Remember, Nvidia sells services too, not just GPUs. They also sell full racks of servers. This is just sales, not profits.

Amazon is actually pretty good about open sourcing core technologies like that. Firecracker is a big one. They also support Valkey and pay some of its maintainers.

They must have fixed it because I drive my two main monitors from a dock connected to one port and then my 3rd monitor from the other port. Been set up this way for at least two years now.

Yes but if your debate is desktop or laptop, you're probably not looking at anything but a pro.

My M1 Pro drives 4 screens no problem. The trick is that you can only attach two through one Thunderbolt port, so you have to attach the 3rd one via the other port instead of your dock. (The 4th screen is the laptop's built in screen)

There used to be a class at Berkeley that was cross listed between the CS department and the business school. When you were in the class, the CS kids and B-School kids were teamed up, and the B-School kids would write the business plan and

There's a fine line between "we made the world safer" and "we made the world too constricting to learn". I would like my kids to be allowed to fail a bit more often, while still staying safe. I think we've sw

I agree with you. Kids aren't allowed to fail anymore. And as a parent, when I try to let my kid fail, I get scolded for being a bad parent. Broken bones used to be a right of passage for kids. Now it happens far less. While a bro

When I was at Netflix and reddit, one thing I said often was, "Luckily, we are not a bank". And it sounds like you are working on even more critical systems than that. Chaos engineering doesn't really apply to data critical

When I was in college, we had office hours with the prof and the TAs, we had group study sessions, and private tutors. Or you could ask your friends. All of those required going somewhere at a specific place and time and asking someone el

I’ve read plenty of literature. So has the AI training. That won’t help. In fact, it will make it worse. I even studied writing in college. I’ve written published books and articles. I can write well. But thanks for the tip!

Every time this comes up I have to ask, how do you know it is AI? Sure, sometimes there are strong tells, like if they forget to take off the "Do you want me to change anything" at the end. But AI was trained on good writing. Go

by jedberg 2mo ago
But a monorepo wouldn't make any of that easier. You have to make the change to service A and B, and then test both and deploy both. You haven't saved any time or effort in a monorepo. A library needs updating, you still have to

While you are technically correct (the best kind of correct), I would challenge you to find an organization that is doing the monorepo/microservice combo correctly. And what I mean by that is with microservices, the API is the only

by jedberg 2mo ago
Many professional cooks who are building new kitchens are doing it with induction. Induction gives you even more precise control, especially since they can put more sensors on the cook surface since it doesn't get as hot.

I believe that the solution to the coordination problem is good monorepo tooling (like the OP) plus AI to understand the whole codebase and help the engineers understand how their part fits in. I was one of the biggest proponents of microse
