I run Opensuse on daily basis for more than 3 years, and no it definitely doesn't require "week-end tinkering". like zero tinkering.

not the OP but: it's fairly obvious that those office workers force themselves, so you can't say "as much as they please", otherwise they d stop 3 liters earlier. So yes, you will be judged. It looks pretty dumb.

they are specifically slow. there was a project which measured FFI cost in different languages, and python is awfully bad

"Rewrite the hot path in C/C++" is also a landmine because how inefficient the boundary crossing is. so you really need "dispatch as much as possible at once" instead of continuously calling the native code

that was definitely THE moment that shook my confidence in IDF's presumed professionalism; pretty unreal

ah I think I understand your confusion. The proto package allows conversion between the binary messages and their json equivalent. So you can still use the proto objects in your code , only to send out json when required

i think even if 3rd party API expects json, you could still map their models to proto ; i haven't encountered this case tho might still be challenging to convince proto to output what you want exactly

"Patrician II/III", anyone ? my favorite game when i was kid, second only to Civilization

by dgan 1y ago
i have to confess , i use Protobuffs for everything. They convert to pure python (a la dataclass), to json strings and to binary strings, so i literally shove it everywhere : network, logic, disk. BUT when doing heavy computation (c++, not

do you need to access your mobile for bank accounts ? does that work ?

by dgan 1y ago
maybe if performance is really an issue, protobufs shouldn't be used ? there is also flatbuffers, capnp and purely C++ serializers: zpp, yas... but protobufs are definitely convenient !

very often I think the paranoid security restrictions at my $job are dumb, but then an article like this appears Remarkable how often the weakest link in a security chain is the human, not the system

i am by no means a C++ expert, but isn't "pragma once" frowned upon?

yesterday I deleted 2500 lines out of a project of 4300 lines lol. I have mixed feelings because now it's so much simpler, but the frustration of having to write these lines in the first place, it's so annoying. that's what h

can you expand on that?

by dgan 1y ago
okey but the burning question now is: how much more fair it becomes when the richer participants give specifically to poorest participants, instead of random one?

Just before you write your comment, consider that the author very specifically says "LLM are not useless".

Okey so Mistral is definitely better at reading PDFs and extracting usefull information

i gave up on python dataclasses & json. Using protobufs object within the application itself. I also have a "...Mixin" class for almost every wire model, with extra methods Automatic, statically typed deserialization is worth
