plot twist: they leave it up, collect telemetry to match and understand the data behind pirating vs. owned emulation, find it useful to open the platform, focus on services, and build their business to 10x on software almost exclusively
not probable, but that would be interesting to see
imo this is the biggest thing deno and bun have going for them. running typescript from the shell is so nice and easy
Finally a competitor to dbt. the world needs this!
Privacy, longevity, nutrition science, trust, deep space exploration.
I mean I get why everyone wants everything to be fuse-compatible but some things just aren't meant to be done.
Python’s standard library sucks
Maybe for production ready microservices, but I've always thought Python's std lib was pretty expansive.
I mean, is anyone really surprised by this? LLMs (as I understand them today) only predict the next token based on previous tokens, so there's no actual logical cohesion to what they produce.
Hey everyone, Jk here. I cofounded Jetty Labs to build data tools. The tl;dr here is that data teams use a lot of tools and understanding how access is configured across the growing stack is complex and exhausting. Jetty is a tiny peek at our broader vision of simplifying data privacy and we'd love you to give it a try and offer any feedback on the product.
I won't be surprised if DE ends up just falling under the "software engineering" umbrella as the jobs grow closer together. With hybrid OLAP/OLTP databases becoming more popular, the skillset delta is definitely smaller than it used to be. Data Engineers are higher leverage assets to an organization than they ever have been before.
There was an external audit in 2021 – https://research.nccgroup.com/2021/10/27/public-report-whats....
Someone fix the grammar on that last statement!
"We're don't view ourselves in competition with Meta"
I love this book! There is a lot of abstraction today that most software workers benefit from, but I think there is a lot of value in understanding lower-level mechanisms.
Isn't this... what everyone (that uses in-app browsers) does? I just assumed that's a big reason why one would use in-app over sending a person to their native environment, which is decidedly a better browsing experience.
The concept seems cool and the price seems reasonable if the quality is high. But how does this translate to value for subscribers? It seems like the company is treating curation as the core value prop but I see it as more of a means to some end.
Their podcast, "On the Metal" provides more context at the work they're aiming to accomplish.
Computer Systems: A Programmer's Persepctive
Can vouch for this one. Provides a great overview of systems through the lens of algorithms they are built on.
Shirer has a shorter book called The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler that was concise and clear. I look forward to reading this longer iteration on the same topic too.
You'd think he would have found someone to design a nicer cover for him.
What's the company you work for?
Props to you, putzdown, for bringing this up. The Bible is an often overlooked trove of wisdom
Completely agree on this one. Almost every conversation I have over religion or politics brings to mind the lessons I learned from The Righteous Mind.
Absolutely loved The Righteous Mind, it was one of my favorites this year as well. I just ordered his next one, The Coddling of the American Mind.

+1 to Nerdwriter. Really quality content.
A good accredited CE curriculum will require all of the CS fundamentals.
The video won't load on Chrome for me, but it works on Safari. Is this Google's doing?
This is the most inspiring thing I've seen in a long time. Humanity is awesome.
Amen to this!
I was just amazed that a google plus post got so high on hn.
And it now comes with Hulu for free! (At least in the US)
