- plorkyeranThe author seems to be unaware that Mongo internally develops in a private repo and commits are published later to the public one with https://github.com/google/copybara. All of the confusion around dates is due to this.
- Just don't open the home page except to navigate to the specific thing you need and when you do, don't look at the slop? The social media/posting element of linkedin is totally disconnected from the useful part of the site and you can just ignore it.
- If you have a dependency graph large enough for this to be relevant, it almost certainly includes a large number of files which are never actually imported. At worst the hit to startup time will be equal to the install time saved, and in most cases it'll be a lot smaller.
- Their h264 iframes were bigger than the jpegs because they told the h264 encoder to produce bigger images. If they had set it to produce images the same size as the jpegs it most likely would have resulted in higher quality.
- Dumping the entire file into google docs and then editing and corrections applied top to bottom is exactly my normal workflow. I do my writing in vim, paste it into google docs, and then do a final editing pass while fixing the formatting.
- I don't understand why you seem to think you're disagreeing with the article? If you're producing a lot of error logs because you have bugs that you need to fix then you aren't violating the rule that an error log should mean that something needs to be fixed.
- > grep (global regular expression print), awk (Aho, Weinberger, Kernighan; the creators’ initials), sed (stream editor), cat (concatenate), diff (difference). Even when abbreviated, these names were either functional descriptions or systematic derivations.
If you asked someone unfamiliar with unix tools what they thought each of these commands did, diff is the only one which they would have even the slightest chance of guessing. It's ridiculous to complain about "libsodium" and then hold up "awk" as a good name.
- In areas with partial coverage Apple Maps has basically the same overlay showing where Look Around is available. It just doesn't have a great indicator as to why the option is greyed out when there's no coverage.
- Browser developer tools let you edit all of the client-side code for a website, and these days it's pretty common for bugs to be in the client-side js.
- Amazon seems to be going for a model where they keep support costs down by making it progressively harder over time to actually contact a person, but when you do manage to you get a good experience. It's an interesting idea, and I suspect that the pleasant surprise at the end makes up for a lot of the frustration getting there.
- TouchID does more than just unlock the computer. It's usable any time you'd otherwise be prompted for your password.
- Microsoft never used SourceSafe for anything important internally.
- Driving 5 miles costs a lot more than $1.
- The price for each of those at my local supermarket when buying the low quality option in bulk:
English Muffin: 70¢
Slice of cheese: 40¢
Egg: 40¢
Slice of Ham: 50¢
Hash browns: 40¢
Coffee: $1?
In total $3.40. £5.09 for that in hot, prepared form ready to eat sounds cheap to me, not expensive.
- 30k gross, not net, so it's about equal to the median salary.
I would count moving to a significantly poorer country that you have no connections to in order to get your cost of living down a "frugal" way to stretch out your retirement fund.
- After the taking Tesla private tweet that got him in trouble with the SEC he hired some people, but that didn't last long. Tesla had a PR team until a few years ago but he probably did not listen to them very much.
- GCC's default has already changed once (to C++11). It did not cause any significant problems, and any software which is relying on the current value was created long after the flags to pick a standard version were added.
- I'm on my fourth iPhone in 13 years and have never replaced a phone because of anything related to physical damage. I'd still be on my third but T-Mobile offered such a large trade-in value for my 2020 SE that upgrading was the same price as replacing the battery.
- Even if it was some other vendor the fact that it's non-standard isn't great.
- One of the reasons to read books is to expose yourself to other perspectives. Reading 25 books from exactly the same group of people is just a waste compared to reading a diverse selection of books. You should read some books from the rich, power and ambitious. You should also read books from other people.
