It depends on the CPU, think. The most dramatic improvement I've seen is 20-30%+ improvements in python run times for numpy/pytorch heavy workloads on c2-standard-16 VMs in GCP with spectre mitigations disabled

my specific use case where I see significant performance improvement is image segmentation pipelines (which involve opencv-style image processing and AI inference). YMMV depending on your CPU I suppose.

Is it bad that I disable spectre mitigations on all my PCs to get a free double-digit-% performance boost?

That's fair, the interviewers did put unreasonable restrictions on the challenge that forced the overly clever solution. It was my kneejerk response from personal experience seeing candidates come up with overly clever solutions even t

It's reminiscent of Fullmetal Alchemist. The first attempt went completely off the rails when the writers ran out of source material and it had a very unsatisfying ending. However, after the manga was fully out, they re-made it as &quo

Honestly, at this point I'd just take a wiki page with a brain dump of any unrevealed lore along with his vague plans of how he was going to tie it all together and just let the community figure out the rest of the story, Elden Ring st

Seems like it would really slow you down though if you adopt it too early. Sometimes you don't even know if the thing you want to do is possible. My development style is: - prototype ideas in a quick and dirty dynamic typed language ju

Have you encountered extreme lag on your Deck? Most 2D games work great, but when I try to play Elden Ring or Stray or Jedi Fallen Order, it works well about 90% of the time, and the other 10% there is extreme lag that makes the game unplay

There's a reason "naming things" is one of the great hard problems of programming. Especially when you have to name hundreds of things while developing i.e. a framework. Unless it's a solo pedantic developer creating the

Yeah, that's what I meant by "captcha like" - mechanisms that prevent automated applications such as in person only; doesn't have to literally be captcha. Anything that fulfills the same purpose will do.

What happened to university job fairs were you can talk to actual people? New grads should be leveraging those first.

It's a chicken and egg problem. Companies would likely look at every application if there were only a few. But if there are 1000 for every position and most are automated then companies have to automate filtering on their end too.

I've seen some truly insane TS types. Ones that validate SQL queries and stuff. The problem with complex TS types is that there's no debug tooling. You can't set a breakpoint, you can't step through the type propagation.

Sometimes you don't have the type for something, especially if it's 3rd party code. For example, if you are integrating recaptcha with your page: https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/loading You
