I’ve found they have changed the shortcuts I got used to and have kept releasing quite significant UI changes regularly. Not really what I want from a terminal. Tbh it’s felt like they took something nice and just piled AI slop features onto it presumably to hype it to investors. Pity.

Choosing a name like that made me think they were acquired by TigerBeetle. Come on like

I’ve noticed the app has gotten a lot slower and buggier on iOS in the last few years. Kind of wondered what they were writing it with.

How much did they get acquired for?

Would be interesting to see the EU say none of the projects it funds can use AWS until Amazon play ball.

Yeah I gave up on it trying to sync photos. The apps on the desktop and mobile gave no indication of its state processing files. So I was waiting after a large upload for replication to occur days later and I didn’t know if it would ever complete.

Bill Gates can sleep happy knowing Ubuntu will never be a challenge to windows

Can someone explain this to me like I’m 5? I thought web assembly was primarily run in a browser. Is this saying you can run a wasm binary in your go project (outside of the browser)?

How exactly can your IT department whitelist all software on your device? Are you using any build tools that install third party dependencies or are you using any development tools that do the same? Is your shell locked down so you can’t run command as a super user?

I assume your IT just has a whitelist for some stuff but I can’t imagine actually being a developed without super user privileges. Unless your doing some sort of very controlled software development.

Kind of amazing they are still a going business. I didn't realise any companies really used lisp for anything. I assume whoever is paying them money is doing so for some really niche or legacy?

Yeah I can’t say I disagree with you. The tone of it stuck me as terrible though.

The author sounds absolutely horrible.

You don’t. You just fire the number based largely on cost and let the remaining people pick up the pieces.

At least under UK contract law such a term isn’t valid as pre calculated damage clauses are considered null.

I'll make these four lines of code a function in case I need to call it more than once later on - you know, what if that's needed?

The code example is not always right.

Beware, if you know it will be needed, you might as well make it a function now. Likewise if you think probably it will be needed, why not make it a function now?

It’s not a good review comment or rejection to say “yeah but I don’t want to do that because it’s not yet needed”. Sure, but what if you are just being lazy and you don’t appreciate what it should look like long term?

The “I don’t want to write a function yet not needed” is not a clear cut example.

WhatsApp doesn’t provide anything messenger doesn’t. As far as I can tell, WhatsApp as a product reached its ‘market fit’ years and years ago, in that they stopped bothering trying to add anything to it. Real pity in some ways its not even slightly extensible

The NHS is massive bureaucracy. What it does or doesn’t do is peering inside the belly of a Byzantine whale.

The article is a misnomer calling him an ‘amateur’. Its a click bait title. He’s shown himself to a world leading researcher in the application of AI to cancer screening.

Plenty of managers in the NHS can’t even do simple math.

Tbh I’ve found powershell approach better and also more verbose. Powershells commands are all named in the same way, with built-in support to make finding commands straightforward. Though it takes a while to get used to it. Explorability is better IMO with an approach like powershell. The downside is even though you can setup aliases, it still seems like powershell scripts are longer to input that bash and sometimes not as powerful.

Yeah I had an interview like this recently. First part of the interview proceeded well as they asked me to read different bits of code and how different language features worked.

Then I was asked a brain teaser that I bombed. And that was the end of the interview.

There's a wider issue around any cloud SAAS offering. You really need to keep local copies of stuff if you want to be sure you can reproduce your build. As there's a chance, even a good-natured cloud provider will be forced to take something that you rely upon down.

Yeah I didn't really expect they would get an original copy of the material. However, what worried me was how does the process prevent malicious DMCA notices? Could I just start filing DMCA notices against repos I don't like?

I forked a repo on GitHub. A few weeks later a DMCA take-down notice was issued against the repo (and all forks). Someone claimed the repo had stolen their copyrighted stuff.

Unfortunately, I couldn't verify whether the claim was correct because I wasn't provided with a copy of the original copyrighted material. So it wasn't possible for me to tell if the DMCA was genuine or not. I suspect the DMCA claim was valid but it was impossible for me to tell.

GitHubs process around the DMCA did not fill me with joy.

May the opposite be the case? If Amazon really wants to prevent unions appearing in their employment relations, doesn't Amazon need to close this down now?

I'm not saying that's good. But I'm saying Amazon might think it can't afford to let the employees unionise.

Amazon has historically had the capacity to be ruthless. For example in it's fight against collecting state taxes, it shutdown third-party sellers in states that introduced laws requiring Amazon to collect state taxes. Eventually Amazon lost that battle, which paved the way for Amazon opening more fulfilment centres in more states.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon announced the closure of this fulfilment centre. It would seem dramatic but if it kept other centres from unionizing I could see Amazon taking the short-term discomfort.

I don't know what Amazon's calculation will be in these circumstances. If Jeff was still in charge I reckon the fulfilment centre would be closed down.

Clickbait title I would say. The 'big' issue with TDD is whether it's worth the time needed to do it. If it was obviously always worth the time, then I think we wouldn't even talk about it. (Do we worry about whether breathing is worth it? Nope, we never talk about that because the answer is apparent.) Whether it's worth it depends on the context.

This is interesting to wonder why Intel stumbled so much and has lost so much ground. I suspect the basic premise of this article - that C-level were focused on share price rather than innovation - probably explains it as well as any one thing can.

some big company ought to buy him out right now...

Seems interesting. Not sure I see it taking off.

Thanks that is a helpful link.

Sorry for being an idiot. I don't quite understand the point of the tool. You have to have two different versions (x and y) of the same database running? And you're trying to work out how the versions diverged (e.g. what sql statements you'd need to issue to change x into y)?

I'm sort of confused. Is this for people who don't know how to write database migrations? Surely not. What is this for? Sorry for being stupid.
