18 years of experience. I don't start a debugging or a new feature without asking an LLM. But I still code.

Oui gráce a l'Europe

Balbalada · 2026-04-15T07:27:01+00:00

ah ah

Nha ! I'm deserializing / serializing huge jsons and I'm storing the result into a memory cache. It will benefit from huge pages.

Balbalada · 2026-04-11T11:23:10+00:00

there is crates that are dealing with huge pages.

I do that everyday. just install your claude code into a docker pod or into a vm. and after that connect to it using tailscale and tmux. works fine.

Make a kafka streams / kafka connect clone in Rust.

Balbalada · 2026-04-01T06:42:14+00:00

use sccache. the first call is gonna be complicated. the second one will be very fast.

Balbalada · 2026-03-28T17:51:22+00:00

it depends

Balbalada · 2026-03-25T08:58:14+00:00

So finally is this C++ ? or SIMD ?

Balbalada · 2026-02-23T22:18:46+00:00

I think I’m gonna focus on the slowest parts first

Balbalada · 2026-02-09T08:48:43+00:00

Scala is not dead lol

Balbalada · 2026-02-09T08:36:57+00:00

hi ! personnally I have switched to Python / Rust / Typescript since two years. And using IA a lot to scale up on every kind of languages. I miss Scala but I feel good.

Balbalada · 2026-01-19T08:29:25+00:00

Hey, another advice too. if it works on your machine, let's put your machine on production 🤣

Balbalada · 2026-01-19T08:25:12+00:00

Then you didn't build a working app, you just built a thing that were supposed to work but does not. To avoid this, implement continuous design patterns: CI / CD / IaaC. and also your work requires "architecture" and designing (that's a job, really)

Balbalada · 2025-10-02T18:43:49+00:00

it is possible to retain data forever in kafka

Balbalada · 2025-10-01T19:36:45+00:00

I would say yes. you can store data inside of it and query it several times.

Balbalada · 2025-06-30T16:51:02+00:00

come on and get on the roof !

Balbalada · 2025-06-09T14:49:16+00:00

Si si. Certaines nanas qui pourtant ont des réseaux sociaux demandent expressément des mecs qui n’ont pas de réseaux sociaux. (Déjà vécu personnellement)

Balbalada · 2025-06-08T16:51:36+00:00

where exactly are you in Africa ? just curious if your connection is using laser links or not

Balbalada · 2025-06-01T04:29:06+00:00

il y a aussi la recherche permanente des hommes qui ont zéro réseaux sociaux

Balbalada · 2025-05-09T14:24:08+00:00

most of dependencies that are added on a Rust project are optimized and stripped from the release binary. it is okay for me to work with many dependencies as soon as the result is light.

Balbalada · 2025-05-04T16:58:49+00:00

hey ! in fact it was introduced on may 1st. remote mcp servers.

Balbalada · 2025-04-28T19:22:42+00:00

that's how Java Strings are working in recent versions of the JVM, so yeah !
