The parrot on the OGs shoulder is the goal (besides raising the ARR lol)

I love it! Amazing work.

A slider to do a bit of time-travelling if possible would be also a nice to have

> Start with: “How do you spend most of your time?” Not “What do you do?” It opens people up beyond job titles.

This is something that feels alien in SF people. A fundamental difference for example from Greece and people living in SF is this.

- Greek opening question: "Which city are you from?" - SF opening question: "Which company do you work for?"

It was really enjoyable to read. And I also do not read a lot of fiction, with my last book being the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy series.

My verdict is that Project Hail Mary was way much more engaging in terms of story-telling. The concepts were cool, and tbh I look forward for the movie and see if the adaptation will be nice

Long story short, I didn't want to make that analysis/distinction because it would miss the point.

They excel in their respective areas based on the architectural decisions they've made for the use cases they wanted to optimize for.

PlanetScale, with their latest Metal introduction, optimized for super low latency (they act like they've reinvented the wheel, lol), but they clearly have something in mind going in this direction.

Neon offers many managed features for serverless PostgreSQL that were missing in the market, like instant branching, and with auto-scaling, you may perform better with variable workloads. From their perspective, they wanted to serve other use cases.

There's no reason to always compare apples to oranges, and no reason to hate one another when everyone is pushing the managed database industry forward.

I second this!

It is always about the trade-off between those two parameters.

Of course an increase in both is the optimal, but a small sacrifice in performance/accuracy for being 200% faster is worth noting. Around 10% drop in accuracy for 200% speed-up, some would take it!

What is the full stack you are using? What parts also require scaling up? DB, bandwidth orrr?

TIL higgs-bugson and Heisenbug

Nice I was loving Couchsurfing until they started aggressively monetising it. Had really great experiences with hosting people! Hope Couchers will revive the great experience of hosting people

I have no clue

This is a repeating study, seeing this again and again, so not sure about its novelty.

In Europe we even assigned our first "Chief Heat Officer", which makes total sense.

Amazing work! An interactive demo of how it work, before investing time to set things up would be really cool

> simplifying the algorithm to forego regex matching special tokens at all

Does that mean there could be cases with less quality in terms of tokenization?

Cleaning up repo to open-source a remote pair programming software: https://gethopp.app/

Built in Rust(tauri), GoLang TypeScript and Livekit as WebRTC infra

Definition of testing straight into the production, "what could go wrong"

Sure, buts its a nice exploration to layer 4 type of detection

Another one bloom filter post I really appreciated from Eli Bendersky if anyone wants to read more: https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2025/bloom-filters/

My personal thought experiment, or better explained as drawing parallels with game theory, around achieving immortality as humans—a feeling that we secretly but deeply think will be achievable anytime soon.

Agree, and really minimal breaking changes, exceptionally smooth migration for us. We start a few months before stable v2 and we did not have any problem upgrading.

Costa here, post author.

For the performance critical part, which is the screen-sharing and remote control, everything is done from Rust which is low level and gets the job done.

Native UI in this case wouldn't offer us much more. There is a case that maybe it could be faster in the video rendering in comparison from the browser's <video> tag, but we have not make any tests yet, maybe we should test this in the future.

Costa here, one of Hopp builders.

We chose to go native with Rust instead of just using the screen-sharing provided from Webkit for a few reasons: 1. Granular access to OS APIs. For example on MacOS you can select applications that you want to exclude from screen-sharing, which we know we want to use in the future. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/screencapturekit/c... 2. Being able to tweak the WebRTC client. In our case we patch libwebrtc for minor bugs, and tweak parameters to allow lower latency in video streaming 3.

Small post I made on how to debug performance of Golang executable.

Most posts online focus on HTTP servers and though it might be useful to some

Many front-end developers rush to call themselves “Senior” because they can build React apps, but how many truly understand the fundamentals of JavaScript?

After interviewing over 100 so-called “Senior” devs, I’ve found that too many struggle with basic concepts like closures, array methods, and loops. If you can’t explain why your JavaScript code works (or doesn’t), are you really a Senior Developer? What's your take and easy way to filter them out before reaching the code-pairing?

Like the article having the word "Delve" into the very first sentences

Its impossible though to be unbiased.

And I reflectm on my own biases, thus this observation.

Smart, your joke is valid.

Not so much. I believe in the wild there are less stock images in tech posts, as engineers would not even bother to search something generic.

I use Brave and I do that.

The most confusing part for me is that I am unable to "clap" or bookmark the articles inside medium when I use incognito, in order to revisit them in a future time.

Bookmarking them in Raindrop is the current solution for me, but still I feel that there is a lot of friction going on.
