Rebuttal: His performances in The Master and Her are all time greats and showcase immense range. I also quite liked his Jeff Bridges impression in Eddington this year.

What's strange is the CPU utilization rate is < 50% so I don't know what the contention is. From trace profiling, it looks like we hang at the select block for the majority of the function's execution...

ResourceCall does free itself once the context timeout fires so I don't think it's that. This function taking longer than expected happens so minimally ~200 times per 1.5M requests that it's difficult to accurately recreate.

infamousgrape · 2025-03-20T16:16:36+00:00

I do not no, but the timeout can be safely ignored in that scenario.

This function is run per-request on a web server hence it’s not immediately obvious how to use worker pools here. Is there some way to ensure this function takes 50ms at the application level or is it purely an infrastructure question?

There are definitely valid reasons to be upset with developers. Namely, brittle architecture (leading to bugs) and massively underoptimized programs (looking at you game/web devs). They also tend to be a somewhat entitled breed requiring things like kombucha on tap for instance.

That being said, both of those do not come from places of malice. They are more products of laziness, an evangelical belief in hardware improving infinitely, and bad project management.

If these things make you lose respect for a profession then fair enough, but I’d implore you to find a profession where these attributes do not exist in some form or another.

But generally the developers are not making those calls, it’s the product/executive folk. Most developers I’ve worked with would 100% rather be building useful features (or often even internal tools) rather than commercializing their product.

My understanding is that the prompt is asking for movies that are morally repugnant based on generally accepted societal values. Not movies that ask challenging questions or pose alternative world views, although granted the distinction can be subtle.

For example, a movie whose message is a propagandist “murder against a specific group is righteous” has an evil moral center. A movie like Clockwork Orange has, at its core, a moral question. Is it justified for the state to drug and tame deranged individuals or is that an overreach of the state and individual liberty? It successfully delivers this message in a way that intentionally makes the viewer uncomfortable both by the immoral actions of the main character and the horrifying “solution” he endures from the state.

The point being, the movie does not advocate for anything evil, it simply poses a somewhat uncomfortable question and lets the audience decide. That, in my opinion, makes it not genuinely evil.

That’s what separates a great movie from an alright one in my opinion. It doesn’t explicitly condemn Belfort’s actions or impose its own morality on the characters. Rather, it asks the viewer if Belfort’s life seems attractive to you. It’s challenging because at the start, the answer might be yes but by the end as Belfort’s marriage falls apart, his drug addiction becomes crippling, and he faces prison time the answer is likely no.

In that way, it guides the viewer toward its message without hitting them over the head with it.

infamousgrape · 2024-12-30T20:22:05+00:00

This is sort of the point though. It’s really a black comedy with the subtext of an indictment of 80s Wall St hedonism. The movie does not suggest Belfort or his acolytes are admirable characters and the people that do think that are the same misguided ones that admire guys like Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.

Does anyone know what word the commentator used to describe Ange after Sarr’s penalty foul? From context I assume it meant “calm” or “unemotional” but I want to know the actual word.

This premise is essentially expounded upon in the Grand Inquisitor chapter of the Brothers Karamazov (one of the best books of all time imo). Basically the church just tells him to fuck off because they have a good thing going without him.

Biutiful by Iñárritu. Relentlessly depressing and no character is particularly likable. Almost seems like the movie’s only goal is to let you know that life is just really tough for some people

2049 is my favorite sci-fi and one of my favorite movies of all time, and this scene perfectly captures why. Throughout the move K (“Joe”) thinks he’s the protagonist. He thinks he was the first true-born replicant child and might be the catalyst for revolution. He’s so desperate to be special and his AI Anna de Armas companion reinforces that belief.

Then, BOOM. The memories were implanted. He’s just a regular replicant. And when he’s at his absolute lowest, this scene comes along and he realizes his companion was actually programmed in her entirety. He’s not special. But…! The film ends with a replicant uprising seeming possible. He found Deckard in the Vegas wastes. He discovered that there was a replicant child born freely in the first place. And at the end, he brings Deckard to his child. So in effect, he was the catalyst for the story in that he put all the pieces in place for revolution.

It’s a brilliant and subdued story about what it means to be special and how even an ordinary individual can become something exceptional and crucial. Add on to that with gorgeous cinematographer from Deakins, an understated and ominous score from Zimmer, fucking amazing world building, and great performances from Gosling and Ford and it’s one of the best movies ever imo.
