Tell that to my brain, it's always optimizing what does not exist!

Thanks for the reminder.

"my VP more headcount and therefore more clout"

This had me thinking, how are they going to get "clout", by comparing AI spending?

This is a great learning tool!

One small improvement, show the return values, not just the result, and somehow visualize if the function has not yet returned.

Maybe it's just because I'm used to debuggeres, but the vertical arrangement of variables and their values seems weird.

Adding to this, both for BGP or HTML if you don't already know what they mean, the "full form" does not really help.

That becomes very evident once you consider how slow a bike can move and still be very stable.

Not only that, you have a pile of layers that could be advantageous in some situations but are an overkill in most.

I've seen Spark clusters being replaced by a single container using less than 1 CPU core and few 100s MB of RAM.

Unless you live in front of the sea, frozen fish is almost always better.

Tomatoes can improve substantially if left without refrigeration, it's one of those fruits that continues to ripen after being picked.

Have you tried? Maybe it can.

When something like this comes up I remember CGP Grey's video "Rules for Rulers".

From what I understood, they are just "reserved" areas. e.g. if you have 200 slots, the first 100 are the first "area", the second 50, 25 etc.

Great way to see it, papers should not be your first point of contact.

I was thinking the same, one usage could be to discover cases that don't make functional sense. Assuming these tests get reviewed.

I think one thing the industry does not do properly is applying different practices and standards depending on context.

An retailer website is not the same as a trading platform, the same way that a house is not the same as a railway station. But we blindly try to apply the same "good practices" everywhere.

We also have another interesting phenomenon, our products can mutate in their lifetime, and our practices should follow (they often don't) an MVP can become a critical system, a small internal project can become a client-facing application, we can re-platform, re-write, etc. That's very rare in other industries.

I can't believe we have the exact same process. Even the power down.

But... Black coffee for me.

Git does not store changes it stores a tree with the whole state of the repo for every commit. This tree has references to the files, when a file is changed a new copy is always added and the new commit will reference the new tree with the reference to the new file.

When you ask git for a diff it compares the trees and when there is a difference it compares the files the trees reference and it shows you a diff.

Git does not store diffs, it stores file trees.

Also applicable to "randomness"

The funny thing is that we call that minestra in Italy. I keep being pleasantly surprised by how food is just different shades when you move from country to country...

Not only that. Where would the material used instead of this plastic come from?

I guess what most comments here are missing is the analysis behind certain purchases that come almost as a default in certain people's life like a bigger home, better car, etc.

Not everything has to be cost-optimized some things can be just for pleasure or for the peace of having something available when needed.

What I do think is that for a lot of people many of these purchases are just a default path to follow.
