At least in terms of open-source, I often say that the Aeron code base is one of the best projects to study in terms of software quality (especially Java). The real-logic (now Adaptive) guys are a skilled and knowledgeable bunch.
I find myself often wishing that I could create multiple labeled branches of conversation flow for things like this - perhaps it's some constraint of LLM's but I'm actually quite surprised how linearly-limited the flow is on ChatGPT.
I'm tired of the comparisons of "the industrial revolution" and the "printing press", I don't see those as comparable to what's happening here. Although Devin isn't this, there's a reason people refer to AGI as our last invention.
Big Peter Lawry fan - I use Chronicle Wire (the library mentioned in the article) often, it's a really nice serialization/deserialization library when performance/allocation is a focus. Combining Chronicle tools + Real Logic tools you can build some extremely performant Java applications.
I've actually really enjoyed some of the recommendations I get - my homepage is usually videos on Java, networking, DCS related content and for some reason last week I got a recommendation for a video by this channel that recreates historic life and the video was how to make a typical dinner as if it were 1820 - it was so random but awesome.
I think that's a really valuable approach - either dedicate the time and effort now to focus on it or just forget about it. This helps relieve the cognitive burden of your attention minimally scattered amongst N number of different things.
Just from my own experience, I've had tons of floaters my entire life (since I was around 9 years old) and I used to be entirely fixated on them. I would constantly squint and look at the sky inspecting them - are there more, have they changed? Like all things in life you get used to things and while I couldn't really say when, at some point I stopped noticing them entirely (as others have mentioned). I still have A LOT of them and they are clearly visible (as I type this I can see them) but I just don't notice them anymore unless I conscientiously focus on them.
Did not expect to see this on the front page of HN - I'm nearly finished my MS at Stevens and have this class planned for next fall - really looking forward to it.
Wow, 35 is apparently where the ageism begins - that's scary. It's almost like we're all professional athletes where the lifespan of ones playing career typically ends in your 30's - then maybe you go into broadcasting (or analogously management).
Look into beta-blockers - they are safe and not addictive, I take them every time I fly. They will keep you cool and collected without the negatives the come with benzo's.
