Have to point out that this includes second system optimizations. Just porting C over to Zig won't give you that 3x reduction. For others, I also highly recommend the video linked in that blog post.

I remember reading on this site, not that long ago about large US companies regularly block traffic from outside US where they don't ship to or expect purchases. Home Depot was specifically called out.

Unless not lying / over sharing is bad for your shareholders. Lawyers could argue that publicizing non-material bad news about your service health makes your stock price drop.

+1 to this. I'm just as wary to recommend using a DB as a queue as the next person, but it is a very common pattern at my company. DB queues allow easy prioritization, blocking, canceling, and other dynamic queued job controls that ba

Yes and no. That same inertia of the larger companies allows them to stay in business even after large missteps. Remember Lenovo built-in Superfish [0]? Amazon/Apple/Google are entrenched enough that can take risks, apologize,

I would think stacking 10 generic conditions wouldn't scale if you are trying to mix and match arbitrarily. If you are trying to mix NonEmpty and AllEven and AllGreaterThan100 for the List example, then you would get the combinatorial

I'll give a plug for 'Cosmic Python'[0], it goes into detail of structuring larger python applications using hexagonal-ish architecture. I wouldn't recommend this approach for smaller services. [0] https://ww

Maybe this is from my epoch of education, but with early Java null checking everything was promoted as a good practice. Even today, depending on what your teacher said was correct, your coding experiences (e.g. if you came from C++, if you

A major contributor can be memory access patterns. Traversing trees and pointers not adjacent in memory can result in a noticeable performance drag. Andrew Kelley gave an interesting talk about performance wins in the Zig compiler here h

I wouldn't say that the actor model is going away. There are several new-ish projects built around it or retrofitting it in more common languages. - Elixir (and Erlang) https://elixir-lang.org/ - Akka - JVM and .NET f

I struggle with this also, I assume the answer is to not have them in the same package. You can also break the application into separate 'domain', 'infra', 'application' modules as documented in [0] with rules

As the total number of ways to accomplish a task increases it puts more burden on a programmer to recognize the usage and understand the semantic differences between the options. How many ways are there to iterate over a collection in say

Do you have a link to any example repos by chance? The need has slowly been growing for some cli tools I want to write, but I haven't taken the plunge yet. I'm the most curious about peeking at your maven setup.
