Would be fun to see what it takes to run it!

Good explanation! And in the case of "I booted Linux 293k times in 21 hours" it wasn't just 100 times, it was 10,000 :-)

You do still have to select an N, but it's not as critical that the N gives 100% guarantee of the flaky failure (which can be really difficult or even impossible to achieve). Unlike regular binar…

Running binary search on something that's flaky is a pain. "Noisy binary search" or "robust binary search" can help here: https://github.com/adamcrume/rob…

did you consider letting the input be just sql ddl rather than yet another layer of ddl?

Maybe they just mean that Google started investing seriously in unit testing 20 years ago?

Intrigued by the protocol, and have been lurking on Damus for some months. But ultimately I worry it has been tainted too much by Bitcoin cultism, and its ties with Bitcoin will prevent it from being …

This "inner voice" idea reminds me of how LangChain works too, where you give it a task, and it comes up with actions, observations, thoughts, etc. For example: https://python.lan…

Even though it probably guess against the concept of it being as low tech and simple as possible, it's hard for me not to think of technical solutions! I'm imagining a WiFi AP you connect to…

This is what the author meant by debating linguistics :-)

Or ads in yellow boxes on the side, as it used to be

Very confusing and misleading charts. Makes it look as if bing is getting more traffic than google.

"will seem as distant as the days when using a computer meant typing at a C:> prompt". Isn't it "C:\>"? Did bill really write this post? :-)

Bought a pair of these glasses, Nreal Air, a few months ago. I find them useful for laptop coding without straining my neck. It's awesome to see more creative use cases for them!

“uh oh”, that was such a strange sound, in hindsight

As a power user, I much prefer denser and more information rich UIs. Just tried Windows 11 for the first time today. The file browser's "detail" mode (which I'd consider the power …

Exactly. Even those that used to be the leaders, Apple and Microsoft, seem to have forgotten the user aspect of a user interface.

The "flatness" in many designs these days really bother me. My 85 year old dad has completely given up on using technology. He has always struggled with it, but at least in the Windows 95 &#…

Is it correctly understood that this is useful for scaling the compute of a single logical application, probably maintained by a single team, and less for communicating across applications, where a tr…

Published 2023-03-18. Futuristic :-)

300 per month, 300*12=3600 per year, seems a lot lower than median for Brazil: https://www.levels.fyi/t/software-engineer/locations/brazil . Guess there must be a huge …

Same. Still waiting for the librem i ordered in 2019. Scammers.

When working on a shaky commuter bus, it's much easier to be precise with a trackpoint than a trackpad.

Too bad there isn't a way to use the network of the machine running the browser... Maybe one could write some code that intercepts any outgoing network traffic from the VM, and instead of sending…

Thanks for the insight and history brief, Russ!

Was just watching the Andor Star Wars series last week. Probably the artists took some inspiration from the soviet control rooms.

A monorepo is indeed not necessarily the one true best way for everyone. But it is _a_ way that works well for certain large corps, such as Google, that can dedicate teams to solve challenges that ind…

It surprises me that this works well enough to be useful. I would have thought that network latency, being orders of magnitude higher than memory latency, would be a huge problem. Latency Numbers Ever…

I believe a lot of mobile traffic to services like facebook/netflix/youtube use IPv6. That's a large percentage of internet traffic. And that allows telcos to NAT more customers onto fe…
