For webapp, maybe not very valuable. But for API gateway or any kind of sidecars? Very valuable.

I am glad that Git took off instead of Bazaar or SVN. But I would have been ok if Mercurial won as well.

The keyword you want to look for is: SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) optimization at hardware level. This is how many aggregate functions can run real fast. To take advantage of that, data has to be structured a certain way: In a co

In ML Ops and Infrastructure? Very much so. Actually coming up with a new model? I am not sure, maybe not.

I think D failed because it doesn't take a stand one way or the other. Overwhelming majority of mainstream programmers want important choices to be made for them. - People want language designers to decide: Has GC or no GC. Choose one

Err... https://idx.google.com/ doesn't even work. Not sure what to think of this. Oh, it's idx.dev.

Just about any large tech companies and unicorns have a large queue (or many of them).

With LLM, they will. The AI is finally intelligent enough and knowledgable enough to do something. Not only that, the AI finally gained the ability to memorize context.

I am 75% in individual tech stocks and VTI. The other 25% is in real estate. I think the 25% is a pretty good ratio to hedge against the tech stocks. Also, the high rate is making profitable RE investing very difficult. Almost all of my pee

Pascal is actually good and perfomant. It was the second language I picked up in high school after Basic. I don’t understand why as an industry we had to regress to Python, Ruby, Java, & Javascript in late 90s & early 2000.

Hard agree. AMD keep sleeping at the helm and there are no other competitors.

System design questions are way more relevant to day-to-day work than leetcode questions. Nothing stops the interviewer from asking you even more relevant system designs questions like: * How would you build a Linux kernel from scratch? * H

Wow, the stars aligned and shined on Mark Zuckerberg. What a lucky break. Mark my words, the Meta revival story starts now thanks to Twitter and Reddit killing themselves. I think Meta will realize that it is best to stick with what they ar

My group and a bunch of my peer groups. And we are running them at the scale that most people can’t even imagine.

Big fan of Phil! A lot of us tinkered like him, but very few came back and write the findings nicely in an easy to read form.

There is a benefit to using "go mod vendor". Some corporate environments lock down their CI/CD pipelines. By vendoring everything, the CI/CD does not need to make external HTTP calls.

I think this is relevant... These are 3 OSS databases that can be an alternative to Redis: - KeyDB: https://github.com/snapchat/keydb - Dragonfly: https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly - Skytab

Very good! PostgreSQL should follow suit.

I agree. Local time with timezone is really a presentation-layer concern. For server-side and storage layer, it's saner for everyone to simply store in UTC or epoch seconds/nanoseconds.

Meh, every tool when they are young sucks. HTTP in 1995 was awful. But that didn’t stop the explosion of industries following behind it.

It's ok. Don't worry. I lost $250k during Covid because of similar lack of due diligence. I made most of them back YOLO-ing TQQQ, but like you, I was having cold sweats for several nights. Thankfully, there is so much money in tec

Always PostgreSQL. Unless if MySQL protocol is absolutely needed.

At its height, FAANG companies are dishing out > $500k total compensation to engineers. You would have to be quant analysts themselves to beat that number.

I always wondered why Linux devs didn’t embrace SQLite wholesale for every single tools. Except maybe the kernel because I don’t know anything about the kernel.

I am guessing it would be very hard to do this on a dynamic language.
