Anyone who is able to reliably predict which stock valuations are actually fairies and unicorns can become insanely rich doing so. With this great insight, surely you'll be a billionaire in 10 years through short selling?

Not exactly, Prettier is a far more opinionated formatter than Eslin will ever be. As far as I know, Eslint can't format one line into multiple lines, and vice versa. Whether that's desirable or not is up to the you, of course.

What a bizarre article. How can an employer not be allowed to keep track of when you work?

Looks like ML workloads is the primary use case here, no amount of goroutines will help you there as long as the ecosystem doesn't exist.

It's actually better when things aren't written in Rust, because then you have something to evangelize!

Norwegian here, where are those 36% that aren't electrified? I thought pretty much everything was built electric since the 50s.

It pisses me off so much that Go doesn't have a built-in way to wait for a goroutine to complete, similar to how every other language I've used allows joining threads. Would avoid all this, solve some extra problems to boot, and b

I think this is more of frontend vs backend thing. I have a similar experience to you with our ~5kloc React frontend, while dependency upgrades for our 50kloc backend have been mostly painless.

Note: Since this post, they've multithreaded a fair bit of the simulation as well. It runs insanely well, the entire game is a marvel of software engineering in my book.

It's very, very hard to be memory bandwidth bottlenecked if your program is not parallelized, even on consumer hardware. A 5Ghz cpu core with dual-channel DDR5 might get 75 GB/s of memory bandwidth. That's 15 bytes per clock

Melt in what way? Just didn't have enough network bandwidth, or something else?

Genuine question, what is it causes websites to keel over in a mild breeze like that? Surely not raw CPU, memory, or network bandwidth on the machine? Is it just some arbitrary limit imposed on whatever VM they are running?

This technique was new for me, thanks for posting! I will keep it in the back of my head. I'm wondering, how fast is this in practice though, compared to the state of the art of general-purpose allocators? I'm sure it's faste

Apple Silicon isn't more efficient in terms of memory capacity, there's really no way to do that unless you go for some crazy memory architecture that nobody wants to program for. Apple Silicon has a lot more memory bandwidth th
