I think the big miss is that the former is achievable far more often than people imagine, which leads to settling for the later, aka pessimization. Reducing your allocations from m…

Disapprove and ask for a call where the author must verbally explain the changes to receive approval? This seems like a solvable problem, and one that already existed in repos with…

You can setup most PR systems to squash on merge using the first commit's message, then enforce that the top commit message is prefixed with a ticket ID. This practice has many ben…

IDK, it seems like old reddit did just fine without even trying that hard. The DOM and surrounding JS API is already a high level GUI framework, and the post illustrates that it's …

I've used duckdb a lot at this scale, and I would not expect something like this to take more than a few seconds, if that. The only slow duckdb queries I have encountered either in…

I designed some parts for an enclosure over the weekend using claude opus to generate an OpenSCAD file, which I then exported to STL and sent to a 3D printer. I was able to get a v…

I frequently use a docker-compose template with prometheus pushgateway + grafana for deploying on single node servers, as described at the start of the article. It works well and i…

"Everything" is another that puts the default search to shame. I've also seen people who just have a script that pumps all new files into a txt file every so often and runs brutefo…

I hear this a lot, but can you really say that you're consistently saturating a 1Gbps line for netcode or 6+ Gbps nvme for disk data? In my experience this doesn't really happen wi…

There's currently talk of adding gigawatts of data center capacity to the grid just for use cases where python dominates development. While a lot of that will be compiled into opti…

It shouldn't take any noticable power/cycles to accomplish this task. Having flags for "performance" littered through the codebase and UI is a classic failure mode that leads to a …

As a point of comparison, I just downloaded the Windows binary for duckdb (which provides a nice TUI for similar tasks) and it was 9.84MB. People can and should expect better.

Now instead of seeing millions of lines of inscrutable code in your program bloating binary sizes, you can see it in every program (that doesn't disable stdlib).

All of them? It should feel instant. A UI does not benefit from artificial delays.

I use syncthing. Works flawlessly and took just a few minutes to setup.

Agree. As an example, this proto generates 584 lines of C++, links to 173k lines of dependencies, and generates a 21Kb object file, even before adding grpc: syntax = "proto3"; mess…

If most data between the backend/frontend is raw numeric array binary blobs, and you target array types that can be loaded directly into JS TypedArrays (int32_t* -> Int32Array, flo…

Same, and I've found this works quite well with a C++ backend. Just send over binary data as struct-of-arrays, load it into typed arrays, render components. Your app will be bottle…

Everything listed here is a great pitch for vanillajs with zero framework at all.
