Back in 2014 I had a talk on the very first #Scalar conference. One of my slides was joking that all of these lines are equivalent, except one, which doesn't compile. I have no idea which one was it ;-)

One more reason to avoid Jira ;-) "they found unencrypted usernames and passwords that the worker used to access and manage #EPAM customers’ #Snowflake accounts, including an account for #Ticketmaster.

So I'm watching this premium #Go tutorial. The expert shows how fetching 3 URLs sequentially takes 2.1s, whereas running concurrently takes only... 400ms. Both "tests" in the same process. I'm pretty sure connection pooling, DNS caching, HTTP caching and so on contributed much more than #goroutines... And I thought using float32 for money, a few chapters back, was bad

@sos Well, it seems like they simply put #ffmpeg in the cloud through API. It can actually be a reasonable business model: they run heavy ffmpeg workloads in serverless fashion. ffmpeg is mentioned once in their blog. They also explain their stack: #AWS API GW, AWS #Lambda, AWS #dynamoDB, AWS #SQS, AWS #EC2, AWS #ECS. You pay for the infrastructure you use + profit margin. Many companies simply take open source software and host it in the cloud

"#Bigtable [...] had these internal control-plane entities (as part of the implementation) called tablet servers, which had large indexes, and at some point they became a scaling bottleneck. So the Bigtable engineers scratched their heads over how to make it scale, and realized that they could replace the tablet servers with Bigtables to unblock the scaling. So Bigtable is part of its own implementation. It’s Bigtables all the way down" https://steve-yegge.medium.com/dear-google-cloud-your-deprecation-policy-is-killing-you-ee7525dc05dc #Google

#Civet: "The Modern Way to Write #TypeScript. Expressive Syntax and Faster Coding". I'm not 100% sure this example convinces me:

In some sense I appreciate the regularity of the syntax, but I still somehow find `bar(a + 1)` easier to read...

Fantastic explanation of #HyperLogLog algorithm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJYufx0bfpw. What's great about this video is that it uses very basic concepts, so that even non-programmers will understand it. On the other hand, CS terms like hash functions or sorted sets are mentioned in fine print, so the video doesn't sound childish

@infosec812 Actually #Spring #WebFlux simplified WebSockets significantly. E.g. here's a complete rudimentary chat that receives a message over web socket and broadcasts to everyone else: https://github.com/nurkiewicz/reactor-workshop/blob/solutions/webflux/src/main/java/com/nurkiewicz/webflux/demo/websocket/ChatHandler.java. Maybe 10 lines of real code.
