Yes I do think about this occasionally at work for math heavy (LA and in house built convex optimization) problems. I cringe when I see tight loop with stream/functional java API. It’s not zero cost abstraction you know!

I have my entire photo in my iPhone synced to Gphotos. I also ran the "Free space" in my iOS GPhotos app to free up space. Now I am afraid of locking out of Google and my photos are gone.

Is Apple release cadence a 6-month length now? My company just suggests an upgrade to High Sierra a month ago. They don't even go for Mojave yet let alone Catalina. No wonder everyone is complaining about the quality.

I see that American businesses play double standard here. In the USA, sport teams and entertainment businesses are the loudest when it comes to free speech and civil rights, LGBT rights. But they will bend over for CCP money instead of stan

One of my "sniff" test to evaluate a martial art is whether it is taught in the police academy or in the military. I used to rely on the Olympics to do this kind of evaluation but not now due to heavy inclination toward the "

Reading for me goes through cycles. For months, I would not feel like reading at all, except for the daily dose of WSJ.com or HN and Reddit programming. Then, all the sudden I happen to discover a book from those online sources and spend mo

Sure, I will give my trust to the Chinese communist government over Google or Apple. One is prying for my money and the other is to suppress democracy.
