Whoa! This definitely looks much more troubling for the company now. Can't decide it is because AGI is coming very soon OR AGI is very far away

I know that Indian companies might not have a bug bounty program but you should get paid for finding such a big vulnerability And their CTO should take some blame for this. On the other hand, I agree with other comments that posting the who

Yeah, I also think that asking someone to resign for this does not look like a proportionate response They are owning up to their mistakes and making sure such things don't happen again (and increasing the amount from 2K :-)) seems lik

Thank you for recommending this! I have ordered this book just now, but from the preface, this is the book I have been searching for

Out of curiosity, where did you find this data (genuine question) After reading your comment, I was trying to find that for India, and landed on this page: https://gs.statcounter.com/android-version-market-share/all&#

1. I liked the way Java did not implement the async await style, and waited for the right abstraction with Project loom. 2. Though for a single threaded language like Javascript, I like the whole async await style because the alternative wa

I think writing part from cache to hard disk is part of NREM sleep cycle (from the book Why we sleep) REM is responsible for dreams, where it matches experiences from cache to long term storage IIRC

My team also had a similar thing in place. I am saving this article in my pocket saves, so that I can give "proofs" of why this is better From Zen of Python: ``` Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules. Alth

Nicely written! I think this should be a principle now (copied from Jeff Atwood's famous quote): Any infra application that can be written in Rust, will eventually be written in Rust

Wow! Out of curiosity, which year was it?

Yup, same experience here. Java modules took a long time to land, but now, it looks like the whole exercise for making the JDK more modular. Haven't seen any use in the application code Even things like Spring Modulith don't use

This is what Andrej Karpathy also observed here: https://x.com/karpathy/status/1827143768459637073 ( He did not mention anything about ChatGPT, but him using Claude instead says a lot ) My takeaway: Time for me t

I also came down to say the same thing -- Joda's library was the best library to deal with date & time ( Now with all the changes copied to the standard library, I haven't used that library in years )

I thought "the right way" was to do everything in Rust :-)

I was also thinking the same~ How come such a good idea is already not part of standard logging libraries -- to allow you to configure to another process or message queue! Loved the idea

You are right about recursive CTE - that's a functionality that's not possible without CTE However, I will argue that an equally great benefit is code readability. That allows you to give good names to pieces of SQL block is lik

Totally agree! I was thinking of this quote about regex, apt in this situation: "A programmer had a problem with Sql. So he thought of using an ORM. Now he has two problems" Choose your battles wisely
