I have tried multiple times to switch from Cursor to VSCode + command line tools or VSCode plugin for Claude, but it just doesn't work as well as Cursor itself. Especially if you a…

Garbage collector alone can't do what happens in Go language+runtime. Simplest example is that there is no way to allocate fixed arrays with non-pointer structs in Java. That is ju…

People use Go vs Java not because of the language differences but because of massive improvement that GO runtime is compared to JVM. It is crazy that people still don't understand …

Imo, average has to be one of the biggest net negative stats you can collect. It is much better to collect just total throughput stat since that is the only thing that average is u…

Latest models like Opus 5.0 work well in both scenarios. You can just give it a goal and let it make a plan, review the plan and then let it go ham. Or you can also use it piece-me…

Which model are you using? There is monumental difference between models. Even between "frontier models". When people tell these stories, it would be great to also add which model …

I think people have outdated ideas on AI code quality. Latest ones (i.e. ones after Claude Opus 4.8) are a game changer. They now write better code than a lot of engineers. They ar…

have been doing "racing to debug" things with AI for quite some time too. Have to say, before Opus 4.8, there wasn't even a comparison for anything slightly complex. Opus 4.8 has b…

Because 90% of those UIs is written by these new AI models. That is how they are able to churn so much new user facing stuff all the time. The fact that it works at all is proof th…

Trend is pretty clear pretty much across all western countries. Even among ones that have supposedly highest quality public education like Norway, Sweden, Germany, etc... People ar…

I think it depends on what counts as doing nothing. Every time I cut my hair, I sit in a chair for ~30minutes silently without doing anything. My barber knows I don't like small ta…

I am surprised to see that there isn't a lot of information about performance regression testing. Correctness testing is important but the way SQLLite is used, potential performanc…

Most important property of blockchains is verifiable transparency. That is a huge deal and yes, most financial and government systems would be much better for people if they were b…

That is sort of my point. I think "repeatable read" is a fools gold. You think you wont need to do locking, but it is too easy to make incorrect assumptions about what guarantees "…

Here is my issue with this. We are assuming you need to read a "consistent snapshot" in some type of real time application. Because if it isn't real time, you can always have those…

I have been advocating for the longest time that "repeatable read" is just a bad idea. Even if implementations were perfect. Even when it works correctly in the Database, it is sti…

Funny coincidence, this is also a great way to get ChatGPT to produce correct solutions when it produces incorrect stuff on its first try.

If you have never seen a 10x engineer you either have never worked with truly talented people or you haven’t worked on actual hard problems. There aren’t just 10 or 100x engineers …

High availability + uptime is now necessary for any business no matter how small. If you need to run 24/7 available high uptime services you can’t avoid distributed systems one way…

I have been wondering for a while now, how does Forbes still maintain its brand? It has now been at least two decades that it has had close to zero credibility, but somehow in gene…

https://www.theblockcrypto.com/data/decentralized-finance/st... Ethereum was dominating TRON until very recently and this does have to do with huge increases in Gas prices on Ether…

While I am no huge volume arbitrageour/market maker, I actually make a living running arbitrage systems and market making systems specifically for stablecoins. I do consider to kno…

Nah, most of USDT is on TRC20 because gas fees are way cheaper there and most of the exchanges support withdrawing USDT using TRC20. So all arbitrageurs, market makers, etc, transf…

People who have no idea how crypto markets work always get riled up by these tweets. Contrary to popular belief, there is generally huge demand spike for USDT when crypto market ha…

I sometimes wonder how many of the commenters actually read the article itself. All the discussion in comments is about residential properties when in the article it clearly says: …
