Just be careful not to dump the waste chemicals…

Can’t think of anything that’s better

Imo it’s a little more scary if you imagine this being exploited on many machines. You could push “approved” code

Seems like a recipe for unmotivated and low quality govt.

Llvm has a lot of tutorial style docs. I’d recommend starting with the official llvm website

I’d like to read about this - can you point me towards some reputable articles

Note that some of these ppl also work to reduce carbon emissions at a macro scale. I do not know the size of that impact

I disagree with the title but found myself agreeing with many points in the article.

“Don’t be condescending” seems like generally applicable advice. But IMO, sometimes you just know something the code submitter doesn’t (or vise versa) and discussing that can be useful. And i think that’s pretty much teaching!

I distinctly remember reading this book in high school and being shocked at the end. In retrospect I guess that’s a sign it was a good book.

Maybe of interest https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/single-pilot-planes/index...

Kind of an interesting comparison. According to Wikipedia, virtu is about 1/8 the size. But other than headcount and apparently market cap they seem fairly close by the numbers.

I didn’t know Ruby did this - cool. I agree it’s not the most robust way to write a jit, but it’s prob the easiest

One underrated way to jit is to write some code, spawn a compiler, then link to a shared object. Takes 2 mins to write and sidesteps a lot of complexity

Technically he’s probably one of the poorest people in the world

I think there’s a big difference which is that your computer is allowed to crash when one component breaks whereas a distributed system is typically more fault tolerant.

I hope the journalist sues the Governor’s office

Maybe preference was the wrong word for me to use. “Reasoning” might make more sense?

If comments don’t impact the code base or the people involved, then yeah they’re not useful.

This is a big factor. I’ve experimented with in person code reviews but it’s kind of annoying to organize. Definitely open to ideas on this front.

> Strive to be intentional, focused, and sparing in our reviews.

I get this but I prefer the opposite. By over communicating your preferences, asking questions, leaving “if I follow this correctly” comments, and generally not holding back, you create lots of chances for discussion and knowledge sharing. And you’ll catch more bugs.

This is especially true when a junior dev is involved.

Maybe we can fund a big sign that says “warning: you are entering a highly policed area. You are advised to find an alternate route!”

Oof

Really missed an opportunity to give something to people for free

The article says some employees were assaulted. Wouldn’t it make more sense to arrest the perpetrators than sue the company ?? Not saying this is wrong but it seems like the perps are still out there.

Many banking jobs have been vocal about trying to keep offices open despite Covid. I’d expect adjacent industries to be similar

One reason is that c++ is a stable “api” whereas llvm ir is a somewhat moving target

OT:

My only exposure to grammarly is YouTube ads, and I noticed they often show women struggling to write (I think 3/4 of their actors are female). Two theories:

- grammarly is subtly sexist

- most characters in ads are women

Anyway I never had an outlet for this thought so posting here

I used to use dash but found that just downloading websites works pretty well too

Hire 6 ppl worth 100k per year but only pay them 50k per year.

9am is the _worst_ time. If you get a night owl interviewer, you’re probably making them wake up early…

The funny thing is Ford owns a chunk of them. Yet Ford stock went down today.

(Also to be fair they’ve sold a handful of cars…)
