One of the annoying things about "code simplicity" is that it is a subjective trait. Whether a piece of code is simple to understand depends very heavily on what the reader is used to, and that's not something that the writer

Lie groups in maths are named after some dude named Lie. Probably not a surprise to anyone who knows how it's supposed to be pronounced.

The charitable take is that this is a way to tell architects what life as a programmer is like. (I 100% believe that if an architect read this article, their takeaway would be that programmers have it too easy)

I once interviewed at Fast. One of the questions they asked was how to scale up a rate limiter. In my mind I was wondering why you'd ever need to worry about scaling up a rate limiter. The answer apparently was some kind of microservic

If I could offer one piece of unsolicited advice: in whatever you do next, make it a point to understand a) how the business is doing and b) what your impact to the business will be. Make it a point to gather numbers like e.g. revenue figur

Discord was (still is?) built on Elixir, which was a descendant of Erlang. It seems Erlang is comfortable in the niche of "real-time messaging platforms"

One thing I like about that zero-to-hero series is how he almost never handwave over seemingly minor details. Definitely recommend watching those videos and doing the exercises, if you have any interest in how LLMs work.

Something I'm curious about: There used to be a time when a "computer"[1] was an actual human being, whose full-time job was to perform mathematical calculations. That job is basically obsolete now obviously, but I do wonder

I've got two thoughts about this: 1. Industries don't go from 0% automated to 100% automated instantly. AI is still in its infancy, and still doesn't do a lot of things very well. I think we can last a while more before there

I agree. Type-checking in general is good. However, Python's type-checking mechanisms are bad. The syntax for adding types is very obviously bolted on, they miss basic type errors all the time, and third-party libraries often miss type

I searched "Fluke 87v power on options" on YouTube in an incognito page, and all I got were results around the multimeter. Like literally, my screen only had pictures of multimeters. For good measure I repeated the search in my ma

Because packaging is a very complex problem, and it's rare that any one packaging solution can get everything right in the first try. You will notice that every package management solution from all your favourite languages will have it

When you realise that a) it's easy to lie with videos, and b) videos are still way more trustworthy than any other media on the internet because those are even easier to fake It's not hard to think that you really shouldn't r

Apple is the odd one in terms of how narrow their product lineup is. Every other electronics company have market-segmented their product into 100s of devices. I have always wondered how a large company like Apple, with 161,000 employees ope

I think AMD is focusing on the "inference" side of ML, which doesn't really require CUDA or similar, and is what they believe a much larger market. Time will tell if that strategy is going to pan out. Ceding the ML "trai

Didn't know Ollama was used in production. I use Ollama + the Ollama Raycast plugin as it's probably the quickest way to run an LLM locally

Everytime I'm tempted to think software is easy compared to hardware, I just remember that AMD is leaving about a trillion dollars worth of market cap on the table, because they haven't figured out a good alternative to CUDA.
