Well everything is expensive at scale, and any deserialization/serialization step is going to be expensive if you do it enough. However yes i would be surprised. JSON parsing is pretty optimized now, i suspect most "json parsing

I mean, my first question would be how good the test suite on this project is.

by bawolff 7mo ago
They got a 1000x speed up just by switching languages. I highly doubt the issue was serialization latency, unless they were doing something stupid like reserializing the same payload over and over again.

I'm just kind of confused what took them so long. So it was costing 300k a year, plus causing deployment headaches, etc. But its a realitively simple tool from the looks of it. It seems like their are many competitors, some already wri

That sounds like a really cool project and a really interesting way to preserve family history. I feel like i don't know how to emotionally react to the AI part of this story. To begin with, it is fundamentally cool we have technology

So is the allegation that this private intelligence firm tried to induce members of the government party to offer a bribe. They then published the recorded conversations. I guess what is missing from the article is was the videos misleading

While possible they could scapegoat this, hasn't the rallying cry for Iranian protests prior to this been "Neither Gaza nor Lebanon, my life for Iran" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neither_Gaza_nor_Leban

Y'all mostly couldn't even be bothered to show up to vote. A population that is too lazy to vote (in a system where your vote does matter) is definitely too lazy to have a revolution.

Its more or less the same as using expired in person documents. Instrinsically no, but at the same time its generally easier to source an expired identity document. If its long expired the verification standards might be different. People d

Well if we are going to use this analogy, 20 years ago virus scanners also flagged malicious stuff from p2p as a virus, and people still thought putting malicious content on p2p was a shitty thing for someone to do (even if it was somewhat

It seems really unlikely to me that 2 weeks worth of high oil prices is anything more than a rounding error in BYD's years (decade?) long bet on electric cars. Even if they tripled their sales for the last two weeks, it wouldn't b

I'm a little confussd... was there a point they were allowed? I went to school in the late 2000s, and even at that point if a teacher saw you with a cell phone it was immediately confiscated.

So at what point does us bond ratings go down and cost of borrowing becomes problematic? I know us is buyoed by the petrodollar, but surely that only goes so far.

That kind of feels a bit worst of both worlds. None of the space savings/efficiency of binary but also no human readability. Being able to copy/paste a serialization format is not really a feature i think i would care about.
