This looks cool! What level of proficiency do users need to be at to start with your app? Would this be a match for someone who's coming in with zero German?

I'd never heard about this, but I found Bentley super likable and easy to root for. I hope he manages to get things going in his direction soon.

How do they get away with relicensing GPL code? My understanding is that you can relicense code for which you own the copywright, but if you have any other contributors, those contributions are still under GPL. So, you'd have to either

Based on what you've shared, the second version can start reading instantly because "INFILE" was populated in the previous test. Did you clear it between tests? Here are the benchmarks before and after fixing the benchmarking

Thanks for the tip! I don't have experience with strace, and I'm wondering if I'm misunderstanding what you're saying. I tried running your suggested command, and I got 2,800 lines of output like this: execve(&quot

Structuring the review around objectively verifiable data creates other problems. What if there's a developer on the team who delivers 1/3rd the features as everyone else, but they offer such effective mentorship that their five t

I've thought about it, but I'm not sure how that would work. Because for me, the value proposition of having a Nix flake for my project is that I can bind the exact dependencies to the state of the code in my repo. So if I want to

Yes, this is exactly the problem I hit when I try to cache the Nix store on CircleCI.

I've been trying to gradually introduce Nix more into my development.[0] One roadblock I haven't been able to overcome is integrating Nix in CI. In my case, I use CircleCI. I know there are Nix-centric CI platforms, but I've

I admit that I don't deal a lot with latency measurements, but my memory from working at Google was that we focused on p50, p95, and p99. That was six years ago, and it wasn't my focus there, so it's possible I'm misreme

The impression I got was that they really weren't interested in working with me. Most of the sheet metal vendors I reached out to didn't even return my calls. The one vendor that called back accepted the job, but when it was done,

It was quite an ordeal! Our hardware engineering partner subcontracted the design to a team of industrial designers they'd worked with in the past. We ordered prototypes of the design from both China and vendors in the US. The Chinese
