The writing is rather low quality, but seems to be consistent with their other posts.

Maybe to give credit they are being purposefully vague about details to avoid giving away the bait but still seem like you could give me details without literally copy and pasting the attack.

bro, relax

if you're going to lobby that criticism, you should atleast offer an alternative definition of popular...unless you're saying your usage of a tool defines its popularity

async python is awful. to me it is a by default avoid. and when you can't avoid, use only where it provides outsized benefit.

I think profiling is probably the lowest value good here, but would be willing to hear out stories of AI middleware applications that found value in that.

Cancelling tasks is probably the highest value good here, but I think the contending runtimes (TS/Python) all prefer using 3P libraries to handle this kind of stuff, so probably not the biggest deal.

Being able to write good Go code is pretty cool though; I don't write enough to make a judgement there.

by your logic, only considering part of the argument is as good as considering the entire argument.

Page is crashing my mobile chrome.

by making it a generic `t` you lose explicit syntax highlighting. Where something like JS template`string` could determine which syntax to use based on the template value.

I supposed when assigning it to a, variable: SyntaxRecognizableTemplate, you could give it the hint necessary.

was this discussed in the PEP?

*edit: reading the PEP-750[1] it doesn't seem like it..

how do you recommend working with Cloud Tasks?

raw dogging gcloud? Terraform? or something more manageable?

I've been curious for one of my smaller projects, but I am worried about adopting more GCPisms.

Getting generic namecheap placeholder

Not really familiar with this space but I think the entire Dojo/DIY strategy was kicked off because Elon wanted to not get cornered on supply or cost by nvidia. And infiniband is an nvidia technology, so they wouldn’t use that simply from strategic POV.

Are there other technologies they could have used?

Also, the 80us is supposed to be the worst case, where typical is supposed to be <10us. Again not knowing anything about infiniband, what’s the typical perf? I tried to google but the people who are talking about it are in the know in ways I’m not.

Thanks!

That down down down scroll affect was really cool, thanks for pointing to it

Why is that true of games but not other businesses?

Every time I’ve tried to do that, it doesn’t carry over.

Does it support all the configurations?

Go is getting hype because TS is old news. And people got tired of being nerd sniped into trying Rust and being let down.

It’s okay, hype cycles are good since it shakes up mainstream opinion and gets people to try stuff. Like a new trendy food. I don’t feel much in the ways about it.

How do you feel about Go outside of the hype cycle?

Zuck example was misleading I think. Since he’s been doing athletics since his teenage years, including combat sports (fencing and wrestling IIRC). His parents wanted him to be good at 3 sports, at least one of them being a team sport…I think.

Also, instead of “things that don’t scale”, I think it’s probably being more of a craftsman. Being at scale necessarily means “giving away your legos”[1]. Which can make your impact very detached. Being a craftsman brings you back. But idk, never been a CEO that’s scaled :)

Were they being sarcastic? Why is it funny/not? Thank you

Who else?

I’m curious about this but the free strategies are the least interesting. And so I dropped off there.

If you’re making money off the practice problems, why even gate the strategies?

Just a thought. Love the site design though!

Is there an age where parenting wouldn’t humble you? Or is a precise degree of humbling you’re trying to get at?

And what’s the sign you’re talking about? It sounds ominous but I didn’t get it.

I also don’t understand what smoking gun you’re seeing. IMO selfish is used too carelessly by the author. It’s not selfish, it’s just a want. Wants aren’t inherently selfish. And in that frame, I’d agree with the author. In typical western nuclear family setups, choice of children is usually a decision coming out of an individual want.

The transition he talks of is also typical in that stakes go up very quickly when the process kicks in. A human life is given a lot of value (in all sustainable cultures), and dealing with that can be really intense…if you’re allowed to feel it while trying to keep the children and yourself alive, which is typically very resource intensive. But the joy the author is talking about is very real.

There’s a pro-natalist group that described the joy as being able to appreciate the world from your children’s eyes, along with all their enthusiasm for it. The world anew.

And in that frame I can see a case of someone can do it too early. But nothing the author said indicated that to me.

I can buy that you wanna maximize the opportunities you are given, but is there nothing to be done about coming across more of those opportunities? Or being better about identifying them?

The interesting conclusion is not the weight loss but that the higher carb cohort had better results in both mass and strength. And it seems like the experiment was done on trained individuals, but don’t have access to full paper to verify the details.

Interesting indeed…

Things I’d wanna inspect: starting measurements to understand absolute gains, level of lifetime training, amount of control on diet, specifics of diet including the amount of deficit, ages, specifics of training during study.

(I guess I could ask ChatGPT) Can someone explain the code? The article didn’t really help me understand.

Build time isn’t the only benefit, but consider that the author is from ByteDance and how large their projects are.

Another important callout is how in Vite, native ESM modules are used in dev which makes it very slow for large apps with thousands of modules. So cold start of dev can be important too.

In practice HMR is mostly what you need and Vite has it covered. But slow tends to accumulate slow.

Came across some people that reversed serious myopia (upto 6 diopter) well into adulthood. They have interviews on their youtube channel.

These are all the same reasons to like Elixir.

For anyone that hasn’t tried writing Elixir style code with the pipeline operator should definitely check it out. It’s fun to iterate in the repl too, since you can build it sequentially without adding braces for nesting calls.

Almost two decades ago now, I came across a PUA book where the author emphasized the importance of telling good stories, along with some good practical tips on how to structure.

I’ve used them regularly to great success. I tried to give this advice to some of my friends for interviews who followed STAR method a bit too rigidly. It didn’t work out…but over time they organically became better story tellers through practice.

This is a large tangent, but the post gives good business communication tips. I wrote a more succinct guide for my team, but I think I’ll share this too. Our company suffers from slack disease, so stuff like this can really help.

WDYM? The slides?

I actually thought they were quite good.

I don't think Spanner is supposed to be cheaper than DynamoDB.

Why is it a better alternative? Does more data actually make a difference for something like this? Do you know anyone on Ozempic?
