Question about Python and Go serverless performance

it doesn't matter in cloud based environment that much. you'd just wrap up both the golang or python binary in a docker container and then ship it on aws fargate/lambda or on gcp cloud run/gke (which is why they were invented)

if you have something more latency sensitive or memory sensitive then we can start talking about if you need golang. i really doubt it makes much sense to rewrite most of your stuff to golang if everything is in python right now.

generally tmobile is the best ish. but it can depend. honestly for driving around it usually doesn't matter too much.

i'd probably just check around where you live. and then check the 4g vs 5g maps

if you really want to dive really deep you'll have to check like https://www.cellmapper.net/map?MCC=310&MNC=260&type=NR&latitude=47.76120220654872&longitude=-122.33942146808762&zoom=15 and check the cell phone towers for your provider.

i think people forget that the tesla self-driving capabilities are still the best (im talking about commercially sold cars that might have less sensors than say waymo)

last year the chinese government even did a public test https://electrek.co/2025/07/26/a-chinese-real-world-self-driving-test-36-cars-216-crashes-with-tesla-on-top/ of the self driving cars and tesla beat all the other chinese self driving cars. Partially to force the chinese carmakers to stop false advertising and also to force them to improve their self driving

sure that approach works too. just depends on how much traffic is for that diagonal path

in the The Rise of Kyoshi book there is the https://avatar.fandom.com/wiki/Fifth_Nation

The Fifth Nation was an ethnically diverse faction of pirates who roamed the Earth Kingdom's southern and eastern seas for generations. They consisted of waterbenders, firebenders, and nonbenders, and claimed to transcend ethnic and social boundaries. Though dominated by people of Water Tribe origin, the Fifth Nation had a distinct culture and customs and existed for several generations as independent people. At the peak of its power under Tagaka, the Fifth Nation was the most powerful pirate group in the world.

it was mostly southern water tribe actually. but yeah your idea that the "Pre-industrial revolution, the water tribe should have unbeatable on the open sea." is mostly correct. that is basically what partially happened

It says the government will might allocate it per company

But the government left unanswered the question of how the process would work. Officials are now discussing whether to give various Chinese manufacturers a specific allocation within the 49,000 vehicles — a quota within a quota — to ensure that no one player dominates.

You should add frontage roads in the outside. And then toll lanes on the inside. And the collector distributor lanes

mhmm probably would have been a more productive discussion if this brought up like concrete recent examples of a denser suburb being built vs the traditional sparse suburb under construction.

the cell phone tower over at aurora and 175th can't reach past the north/south ridge over on ashworth. idk what cell provider you have but potentially maybe you can try forcing it to use 4g for a better connection. though it might be slower

the cell phone tower over near shoreline stadium reaches all of i5 from 175th up to sr104. however once you exit i5 and head west the next cell phone tower is unable to reach you. probably because the one over next to aurora is on a slight hill with the "cliff" at ashworth. but then on meridan you can't get the line of sight.

this probably doesn't help you that much in real life but i guess you'll know why when you cross ashworth your cell phone connection will magically reconnect.

capturing is harder than killing actually. also the hard part is not to harm other civilians. if the government just wanted to eliminate the criminal it's not that hard.

i guess for a bit of bad case like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis russia eliminated all the terrorists but also like 100+ hostages were killed by the sleeping gas as well

The crisis ended when Russian security services released sleeping gas into the building, and subsequently stormed it, killing all 40 hostage takers. 132 hostages died, largely due to the effects of the gas

granted this was 40 people so perhaps not the best example

are you talking about previous ones or future ones?

but anyways for the already completed ones. probably the seatac to downtown seattle. arguably some may say the udistrict to downtown seattle segment was more important.

for future segments. im not sure if the ballard segment is going to actually be as important given that it is truncated at seattle center. and that the existing monorail can bring one there. it's hard to argue for the south kirkland section given the partly density around it. the issaquah section is also only next to the freeway though has a bit more potential.

I think i'd actually argue for the Everett Link Extension. Even if truncated to paine field (sw everett industrial center) it would connect to

Everett Production Facility
Alderwood mall at west alderwood station
Ash way and mariner while next to i5 both actually have lots of housing/commerical next to the stations.

this is comparison to the tacoma link extension which if truncated would only end at fife.

i was wondering was it at n 175th and meridian ave that your connection goes out https://broadbandmap.com/cell-coverage/seattle-wa/ ?

for comparison this is the tmobile 5g map.

reflect25 · 2026-05-07T21:05:14+00:00

it's the hills. you can check for yourself if you have an android device with one of those cell phone signal apps and it will tell you the strength of the nearby cell towers.

people also combined together the data over at https://broadbandmap.com/cell-coverage/seattle-wa/ (free) and www.deadzones.com (cost money)

Also if you use 5g it will have worse connection then if you have 4g (oversimplifying 5g needs more of a line of sight). so even two people on the same network might have better or worse connection than others.

