That's wonderful they emphasize that so strongly. I hope the rest of the culture is as healthy. If so, it sounds like a lovely place to work.

Sounds exactly like a yacht.

It's hard for people to understand because it's not all-or-nothing. There are plenty of "bred to be violent" dogs that will go their entire lives without doing so. People see that as proof that there's no increased risk, but that's not how statistics works.

It's got some decent usage internally, but it's small potatoes next to Borg.

Keep is dead?

It's not a new car when it's brought through customs, so you save a bunch on duties.

I work at a BigCorp. A sister team develops client software for Windows. Can you guess what kind of laptops the engineers have?

Titus is the head of the C++ org. He's pretty chill, not at all pompous like you seem to be implying.

There are different degrees of "pay attention". You should consider how Hyrum's Law affects your development; that is, feel free to change that hash function but be aware it's going to break someone.

What I think you mean is: don't live in fear of Hyrum's Law.

It absolutely applies to physical things. If I buy a widget you sell, I can do anything I want with it, including resell it.

There is such a reasonable middle ground, but Android is falling down that slope at an alarming rate.

50^24 is roughly 59.6 duodecillion, if you were curious.

"What lessons did we learn?" is an excellent question, but it's the reaction of a seasoned professional. The reason we have to teach that outlook to new grads is people don't think that way by default. It's unrealistic to expect that reaction from the general populace.

The cloud providers have been buying Intel for years and can't afford to just throw thos chips away. AMD is capturing a much larger proportion of data center CPU sales, but you should still expect to see them buying Intel as well, since AMD can't produce enough chips to satisfy all demand. Also, qualifying new platforms is very expensive so cloud providers will continue to buy already-qualified platforms for as long as the perf/W makes sense.

Adding water to the air is literally adding latent heat. That's what the term means. Point taken about how that decreases sensible heat, though, thanks.

Thanks, that makes sense. I should have realized this given removing latent heat adds sensible heat.

They took them from someone's phone.

> Yes, the evaporating cools down the room, though I can't say I ever noticed it.

How does adding latent heat reduce the sensible heat? Are the clothes washed in very cold water?

The alternative was to keep going with the previous version of the app, which even supported installing extensions directly from an xpi. It's nice that they support an adblocker or two, but I need much more out of my browser than that.

"Technical reasons" doesn't really cut it. There are frequently technical reasons involved in making a bad decision. That's not a justification.

Sure, let's talk about FF Android removing extension support and only adding it back in a very limited way.

I really enjoyed Nier Automata -- I'd say it's a solid second place -- but it doesn't hold a candle to Horizon: Zero Dawn. The storytelling was superb, and the gameplay was really good too.

What's the difference between stability and growth? If the economy isn't growing, people consider it "stagnant". Shrinking is "a recession".

Got a link to the FT article? I'd enjoy reading those comments.

> There's no such thing as non-production/production systems

Strongly disagree. If it's an isolated copy of your production system with fake credentials, fake data, etc, there's no associated risk. We explicitly turn off various security checks in our nonprod environment because it makes it easier to poke around and debug issues. That would never fly in prod, for obvious reasons.

AWS is going for "the internet's backend". I don't see how that's any different. A SPOF is still a problem, no matter where in your stack it lives.

Yeah, tech lead.

Exactly this. I'm TL for a large team. I get to set strategic and technical direction for our entire org and manage no one. It's fantastic. If I had more time to write code, it would be my dream job.

I saw the 5700/6700 claim at the time, but I was never able to find someone willing to buy my 5700 for what a good 6700 was selling for.

I mean, have fun? You're gonna get most stuff like go/thor-design or go/zanzibar. It's not as if go links are go/our-disney+-competitor.

There are. Some are very collegial, others are...not quite Amazon, but they lean in that direction. Never work in Payments.
