>- 2 is not the best growth factor because it makes it harder for the memory allocator to reuse memory. More modern implementations use smaller growth factors: https://en.wikipedia…

Survival analysis is often also called time-to-event analysis or failure analysis in engineering. In a general sense, it's used to model time until a "death" event, whether that co…

Thanks, explains a lot. Wish the article did a better job explaining that instead of framing it as a version upgrade to V2.

>Diving into the actual contents of one of those PASSIVE_UPDATE_V1 dispatches, we would send all of the channels, members, or members in voice, even if only a single element change…

I see, I didn't know that. Why would one sell permanent ownership of a networked product? I've been seeing the rise of "lifetime" subscription levels (pay once) for SaaS products, …

Remember: it's local-first, not offline. When users subscribe they should be purchasing a license that renews periodically. Local-first apps should validate the license (based on i…

A bit of an aside, but CRDTs are not always the best approach to solving the local-first distributed consistency problem. For the specific given example of syncing files it might m…

Adderall? I'm only half-joking :)

This looks super promising... I very much relate to the dropdown example, and I've found that complicated UX patterns can be extremely awkward to implement and maintain in LV. One …

While still a marvel in its own right, I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed when I visited. After witnessing the architecture of both ancient and (relatively) modern Eastern/South…

I often synthesize this as: to write, is to think. It derives from David McCullough's quote, "Writing is thinking. To write well is to think clearly. That's why it's so hard." In o…

If you do find the time, I'm sure that writeup would be very valuable!

As I know nothing about TableGen, can someone explain when you would reach for this tool? Perhaps even links to simple examples?

It may seem trivial, but I assure you it's valid criticism. FWIW, I've stopped using the Books app on my Ipad in favor of emailing my ebooks to my Kindle account and reading it thr…

>You should probably not use inline assembly in production code What are the alternatives here? Write the assembly in a separate file and provide a FFI?

Regarding #1, I've found that Phoenix + LiveView has been helpful for these cases. They have great form validation tools using Changesets and the `phx-change` attribute [1]. You ca…

I think it's a not-so-rude awakening to follow individuals rather than organizations. For example, Matt Levine could be the one you trust for finance, or Jason Schreier for news on…

Once you find the things that anchor you physically, it makes it much easier to sail where you want to sail and stay when you want to stay. No matter what passes around me or what …

What tool do you use or recommend when drafting technical blog posts or books? I've found that editors tend to do one thing or the other very well: they're either really good edito…

Most people I talk to don't know AWS has a managed blockchain product, quantum computing service, or an analytics suite for financial analysts and traders. They seem to have their …

I had no idea that she still holds such a distinction, thanks for pointing that out! I'm always in awe of their accomplishments.

There's a working theory that you could do this with anything. A cool story to read is the Polgar family. His daughters became some of the best chess players of their time. >Polgár…

I didn't really realize what the quote was talking about until you mentioned mario party. That brought back memories. Looking at the sibling comments, it's kind of cool how a lot o…

Thanks for the thorough explanation!
