I was considering getting an RTX 5090 to run inference on some LLM models, but now I’m wondering if it’s worth paying an extra $2K for this option instead

I am happy to hear that you had a good first impression. At Netflix, we do some Linux scheduler instrumentation with eBPF and overhead matters. I was inspired to create the tool to enable the traditional performance work loop: get a baseline, tweak code, get another reading, rinse & repeat.

Contact the people you have interviewed with and ask for their feedback.

Hopefully this is a wakeup call for the Github guys and they start working on their business instead of just the product. This is a great start: http://fi.github.com/

Anyone else get random slowdowns when using Netflix on Chrome? Everytime it happens, I just switch over to Firefox and the problem disappears. Restarting Chrome does not fix the issue either.

No phoenix firewall? pft

Good job 007

Clients with limited budgets are easily sticker shocked by hosting costs. Having the option to bundle 20 days of free production hosting is a great addition to any development service. EY AppCloud is a great service and we hate to see clients opt out without giving it a try.

This is huge for Rails consulting companies. Hopefully we can now convince one of our clients to switch over to EY AppCloud from Bluehost.

Github just beat the internet

This is actually good news. The company I work at would never hire a Rails developer that uses ANY sort of IDE. Learn to use a good text editor and learn the Rails CLI.

I've used both Engine Yard Cloud and Heroku. They're both great and have their pros and cons. Both are also powered by Amazon EC2.

The only major downside with Heroku is if there is any downtime within their infrastructure, your app will also go down. This has happened a couple of times in the last 3-4 months, and it took a lot of big sites down.

Engine Yard Cloud setups are self-contained and can be locked down to whatever setup, cloud version you're happy with. If they update their cloud setup, you don't have to update your instance anymore.

It also seems like you can get more "bang for your buck" with EY once you start needing more computing/db power

"We’ll be making sure we get performance of Active Record back to at least 2.3 levels before release." Why call it a Release Candidate if you still plan on tweak more stuff?

Twitter is probably still using Rails 2.3, where you have to explicitly tell the framework to html escape every time you're outputting a string.

Rails 3 changes this by always html escaping strings.

Right, you can achieve this easily in nginx/apache. The whole idea of the rack-rewrite gem (and this post) is to move those rewrite rules into your app's code repository. This way your app can be moved between web servers without having to rewrite those rules.

Another epic MS failure. They should just rename the company "XBox"

they did it for the lolz

Awesome, the order of the DB columns was my biggest pet peeve with migrations
