It's cool, but does seem quite slow. I'm diffing two 45kB CSVs on a fast computer and after 10 minutes I'm still at: Diffing: 0% ... 0/93195 [00:00<?, ?it/s] Tightening Fringe Diagonal 48 of 792: ...

The most frustrating thing is that pip doesn't make it easy to use more loose declared dependencies while freezing to actual concrete dependencies for deployment. Everybody rolls their own. > Python libraries should not pin dependen

It's maddening to hear people say things like, "Oh if everyone just used semantic versioning this wouldn't be a problem". Of course this cannot work. _Think about it_. There are innumerable ways two pieces of code can b

I mean, 90% of my application is simple things. I mostly use the Django ORM and even more complicated joins, grouping and subqueries are predictable. I'm curious what ORM people are using that obscures the queries that are being emitte

Love it, thank you — the article already had my upvote! In particular SLC cache-aware tests and the inclusion of latency information (both average and 99th percentile) were both heartening to see. Too much crappy storage benchmarking these

Good benchmark suite, but missing two big PCIe 4 SSD contenders: the WD Black SN850 and the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus!

Of course, and I agree that marketing traction matters. I should have said this is an idle hope that some of these fancier metrics get published/leaked about TSMC/Samsung/Intel processes rather than that they become the met

A nice approach I'm hoping will gain traction when discussing density across different types of logic is the "LMC" metric, as put forward by some TSMC and Stanford folks: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp&#x2F

I would highly recommend Emery Berger's talks [1] for anyone interested in benchmarking software. The alignment and code layout in memory that huayra mentions has shockingly large performance implications. [1] https://www.yo

I've spent a lot of time in higher-order component and render prop hell — so many layers of indirection. The declarative behavior that HOCs and render props enable is one of the best parts of React, used in libraries like react-motion.

Protip for people that spend a lot of time on Github: press the letter "t" when browsing a project to fuzzy find on filenames like fzf in Github.

I think your self diagnosis is on point. Where games fit into your life is hard to address within a world of background judgemental thinking and self-criticism. It might be easier to focus on cultivating more self-compassion first, then ree

Highly recommend this book as well. The psychology he discusses I've found very relevant to life in general. Often I've wished something in my life was better and found self-imposed handicaps or my true goals differing from my sta

No. The server can inspect its GraphQL schema (what the frontend will be querying against) and emit Typescript types to type check against. If someone changes a field name on the backend, type checking the frontend will fail in all the plac

But the entities, names, dates, and photo URLs in my database are exactly what I want to show on the frontend, by and large. Maybe a join, aggregation, or something in there.

It was very model specific. 5950Xs and 5900Xs were gone within a few seconds, 5800Xs were up for a few minutes, and 5600Xs were available for almost an hour in some cases. This aligns with reports of retailer inventory, where availability o

Eh... enjoyable is subjective. At subrecreational, subanesthetic doses, it can make you feel really fucking weird. It's not bad, and it's certainly survivable given that you're dissociated from it — but it makes me feel reall

Cool — one of the major blockers on moving to Linux for me was fractional scaling support. I have 4K monitors but can't use them with tiny text. I like PopOS a lot, but they didn't have fractional scaling support. It looks like th

If you're an analyst, I second the recommendation for dbt. Here's a podcast interview with the CEO of the company behind dbt that explains a lot of the philosophy, and I think will help you even if you don't end up using dbt:

Check out https://github.com/metabase/metabase . I'm not clear on their open source vs paid model, but I'm pretty sure you can host it yourself and their core is open source.

There's a library: https://sumtypes.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ It's serviceable, and even does static checking of total coverage of cases. I will say that it makes linters freak out.

The representational debt the parent comment is referring to is akin to that quip, "if I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter." I find that both types of representational debt are common.

The one recommended in the article via Amazon is the model U518CV-UM while that one at Walmart is the model U515CV-U. No idea what the difference is.
