you have to find the "renewed" price somewhat hidden on the amazon page

ah neat, so they rewrote the rendering engine in C++ and exposed it via Dart APIs, as opposed to everything being in Dart.

Flutter re-generates the entire layout every tick and diffs it (immediate-mode), like a game engine. If your device isn't quite fast enough it'll lag, yep. RN is retained mode (but written in immediate-mode style and the diffing only happens when it has to).

I've actually worked on distributed systems that were so broken, I created a script to connect to prod and just create the report from my laptop. My manager offered to buy me a second laptop for running the report since it was easier than getting approval from the architects to get rid of the distributed report system (it only created that one report).

If you're really concerned get a metal ammo box (they're like $15 at harbor freight in the US last I checked). I put my 40v ryobi tool batteries in these as they're known for going full firework.

This topic has been beaten to death but, they're much more durable and serviceable, and you can get them with nice IPS touchscreens (the MacBook oled PWM drivers make my eyes water, sadly)

Poor people are fat because cheap carbs, usually.

Taking a 7k lb vehicle to the grocery store is beyond dumb. If you can afford that EV, get a small car for in the city.

There are different hosted-by-us and openai powered spam classifiers, depending on what different communities care about.

Mine sucks, but there's some interesting stuff I guess: https://blog.winricklabs.com/

Just personal experience using LLMs. I've optimized a lot of things in the past year I wouldn't normally have time to do, especially build systems/pipelines.

It's so much cheaper to optimize now than before.

A dedicated OVH or Hetzner box would be faster and cheaper even when on all the time :)

Same. 2017 thinkpad, latest KDE, snappier than my 2025 Dell with Win11 and a processor that should be about 60% faster for single thread tasks.

Every modern openjdk build is licensed as GPLv2 + classpath exception. That exception includes hotspot, since it's part of the jvm. That exemption allows shipping the JVM with your app or linking to it. Otherwise a bunch of enterprise software couldn't exist.

He literally sits around and reads financial reports all day.

Nope. If two writes happen concurrently on different fields you'll lose one write, unless you lock. The storage layer just stores the data as a blob that gets overwritten every time, it doesn't support partial updates.

They already had to rebuild it once because it was in angularjs lol

PG JSON write operations are document level whereas with Mongodb it's field level.

Would you use a DB that only let you write an entire row instead of setting a single field? Race conditions galore. Be very careful choosing PG for JSON in production systems...

V8 does a lot of things to prevent copies. If you create two strings and concat them and assigned to a third var, no copy happens (c = a+b, c is a rope). Objects are by reference... Strings are interned.. the main gotcha with copies is when you need to convert from internal representation (utf16) to utf8 for outputs, it will copy then.

Although interestingly, for all the mongo deployments I managed, the first time I saw a cluster publicly exposed without SSL was postgres :)

(to be fair the memory manager reuses memory, so it's not calling out to malloc all the time, but yes a manually-managed impl. will be much more efficient)

Yeah it can only do so much with varying latency

Luckily most people wouldn't use zlib anyway, they'd use snappy or zstd, and this also requires authenticated access to the cluster ....

My no PWM laptops look fine to me for watching movies. Sure, less efficient. But if I can't look at it for more than 30 seconds without my eyes burning then what's the point?

Basically the issue is that it will "forget" what directory it's in and run "rm".

TS is worth the build step.

Scratch files in jetbrains ides also!

Single thread performance is important for many workloads. It's not nonsense. Things like index builds on an i4g vs i4i could be half as slow. That's really important!

I don't know why you continue to be a fucking asshole. It's just a hosting provider. Go touch grass.

Groan. Absolutely not. :)

c8g passmark score: 1853 c8i passmark score: 3008

I guess the fps column isn't a good representation of single thread score. Also looking at the passmark scores for i4i vs i4g, i4g is about 1k and intel is about 2k, and the more modern Graviton equivalent of i4 is the same price, so...
