I'll be honest, the performance issue is almost never the language used. You can write Python code that's very fast for almost any usecase (using numpy/pandas/vaex/polars/etc). Similarly for Java. The main thin

Nope, they're orders of magnitude more inefficient because they don't leverage gradient descent. Rule of thumb in optimization: real numbers are easy, integers are hard

Well, the 12 ones after the first one, since they're all one "replace all" away from each other!

I've never properly learned VIM, so I do enjoy the micro command line editor for this sort of stuff.

Why do you prefer it to sublime text in particular? I also like Micro a lot - it uses the command line as a GUI

The analogy here is that the CDO is a financial product that's built from other debts. Specifically, it was a piece of partial ownership on a bunch of mortgages in 2008. The issue here is that when the junk mortgages defaulted, the CDO

Serious question: as an average person, are those hardware security issues (rowhammer, spectre, meltdown) an actual risk? My understanding with spectre and meltdown was that it was an issue for escaping VMs and similar attacks - something A

Malthus was wrong on a ton of things, but his theory of population growth in pre-industrial cities effectively holds to the data (even according to economic historians). Cities were effectively constrained by available food and transportati

And it was such an amazing civil engineering project on top! Built in a lake with aqueducts, land bridges, etc. It must have been truly something to behold even by today's standards.

Right, but the scale is entirely different. The Conquistadors actively tried to memory-hole Aztec/Maya culture post conquest by burning all their written content. If you break the oral tradition by dispersing groups and you burn writte

You can't add nvme that get the nvme level of performance. Especially not at the level we'd be used to in any other serious isecase (eg. Split PCIe lanes into x4 and have a bunch of fast storage)

D does the same thing with its template system and the compilation is still extremely fast.

Shouldn't you try to get something with PCIe bifurcation in this case? I doubt you're saturating the PCIe bus bandwidth on any of them? I imagine your DB is extremely high performance, though!

Agreed, there's a big gap between Ikea and the next step up. And most people can't differentiate between quality (nor should we expect them to!). "Proper" furniture stores you find in malls and outlets are generally high
