Would you mind sharing what AI note taking app do you use?

Based on this article, it now uses Hypervisor.framework: https://www.quora.com/What-hypervisor-does-Docker-use > In Linux, Docker uses kernel features. It does not use any hypervis…

Interesting - would you mind sharing a link?

Cool, thanks for sharing. It's these kind of experiences that I was hoping to gather from making this post. Did you notice at the end that you did NOT end up choosing ARM? You ende…

Thanks, I didn't know about c6g, m6g, r6g. I've updated the post to remove this mention - I only counted a1 instances. That still leaves storage optimized and GPU optimized instanc…

Awesome, thanks for testing this out! A 3x slowdown is not as bad as 6x, but it's still quite a bit. I also saw a slowdown of ~4x when I tried this experiment on a native Linux x86…

I ran this on a Linux laptop - it looks like it's running qemu-user-static: root 9934 103 0.0 125444 6664 pts/0 Rl+ 12:25 0:12 /usr/bin/qemu-aarch64-static /usr/bin/gzip So it migh…

Author here. > 1. If emulating aarch64 (arm64) on x86_64 is 6x slower (on your system, btw, it's not an universal constant), it doesn't mean emulating x86_64 on aarch64 will be 6x …

Author here. I'm glad somebody said something! Yes the gzip perf test is pretty silly, but illustrates a significant difference. /dev/urandom throughput on this setup was about 100…

Author here. That's a major point of the article - "are we screwed?" I'm not an expert on virtualization but I wanted to see some discussion on this topic, because it feels like we…

The speaker mentions that Redis, MongoDB and background jobs were replaced by Erlang. What does he mean by that exactly? Erlang provides some persistent state storage? Or is he jus…

> I would rephrase as companies whose express intent is to manipulate people's habits for their own gain. Entertainment is fine as long as it's done in relative good-faith (not gam…

It sounds like you're skeptical about companies that affect people's habits. So avoid these terms: - finance - advertising - entertainment I'd focus on companies that sell to other…

This is a nice article, with a comprehensive if long history of npm and node. I agree with the author that there will one day be a reckoning with npm, inc - they'll shut down abrup…

In a lot of organizations there are "bug teams", whose job is to detect bugs, fix some, and make fixing them easier. However, you probably don't call them "the bug team". Examples:…

I think the right approach here is to figure out how to use git in the company IDE. Then, have a presentation / workshop about how to use git in the IDE. Personally I prefer the co…

As a former Cisco employee, I can tell you why companies never want to open source their security-sensitive products: Pros of open sourcing a product: - fewer total number of vulne…

The article makes it sound like you have to choose between two options: 1. users see example.com in the address bar 2. hosting on www.example.com However you can get the best of bo…

I have written exactly that kind of changelog. Let me explain why. I write the changelog for a product. In fact I write two changelogs - one for engineers and one for customers. En…

> Alowing Trim passthrough on SSDs without impacting vulnerability. Unfortunately I don’t think that’s possible. If I scan your encrypted disk and see that 10% of blocks are zeroed…

I have a similar setup to GP: Emacs + one file + an "new-day" command. Everything goes in one big "scratch.txt" file, with headers like: ###### Saturday, May 20 2017 ...at the star…

Also not GP, but I also have notes per-day. If you organize by topic, you have to decide which topic to put information in. This means you have to pause and think for 10 seconds ab…

Great, thanks for the reply and links. Sounds to me like the current state is "doable," but not "solid." I can convince myself to try it out, but not my whole company. But, maybe t…

I am a systems programmer working at a company with a largely C++ codebase. We don't use Rust. It has nothing to do with the reasons mentioned in the article or this thread. Here a…
