I find that sometimes changing the font in my IDE can give me an inexplicable boost

I think that's something I don't want to imagine

The advantage of VMs is that you can nuke them and be done with it if you need to.

I use my personal laptop for $WORK and everything work related is done via the VM.

No. It's because farmers sometimes pollute rivers (despite household sewage being pumped into UK rivers daily), want to kill badgers to stop TB spreading, and because they work large areas of land they're obviously wealthy.

> If collapse happens, it notes the UK does not have the ability to absorb global shocks through higher domestic output. It lacks enough land to feed its population or rear livestock to maintain current consumption patterns and price levels.

Yet they're pushing to use farmland for solar farms and social housing.

There's a real hatred of farmers among the UK Leftist/Green crowd.

My biggest gripe is why these JS APIs even exist in the first place

It is annoying that they didn't just apply this to all containers

Let's not vague post on HN. What's the problem with the above?

Your machine takes 30 minutes to boot because of the RAM? Or it takes 30 minutes to load a model?

This is not the same as saying there's no problem.

A fraction of humans will ever compete in the Olympics. People train their whole lives for it. It's not about 'scale', it's about safety and fairness. It's not reasonable to expect them to 'shut up' about it.

I don't want to watch a man beat up a woman in a boxing ring.

You're most likely part of the 2bn that showed no, or a passing interest, in the Olympics.

> Continuously capturing low-overhead performance profiles in production

It suprises me that anything designed by the OTel community could ever meet 'low-overhead' expectations.

If you enforce that the buffer size is a power of 2 you just use a mask to do the

    if (next_head == buffer.size())
        next_head = 0;

part

UK, California and Brazil, no?

If I get a beer with no head I'm assuming the glass was dirty

My first thought is that this is a sign of burn-out.

Has Amazon's advertising TAM product been affected by AI?

Boost is stronger than ever.

Then why are you using rust for these tasks?

Can't beat a good turf fire though!

How is performance not measurable?

Getting into the weeds of what a compiler does with your code is fun.

People have been doing micro optimisations since computers became a thing, you benefit from them every day without realising - and seemingly not appreciating - it.

Why is the n4d-2 spot price nearly double that of the n2d-2?

It used be Google Deployment Manager but that's dead soon so terraform.

To roll back you tell GCE to use the previous image. It does all the rolling over for you.

Our deployment process looks like this:

- Jenkins: build the code to debian packages hosted on JFrog

- Jenkins: build a machine image with ansible and packer

- Jenkins: deploy the new image either to test or prod.

Test deployments create a new Instance Group that isn't automatically attached to any load balancer. You do that manually once you've confirmed everything has started ok.

I think it's possible with an atomic<shared_ptr> too (C++20)?

A shared_mutex comes in useful when you can't really have multiple copies of the shared data due to perhaps memory usage, so readers fail to acquire it when the writer is updating it.

We've used ECS back when we were on AWS, and now GCE.

We didn't have to invent any homegrown orchestration tool. Our infra is hundreds of VMs across 4 regions.

Can you give an example of what you needed to do?

GCP's UI sure is dog slow. I once filled in that 'How would you rate...' prompt that sometimes appears about Instance Group management via the UI and it seems they later addressed the issue.

you don't have to use it

Perhaps you should make the first step towards funding?

Programmers have an unfortunate tendancy to be too honest!

I;ve had to coerce gcc to emitting SIMD code by using int instead of bool. Also, the early return may be putting it off.
