So sad this wasn't shared via https://archive.ph/L2u8Z


With wsl (or docker desktop), for non production tooling, I don't think it's relevant anymore.

(I'm not saying it's on par with linux, I'm just saying it's usable)


How a friend of mine created a super fast csv parser by playing with branchless programming and SIMD to avoid the CPU serialized computation bottleneck


Funnily, "data security" encompass both protecting it from undesired access (and stealing) but also from loss/corruption.

So they do a terrible job from a data security point of view;)


Exactly what I was thinking: a modern privacy first proposal may be better suited with starting from chromium, even if it hurts feelings


In some of grant’s video, it sort of do 3d, not’interacively though: https://youtu.be/KTzGBJPuJwM


There is also the coopling issue: when your code depend of another part of your own code, it may be broken by this inner dependecy. If the code is not intégration tested enough, then rarely used features may be broken without you noticing, thus the roting expression. Modern standards help protect against this with the test pyramid.


I indeed did learn (a lot). Thank you sir for this monster:)


For those who will stumble as me: Loc = lines of code. (He he, we were talking about complexity, weren't we?)


I wonder how much this has to do with the post brexit's economic slowdown. Like is it a temporary rebound or a new trajectory?


>Like is it a temporary rebound or a new trajectory?

It's in the article: "Sanjay Raja, chief U.K. economist at Deutsche Bank, said the growth uptick will likely be short-lived, especially during the second quarter when trade uncertainty will be at its peak."


my guess is a bit of both

1. due to Brexit but I think also other reasons they had face planted their economy so hard that its very normal to some some "fast growth" after fixing some of the problems

2. there had been a lot of interesting interactions between Russian Oligarch (and their Families) and the UK in the last decades. And this dynamics got affected a lot by the Russian invasion of Ukraine which probably did contribute to the economical crash, but also (indirectly) might have lead to some very wealthy Russians to decide to double down on living in the UK including wrt. spending and investment (note: I'm mainly thinking about successful business people not quite big enough to count as oligarchs and family of oligarchs, i.e. not oligarchs themself as in not people highly involved in Russian power dynamics). But I don't have enough insights about this point to be fully sure about it.

3. One option many countries have is to sacrifice the rights, health and/or future of their citizens for economic grows. E.g. by de-facto removing/reducing worker protections, consumer protections etc.. While this is rarely sustainably long term it tends to work short term and it seems to have at lest slightly happened in the UK, through to some degree in a roundabout way. It's kinda like subventions but instead of paying with money you pay with the future of the people you are supposed to protect. Through sometimes it temporary necessary to get a chance to rebuild a better future then if you hadn't done that. I'm not sure how much this directly benefits the UK but it tends to set a signal for a country to be "investor friendly" which can be beneficial.


It's the biggest (0.7%) since the same quarter last year (0.9%).
