pylua··on Show HN: New world record – verified Goldbach Conjecture up to 4*10^18+7*10^13
Honest question— how is this verified for accuracy ? What if there is a bug ?
pylua··on Are people bad at their jobs or are the jobs just bad?
Yeah, this is prevalent everywhere. It’s pretty crazy. I’m glad I’m not the only one that has noticed this.
pylua··on Why I'm No Longer Talking to Architects About Microservices
I think there is also a category of shared library like a color library. It could be a micro service but also could be a library. Since it is easy to have services upgrade to the newest version of it without having cross dependencies that may make more sense as a library.

I see what you are getting at though.

pylua··on Why I'm No Longer Talking to Architects About Microservices
One topic of debate at my company that I rarely see here is shared libraries vs micro services. Should logic or external calls belong in a shared artifact to be consumed by microservices or hidden away behind an exposed microsercice api?

The truth is that micro services are a tool. However your organization has broadly agreed to utilize the tool is the correct approach.

pylua··on One year after switching from Java to Go
Is it really to the point of challenging java ? Seems like Java is still the way to go here.
pylua··on One year after switching from Java to Go
No, the product has a lot of aop and I figure it would be difficult to make that work.
pylua··on One year after switching from Java to Go
Right. I didn’t started digging into it until I realized the application was clearly sluggish in certain scenarios. As I am doing this for fun I am going to see what kind of speed up I get in rust for this.
pylua··on One year after switching from Java to Go
That’s the pain point - well written java code may not be the most performant depending on the situation.

It wasn’t just optional but other areas as well.

pylua··on One year after switching from Java to Go
What do you define as medium size?
pylua··on One year after switching from Java to Go
I’ll have to look into burst cpu usage. Thanks
pylua··on One year after switching from Java to Go
In my game loop I was using optional. When I profiled it the use of optional was one of the slowest points that could be optimized using null checks and ifs.

There were a lot of other slow areas as well, not where you would expect it.

I’m also a long time java spring developer. I started writing a game recently and was really surprised about how bad the performance can be when you run it in a tight game loop.

The startup time is also a real problem, as you really want to be able to scale up pods quickly.

That said, it’s good enough right now. You can make it work at scale, and it’s worth the cost trade off of trying to do it more efficiently in a different language.

I would be curious to see how a rust microservice would compare in my companies infrastructure. How much cloud saving could we squeeze?

I have at least one persons information:

Homer jay simpson

742 Evergreen terrace, Springfield.

The only problem is I don’t know the state.

pylua··on So Many Unmarried Men
Once you are out of the dating game you may get married and start a family. That also has a mental overhead, and it can be hard to keep your kids schedules aligned with demands / timelines from work in tech.

I think you learn to bear the load more gracefullly as you age and mature. It also puts life more into perspective.

My main point is you learn to handle it, which is actually a good form of personal growth.

pylua··on Complex dynamics require complex solutions
The reason people summarize things, often without being correct, is that the world has become too complicated to model. It’s an outcome of the situation, not just a corresponding trend.

Are you saying Singapore is shipping gpus to china or building data centers inside Singapore for the Chines access ?
pylua··on Are Americans' perceptions of the economy and crime broken?
How so?
pylua··on Are Americans' perceptions of the economy and crime broken?
I don’t understand the crime one personally. Just a guess:

1) people who migrate to larger cities are exposed to more crime

2) not many people from the 1950s around that can really compare accurately

pylua··on OpenRA – Classic strategy games rebuilt for the modern era
Thanks for sharing this. I’m really excited to see scrin here!
pylua··on Are Americans' perceptions of the economy and crime broken?
Peoples financial situation has increased overall, just like mine has. Even though it’s increased and I’m content with the increase I also see that there is less opportunity than there was a few years ago.
pylua··on Are Americans' perceptions of the economy and crime broken?
I don’t think it’s that. I think it’s the coarse, high level statistics provided by the article aren’t in line with what the majority of Americans are experiencing.

For instance, crime may be decreasing, but it could be increasing where there are more people, meaning more people think crime is increasing. I’m not sure if that is true or not, but I feel like it is with perceptions of the economy.

pylua··on Are Americans' perceptions of the economy and crime broken?
I feel like Americans perceptions of the economy are accurate. It comes across as very disingenuous to state that how people are feeling aren’t aligned with the facts.

Maybe the data doesn’t tell the whole story or is being carefully curated. We probably shouldn’t try to piece together micro trends with coarse macro level statistics, as there is no guarantee that the macro effect is happening at the micro level.

pylua··on The Microsoft 365 Copilot launch was a disaster
Why was it Microsoft 365 in the first place? Does it not work on leap days ?
pylua··on The Microsoft 365 Copilot launch was a disaster
Just for their essays to fed into an llm at the end of the day owned by mega corp.
pylua··on Microsoft 365 Copilot launch was a total disaster
Yeah, right now it’s a feature of a product, not a product.

pylua··on Salesforce will hire no more software engineers in 2025, says Marc Benioff
I just use chat gpt. I use it in all manners — questions about the business domain I am in, front end and backend coding questions, as well as istio configurations.

I am well versed in all three areas, but obviously I can’t remember all the syntax, and don’t have time to trial and error the changes, and ai reduces that loop. I don’t use it to generate massive blocks of code, I use it mostly to demonstrate the principle of what I am trying to achieve.

I have many specific examples of massive time save.
