Already done, though not by Emmerich - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombeavers

In a recent interview I was asked to design a job queue and I went with postgres with the first and third optimizations mentioned here. For the scale of the question - 1000 concurr…

I never understood what Atlassian saw worth $ 1 billion in this company (DX). That's even more than what they paid ($700m) for Loom. Loom is at least useful as a screen recorder, a…

We used to get these books in the annual international book fair in Delhi back in my childhood days. I still have 2 of them (Mathematics Can Be Fun and How The Steel Was Tempered),…

My next 100 passwords are sorted.

IIUC this just pulls in various other crates with some vibe-coding on top. I'm not familiar with the Rust dependency system, but what is the need to have copies of the code? Would …

Very poor. Hardly lasts a week with step tracking and heart rate enabled. Like someone else mentioned, go for a Garmin instinct 2 or 3 solar. My 2 Solar lasts more than 30 days on …

Not unlikely given the crash in Atlassian's share price over the last year or so. When I was in NetApp a long time back, such rumours would often do the rounds when the share price…

Amazing. Easily the most learning I've had in 18 minutes (I watched at 1.2x speed) in my life.

I was thinking of using it with Duckdb as well but seems it would be of limited benefit. Parquet objects are in MBs, so they would be streamed directly from S3. With raw parquet ob…

I was thinking the same - if JSONata was a priority for them, why not choose a language with good support, like JS or Java? OTOH if development language was a priority why not choo…

Thanks! I'm using Instant.parse at present and this is supposedly 37x faster. Will definitely give it a try.

I ran into 5 and 7 in a Flink app recently - was parsing a timestamp as a number first and then falling back to iso8601 string, which is what it was. The flamegraph showed 10% for …

> documentation survives when it lives next to the code. 15+ years ago, this was pretty much the standard. Every decision - whether major or just a hack to handle a corner-case - u…

Rovo dev cli is pretty good though. Though that may just be because it talks to claude or openai in the backend.

They have enough enterprise customers to pay the bills for years though.

I loved their dry seasoning [1]. Bought some when I visited the bay area several years back and used to use it on everything from toasts to pasta. Sadly, haven't visited US since t…

Reminds me of what bootstrap [1] was like around a decade ago. It's gotten quite a bit bloated since then though. 1. https://getbootstrap.com/

> A start-up I had been a part of in New York. Where I was the first employee. I had owned equity. They had eventually sold for $350 million. What happened to the author's equity?

Tried the app for Kannada. The "AI explanation" didn't work for any phrase, but the first lesson seemed to be quite useful otherwise.

Not just that, but potentially 17 other guilty caregivers have been cleared of suspicion based on the findings in that paper.

Yes he did. I attended a talk from him on the same, so that's how I know.

Let's not forget Laos and Cambodia, where unexploded munitions dumped by the US decades ago are killing and maiming people even today - https://www.humanium.org/en/unexploded-bombs…
