I worked for a long/short fund and am personally (and vocally[1]) short some names. I have nothing against short selling, it’s an important function of healthy markets. To give you an example of what I'm worried about, our account

I’m worried about setting a precedent that the right thing to do is head to the exits the moment rumors start to circulate. It’s hard to argue now that that wasn’t the right move for any individual depositor in retrospect. I can easily imag

It’s not actually suspicious or criminal, it’s a portfolio site done in the style of a suspect map in a criminal investigation (or at least, a cinematic portrayal of a crime investigation. The reality is probably more electronic, but that

And some old screenshots of Blender! I’m confused by what they’re doing there but it all does seem to work and I love it.

There is a product called a Certificate of Deposit[1], but I don’t hear much about them. They seem like quite a bit of hassle for not much more interest. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_of_deposit

I think it's more that the crypto crash and SVB liquidity issues are dominoes from the interest rate environment. SVB wasn’t particularly deep in crypto AFAIK, although if I’m remembering correctly I think I once met someone on a speci

Is this an elaborate scam? Anyone can pay to publish a press release, and it's not clear to me how much due diligence the companies that publish them do. The site is not on the regular TP Link site, and their news section[1] has no men

Interesting, just checked it out. In this case I need to build and run a local (Rust) dev server in the background while the tests run, does Brisk support that?

I ported some tests from jest to bun recently and have been been pleasantly surprised -- it was pretty much a drop-in replacement and the speed difference is certainly noticeable. That said, it was a tiny and simple test set[1]. It may not

A combination of lower due diligence requirements and high (effective) fees meant that companies that could go a more traditional IPO path usually preferred that path. The leftovers were mostly the duds. It was kind of a market for lemons

I get real value out of GPT-based models for software development. I've had ChatGPT answer questions about particular APIs I don't use often, and Copilot has made it faster to rapidly iterate on things because I don't have to

I thought maybe the article was cutting out context from the source, so I read the source[1], and not only was the article not taking it out of context, there are even more damning quotes: > As one Lessor explains, while “we are all tech

Congrats on the launch! We've been using Depot with Plane ( https://plane.dev/ ). Prior to depot, I had to disable arm64 builds because they slowed the build down so much (30m+) on GitHub's machines. With Depot, we

GP mentioned GPUs. GPUs + bursty traffic = either you autoscale, or you burn through a bunch of credits and VC cash on idle GPUs.

by paulgb 4y ago
Option #4 will give you autoscaling without having to deal with k8s. IIRC all of the options listed still involve writing a Dockerfile, though. Render.com, Cyclic.sh, and Railway.app are also in that category(ish) but will automate the buil

I’m curious about your career path. Did you start by doing it in-house and then go into consulting? Are you at a big consultancy or do you run your own specialty DD consultancy?

The first in local-first is relevant. These aren’t local-only apps that are unaware of the network (as is typical with native apps), they are applications that can sync data among instances and combine concurrent offline changes by differ

To be exceedingly pedantic, I think GP is using the phrase “not to be pedantic” as a magical incantation intended to make the pedentry following it not pedantic, the same way people say “no offense” before saying something offensive, or “no

They’ll give you ways to limit the CPU use of the OS process, but not the individual actor “processes” (Erlang overloads the term), which are opaque to k8s/linux/docker.

Does it need to have a goal? I found it to be a touching read and an often not-seen personal perspective on the ongoing layoffs.

ggobi is very cool. I was always surprised that the ideas it exemplified were so slow to catch on. Glad OP is working on rectifying that.

Small bills are funny. I'm surprised if the interchange fees don't net out negative for the biller. My most recent Rackspace bill was $0.05. I don't even remember what I'm using it for any more, but it's not worth i

I had some notes on Dear ImGui (and the prevalence of immediate-mode across other frameworks that it inspired), but ultimately cut it for length because I wanted to focus on applications rather than frameworks/GUI toolkits.

Cool, looking forward to the example :) I actually didn’t realize that the expected last sequence could be combined with nats-rollup. In the example above (as I understand it) if we added that to the snapshot, NATS would throw out the snaps