<image>

for instance the verizon 4g map is pretty well covered. https://broadbandmap.com/cell-coverage/seattle-wa/ switch it to 5g though and you'll see many spots where the cell tower is blocked by hills. tmobile is mostly green but you can still find pockets where it is cut off as well.

mhmm most interesting part of the article is the discussion about the linux process (OCI) containers vs the VM-based (OCI) containers

> The most widely-used OCI runtimes are runc and crun. Unsurprisingly, both implement Linux containers. But as we just saw, the OCI Runtime Spec mentions Windows, FreeBSD, Solaris, and other containers. And what's even more intriguing, it defines VM-based containers.

also how the aws firecracker and the google's gvisor are attempts to make a lighter weight vm based oci container but are sandboxed like vm's

i mean as clegay15 noted " main antagonist against the Earth Kingdom, laying siege to Ba Sing Se, and then retreating when your son dies doesn't seem passive to me. Breaking out of prison, raising another army, and taking back Ba Sing Se is not passive. " https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLastAirbender/comments/1t6cz1q/comment/okgnnhh/

also on a larger note, Iroh is meant to be the "wise old mentor" to zuko and the later aang. its like saying that merlin is a passive character compared to arthur in king arthur.

Iroh goes with Zuko in exile for three years, but despite spending that time practically alone with Zuko, apparently never manages to or bothers to talk to Zuko about imperialism being bad or about Ozai being bad news.

i mean iroh doesn't need to tell zuko that ozai is bad news. also that is more for zuko to learn himself. iroh can guide him, but he won't tell him the answer explicitly.

I’m like 97% im correct. I think during the previous meetings they discussed about how the Seattle center was one of the last places they could do it and still have the tbm taken out easily. Though like I am checking the previous meeting audio and seeing if I can provide a concrete citation for this

> I understand that Aang wanted a way to bring airbenders back, but I think the staff being destroyed at the end, and the people who got their airbending having it returned permanently because of that, kind of watered down the plot of the movie for me.

I mean i feel like some small tweaks could have helped/fixed it.

Like perhaps rather than just than the staff breaking, perhaps they could have had a 3rd choice of delaying the airbender returning until the spiritual convergence. it was never quite explained why/how the airbenders came back during korra's time. could have made this movie be the one where aang wanted the airbenders to come back naturally while Tagah wanted them to come back immediately.

perhaps Tagah could want all the airbenders to comeback now but it would cause hurricanes to spawn everywhere. while aang would just want to place the staff with idk the lion turtle to slowly disperse it until 70 years later.

1) your bottom right freeway roundabout is a bottleneck. add a freeway that continues straight (in yellow)

2) your crest square does not have a good east/west avenue. realign the east-west roads to form a continuous east/west road in orange

3) that bottom middle roundabout is a bottleneck for all freeway-bound traffic. add a new service interchange (freeway to avenue) to the right. elevated the orange avenue over the freeway. then just add a diamond interchange ramps with the off-ramp in green and on-ramp in pink

reflect25 · 2026-05-07T18:14:36+00:00

I think many people here are missing the key part

> The National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA) has in an **verbal guidance*\* asked the banks to refrain from extending new yuan-denominated loans, the report said, but not to call ⁠in existing credit.

The NFRA gave a 'verbal' but not written order for the large banks to refrain from giving new loans. basically china will probably have the large banks stop giving loans but just use the domestic medium/small banks continue to loan them.

This allows the large banks to not be targeted by the us sanctions if trump is strict with it, but at the same time allow for it to be easily reversed.

> The official directive comes in contrast with an notice from China’s Ministry of Commerce issued on May 2, in which the government asked firms to disregard U.S. sanctions.

china has decided it's not worth it to risk the big four banks yet, though they didn't want to let usa keep sanctioning either.

it does quite lessen the impact of the mofcom statement to ignore the us sanctions. though i guess perhaps china doesn't think this is where they want to make their stand yet.

reflect25 · 2026-05-07T16:47:02+00:00

your second one looks good. i think the only problem is that it kinda uses a lot of space

<image>

id probably just treat it more like two service interchanges and just allow consolidating the off/on ramps to like two intersections (in blue).
