Arm was using GitHub for source code hosting. But most of the new core infrastructure that Arm is deploying is on proprietary hardware, and "GitHub is a black box and so we would have to work with them or let them do the work, and it wouldn't necessarily be correct," Wafaa says. "Then we'd have to do reviews. We wouldn't necessarily be able to do the patch reviews because it's all private and proprietary code… that was a big factor for us choosing GitLab."

Seems garbled, what does the proprietary nature of GitHub have to do with code review process?

Are they just saying they can’t host a lot of the code publicly?

(We do have “square brackets” however.)

- Programming Languages (and then Compilers, my favorite)

- Algorithms

- Operating Systems

At a decent school with some level of difficulty, you'll learn the big picture while doing fun projects for homework, along with history.

Programming is a craft, not a science, but it overlaps with math in a lot of places.

You would think this would be empirically verifiable but I nor others could make heads or tails of his argument.

When I saw the guy also had a theory of unified physics, I gave up.

Still don't know, he might have been onto something.

lol

I'd be curious to know the history too. Did they really not forsee that external entities are a security hole?

This is why the web is stagnating with near Chrome monopoly, just like during (shudder) the IE years.

Same for Google itself. Bing/DDG are only half-assed competitors. Google seems to be making search worse for all kinds of bad reasons, just because they can.

I'd guess most people who use an alternative to gmail specifically don't want to use Google, not because something else is better.

More likely has to do with monopolization and business models that favor advertising over users.

Totally different inside the enterprise, one reason Borland & Embarcadero focused on it.

It was a huge downgrade in interactive functionality at the time, but the Web has slowly built up over the past two decades so it is almost as functional.

Brutal.

Science is a process, not a set of truths.

It’s good that more educated people are more skeptical.

Yes, with hours of effort you can make your review relentlessly positive and constructive, but then it still hurts and they probably don't have the ability to fix it.

You'll have to fix it for them, which is often harder than writing it from scratch.

It doesn’t matter that the host meant to do that. Now that the information is revealed, the probabilities have changed.

Obviously if the host revealed the car, that would also affect the probabilities!

What did you see that offended you?
