Generating code at runtime is often an anti-goal because you can’t easily introspect it. “Build-time” generation gives you that, but print often choose to go further and check the generated code to source control to be able to see the chang

Java is both compiled (first to bytecode, then to machine code by the JIT) and fast (once JIT compiled).

Let’s be a little charitable here- having and raising children has been a much, much more dangerous proposition health wise even at your parents generation to say nothing of your grandparents generation.

10x reduction in latency, higher storage costs with lower access costs (SSD instead of spinning disks). So high I/O, small files situations (with no need for cross AZ access) are where the benefits can be found.

Or like SSD’s vs spinning disks…

Yikes. I did have to go down a little rabbit hole to understand the semantics of that builtin (I don’t normally write C if that wasn’t immediately obvious from the question) but that seems like a really questionable interpretation of “this

> This seems like a bad idea, because the whole point of an assert is that something shouldn't happen, but might due to a (future?) bug. And so it’s a bad idea because…? The whole idea is to notice a bug before it ships. Asserts are

LLM’s are spitting out responses based on their inputs. It is (or was) shockingly effective, but there is no generalized math processing going on. That’s not what LLM’s are, that’s not how they work.

The other “tabs” here are other airplanes in flight, depending on being able to land before they run out of fuel. You don’t just ignore one and move on.

> "Pick two randomly" requires no state. Every thread and server can run the same algorithm without regard for each other. That’s not quite true. Picking between two “buckets” still requires knowing how many “balls” are in each

Hopefully they end up with a German market only SKU before the next generation of hardware ships, otherwise it’s a real missed opportunity.

The cost of time from the interviewers is likely to be more expensive since you have senior people interview candidates for senior roles.

It’s not only uninteresting- it’s wrong. Linear costs of bad decisions can kill a business in so many ways.

My guess is equity holders in Linode fully expect Akamai to destroy the brand, and that’s fine because they’re cashing out today.

They didn’t say they weren’t balloons, just that they were calling them “objects” and not balloons. Sure, that could be because they definitely want to emphasize the “we don’t know who owned them” aspect and calling it a balloon would immed

I think declaration vs use Sue distinction is much more helpful to reason about in this context, and named tuples are a classic example of “if you didn’t declare these tuples to be compatible at definition time, it’s probably a bug to let y

Maybe a low latency hybrid cache & query engine where data is mostly in memory but some computation (eg: aggregation at different percentiles on the fly) with low latency requirements would benefit. Generally speaking, something where:

They don’t even learn, they confabulate. “Correct” responses are an accident, and there is no notion of (especially medical) correctness involved.

My basic suggestion is that the standard library _should_ be useless at supporting multiple languages, because it’s not a goal that can be achieved for almost anyone’s actual use case. You’re going to have to actually design internationaliz

It seems reasonable to me that this is not a compile time constraint, but rather one of tooling and the deployed environment- ie: is the Japanese translation available here at runtime? How? Is there a runtime configuration flag? Is the tran
