Linear scales usually don't have an intuitive upper limit that people can understand ("is 10000 bad?"). Citizen-facing scales should optimally go from 0 (no concern) to 10 (either world-shattering event or highest value ever

Yeah, I fully agree. The tooling for putting that much logic into the database is just not great. I've been decently happy with Sqitch[0] for DB change management, but even with that you don't really get a good basis for testing s

Very nice writeup that also mirrors my experience when optimizing function calling. Thanks for putting the post together! I think all the recommendations can also be used 1:1 with ChatGPT custom GPTs, but for those I also have 2 additional

There is still the "Funk" part of programming that targets people under 30. Almost all the content produced under that umbrella is available on YouTube (or Facebook, Instagram, TikTok), based on the realism that that's what&#

Every argument like this that just focuses on the language features and performance completely misses the point. When I hear people expressing that PHP "sucks", that's mostly coupled to the ecosystem, not necessarily the lang

I think the same goes for on-foot navigation. Anecdotally, I find that my friends that just willy-nilly rotate around their Google Maps are the ones that have the worst sense of direction. Of course you are going to get lost after one wrong

The GitHub implementation of git archive does it's best to be deterministic. Some reproducible build systems like e.g. Bazel heavily rely on that. GitHub had a bug early last year[0] that broke that determinism and it caused a huge upr

As far as my understanding goes, there are multiple parts to what you are bringing up. In your simplified example of a 2D plane, yeah, you are right, I think. However that's why we have more than two dimensions. E.g. If we just have a

I don't get why anyone would use this. You are completely replicating the API that Kubernetes exposes, without adding any benefit, so this just adds an unnecessary layer of abstraction (that doesn't abstract anything) that increas

Things become difficult at scale regardless of mono- or multirepo. You also have to build dedicated tooling if you heavily lean into splitting things into a lot of repositories, in order to align and propagate changes throughout them.

Small binaries has nothing to do with the reason for that. Build tools will only include what's needed either way, so e.g. your Hello World program will have parts of std::io and std::fmt, and not really anything beyond that. So you &q

Based on some rough ballpark conservative estimates (one server with 2 A100 at $50000; 50 tokens/s one one of those servers; so 10 of those servers), upfront cost with consumer hardware seems to be 1/10 to 1/20 of what the Gr
