@theegildedcunt i’m seeing Alvvays twice

@ohabryka @thiagovscoelho Sure, morally inclined questions have subjective answers based on your own option and values. The point is about attributing seemingly arbitrary probabilities to your feelings. Saying something has a 80% chance of happening based on a feeling means… nothing?

I don't think I understand. What you are saying sounds like "Saying that you believe that slavery is bad doesn't mean anything. Someone else could say the opposite and have a different opinion, so it doesn't communicate something". But that seems obviously wrong, so I don't get it.

like, aella thinks she’s 70% likely to die from AI in 10–15 years. why not 69% or 71%? well, no reason, and an interval doesn’t make it better because there was no calculation, she’s expressing vague feelings using an exact number because her culture thinks that makes sense

@MrRBourne Arguing over which place is objectively better for everyone is so tiring and 9/10 times rage bait. Anyone deciding where to live based on a Twitter thread is dumb. Both places have a lot to offer, and if you need pro-con list you won’t be happy in either.

There's a European upper middle-class cope which basically says "yes, America might look richer, but there's no work-life balance, culture, or accessible healthcare." What I've learnt moving here is that, no, for genuinely comparable professionals, America is just much richer.

It's been a long research, then OSS, and building journey, but launch day is finally here! 🚀 At Unikraft we're happy to announce KraftCloud, a next generation cloud platform , where cold starts, scale to 0 and autoscale take milliseconds -- never pay for idle again!

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO?!?

@caarlos0 I have gone through this process and just got my German citizenship last week. My relatives also immigrated to Brazil. If you have any questions I’m happy to help.

I decided to try to get the german citizenship (as I am german descendent) Started to gather names and dates and research Apparently, my great-great-great-father/mother and my great-great-father appear in a EUA census in 1930

Arenas are nice! > To reduce the danger of memory leaks, PostgreSQL has implemented its own memory management system: memory contexts. Memory contexts are chunks of memory that can grow on demand. You never directly malloc() memory in PostgreSQL, but you request memory from a memory context. If necessary, PostgreSQL will extend the memory context. cybertec-postgresql.com/en/memory-cont… git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=post…

@_chenson__ People take different things out of it, I guess. I enjoy trying to crack the problem as quick as possible. It’s fun. But I can see how someone wants to take it seriously. I don’t have the time to do that everyday so I’m fine with 30 minutes hacky code.

People saying it only takes 30 minutes each day suggests to me some combination of: - much more skill than me at programming quickly - messy code they don't clean up - stopping before the hard days - less experimenting with new languages - less nice types/data structures

@VicVijayakumar At the very least it helps you understand how other developers think.

@VicVijayakumar It doesn't hurt to do so. I'm not willing to die on any side of the hill here, but I think it's a relevant book in our industry albeit polarizing. Reading to understand what the author believes in does not imply applying everything they say.

I have never read Clean Code and you don’t have to either.

@quebecween Six ambient instrumental albums I love with all my heart

i can’t stand people who have the same exact taste as me like you gotta put me on to something new

@lucasfresno Não peguei esse tempo, então é difícil de comparar. Mas o rateyourmusic.com tem isso também

em 1999 o mp3 ponto com tinha charts por estilo / por cidade e 24 anos depois as plataformas ainda não têm… imagina q massa, chart de rock, de segmento dentro do rock, eletronico e por ai vai, ainda mais segmentado por cidade. ia ser tão massa.

Alright, it's happening. @HashiCorp ignored our pleas to keep Terraform open, so we created a fork called OpenTF. We've submitted all the paperwork to add it to the Linux Foundation, and hopefully CNCF soon after. Join us in keeping Terraform open! opentf.org/announcement

Most of the career advice I see on this platform is not applicable to systems level software (OS, compilers, etc). As I promised a cpl of weeks back, here's some tips from my career on how to develop your own career, including a real life story of how we hired @iavins : glaubercosta-11125.medium.com/career-advice-…

@jessfraz I think a lot of people won’t care about these if they are paying a third of the price for the content.

For example would you rather have your audiobooks read by an AI that can, sure, pronounce everything etc, but they can’t add interesting voices / inflections / do things based on author intent. I guess I just like more creative shit or maybe I’m missing how advanced these can get.

With people being able to generate mid content, blog posts, video voice overs, I think people will just get better at filtering the genuine & authentic from the generated grift. Until one day people just stop creating the BS since no one views it so why waste the money.

No better feeling than writing monstrous bash one liners

@micahlerner I love that. Thanks for doing it. I feel like there is vacuum in content focusing on CS papers since Adrian stopped writing The Morning Paper (blog.acolyer.org).

I’ll be returning to streaming/writing about academic computer science next week after a short break - follow me on YouTube (@micah_reads_papers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@micah_reads_p…) or here to receive updates :) I’ll be finishing up papers in my queue from OSDI, USENIX ATC, and other conferences earlier in the year. I’ll also be reading a new crop of papers from SIGCOMM and (soon) my favorite conference, SOSP (Symposium on Operating Systems Principles). Until then, here’s a picture of me eating smørrebrød (Danish open face sandwiches) in Copenhagen!
