Cheers; I've always difficulty mapping those pprof graphs to actual concrete code and I never managed to get anything more useful out of it. This is the biggest take-away from this…

How did you generate the timings on: https://benhoyt.com/images/go-1brc-profile-r9-source.png ?

> got burnout and disgust at the modern tech hiring practice. In my experience it's even worse outside of tech. Because I really need a job I've just been applying to everything. M…

A good Belter never wastes anything.

I find myself wondering if my email is broken. Which is to say I get very little reply. Compare this to a year ago when I got a reply to almost every application I sent out. I'm ki…

The conflation between "not a morning person" and "lazy" is completely ridiculous, and seems to prevail mostly in countries with a "protestant work ethic" background. I've literall…

On punchcards having it as the highest character (with all holes punched) is the only way you can reliably do "delete" or "ignore" outside of having a special dedicated hole for it…

You can still use multiple windows, but it hasn't been the default for a long time.

Murdering one person is murder; murdering a substantial number of people in a region is genocide. Scale can definitely change the fundamental nature of something.

That depends on the settings used for less; AFAIK the default for many distros is to display control characters.

The downside of that is that piping to less won't display colours any more either, so then you need "progname -color=always" or some such. Some programs solve that with a built-in …

There is no "50 years of technical debt". If anything, a significant amount of complexity has been removed compared to the 70s and 80s when everyone and their mother was making wil…

That's kind of what aliases are for.

It's useful if you want to write interactive applications from scratch ("curses-like"). Beyond that ... probably not so much.

You don't need to "step through 40 years of organic development" unless you want super-fancy things like an interactive TUI with mouse support or whatnot (and even then, it's not t…

No doubt; same in Netherlands (more pigs than people in the country). But there's been improvement over the last 20 years on the animal welfare front, at least in the Netherlands a…

If someone gave me a big bag of money then working on a better dating site would probably be what I'd do with it. I think it's very hard pull off as a "personal project" though, be…

You can just replace "men" with "people" and it still works.

Seems like some way to be better aware of "service days" would be the solution (e.g. reminders or the like)? The second seems like a more difficult problem to solve on your own; it…
