Meta’s emissions were 3000x higher than they reported?! What the heck are they doing over there

If you’re the one working on this infrastructure, then why are the reports saying that it’s only 13%? Are you guys lying on the forms?
God damnit not this swill again. It’s not even close to triple, it’s like 15%. Read. The. Reports.
For real. Why does this misinformation keep spreading? I have the actual real numbers right in front of me now.
And it’s the same as what MIT Technology Review reported and what Google reported publicly.
The EU’s CSRD requires most of these companies to disclose their carbon emissions. So just go look it up, ya taints.
I see your concern, but in practice that’s not what happens in languages like Java and Python with exceptions. Not checking for exceptions is a choice because everyone knows you need to check in your top-level functions. Forgetting to catch is a problem that only hits newbies.
Oof, some of these comments. Sorry on behalf of the edge lords, OP.
But the entire point of Rust and Result is… to force you to make a choice of what should happen
Checked exceptions also force you to handle it and take way less boilerplate.
Nit: One engineer at a company saying something is not the same as that whole company saying something. I wish they would just say “Google employee insists…”
Zigbee or really any Bluetooth alternative.
Bluetooth is a poorly engineered protocol. It jumps around the spectrum while transmitting, which makes it difficult and power intensive for bluetooth receivers to track.
Yes. Supplier markup is 50% above cost, so set up a price watch and wait for it to go on clearance. You’ll get it 50% off.
I got mine new at Best Buy last year when they were clearing out M1 stock.
In summary, a bunch of 60 year old C developers with social deficits hijacking the conversation when he gives a talk or tries to get anything done. E.g. the link was people interrupting a QA session to complaining “I don’t want to learn Rust”.
This post was maybe true 5 years ago, but PC laptops have really started to suck. My macbook air was only $300 and it’s way better than my work’s $1k+ Dell laptop in terms of performance and battery life.
It is designed with privacy as an intent. It’s right on their home page, they say the data never leaves your phone. It’s in their privacy policy too. Those are legally binding.
FWIW, if it’s privacy you’re worried about, you can download the APK and decompile it. Shouldn’t be hard to verify it’s not phoning home.
I’ve tried a few journaling apps on F-Droid but ultimately couldn’t find anything as good as Daylio.
Because security through obscurity is not security at all.
I’ve been a big fan of monorepos because it leads to more consistent style and coding across the whole company. It makes the code more transparent so you can see what’s going on with the rest of the company, too, which helps reduce code islands and duplicated work. It enables me to build everything from source, which helps catch bugs that would only show up in prod due to version drift. It also means that I can do massive refactorings across the company without breaking anything.
That said, tooling is slowly improving for decentralized repos, so some of these may be doable on git now/soon.
10+ YoE here.
Companies’ hiring processes have become very slow. I applied and got interviews with 4 companies. I only got offers from 2 of them because the others were so slow. Meta was the slowest, 6 months to first interview.
That said, the offers were $800k/yr and $500k/yr total comp so I can’t complain. The catch was mandatory in-office in downtown SF. I’d have to move. It was a hard decision if I’m being honest.
They just added a fee so that AWS can’t copy it without paying. What’s the big deal.
They buy power plants and run it themselves. It improves reliability. For example, Google owns its own solar and wind farms.
People are downvoting because they want to hate AI. And hating AI is valid. There are many reasons not to like AI. Environmental and power reasons are not one of them.
Can we stop with the AI misinformation? AI is not slurping up consumer power. All major tech companies use privately generated, non-consumer power.
Bitcoin is still causing these power grid issues. It has been since 2019.
