Do you think most websites are hitting 100ms? You are picking silly numbers. The real world case is more like 500ms vs 2.5s. The pingdom numbers suggest that is more like 5%. It's very common for pages to take over 5s to load. That

If it was William Gibson everyone would be wearing black jeans, hardly ever use a computer, going on adventures all around the city and talking to members of the opposite sex. For sure that's not where we are.

I can't tell if you are saying the market doesn't care if your software is slow, or quoting someone else. Either way it's objectively false and that has been known for decades. Making users wait is a surefire way to make the

Why is it so slow? Like clicking around this is a very simple site, it seems like the fade in and fade out, besides being jarring and annoying, is just adding load time.

Oh a lot of onshore developers are going to be gone too. I think I've worked with close to 200 software engineers close enough to get a good understanding of their abilities in my 20+ years in the industry. I think the current version

This is actually a complete and fully effective solution with no drawbacks, why did you dummies downvote it?

The "good" news is you won't have to deal with this much longer. Claude, which this person basically admitted through their behavior, will replace 99% of the offshore devs in the next couple years. Then you won't have

Runtime strings? No static checking? I think you have used mysql and think that mysql is somehow what you should expect, because you are just saying wildly incorrect things. (You don't know what you're talking about)

by ltbarcly3 2mo ago
You say 'generally correct', but then to make it correct you have to make a bunch of specific constraints. That's not general. I'm comparing the FFI using library in python to the json library in python, and json is fa

Who is this commercial addressed to? It's so 90's and so hard to watch. It's directly emasculating the people who might have bought this piece of crap.

Ok but that's the point. You are just explaining why the 'protobuf is faster' claim is generally false.
47.
by ltbarcly3 2mo ago
"you don't really need testing" Protobuf only allows you to add optional fields after the initial version, right? Because otherwise it would not be backwards compatible. Protobuf does not allow you to define contingent logi

No, protobuf is not faster, not on Python, because google's implementation is poor. Python is the #1 language in the world right now. Don't use protobuf.

Wait are we supposed to be mad because clankers are displacing human creative workers, or mad because clankers don't do their level best when producing creative works because they are forced to watermark text? Or is it that they use a

I think the overhead is protobuf itself but I can't check.

The goal is not to have a single source of truth schema. That is a means to some other goal, and it's not even a good means. If you never change the schema then you don't have to worry about it, get things working and never look

Watch as I don't use protobuf because it is horrible. .... Tada! If you patch clients to google services in Python to use json instead of grpc they get faster and more reliable . A lot faster. Benchmark it! def get_json_clie

Opus 5 is objectively better than 4.6 or 4.7. (Not because I say so) My experience has been that it is far better than any previous version of Opus. I get a lot more done and it is able to write higher quality code and it has far fewer f

No, this is a stupid strawman. Productivity is per-capita. Generally estimated via GDP per-capita. At year 0 we have 500 people who want $2000 a month homes. In year 10 we have 750 people who want $2000 a month homes. Without changing th

I can't find a clear argument from data to dispute what your point, which is good and very plausible, but I also can't find one to substantiate it. What I can say is that most likely homeless women are subject at higher rates to

This is not substantiated by data or even a plausible theory. The kinds of mental disorders that lead to homelessness are not something you can "catch" from your environment.
