Though wouldn't surprise. However, if it would be the case, I would probably attribute it the fact that GDP is a low quality metric (though potentially the best we have?) As in: If a rich woman marries her housekeeper and he does the p

The UK is not a city in Europe. Europe in this sense seems to refer to the union, not the continent.

Who pays for the infrastructure? I can drive 10 times faster with good roads because a public sector maintain and build road infrastructure. If that enables me to earn 100 times more am I then entitles to the entire profits? Or should I pay

Neutral colours – maybe we are being exposed to so many opinions and conflict through mass media, that we prefer to surround us with neutrality?

I think the main argument is that the insurance companies, in particular in the US, wants a certain percentage discount with the health care providers. The easiest way to provide substantial discount to an insurance company is by increasing

These are very good suggestion to make it go faster. However, it is also a distraction. My raison d'etre is not to make our infrastructure run fast on Apple's hardware, but to build our core product – again an argument to supp

To be precise: An Elixir test suite written using ExUnit, heavily reliant on a Postgres container. The Postgres container is being emulated. I realise that this might not be due to the architecture or the M1 per se but due to the fact tha

by madsbuch 4y ago
You are probably right. And the architecture would probably perform better in other settings. However, I got a computer with these limitations on cooling so it is not quite relevant how it would perform under other conditions.

by madsbuch 4y ago
That's a fair concern. For me, the computer performs really well on web / office workloads. I came from a Thinkpad X1 extreme from 2018 with PopOs installed. That computer gave me a significantly better performance running our dev

Please refrain from indicating that I wrote something I absolute did not. I said "As an example ..." which you are paraphrasing into "... for test suites". You are paraphrasing my existentialistic argument into a univers

To be honest an M1 (M1 Max, 64GB RAM) performs quite poor doing serious software development. As an example, it takes 22 sec to run a test suite on the M1, in our CI the same test suite takes 9 sec. These might be due to software that has n

Maybe the trick is to do the y-combinator of research? In the startup world it is widely believed that a bit of hardship is needed to show dedication. 1. Make the application process much simpler 2. Support with smaller amounts, individual

Postgres is amazing, but there are some issues you quickly hit with systems like this: 1. Side effects: Want to send an email when something happens 2. conditional permissions: Need access to data under certain circumstances not modelled by

This seems reasonable as the US Navy likely hadn't bough licenses for $155 mil, but had negotiated or accepted other use patterns than en-masse installation. Importantly, this should also be seen as precedence for private piracy and th

1 job at 140k + 2 freelance gigs at 75$/hour with a 40 hour ceiling each. Seems OK for 2 year frontend in the tech clusters.

This would appear to go into a much more fundamental questions about our society. Currently, when we see recession, we can increase government spending. This is usually done in infrastructure – we give people a job, and in return we get inf

APIs are not copyrightable (Oracle vs Google). However, the code that interacts with an API might be. Regardless, it is interesting to think about what domains are easier to generate effective models for. I would expect it to be easier to g

I think a large part of the value in research like this is the rigour in implementing it as formal proofs.

In Europe, the SEPA network, this has been the case for the past years. Just that it is free – and this is across countries. The American banking system is currently in a bad, insecure, and expensive state.
