i spent like 10y studying German in school, and was pretty good at it. Then life happened, and we moved to France. I could speak good enough French after 1 year, and speak/understand basically everything after 2 years. German was PITA,

about a year ago, at my job, i wrote a spec for authentication in TLA+, and while writing it, i discovered a bug/attack vector, which would allow an attacker to basically bypass the double-authentication. It surely did produce a fancy,

indeed i bought it in my late twenties, to pass time. After a couple of chapters I already found it repetitive and i stopped reading somewhere in the middle :/

wow always wanted to know an objective measure of my Russian accent in French. I ve been living here for a long, long time and some people tell me it's impossible to recognise where i come from. i d like to put that to test

it doesn't even has to be "un traditional face feature". Hpw are they going to differentiate 18yo from 17y11mo? The latter is not legally adult

because that d be a several hundreds megabytes json :) Anyway with suggestion in another comment, i moved the root directory into an antivirus-excluded location, which gave me almost a 10 times performance win

by dgan 2y ago
you were right. it didn't occur to me that antivirus would scan everything I open. Moved all files into an excluded directory, reading files is now almost 10 times faster. Thanks kind stranger !

they don't but that defeats the purpose. i want to be able to inspect the insides, so binary formats are out, i have to easily open & read the content

what makes me jealous,is not the double performance ,but the fact that he can handle 13000 files in 2 seconds. i am at my ${corporate} job now, and have about 40'000 json files stored locally on the windows laptop. when I need to load

I am using my HP Omen from 2016, which is still my main laptop. I gotit for 600 I think? I also upgraded Ram and SSD. The hinges on the lid broke the plastic case, and i am not replacing the dead battery, but it definitely works

Interesting, thanks, I have been using opam, but since I am lal alone and by myself, I never hit the cases you mentioned

Why opam is bad? Compared to what? Could you elaborate

I have found that setting to myself a limited, 30 or 40min window, where i am not allowing myself to do anything else but the task I have to do, is actually a sensible way to trick the brain to work on things. Then i swith context. Like cod

I was thinking about this exact problem, one year ago, and even started to sketch out what a better "meta-sql" would look like. However, i did lose myself in the weeds. Notably : - the metasql has to be embedded in the host langua

Well. Query builders are composable. You can create a builder with partial query, and reuse in many queries. With sql strings, you either have to copy paste the string, or to define sql functions. It's a trade off!

Okey but to me, copying - pasting working code (even with sone extra unused bits) really looks no more different than inheriting a library - provided base class, and then extending it to one's needs. That's literally the basis of

It does, but barely, and it's not like I am planning "okey I am gonna watch movie in 2 hours, let's plug that thing right now". It's either I was using it, so it's not full 100%, or I wasn't, and it'

I bought mine in September. Overall, a big disappointment, the battery is less than mediocre (under linux). Unfortunately I missed the refund window. I bought it after using a mac m1, so i was somehow under impression that i am buying a lap

When i arrived in France, i couldn't help but notice that people celebrate New Year ar 25 December instead of 1st January. eventually, after learning the language, I understood that it is actually another thing altogether!

Okey i was going to complain about what's the point of doing it in C, when it could be done more safely in Haskell/OCaml But 2000 lines of C, and no dependencies is pretty cool!
