That, and the tooling sucks. The good tools are expensive, both Sumologic and Wavefront are amazing, but past a certain scale it's hard to justify the cost. On the open source side Grafana and its stack (tempo, loki and prometheus) all

Heck! I just realized I've been following some of your posts over the years without intending to. Specially about ECS and networking. It's nice to see it so advanced. Congrats!

The only good argument for going back in my mind is that mentoring junior employees is much, much easier and effective in person. And that dynamics require a senior and a junior employee in the same room every once in a while, so the senior

I don't use twitter that much, I can't really figure out what's it for. I have the account, but check it maybe once a month.

You can tweak it with plugins or extensions, you're a hacker, aren't you? Also, the dark mode is extremely hard to read for some people (specially older people). It causes you pupil to dilate (less light on the eyes) and shifts th

"Making friends on Twitter is much easier than making friends offline." I find the opposite is true for me. I don't quite get how to connect on Twitter, but I have no problem making friends offline.

This could be bad or great depending on the use case. - Bad: bottlenecked access to the CPU and its memory - Good: Bypass the CPU on device to device transfer, in the style of NVidia's GPUDirect ( https://developer.nvidia.com

Unless you want to do device to device transfers, in which case you can move it inside the switch. You could for example transfer texture data from an SSD straight to GPU memory, a la [NVidia's GPUDirect]( https://developer.n

I'm messy, I like being messy. I cannot follow any of those organizational, rigidly structured methods. They make me anxious, I much rather live in my mess and let it automatically prioritize stuff for me. Things I don't know wher

That's not a trial, that's a joke. You have to give it to literally everyone (or a large chunk of the population, let's say 80%) and wait a couple months to really see the effects on inflation and other metrics. Just a handfu

Decoupled scales, but you end up replicating the dataset in compute node caches, which is expensive. Ideally you want scalable storage with compute (assuming really large datasets), so you can move the computation, which usually is small,

There's no erasure or loss of information in the ledger, as in with cash transactions. It's just obfuscation, so yeah, it can be a treasure trove of forensic information.

Quite interesting. I ran a single threaded micro benchmark (mostly memory bound) and it's roughly 5x slower than OpenJDK on the same hardware. Not bad at all.

Stack up on books and tinker-able hardware (if that's you poison). Take time to study the basics of computer science. Tech changes a lot, but the basics of math and CS don't. Linear Algebra shows up a lot in graphics and machine l

I always wanted to have a tag in the object header that signals the GC to "just don't touch this object", so I could manually allocate off-heap objects and arrays (specially arrays). ByteBuffers are low overhead, but native a

Land ownership makes total sense, the article is like an apology of utopian socialism. The main issue with those approaches (socialist variants, communism) vs something like capitalism is that they are not robust. Capitalism assumes ill-int

This smells funny to me... too much dogma. Sometimes the best and clearer way to do something is the "wrong" way. Testing adds some cost, so there's a tradeoff. You want a decent ROI on your testing efforts, otherwise you&#x2

First of all, firmware bugs can physically damage some hardware, some might even be dangerous to use (e.g. overheat and catch on fire). It just increases support costs and liability for the manufacturer for little or no gain. On the securit

I agree, since version 9-ish PostgreSQL is likely a better default choice of database than any other competitor (commercial or otherwise), unless you have some weird workload.

If you need to ask, probably yes. PostgreSQL is a great database, it's hard to go wrong with it. I mean, unless there's something you know for sure that PostgreSQL won't do for you, it's a great default choice (even over

Databases are worth the time to understand deeply. Postgres in particular is a magnificent beast.
