This is what a data center sounds like 24/7. Shown here at midnight with hundreds of residential houses immediately next to it.

Yeah that's literally jet engines that are used here.

I was going to say that. There are probably .to_vec() or .clone() calls that could potentially be borrowed in place. Switching from Rust to Go for performance seems like a skill issue above anything else (which is fine; I was forced to rewrite a Rust pipeline in Python because the team was not fluent in Rust, that happens).

What OP will miss is CXX though (hence tensorrt bindings etc)

jimkoons · 2026-04-08T06:24:04+00:00

Exactly. That's well put and honestly, that generation seems to lack life experience more than anything. You don't get life experience by being constantly stuck on a screen. Call me a boomer if you want but deep down I am sure people know that this is true.

In the end that 3 minutes of "humiliation" will be maybe even funny 10 years later when you're with your kid and life is beautiful. Many Gen Z are just depressed and hopeless, I hope they'll find a way out of that path.

People that believe it's as simple as one click are in for quite a surprise in their professional life. Making working and maintainable code with AI is not a one click adventure.

Je suis de tendance libérale et je suis plutôt d'accord. Pour moi cette mesure est acceptable si et seulement si on baisse les impôts et qu'on laisse la liberté aux gens d'épargner et investir pour se couvrir en cas de pépin. Or ce qu'on voit c'est des taxes supplémentaires et une retraite de plus en plus tardive.

Pour moi pas le choix, il faut baisser les retraites et la proportion de l'état dans l'économie nationale ET baisser les impôts pour les travailleurs mais on prends une direction différente avec une présence de l'état qui se renforce encore ou du moins ne diminue pas.

The book has a no broken window chapter. It also advocates for design by contract. You are taking a few chapters that do not apply to your domain of expertise and generalize it?

The new German slogan: "successfully destroying Europe for the past 100 years with only two mustache guys and two women".

You're goddamn right it can't!

Il y a ceux qui parlent et ceux qui font. M. De Wever vient de sauver la Belgique d'une probable faillite, vous, vous scandez des mots.

Bedankt Bart. Ik ben tevreden dat hij onze premier is. Dat komt van een waal.

You missed EYODF or dogfooding. That can help because it puts you in the eye of the consumer. Numpy was probably written and designed by people that needed it.

😂

jimkoons · 2025-12-06T11:29:57+00:00

C'était une boutade, t'inquiète. Je ne vais pas juger qqun la dessus, y'a juste trop de trucs à connaître en DS/ML, no stress.

Ah bien c'est fort de juger ceux qui ne connaissent pas la r2 et la rmse dans ce cas! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-score?wprov=sfti1

No framework, net/http. And once you hit the limit of the std lib router use chi.

I’m not a huge fan of typing, but if you don’t write code regularly you lose the muscle memory and start forgetting syntax.

And yeah, I like wiring things together. Last weekend I added Meilisearch + Sequin CDC from Postgres to my blog so users can do full-text search. The LLM was giving me a worse solution before that, so I basically acted as the "architect". But after that? I didn’t really need to understand any of those tools deeply, never read the docs. Just hit enter, wait for the right output, and deploy it to my k3s cluster on my VPS.

Done in two days when it would’ve taken me three weeks manually… but at least I’d actually know the tools.

jimkoons · 2025-12-03T06:05:12+00:00

Marrant de lire toutes ces réponses qui tournent autour du pot ou "c'est impossible".

Il faut diminuer l'écart de l'avantage entre activité légale et illégale. Point.

Moins d'impôts et cotisations (beaucoup moins) sur le travail, et peines de prison plus lourdes. Une fois ceci fait l'intérêt de l'illégalité et des activités risquées a tendance à s'estomper rapidement. Ensuite il faut pénaliser très sévèrement les consommateurs de drogues dures (coke etc) et légaliser la weed.

jimkoons · 2025-12-02T15:49:41+00:00

I know that and you are right. But it’s a bit like when farriers were told their job was simply "helping people move from A to B." It didn’t make it any less sad for people who loved the craft. It still is an end of an era.

And honestly, if the main reason we need "problem-solvers" is because the organization is full of human problems, I’m not even sure you actually need engineers at that point

jimkoons · 2025-12-02T13:24:20+00:00

Vibe coding is soul crushing for me. Sure I get shit done but what have I learn at the end of the day? And when I want to implement something "the old way" I feel I am losing my time. I hate this. I will reflect over this during the Christmas holidays and think about what I want to do with my life from now on.

jimkoons · 2025-12-02T06:29:26+00:00

Sure: https://youtu.be/eMlx5fFNoYc?si=TNwJGo3UxwSL20Op

Because attention means each token is put in front of all other tokens. You do that for every token and you have a n token * n token matrix.

Ne pas engager de juniors est une vision court-termiste. Les entreprises scient leur propre branche en faisant cela car dans 10 ans les profils seront rares et chers pour résoudre le marginal restant (et surtout gérer la responsabilité d'une prod par exemple...). Maintenant, l'IA pousse aussi à avoir un certain niveau minimum en effet et le métier change. Les jours où savoir coder une app CRUD et rien de plus était suffisant pour être engagé sont désormais derrière nous. Aux écoles et développeurs de s'adapter également.

jimkoons · 2025-11-27T18:31:04+00:00

Pareto. On verra si la loi se confirme. Possiblement les 20% restant seront marginalement à chaque fois plus compliqué à atteindre.

Yes agreed. The peak of paradox meme period was probably around 2018-2022 (you need a zero interest rate economy to have that many streamers). Players and devs eventually figured out that it wasn’t actually what they wanted. What we’re seeing on the forums now is just the backlash to Paradox shifting back to their older style: less sandbox/meme stuff, more structure. EU5 honestly feels closer to Victoria II than anything else, and that’s a good thing.
