[1/*] If we take the chance that a tool (compiler, linker, batch, whatever) remains working for a particular codebase after one year as a given probability p, then the chance that build remains working after x years is p^xn, where n is the number of tools used in the build.

The Verge This is a horrible abuse of the security imagery Apple has spent years cultivating and acclimating users to. It is tantamount to a virus warning, and its sole purpose is to crush apps that use payment methods that compete with Apple’s own. This is more than malicious compliance.

I read this article about software development, which I knew about because I saw Prime reacting to it: notashelf.dev/posts/curse-of… For the most part I think it is fine: a relatively young programmer is doing the healthy work of introspecting on what he should really be doing. But

Some people might read this and think, that's just not my world, I am stuck in this world where software breaks all the time and everything I build is disposable. Even if that is kind of the case for you, there is still good news, because this isn't an all-or-nothing problem.

The worst part of my job is debugging libraries/drivers made by big companies. I am extremely happy every time I find that the bug was actually in my code, or code written by my teammates. Those bugs are easy to fix.

This is very disingenuous. The dichotomy is not „wasted nanoseconds vs. unreadably hyperoptimized code“. Modern software often takes many seconds to do trivial tasks. The problem is that developers nowadays make their programs 10,000 times slower while also making everything

And this is the real reason why software is slow: it's not because of a specific thing (like dynamic dispatch), it's because many programmers working today - including the ones who write books telling you how you should program - have no idea how things work under the hood.

If you work in tech, go to your nearest Best Buy (google it, it’s a store for normal people) and buy a $500 windows laptop made by a legacy vendor. Not a Chromebook. Go through the 60m setup flow full of SaaS ads. Feel it lag when you press Start. Experience notification hell.

Applying high pressure to check how stable the simulation.

It can all be so much more beautiful. Even the simple things... the soaps, the sinks, the lamps, and even the door knobs. All of it could delight us, if only we cared a little more. The problem isn't a lack of money. The problem is apathy. Making something beautiful begins with

16-year-olds that are clever enough to ask for early business advice don't need advice. Don't listen to anyone, just go make something.
