You're probably thinking of https://codecrafters.io/ . I've been meaning to check them out with my education stipend from work, just haven't had the time to devote to it.

So expensive IMO, only reason I'm avoiding it.

Same reason here, if i convert that value to my current currency it will be half of the living wage in my country

Is anyone aware of an in-depth explanation about how key-value store persistence, such as Redis RDB, is built? A guide on compaction would be really interesting and useful.

I believe this book is such an explanation. At least for the key-value store persistence bit

i love this! is there a book like this to learn rust with? it would be amazing to have a working system at the end. (not looking for a beginner, but say, intermediate level book).

I've created a repository for all tutorials that I found in rust [1] I guess that's what you're looking for [1] - https://github.com/osynavets/build-your-own-x-in-rust

Thanks for all your work finding these. Great job!

Purchased this via Gumroad, but the epub version seems to not be formatted correctly. After about page 3 it decides the book is finished on my Kobo. Hopefully the author will get a fix out, I'm pretty excited to read it and pdfs are pretty hard to read on my device.

Sorry to hear that. I don't have a Kobo so I can not troubleshoot this. Would a small-sized PDF be readable on your device?

There's* a free plan allowing a stage daily. With current content (all languages, all stages) someone can do everything in *Saw in sibling comment this is recent addition. Without it, yeah, it may be a bit expensive for one person.

Why would it be factually incorrect? You tell it to proof-read, not add stuff. It works great.

ChatGPT does not know how to proof read. It is not an artificial inteligence. It will take your input and determine the most likely response matching the data it was trained with. Just like how ChatGPT fails at simple math - ChatGPT doesn't know math https://ai.stackexchange.com/questions/38220/why-is-chatgpt-...

I’ve learned over the last few months that there are certain trigger words that instigate basically pointless discussion around e.g. “what it means to learn”.

I can now add “read” to that list. Let’s play word taboo! The rules are we can’t talk about GPT using anthropomorphic terminology.

Does GPT predict less than useful mathematical computations? Yes, and not just less than useful but basically useless.

Does GPT predict less than useful language translations, ranging from English-French, to summaries, in-the-style-of, etc? No, it’s actually quite useful as when confined to only the information contained in a prompt it doesn’t have to hallucinate an answer.

It is not useful to anthropomorphize the functionality of these tools in either a practical or legal context.

And everyone pick up a copy of Philosophical Investigations by Wittgenstein so y’all can learn about how to avoid snake-eating-tail discourse.

k2pdfopt actually has an option for my model, cropping some of the excess margins helps a lot, but I will say epubcheck found some invalid markup in there, so it could be related to that.
