@astuyve @BenjDicken Steelcase lost me the second I found out their nyc showroom is by appointment only. I went with HM Mirra 2. Not sure if it's more comfortable than Aeron, but I like the design.

@BenjDicken Steelcase gesture and it’s not close

What's the best $2k office chair and why? Aeron vs Embody

@_Felipe @turbopuffer The "new" GitHub search released a few years ago uses the same idea from the same article github.blog/engineering/ar…

@_Felipe @turbopuffer This is very cool and maps very well to the key-value storage model. The same Russ Cox article inspired me to build a fuzzy full-text search index for metrics a while ago at Datadog which still runs in prod.

new in tpuf: regex indexes regex and glob filters can now use a trigram index to avoid full-table scans

@BenjDicken There is a recent paper "Cloudspecs: Cloud Hardware Evolution Through the Looking Glass" that explores the performance of different cloud instances in depth cs.cit.tum.de/fileadmin/w00c…

Instance type matters a ton for your cloud compute. Datadog has a great tool for comparing performance across AWS, CGP, and Azure. Some types certainly deliver petter $/perf than others.

If you are running CPU-bound workloads in the cloud and are not using the latest ARM instance types, you are losing money cs.cit.tum.de/fileadmin/w00c…

Back to skis after 15 years of snowboarding. Can't decide between High Anxiety Adios.

@richardartoul I wrote this code after getting back to Go after Rust. The case still seems legit to me, I needed to send value-or-error over a channel.

You can just do things

@kskrygan In both Rust and Go I would occasionally get "low memory" errors that forced me to restart the IDE, and that was on an M1 Max with 64 GB of RAM.

@kskrygan In Rust the IDE struggled with some of the source files in the projects I worked on and would highlight entire files red, making the editor unusable. I remember two cases - one with macro-heavy code and another with tests that used a bunch of special characters and emojis.

JetBrains IDEs have gone downhill in recent years. IntelliJ went from working almost flawlessly for Rust and Go to often having issues to the point where the IDE becomes unusable. I'm not sure how they're going to survive with free alternatives getting pretty good.

"I simplified tx: Mutex<Option<mpsc::Sender<ScheduledTask>>> to tx: Arc<Mutex<Option<mpsc::Sender<ScheduledTask>>>>." Claude, are you sure?

AI-assisted coding feels a lot like a mix of management and coaching junior engineers, except you are coaching the LLM instead of a person.

Rust database developer starter pack: - Arc<Mutex>, RwLock, Ouroboros, ArcSwap - "Is atomic::Ordering::Relaxed enough here?" - "Polonius is not really ready for widespread use" - Tokio async disk IO is just blocking IO in a thread pool - tokio-uring: "Dead or dying?"

The whole "Zed is fast" thing doesn't really hold up when the language server is the bottleneck.

There is one major issue with Zed I noticed in two months, which is not directly Zed's fault: a large Go monorepo at work makes gopls slow, occasionally pinning a single CPU core to 100% for a few minutes. IntelliJ doesn't use gopls and didn't have that problem.

Now I started digging around in selfhosting on the mighty Reddit. Found a great music player which supports S3 storage from @akrylysov , started locally with S3 and bsimp player running locally. Then moved this behind Caddy and outside of the house.
