Pernosco https://pernos.co/ Is vastly better than any debugger I’ve ever used. Gdb is horrible, vs debugger is quite good but has strange limitations

This is the first time I hear ‘hyperscalar’. Is this generally accepted ? ( I’ve been using SIMD since the MMX days so am a bit surprised )

by Agingcoder 2y ago
Yes. That’s how it was taught to me years ago, that’s how it’s understood in the banking industry as well, incl the private sector. From a large eurozone bank : https://group.bnpparibas/en/news/money-creation-work

Sorry I wasn’t clear. By ´As a dev´ I meant that listing three files was not going to help you when things went wrong in production, and you had bizarre network problems because of problems with your cni, kernel vs kubernetes issues, etc. I

Yes - I almost view the server as a small cluster in a box, and an internal network with the associated performance impact when you start going out of box

What you’re saying is that starting a service in kubernetes as a dev is ok, what other people say is that operating a k8s cluster is hard. Unless I’m mistaken the managed kubernetes instances were introduced by cloud vendors because regula

Proper thread placement and numa handling does have a massive impact on modern amd cpus - significantly more so than on Xeon systems. This might be anecdotal, but I’ve seen performance improve by 50% on some real world workloads.

Sun dog and gold runner !!!! I had forgotten about these, but they were somehow hidden in my brain. I used to love diskmags ( Imphobia on pcs in particular ) but the format has afaik completely disappeared, and has been superseded by the we

100 lbs that’s significant. What are the implications of rapidly losing weight ? ( I’d expect even your body image changing to not be very easy )

Interesting. I traveled 15 years ago around california, over 4000 miles in three weeks. I remember being shocked at the state of the roads - some of them were downright dangerous, the car wouldn’t stay on the road, and I felt I was more or

Thanks. I didn’t realize how bad things were. I’m not American. Is this an example of America’s culture war I keep reading about ?

Based on my experience as a client, they’re not as reliable, Disney in particular. I thought it was a solved problem but it’s not apparently.

The problem is not so much paid political ads as imbalance in spending and tracking the real person behind the ad ? ( which is what you’re pointing at I think )
226.
by Agingcoder 2y ago
I don’t think so, this is not new. At least in France there are rules regarding political spending and advertising. The basic idea is that even with an unlimited amount of money, you are not allowed to buy significantly more tv time than yo

Understood. Based on my many years in a large org, what you’re describing depends on the large org, and more specifically on management. I’ve seen both : bad managers who let the boat crash and wouldn’t listen, and very good ones ( leading

My point is that if you build internal products usually there’s a lot less convincing to do, and it’s much easier to get a lot of control ( no marketing, communication, etc ). Now, if you want to ship a product to millions of people _and_ h

Why zero executive control ? I’d expect a company like google ( like most large orgs ) to have a very large amount of internal code for internal clients, sometimes developer themselves. My experience of large orgs tells me you can have cont

Thank you very much for the list.

Thanks a lot for the detailed answer. I agree with the gap, and I understand why people would like to pay for the premium. Where I work currently, wherever we don’t have the right people ( and usually because we can’t find them ), our cloud

Thanks. I work for a very large org, and cloud benefits are not obvious to me ( ie we’re large enough to absorb the cost of a team managing k8s for everyone, another team managing our own data centers around the world etc ). I view cloud as

I keep reading ´ Lift and shift is bad ‘ on HN - what is the opposite of lift and shift ? ( ´cloud native ´ does not mean much to me). Is it that instead of oracle running on a rented vm you use whatever db your cloud provider is selling yo

Well, I’m not sure that the Linux kernel would have been that successful without Linus’ people skills - granted some it is slightly subpar, but his ability to organize a large number of people and have them follow his lead ( that’s the tric

Perspective correct texture mapping was too expensive for the hardware available at fatmap time I think ? Edit: it was actually possible at the time.

by Agingcoder 2y ago
Yes I read fatmap. Writing software rasterizers was what got me into coding when I was a teenager. Quite honestly, it was a great way to learn: algorithms, hardware, assembly, software architecture, all had to be taken care of to get a usab
