It's like doping in sports, the cheaters get all the money and glory - until they get tested. The solution is more tests. If the study can't be replicated then there is a problem. There should be more tests in science, without tes

I like to philosophize about the universe, how at every state change a new universe is created. Like if the version of you I see is someone else, almost identical, and the version I interacted with have branched off into a new universe.

The symtoms that lead up to me learning about the need for locks in multi threaded servers was painful. That the state could change from one line of code to the next line, how could it change when I just set it a micro second ago? Because t

Sorry I meant codepoint/characters, but it would not suprise me if there existed an encoding or language where my wording would be technically correct, but I do not know of any such encoding. I also did not know that there exist more t

You don't need any fancy data structures. 95% of the performance goes into glyph rendering. And with Unicode the performance gain from monospace fonts goes out the window as some Unicode characters are very large, and not only that the

You can do the processing in a worker. Maybe even offload it to the client. If there is a live stream a pretrained machine learning model could be used and it could infear who will like what

I think it can be solved by personalizing the top page(s), so you mostly see the kind of stuff you upvote. If there are a few people up-voting crap you wont see it, but they will see all of it.

Hierarchical organizations thrives with the press machine and broadcast television. But the internet allows us to communicate everyone-to-everyone. So in theory it might be more effective to communicate between each other instead of top-dow

A gravitational assist/slingshot is just a transfer, think of cogs in a machine - by using axles and cogs you can change the speed and direction of the forces. source: KSP player

You don't need to to sharding if there is no relations between users. Just spread them out on different servers. If there is a relation, like who is friend with who, and not much else, you can lift out that into it's on service an

Run a separate db instance for each customer. With virtualization you can run many instances on the same physical machine. Depending on the tech stack all instances can be light weight. We did this in the early 2000 and our code was slow an

Q: Do ALL your customers need to access EVERYONE ELSES data!? For most businesses, one customer is only interested in their own data. So that's where you can scale out - put each customer on their own virtual instance.

About the "posts need to be 100% correct", I sometimes read through my old blog posts and find a bunch of errors. If it was a post on HN you can no longer edit it, but if it's your own blog you can just edit and make correcti

JS has first class functions that you can pass around. The different colors debate was just a confusion - there where only one type of function, just that some functions took a function as an argument, althgough JS has no async functions. A

I take it that many people like the idea with tree-sitter but don't really know how to use it. Tree-sitter does have documentation but it's not that useful. It would be interesting to know how many sales you get from a niche book
