permit advertising to drivers).

I think a sizeable % of engineers can be 10x-ers as ICs / leads - but it's kind of an "in the zone" thing, when they're experienced in the stack and the product, can navigate the org, are motivated and aren't h

Selling bonds produce future obligations whereas raising taxes doesn't. Is that not a meaningful difference?

Interested to see if the findings are applicable to bottled juices, bottled sodas, pex piping, etc. Also canned goods (beers, foods) where there's a plastic liner in the can. If some of the contamination is "pre bottling" the

Yep I am talking about maybe a decade ago; google have fixed the issues I knew about but lots of systems still only limit v4 effectively.

It would also allow a pretty trivial bypass using ipv6. A sizeable % of ip-based rate limits are breakable if you can use v6; iirc for a long time google web properties had bypassable rate limits if you knew about this.

Yep this is a fair concern. Proponents would say that a good implementation would mitigate a lot of the data loss issues we currently see (I work in the digital id space so not entirely disinterested here). Right now the way we verify ident

How you feel about reliable national ids really comes down to "do you trust the state or not". Error-prone-ness is a feature for people who want the state to be less powerful. Personally I think that for purely practical reason

One of my pet opinions is that economics is actually like this too, to a much larger degree than is generally acknowledged.

Most of this stuff tends not to run in a privileged / network context so it's not clear to me that there are big security gains to be had? To be fair there are daemons and scripts that shell out to these things and when all the st

For those goods which are in fact more durable and reliable (e.g. modern cars) the downside tends to be that they are less repairable.

What is interesting to me is that it was easier to sling 20kA round the chip than to make a higher voltage power distribution bus and step down nearer the cores. I guess this is a process limitation? i.e, the stuff you would need to make an

I'm not aware of any studies I find very cite-able or credible, sorry.

Arguably hook ups / one night stands drive STDs more and always have. Anecdotally every poly person I know is (relatively speaking) quite diligent about STDs, getting tested way more than most, informing partners etc etc. Sometimes it

The issue is asset prices are higher now.

Sure! I use them all the time. Recently I got ChatGPT to read a 50-100 page interface spec for a protocol (mostly structured prose as opposed to a typed interface spec) and skeleton out go client and server stubs. That probably would have t

A major part of this in computing is security standards - old browsers and phones don't have encryption / controls that meet modern standards, plus manufacturers stop supporting the OS or providing patches. The people operating my

I'm not a huge fan of the term either but source control is only a small part of the development process. Most of these systems are an amalgamation of scm, ci/cd, issues, wikis, project management, security integrations, static si

Oh man, all those years back I made a choice between antminer and butterfly labs. I backed the wrong horse. BFL mined with customer hardware and basically didn't ship units to customers until there was no profit in running one. Crypto

I don't feel this kind of "ruthlessness" is particularly inherent to computers. It seems to me an inherent property of the non-human universe, i.e "everything but us" - gravity is extremely unforgiving if you happen

Do you know if they ruled out the resins used to bind stuff together? In theory perfectly cured resins are supposed to be non-toxic (eg food safe) but you can get sensitised to specific mixes or accelerants and sometimes the curing isn&#x27

I feel like AlphaGo is a counter-example - it learned by playing against itself. That said, go is an extremely constrained problem space. It's possible that in science, mathematics, games etc that AI could keep advancing without human

The article didn't mention Waymo at all though, which is why I think it's mostly left wing flak. The author had a point to make and wasn't about to let a successful robotaxi deployment get in the way of making it. When an aut

On-site (eg in a dc), pairing, some kinds of hot desking, user support. I've mostly given up on customising and try to find efficient ways to work within each OS's defaults. The wildcard is when you're hands-on keyboard with

You can easily end up nested flows if e.g, your app uses auth0 and the user is a business user whose company is saml federated to Azure, for example. You can quickly get to 3 levels if e.g. your app uses auth0, github login is supported an
