Deadline is tight, therefore, ORMs or row-by-row inserts are not an option. We can use COPY (Postgres bulk load command) because it is way faster than INSERT. The only (and big) caveat is that it fails on first malformed row. Thus, we have to pre-validate the CSV (column count, data types, escape characters, etc.) Split the file into 10-20 chunks and load each chunk in parallel using COPY inside a transaction. If a chunk fails, log the error, fix the malformed rows manually and retry only that chunk. We should use a staging table and load everything into staging_table, then run a single INSERT INTO final_table SELECT ... with deduplication. This way we never corrupt the final table. Monitor progress with pg_stat_progress_copy. And most importantly – test the pipeline on a 1M row sample first.

Google Interviewer: You’re given a single CSV file with 100M rows. You need to reliably persist all of it into a PostgreSQL table by tonight or you’re dead. How would you approach the problem.

Does anybody have any idea what hell Israel is seeking to gain from this war? I’m genuinely confused on this topic. Is it oil?? Is the complete genocide of all Arabs??? Like what is their dog in this fight. And why Lebanon being bombed????

@seraleev This is probably because of that guy who made the I'm rich app, and a ton of idiots paid $1,000 for it.

Apple can remove your app from sale for “irrationally high” pricing I personally know a founder who spent 2 months trying to get back into the App Store. Subscriptions kept running, but there was no new revenue. He never recovered to the same level.

@TeriDBeckham Yes, it's a great analogy, just like Unity runs its performance critical core in C++ while devs script in productive C#, AI frameworks run heavy tensor math and CUDA kernels in optimized C++/CUDA while letting you build, experiment, and iterate fast in Python.

@PajosTM Thanks, I appreciate you.

I was in class last week. One of my students raised their hand mid-lecture and asked something that stopped me for a second. "Why is every AI tool built on Python? C++ is faster. Rust is faster. Even Java is faster. So why Python?" Honestly it’s a fair question. And the answer reveals something really interesting about how the AI industry actually works. Let me explain this properly. 🧵

AI is amazing. I am extremely pro-AI 1. It has lowered the barrier of entry for programmers, resulting in hundreds upon hundreds of slop applications vulnerable to everything. This is job security. 2. AI influencers keep saying AI is going to destroy cybersecurity. This is good. AI influencers don't understand the size and scope of cybersecurity, they think it's just smashing a keyboard and making cat noises. This makes people less likely to enter our field, making us more valuable, making us more money. It's job security. Keep telling people cybersecurity is dead. 3. It's given us a new area of research: AI security 4. It's made task automation easier with slop Python scripts. In summary, cybersecurity is dead. DO NOT try to work in this field. It's all over. Cybersecurity has been solved!

@Suffragent_ Don't you like assimilation?

England, 2026. This is the president, vice president & treasurer of the Oxford University Union. 🇬🇧

@pati_marins64 The goal was/is mutual destruction of the regional powers, who could potentially pose a threat (economically) and/or Militarily, to Israel. Iran & the Gulf states were positioned to engage us mutually destructive conflict, allowing Israel to be the sole power in the region.

@gorgeousb82 @pati_marins64 This is the whole affair. It's crazy how so many think it's more complicated than this.

My fact-based reading is that the KSA, together with Bahrain, the Emirates, and Kuwait, have chosen a side in this war by allowing the use of their territory and airspace for attacks on Iran. The Saudis went even further by deploying their own tanker aircraft to refuel American and Israeli jets en route to Iran.

@_hxmmed Instead of trying to remember, you immediately look up things. The act of attempting to remember things strengthens them in your mind. A simple solution. Attempt to use your memory, even if you fail, each time you do this is will strengthen the pathways in your mind.

I’ve probably setup sshkeys on a server a 100 times but for some reason, I have to google/ask AI each time I need to do it again.

@F0ODHub Yo hands if you don't move them fast enough.

Fries aren’t available, what are you having with this burger?

Leave SkyNet alone.

no more joke now 💀😭

They say money can't buy happiness. Then how do you explain this?

@charliermarsh @kolemannix What happens when the next generation of people who can actually review code disappears because all of the juniors who would become seniors only know how to vibe code?

@kolemannix Hahah that's true! But the burden of review grows and grows as the volume of code (output) increases...

Tragically I am continuing to find that the most effective guardrail against slop is extremely talented engineers doing very thoughtful, human code review

@ibn_wittig Crazy thing is I've read almost this same post from 30 other people.

The most dangerous part of Artemis II mission isn’t going to the Moon but coming back After the flyby, astronauts in the Orion spacecraft will be heading toward Earth at about 25,000 mph. Now imagine this: You’re trying to enter a tiny door but you can't see it clearly, If your angle is just a little off and too steep then you burn up, too shallow and you bounce back into space. No brakes. No turning back. And all that stands between them and disaster? A heat shield taking temperatures hotter than lava. Crazy thing. The math and physics needs to be 100.

@cirnosad They just invented the electric car bomb
