jonhohle, thanks. Do you know of examples of when milliseconds are part of the session tokens or accounts being created has been exploited?

There might also be a chance you can have your webserver included in the techempower benchmarks for their next round. Their code is submitted by experts and open-source: https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks

Congratulations! This is really great. I am going to try it.

In your benchmarks, consider adding actix which is also in Rust but considerably faster than rust axum according to: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r21&tes...

I am not a doctor - I just write code... I remember being up in arms about weird stuff in my food when I first heard about it but now I think about the wellbeing of the animals while they're alive and shit, man, if I were sick I'd want antibiotics too. When is it excessive? Is it because they're all so close together in the factory "farm"? What do the veterinarians say about this?

If you use wikipedia and you think they would be reliable if they were poor service, you are living a lie.

I'm glad someone else is saying it: AGI will emerge from sexbots.

I have not given transformers enough attention... but my impression is that this is still storing entities in the weights of the neural network instead of in a database where the can be operated on with CRUD. What are the knowledge discovery researchers doing with respect to transformers? And the SAT solver researchers?

Here is an article on KDNuggets that explains transformers but doesn't answer my questions: https://www.kdnuggets.com/2021/06/essential-guide-transforme...

This doesn't account for synonyms. I'd rather use a document embedding search.

90M requests daily from India? I wonder if KaiOS is checking whether it's got internet access.

I'll take that as a compliment! Thanks.

I like microframeworks because they do one thing well and they don't in the way - like a library. When I use batteries-included frameworks, I end up not using a lot of what they offer.

Dollar cost averaging means you aren't trying to time the market.

I used to be a stock broker. But right now I am not your stock broker. This is not advice.

Great fundamental wisdom is that you can't (consistently) time the market but you should try to Buy Low, Sell High. That said, we experience a massive COVID crash. It's a great time to buy, but we don't know how long it will last or whether it will be long recession afterwards.

Index investing through ETFs is a great way to get diversity in a single financial instrument such as the S&P (large companies), NASDAQ (tech), or the Russell (small companies.) The NASDAQ has largely recovered but the Russell still has a long way to go back to February prices.

I have an old friend whose parents sold their home recently and gave him a sum. He's putting in 10% per month for the next 10 months, all in the S&P.

Cool idea for an add-on!

I've noticed that I feel better about giving feedback to uncompensated developers using "this is great and" instead of "this is great but."

It could make or break someone's day.

My best advice for you is to write modular functions that can be tested separately rather than integrated stuff that can't be disentangled.

A unit test should test the functionality of a single chunk of code. What kind of stuff are you writing?

I write webservers most of the time. So what I do is, at the top level of the request, immediately pull data off of the request so that I can access to the data in native python types that are easy to mock for testing. Each layer of my webserver does only one thing which could be gluing the auth+services together, but is still easy to mock.

A reminder for us all: No matter how much faster your hardware, you can still write slower code

Dave Doyle and Dylan O'Mahony did something pretty amazing related too with websockets for Bose.

This is still super interesting, two years later but does anyone have an update?

Yes and the bait and switch from business for flowers?

And K-means??? Why not HDBSCAN?

Nice article. I am interested to see this stuff blended with the GPU/ML powered databases rather than the TF-IDF of decades ago - as well as it works

Please cite a serious source for "news" like this.

I have long felt like "beauty" in mathematics is just oversimplification.

Ironic that intelligent mathematics types get caught up in what could be analogous to socially hurtful stereotypes.

I am going to follow the author.
