@lzsthw since you are into Nim these days, consider their forum software (uses only nim and sqlite, IIRC), that powers . source:

If you've ever watched a political debate on TV, you may wonder what the point is. Nyaya philosophers were big proponents of debate, but not the kind you see on network TV. Episode 6 of Sutras (and Stuff), "Debating" is now available:

Another Asian parent screamed, “First you blame white people, now you blame us!? Grow up! Study harder or go home!”

"The American Dream is best captured in how people talk about the future, especially for their kids. While most working class Americans see their children’s future as dimmer than their own, working class immigrants see it as brighter." @Chris_arnade

This is a very well written article. Worth your time. For your convenience you can read it in parts ( the article is divided into 3 parts)

RT pls

This is @BharathPM_ 's work

There are very few editors that allow you think in terms of work flow like that. The only other editor that I found interesting in this regard was but that feels like spreading mulch in your frontyard with a spoon.

So many amazing things about this culture only makes the mistery of it's collapse more intriguing

hell if this isn't the best mascot for a programing language I've ever seen

We now have a map of currently infections and total infected by county. Check it out:

The British routinely exiled rulers of territories they had conquered to distant lands. Bahadur Shah Zafar was exiled to Rangoon, Burma in 1857. King Thibaw of Ava (Burma), Queen Supalayat & 4 daughters arrived in exile to Ratnagiri (Maharashtra) in 1886.

@btbytes @calm_sutra Not quite, But the reference is this one:

an open source Open Container Initiative-compliant container management tool from Red Hat used for handling containers, images, volumes, and pods on the Linux operating system

What does it cost to built a system that can serve 2M requests in an hour? Join me and @pigol1 today evening for the first episode of Scaling from The First Principles series. This is one of the case studies that we will discuss. #teaser

@rootconf

This is actually very nice:

@anandology @pigol1 @rootconf so it is more involved than that.. 4 pieces of info:

Pypolars (a fast dataframe library written in Rust) Beating Pandas in Performance

@anandology @pigol1 @rootconf yes, even if the roll number is not unique, the combination of two or more keys will be. the "search page" can redirect the user to a URL containing the pregenerated page for that combination key. say ck = f(rollno, admitno) calculated in JS. Redirect 2

@Chris_arnade here is the link to the paper:

Top episode:

"Rachel Laudan talks about the importance of grain, the spread of various styles of cooking, why French cooking has elite status, and the reach of McDonald's. The conversation concludes with a discussion of the appeal of local food."

Fantastic @EconTalker this week. Reminds me of one of my old favs (see next tweet):

"Postrel, author of The Fabric of Civilization, tells the fascinating story behind the clothes we wear and everything that has gone into producing them through history."

Dolly Parton being involved in the COVID vaccine is one of those charming 2020 twists. Though if you know about Parton's philanthropic efforts (which are vast), it's perhaps not so surprising.

Plus, it somehow also involves @JadAbumrad of @Radiolab.

guess who is now signing off posts with "iti" (Sanskrit for 'in this manner/thus')

Reviving a practice I learnt from my fother from (paper) letter writing days.

@svat Such exercises can reveal not only whether something "is a thing" in another language, but also how something relates to other things differently in another language. How "close" or far-fetched the same analogy feels in both, can be quite telling. 1/

@darpyu @spakhm Great talk by Milton Friedman about this

The drunk Indian uncles at the functions were right... Indians DID come up with everything before the Euros

One of the most impressive benchmark figures is memory copy - Graviton 2 got about 30 GB/sec - twice AMD, three times Intel and the M1 doubles that at 60 GB/sec if Apple can scale as well - an 8 core system at 300-400GB/sec.

I've collected a bunch of talks that were inspiring and/or educational to me these past few years. What talks inspired you?

@btbytes Same energy

Amazon has entered the retail pharmacy business and will compete with the likes of CVS and Walgreens. This is a bigger deal than might first appear, and has the potential to address high out-of-pocket spend on drugs by consumers.

Scylla Student Projects, Part III: Kafka Client for Seastar and Scylla // written is #Seastar

@normonics In the last GE, India counted more than 660M on home grown (& mnfd) electronic voting machines with paper trail. Same week as US elections, Bihar (very poor state with history of mass electoral violence) with ~100M citizens also voted with no incidents

@hamsanandi @singhsahana I saw recently another related book written by well known historian Jyotsna Kamat .

@JamesMarsh79 @mightykaos41 😎

Earlier today someone "Show HN:"ed a URL shortener using a smorgasbord of tech stack. I implemented one in <30 lines of code (plain JS, 1 line of nginx config, and JSON for data storage)

See this:

@rakyll @mattklein123 You may find it interesting to see how EC2 collects metrics and logs from all the EC2 servers. My recent builder’s library article was inspired by lessons learned from such systems.

If you have access to O'Reilly Safari (say through ACM subscription), you can read all these books online.

I made a playlist -

Surprising that they chose to benchmark their new IPS vs Snort 3, and not @Suricata_IDS . Easier to beat up on Snort?

RT @whitequark: this report is amazing, read it in full to really appreciate
in short: tesla instrument clusters fail a lot because they use a cheap NAND flash marketed for "smart phones, cameras, ..., electronic toys" and write syslog to it

Saw two mentions of using cgroups to isolate processes within the last hour. something to learn more about:

python malloc_trim
