Which is a thing that depend very much on team culture. In my team it is perhaps 15 min for smaller fixes to get signoff. There is a virtuous feedback loop here - smaller PRs give faster reviews, but also more frequent PRs, which give more frequent times to actually check if there is something new to review.

If I'm deep in coding flow the last thing I'm going to do is immediately jump on to someone else's PR. Half a day to a day sounds about right from when the PR is submitted to actually getting the green light

Does your team just context switch all the time? That sounds like a terrible place to work.

Similar in my team and I don't feel like there's much context switching. With around 8 engineers there's usually at least one person not in the middle of something who can spare a few minutes.

How can everyone be familiar with everybody else's work?

Usually at most 2-3 engineer have enough context to fully understand what your code is doing.


If you changed from glibc to jemalloc and that solved your issues, then you should blame glibc, not the JVM.

Well, indeed - I thought that part was obvious reading it.

I'm actually somewhat surprised Iran is openly telling us they are using underwater drones for this. That piece of technological advance has gone mostly under the radar (!) so far.

The Ukraine would like to have a word.


FYI, "The Ukraine" is politically charged wording held over from Soviet times, and implies that it is part of Russia. The independent country is known simply as "Ukraine".

There are plenty of languages with gendered country names. Ukraine is die Ukraine (feminine gender) in German and the article is necessary since changing the article changes the meaning of what you're expressing. Whenever I see/hear "the Ukraine" I assume English is their second language.

Yes, my bad, I am not an english native, thanks for the reminder.

How do you explain "back in the USSR"?

For the same reason as "The UK" or "The USA" - all of them are acronyms starting "The Union of ..." or "The United ...".

Similarly you say "The commonwealth of Massachusetts" but not "The Massachusetts".

This does not apply to Ukraine, unless you want to say "The Republic of Ukraine".


You don't know how lucky you are, boy...

... or "Born in the USA"

It’s Ukraine, no “the”.

In many languages the article is necessary. I assume English is their second language.

Yes but as one of the other commenters pointed out, its a charged term when it comes to Ukraine so its worth mentioning to people that use it accidentally.

The drones that are mainly used there are the flying kind.

"Mainly" but they've been assaulting Russian boats and ships with USVs and submersibles.

For example - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Baby#Sub_Sea_Baby


Ukraine completely locked up the Russian fleet inside its bases with the underwater drones.

Underwater drones, not drones in general.

Ukraine has been sinking Russian warships in their harbor using underwater drones for at least a year now.

What defense is there against something like this? AFAIK only a few US aircraft carriers are equipped with anti torpedo torpedoes, and one of those sitting in the straight would be pretty vulnerable.

Of course that could be the entire idea.


The calculation is that of course there are defences, but if you have a big stockpile of $20K drones, and your opponent has a limited number of $2mil drone interceptors, then you can keep throwing drones and keeping your opponent busy there, and you're coming out ahead even before one finally gets through.

I'm doing crystal bindings for pipewire and wayland clients. It is nice to be able to do so much with so little. github / yxhuvud / [pipewire_cr | wayland_client]

I'm not certain I buy it, but I find it a little hard to motivate the training being fair use if used to regenerate the project in a different licence.


It is fairly ok for meetings and calendar integration.

It is dogshit at chatting, however.


> It is fairly ok for meetings

… when it works. And if you never have to change camera or microphone settings.

> and calendar integration.

The little notification that pops up telling you your meeting is about to start based on your calendar? The one you better not click in the first 5 or so seconds it's there, because then you'll end up with an error message that tells you absolutely nothing, have to go back to the chat, and try again?

No, it's not usable. For anything.


We would have, if the expensive memory was a long term trend. It is not - eventually the supply will expand to match demand. There is no fundamental lack of raw materials underlying the issues, it is just a demand shock.


Also, it's not like we have regressed in the process itself either, which was historically the limiting factor. As you said this is purely an economics thing resulting from a greedy shift in business focus by e.g. Micron.


What you are asking for is to make a library definition replacement to .h-files that contain sufficient information to make rust safe. That is a big, big step and would be fantastic not only for rust but for any other language trying to break out of the C tar pit.


What Apple restricts and is legal are not the same. Apple is doing malicious compliance and the legal system ain't buying it. But it takes some time and iterations to shake out.


The legal system has said absolutely nothing about what Apple is doing yet.


In many cases government texts are not covered by copyright, so it may not even be relevant here, regardless of it is is allowed to copy the data or not.


In the UK government records are generally covered by Crown Copyright (which is its own slightly more restrictive weird thing) rather than in the public domain. I haven't checked to see what the status of the court listings are, but the default is very different to the US.
