Yes, but you expect much better from a seasoned engineer.

One man’s extremely horrible mistake and look how the whole industry has been suffering for decades - countless articles debating the existence or absence of comments, new formats, new parsers, new ways of adding comments, post-processing,

I mean if it doesn't fit the team's or the project's stage, don't do them daily. Simple! I just solved it for you. Not sure why we need tons of articles on scrum to state the obvious :-). Are the engineering teams so dum

Slightly off topic: Learnt a new word today 'vulgarization' which seems to have a completely different meaning from the obvious. Thanks.

Hahahaha, what a joke Google has become! Another half baked name change. Looks like no one really cares anymore at Google.

This is excellent. Thanks for sharing. It's always good to go back to the fundamentals. There's another resource that is also quite good: https://jaykmody.com/blog/gpt-from-scratch/

A whole article about getting a job in tech and no mention of the abominable leetcode. Surprise! From junior to principal Leetcode is here to stay. Good luck solving 2 problems in 35 mins.

Meta is less leetcode oriented? I'm shocked to read this. Meta is the poster child for leetcode style interviews. Meta requires you to solve 2 leetcode style questions in 35 mins (out of 45 mins - first 5 mins for initial pleasantries,

Even though the title has the word "translation" in it my mind ran to Apache Kafka :-).

Glad that people are realizing the ChatGPT/AI hype that is driving all companies nuts by creating unnecessary peer pressure to integrate some kind of GenAI in their products even if it doesn’t make sense.

Why are Meta quarterly results so special that they always enjoy the front page of HN?

Thanks for sharing. This is so disheartening. The other day I was debating with my friends how a doctors life is so cool that they don’t have to go though grueling coding interviews every single time they want to change jobs, don’t have to

Did you create a throwaway account specifically to write a snarky comment here? Looks like this practice is becoming more common.

Automatic resource management thanks to RAII. To me this is the most important thing.

Ask HN: Why doesn't HN have collapsible threads?

It’s 100% truth my friend. Denying or flagging my comment doesn’t help anyone.

Horrible article. So many things are wrong. As with any thing in this industry, there's a pretty big spectrum and nothing can be generalized. Someone with a decade of experience simply cannot write such an article. This is click bait a

Try writing high performance math in Java even for CPU.

by eclectic29 2y ago
I acknowledge C++'s safety concerns, but no, Java is definitely NOT running rings around C++ perf. Not a single AI/ML model is implemented in Java. The core of AI/ML runs on C++ only. You may see a lot of Python, but the core

With all due respect Stroustrup seems completely delusional about real software out there in the wild. He needs a dose of reality.

Not angry. Having a discussion :-). It just amazes me how the HN crowd is more than happy with just trying out a model on their machine and calling it a day and not seeing the real picture ahead. Let ignore perf concerns for a moment. Let&#

And what will you do after trying it? Sure, you saved a few mins in trying out a model or models. What next?

Of course, you can support concurrent requests. But Ollama doesn't support it and it's not meant for this purpose and that's perfectly ok. That's not the point though. For fast/perf scenarios, you're better off
