I built a data app one time and one of my devs spent a lot of brain cycles trying to get data to process a little bit faster.

We were getting data through a partner who restricted our data access through an API, where we were limited to 100 records per call. Turns out discussing Spark vs Duck DB isn’t helpful if 99.9% of your software latency is from having to make 750,000 HTTP calls every weekend to run your BI pipeline. For the record, that API was a Rails app - but it was certainly not the fault of the framework in that scenario.

Point being, for web apps, I don’t think it matters unless you’re in the top 100 websites, and even then it probably doesn’t. Complaints about htmx efficiency always confused me for this reason. Your app isn’t slow because you rendered HTML instead of JSON.

Sorry to digress, others may know better than I do but this one is just my experience.

The only time I’ve run into computation speed bottlenecks in either was doing data analysis in Python, and you usually just bring in Python libraries that aren’t written in Python like polars or DuckDB. Sounds dumb, but it works pretty well.

Standard practice has always been for me that long running tasks get sent to a job queue anyways. So ideally nothing in the UI is dependent on something that is long running. But again, in my own work any long running tasks is almost always limited by network latency.

There's always things to learn. Ruby does have enough features that you can take years to memorize things, sure. But to learn enough to make a program that does useful things doesn't take long. If you already know how to program in a different language, maybe a weekend at most.

Ruby was my first language and it didn't take me long (maybe a week of very part time tinkering) to learn how to make a basic 2D platformer game, or scrape the web for financial data and throw it into a database. The first time I made a Rails app it took maybe 30 minutes, to go from nothing to a basic CRUD app that does things and is online on Heroku.

In a professional context, I've heard of non Ruby devs getting up to speed pretty quickly. And as much as there might be to learn mastery, it's still a dynamic language that takes away most details for you (like managing memory) so you can definitely be useful far quicker than if you were to learn C, Rust, Haskell or shudders C++.
It's targeted at PHP apps.

They seem to handle a lot of nontrivial issues I have to deal with frequently like synchronization, but weirdly enough they do it with JWTs. For me the entire point of SSEs is that I can avoid using JWTs and use standard session logic which is very easy to reason about.

By the way I'm sure JWTs are fine not trying to step on any toes I'm just not an expert with them and I know there are footguns so with security stuff I stick to the most boring technology I have access to.
I used to sit next to Nate, the founder of cppreference.com . Humble dude. I had no idea he created it until a coworker mentioned "did you know that Nate created a website about C++".

No, LLM needs excellent communicator. It can statistically spit out knowledge but someone has to embed that knowledge. Given how vague and contradictory most requirements are and how complete and excruciatingly detailed prompts must be, LLMs will be useful to generate prototypes faster to check assumptions of the lost knowledge, nothing more or less.

Go’s stdlib is almost as good as Python’s—with the bonus of a stricter type system and faster execution speed. Package management in Go is better too, though uv is making Python’s experience smoother.

That said, Python is great, and beginners love it. For algorithms and prototyping, I still prefer it. But for writing servers, Go’s stdlib lets me spin up a production-ready, concurrent server using just the basics. What Go lacks, though, is something like Django, which it could really benefit from.
Another thread just said basically the opposite, that it was easy to host multiple sites, and sold me on Kamal. I get not wanting to do it, but I just spent 10 minutes writing a basic HTML page and 90 minutes trying to get GitHub pages to do SSL and I’m still not sure I got it.

You try to cherry-pick facts to prove that somehow, someway that communism is superior to capitalism. This ignores a century of evidence showing communism has only lead to mass death, mass misery, and poverty in the form of systematic theft and wealth transfer to an elite that the system is somehow meant to prevent. It ignores human nature and the reality that this system enforces economic slavery with little to show for it. The people of that generation were failed by economic mismanagement, both before, and after the fall of the USSR. Instead of the China model of allowing capitalism a slow ramp up while keeping certain things nationalized they instead decided to simply destroy their existing institutions. That is not a failure of capitalism. That is a failure of Russia and of the Russian people and their communist system which instilled a national tradition of corruption the likes of which no western nation has ever seen. No poll is going to change the economic success of China and of Eastern Europe in the wake of the fall of the Iron Curtain. A downvote with a textual rebuke is the most polite we can be on this topic. Your entire career path as it stands now is a product of western capitalist nations working together for common purpose and for the betterment of mankind.

If you had any sense you would be on your hands and knees thanking providence for the luck you had being born in a time and place where you are able to pick and choose your own destiny instead of being shoehorned into a blue collar 8 to 6 factory job refining crude oil for the soviet state or being sent to a front line like those poor North Korean soldiers.
A lot of that is based on assumptions from the 50s and 60s, which have been proven false in the late 80s by more rigorous studies.

When you increase activity, over the course of weeks, the body adjusts and does everything it can to not touch those fat stores.

Remind me an Arab state where Arabs are constantly persecuted for being an Arab. It has NEVER been about citizenship (and yes, many countries have very strictly limited immigration of Jews before and after creation of Israel), it has always been about constant persecution of Jews. When Arabs lost to Jews in Israel Independence War then they started to punish and oppress Jews living in Arab states. Were these Jews responsible by any means? No, their only fault was being a Jew. And it's just only a single example.

> We completeely design our cities around cars. Just the act of walking 30 minutes a day makes a huge differenc.

