I am utterly repulsed by this now-pervasive staccato impact writing. LinkedIn is a quagmire for AI-generated copy.

This was a great read, and a bit of a break from the noise. Kept me engaged the whole time. You’re a good guy.

I’ve always used AoC as my jump-off point for new languages. I was thinking about using Gleam this year! I wish I had more profound reasons, but the pipeline syntax is intriguing and I just want to give it a whirl.

Jon Gjengset (of MIT Missing Semester, Rust for Rustsceans, etc) shared a stream doing complex changes of increasing complexity to a geospatial math library in Rust. He’s an excellent engineer, and was able to pick apart AI-suggested change

To the author: I really enjoyed your style of writing. This had more explicit and realistic examples compared to other HN tutorials on the subject, and that made it easy to inhale in one sitting. Thanks for your work!

Similarly, there’s a special military unit whose motto is “Facta Non Verba”— deeds, not words. Talk is cheap!

I mean… Men are faster than women in the general case. It’s not really up for debate— it’s grounded in biological differences. Testosterone is essentially a steroid that women are not working with. There is a clear divide in the competition

My wife is an Olympian in a track event and we have also discussed this at length. CrossFit’s trademark of “the fittest on earth” for the champion of their international competition (… the name escapes me…) always elicits an eye rolls from

Thanks for your sanity. My wife is a (Canadian) Olympian and I almost feel betrayed by the level of condescension towards sports in this forum that I am normally aligned with. Like engineers denigrating the arts because it doesn’t generate

Recently attending the World Championships for Athletics in Budapest, supporting my fiancée in the 5000m. I'm not super athletic myself, but one of the country's notable figures is Ernö Rubik, inventor of the Rubik Cube. They had

I like running (now). I never played sports growing up, and would not consider myself particularly athletic. I joined my country's military as an officer, and always found myself running at someone else's pace, which was also awfu

This is purely anecdotal, but I had to complete Conflict of Interest administration for concurrent outside employment while serving as an officer in the military full-time. Basically-- follow internal policy governing this, to cover your ba

"That are still software based" is interesting. Are there hardware-based trading systems?

I guess my presumption was that algorithmic trading was a very tight feedback loop, with as many controlled variables (i.e., GC) as possible, so I think it just subverted some of my misplaced expectations.

by infamousclyde 3y ago
Fascinating application of the language and a terrific write-up. I would presume a GC language would normally be a disqualifying factor in real-time trading, but I think I'm coughing up some premature optimization, especially with what

This was really great, thank you so much for sharing.

Oh my god, same. I'm not exactly a cybersecurity whiz, but going through the details, it was like "Is this a PCAP? Is this a PCAP?". Good lord, this was a silver platter.

This is the premise of "Two Phones" by Kevin Gates. The lyrics are more or less just paraphrasing this comment.

As a guy who has run basic training for recruits in the military, I would say the most common is shin splints (by far), followed by tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, and in exceptionally rare cases, compartment syndrome (alth

This is kind of curious. Isn't that 2/3 energy slump usually associated with the marathon distance, as your body exhausts glycogen reserves? You shouldn't be bonking at 15k. Moreover, I would never recommend to stop eating ca

Yeah, I've read Born to Run too. I think it's pretty naive to deduce that the modern shoe industry is responsible for joint/tendon issues. Frankly, more pros would be wearing minimalist footwear if it was the cure-all as writ

Splits refers to the amount of time passed over a measured distance. A miler would be interested in their 400m split (the time they run through 1/4 of their race), and a marathoner would be more concerned with their mile/km split.

I don't think it's so black and white. Sometimes, races without pacers can have exceptionally slow splits (which-- admittedly, leads to a very exciting and tactical conclusion on occasion). These "slow" bouts are quite c

My partner regularly picks up pacing duties. It's pretty common for professional runners, and they receive some modest compensation depending on the size of the meet. Pretty trivial for a 1500 or 3k specialist to pace a 10k, for exampl

I mean, I think I understand what they're saying. A thirty minute tempo will develop your aerobic capacity more than a thirty minute easy run-- more or less analogous to progressive overload in weightlifting. That's not to say tha

Here to recommend CoRecursive as well! I would also recommend the SerenityOS episode for first-time listeners. The quality of the podcast, in general, is spectacular.
