I've used WinMerge, its very different from the above tool because its still a text diff. It often gets the diffs wrong when multiple lines are involved. Take this trivial C# example: https://www.diffchecker.com/gr0H7qA1/

Most diff tools throw out something that is quite difficult to parse, but difftastic gave me the most concise diff so far.

What an amazing tool, wish it had a GUI version as well.

Leela Chess Zero is the open source successor of Alpha Zero, and has been the second strongest engine (except a few times where it bested stockfish) for the last few years.

While I agree with the point you made, I want to point out that the fatality rate for driving an automobile is much lower than 1 in a 1000. In the United States, the number of fatalities per vehicle-mile driven is approximately 1.5e-8[1]. On your average errand run, you have about a one in a hundred million chance of being killed/killing someone.

Not the original commenter, but Firefox has noticeably poorer performance on my MacBook pro 2018, especially on react-heavy sites like the AWS Console or Twitch.tv

Having worked with databases for a while, SQL seems to be useful because it forces you to think about how your data is structured. To me SQL is a thin wrapper around the relational algebra notation. The biggest problem I run into with SQL is that it is hard to tell how performant a complex query is before actually running it.

Great writeup on data migrations. I was wondering whether you did a comparison for this method vs using AWS snowball[1] to export S3 Data and B2 Fireball[2] to ingest it.

Skimming through the recipes, it seems to be mostly meat-based dishes. I would like to see a similar cookbook with plant based alternatives.

You can definitely build a fully functional web app using just serverless. For an example, take a look at https://acloud.guru . Where I work, we almost exclusively use serverless, and I have found it to be incredibly reliable, and way more hands-off than a docker deployment.

You're not alone. I forced myself to read through half the book before asking myself what was the point of solving essentially leetcode style problems using only tail-end recursion and glorified linked lists. At no point did I ever feel that the scheme language had any practical applications.

Running functions in a VPC cause them to have cold starts of ~5 seconds. Connection pools need to be centralized to be of any use, since lambdas scale automatically.

Pardon my ignorance, but how is it possible to track Bitcoin holders? I thought that it was really easy to create multiple Bitcoin addresses, so if a rich miner wanted to hide his holdings he could create a separate address for each transaction and he would in effect be untraceable right?