+1. Car-centric design stands 99.9% for US. In contrast, many cities in EU have grown organically over decades both with walkability, accessibility in mind and quite decent public transport. With business offices often still being pretty centric.

I've been moving around EU, working in different big cities and had a luck of renting flats within walkable 30-45 mins from the workplaces / client offices. If the weather sucks, I can count on public transport. It's always a bit of extra budget stretch to rent something more centric, but it's really worth it imho.

A morning walk to the workplace, while grabbing a coffee / breakfast on the way or a walk back home while disconnecting from the virtual world is a routine that can highly recommend. It gives also more motivation for either passing by the office or marking the work/leisure boundary when working in hybrid/remote mode. No need to live in a constant hustle mode.

> God, as I heard recently in a Catholic mass, is always facing us - though we so often turn away. Like a securely attached mother, Reality/God remains present, ready to repair, connect, love, and attune. Our task isn't to earn this love but to develop the capacity to receive it, to stay present even when it challenges and shatters our familiar views of self and world.

I hate to pick out just one quote, but this is really emblematic of the issue I have with the source article. A Catholic mass is not about our psychological status or abstract relationship with reality - it's a remembrance of the incarnation of God into a specific man we call Jesus, his life in the ancient Roman governate of Judaea, his execution and resurrection, and his plans to come back and resurrect all of us at some point in the future.

If you would prefer to follow "Reality/God", more power to you. But it's critical to recognize that you're rejecting the Catholic tradition by doing so, not following some deeper truth.
> Incidentally, “cesium” is the American English spelling of the name of atomic element 55, and “caesium” is the IUPAC spelling.

I'm so glad we settled on common notations (drived from Brahmi script) to represent numbers. On one end, we humans chase precision with math. On the other end we humans can't even agree on spellings in the same language spoken in different continents. I wonder if spelling differences has resulted in any critical failures such as the metrics conversion error in NASA Mars Climate Orbiter in 1999

> Meaning quality is more important than quantity.

It's not a binary choice.

Price is a non-linear factor here: "quality" may be prohibitively expensive as a single purchase, even if it is less expensive over X years than re-buying a cheaper item every year.

In the US, shopping trends are clear that many people (perhaps most) value quantity very highly, to the point that they will sacrifice "quality" which is loosely defined and more subjective. IME this also ties into Americans being very price conscious.
Probably would be better carefully tap into the signal lines to the LCD panel, and record and decode that data to then make a video. However if we assume that even the cable going to the panel is encrypted and the board on the panel is decrypting it. (although I have never messed with a panel like that). However it still has to got to drive the rows and columns of the display, so then data to column and row drivers is still in the open.

If we were to even assume the Column/Row drivers chips only accepted encrypted data they still have the individual traces coming out of them. The pitch of the traces is super tiny, but still possible to tap, but would be a massive pain, but still do able.

Although you can get devices that strip the encryption from an HDMI signal these days so it's kinda moot. So it's not exactly something anyone would need to do these days.

Modern life enables the most effective exercise (really "training" is the correct word) in the history of humanity.

There is no more potent stressor (in regards to the degree of adaptations that result---I guess getting shot in the face is a more potent stressor, but it's hard to recover from) than weightlifting. For example, you can radically change your physiology just doing a single (hard) set of 5 deadlifts a week. Spending just ~30 seconds a week under acute stress can take a human male who cannot lift 185 lbs to one who can lift 405 lbs in a number of months. It's radically, stupidly, unreasonably, and absurdly effective.

We have the most understanding and most effective tools to take advantage of the adaptive mechanisms of our bodies than ever before.

I think people think that "exercising" has to be this pervasive, incessant thing that invades every facit of life and requires constant discipline. Even the linked article hints at this---walk 45 minutes daily, stand all the time, etc. All that shit constitutes (for all but the most untrained) extremely small stressors that are rapidly adapted to (and hence no longer do anything but maintain your existing level of fitness) and that take a lot of time (and can be rather uncomfortable, like standing for hours). More is not better. If you disrupt homeostasis with one set of 5 deadlifts, you've disrupted homeostasis! The adaptation is in motion. It doesn't matter that it only took 30 seconds. And unlike standing or walking, it's easy to effectively increase the stress to reap more adaptations: add weight to the bar. (To be clear, I'm not discouraging walking/standing/Zumba/whatever---they're all better than doing nothing and they can complement weightlifting. I'm just pointing out that there are much more efficient ways to rapidly accrue useful stress (well, I'd argue the amount of useful stress you can accrue from walking or Zumba or whatever is limited because the activities themselves can't be effectively scaled to result in more stress) and if you were to choose only one, the choice should be weightlifting.)

Deadlifts are life's panacea. You should be doing them.

I use similar setup on Windows (with vmware/virtualbox/hyper-v at different times), which kinda highlights one additional upside: it doesn't matter that much what the host system is, you can do your work all the same regardless if it is macos/windows (or even linux). As long as it can run the vm and vscode, you are good to go. Although admittedly Apple going with aarch64 throws a small wrench in the equation.

It is especially nice in corporate environment, where the host system is generally managed by IT and the devices are largely impersonal (standardized configuration, standardized software). You can carve out a corner to make your own and work there. <insert rant on ineffective corporate IT>
