>> Currency interventions never work Where did you learn that? It doesn't reflect the structural volumes present. Central banks make interventions all the time in line with little …

I think the mental model is the right thing to focus on. I'm not denying there are cases where async at the edge of an app can make sense but there's no free lunch and i that doesn…

I'm not sure i see it as a hack, but i do feel unduly burdened as a developer by async in python. I feel like there's a lot that i have to think about and i'd appreciate more help …

There are so many footguns[1] in async python but it really has stolen the zeitgeist of modern python web. Synchronous django has a lot to commend it. If you deploy it reasonably w…

>> you'll begin to naturally decompose every for loop into these five steps Does zig have auto vectorisation? I'm thinking that if you write the code in a vector friendly way, then…

The thing that never fails to impress me is when an old timer ham copies a signal that's basically right on the noise floor when all i can hear is static. There was an old chap at …

> Core 4 (and similar) rub me the wrong way – measuring individual developers as the atomic unit IMO is always meaningless And From: https://getdx.com/research/measuring-developer-…

I'm trying to disentangle this from the established / proven / trusted "dx core 4" (ask your local devops person if you don't recognise the name). I found "initiatives" was added. …

Not a good example i'd say given Python's position as pretty much the ultimate glue language :) You'd more likely keep the python shell (and faster developer iteration speed) and p…

Sounds like a certainty stated like that. So not like toilet paper during covid? what if the market was hard to enter? What if the inputs aren't available? What if the costs of the…

That's just engine and gearbox i believe, not really a BMW. Could be an Alpina

The thing that's missing here that really drastically changes the story is all the emissions control hardware that would exist on such an engine. This is a circa 1990s engine in th…

>> Each PG connection being a whole process does not scale like MSSQL that uses a thread per connection There's no free lunch id think, the PG model is more robust. Unsafe extensio…

Love these write-ups, i have various 433mhz things around the home that i’ve integrated with home assistant. Probably the most useful is still a bbq thermometer with multiple probe…

>> it will be consumers demanding But how do I get to express that demand? Asking as a frustrated regular user of excel - excel is amazing software but if your laptop is not in air…

> My current status is that I have not had much success with this way of working for code I deeply care about If something is judgement heavy, "code i care deeply about", then i do…

The bottleneck when using a "faster keyboard" is understanding. We have a tool for this in compsci. Not having to fully understand something in order to successfully exploit it is …

insta-subscribe, very well written. >> And the economy looks at you taking the shift and concludes, smugly, that the shift must have been the most valuable thing you could possibly…

The whole code base is a breath of fresh air to be honest: https://github.com/royalbhati/sqltoerdiagram/blob/main/src/m... Author is top notch in my book. I'm a sucker for someone …

I wondered if there might be a no brainer "free" option on discarded hardware. I have a GTX1080ti which i think is circa 2018, it's unused, more than paid for itself over the years…

Those bounding box demos are decent. By quirk of fate i've spent the past 2 days prototyping some stuff on pdfjs. Just trying to figure out a game plan for handling bounding boxes …

It's a shame because this is the best visual fidelity i think of all the devices. I managed several days back to back, it's very like 1440p on a 27" and millions of people use that…

Zoom itself works absolutely fine, it's just the ipad app you get on vision pro. My complaint is what happens when you turn your camera on - meeting participants see an uncanny val…

>> Consumer power supplies probably don't At least here in the EU they do and i think it's the case in most countries world wide? Looks like that 2014 case might have been a sub-st…

I bought the refreshed M5 version with the new headstrap. I read so many complaints about weight and it was just never an issue for me personally. Maybe the new strap is that much …
