The Zig's language is really good, but the standard library is really a big work in progress, constantly shifting, missing a lot of bits, overly abstracted at some places and too low level at other places. I would say just stay away fr

This drives me nuts as well, the number of times I close a tab with C-W, or select all with C-A... My brain can "switch mode" when on a regular web page, but if I open some kind of "terminal in a page" (i.e. I the AWS co

You don't mention say what you like specifically about Debian, most of what you wrote could be said for a lot of distributions. So here is what I _don't_ like about Debian :-) - I don't like Debian package tooling (dpkg, debo

There are a lot of these tools to somehow "fix the reproducibility crisis of notebooks". Yet from my experience, you quickly learn to "restart kernel and run all" before sharing to make sure everything is good. All but t

I tend to do the same, some colleagues as well, so I guess this is some common pattern. The way I see it there are two schools: - The whitelist school: You write everything without _ prefix, then you whitelist what you want accessible with

Right, but the alternative of having 1 protocol per connector sounds awful as well, wouldn't you agree ?

I don't get it. I thought earthquake alerts were meant to trigger _before_ the earthquake arrives. If it happens 30 secondes after detecting vibrations, not considering the false positive, it can only mean "hey, you just felt, or

So you have to do: io.async(saveFile, .{io, data, "saveA.txt"}).await(io); That is 3 references to `io` in a single call. Considering there is very little use case for mix and matching different Ios, any chance of having

My experience, from 20 years as well, aligns with widespread abuses. Pretty much the whole financial sector is sponsored by the CIR, none of which contribute anything beyond the bullshit reports mentioned above. I myself wrote countless rep

There is something similar in France, the Crédit Impôts Recherche (CIR), I remember it was around 50%. I've heard it's going to disappear though, there were abuses.

If you really want low latency, then you should be OK to trade power/CPU for it, and you can just spin instead of being woken up.

Okay I found the trick, buried in the benchmark setup of s5cmd. The claimed numbers are _not_ reached with S3, but rather from a custom server emulating the S3 API, hosted on the client machine. I think this is very misleading, since these

I just spawned a r6a.16xlarge with a 25gbps NIC, created a 10GB file which I uploaded to an S3 bucket in the same region, through a local S3 VPC endpoint. Downloading that 10GB file to /dev/shm with s5cmd took 24s, all while spawn

Well it can be abused of course, but capthas are used abusively as well, so I would say it's fair game. Lots of use cases for scraping are not DoS or information stealing, but mere automation. Proof of work should be used in these cas

From my experience, Zig is the worst at error handling. Not that the language itself make it hard, on the contrary, but the standard library itself is littered with opinionated error handling that straight up panic with no recovery at every
