@chestozo Actually, it has justification, he explained it in the interview: in order to find compromise and have a dialogue, you have to consider that the counterpart is sane.

[Dmitry Komanov @dkomanov]

It's a good conversation.

I hope Lex heard and listened Zelensky on topic of Putin and who he is. Because over and over Lex is hopeful (naive) of Putin's nature. And it's always painful to hear such hopes from a very intelligent person.

Here's my conversation with Volodymyr Zelenskyy (@ZelenskyyUa) on YouTube:

There you'll be able to switch between these options:
- Audio: English, Ukrainian, Russian, Original (Mixed)
- Subtitles: English, Ukrainian, Russian

@nukemberg @DanShappir Nope, I don't get your point.

Tell me, which format is the best.

[Dmitry Komanov @dkomanov]

@nukemberg @DanShappir Also, I've heard from my friends, that simdjson in rust is much faster than protobuf.

[Dmitry Komanov @dkomanov]

@nukemberg @DanShappir Sadly, I didn't make my own benchmark. But there is jsoniter-scala library -- https://t.co/wmENdK9VqM -- according to its benchmarks it's faster than jackson 4 times.

And according my old benchmarks, jackson is 3 times slower than protobuf -- https://t.co/dm13SM2BQZ.

[Dmitry Komanov @dkomanov]

@nukemberg @DanShappir But at the same time, JSON parsing is optimized so much, that it may beat protobuf.

But "Once Upon A Time in Northern Ireland" documentary actually gives hope. But it's a very tough hope.

[Dmitry Komanov @dkomanov]

Yuval Noah Harari, as always, makes sense of the senseless and unthinkable... Tough questions, tough dilemmas that Israel is facing now...

However... at the end of the episode, one of the interviewers suggested a documentary 👇

"Peace is tough" is one of the slogans in one of the episodes of this documentary. And it's indeed. This toughness is all over the world. And some people argue that world is collapsing...

Imagine in 2005 ISIS took over Cuba, killing thousands of Cubans. In response to ISIS attacks and repeated threats on Americans, US imposed a blockade on Cuba to protect itself. In the 18 years since, ISIS repeatedly fires rockets at the US.
Now let's skip to 2023

@nukemberg Similarly, people arguing about monorepo - look, no one does it in open source, so why should we?

Open source is amazing, but the cost and velocity of it is significantly lower (order(s) of magnitude)

[Dmitry Komanov @dkomanov]

Wow. Just wow https://t.co/MIMBy8o4Jz

When I read it, I imagine Bill Burr the opposite of his bit about how to reduce population.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Great meeting with the President of Hungary about the population collapse crisis!

[Dmitry Komanov @dkomanov]

About blocking feature, engineering explanation...

- Why do we spend so much money on this cluster?
- You know, Elon, 40% of it takes to filter out blocked accounts...
... A few moments later: we are going to remove an ability to block!

[Dmitry Komanov @dkomanov]

@nukemberg Not stuck. Facing challenges :)

[Dmitry Komanov @dkomanov]

@nukemberg @heinrichhartman Incorrect comparison. Reference is a comment in the code. Having 10 function calls instead of 20 LOC is awful.

[Dmitry Komanov @dkomanov]

Apparently, I am less of a gamer and more of an programmer. I never tried to enter gamedev world even, but I'm fascinated by it a lot.

[Dmitry Komanov @dkomanov]

Finished podcast with Todd Howard https://t.co/25TkYxdCzb. Inadvertently, I compare it to John Carmack's episode https://t.co/gYYGNXSEMR.

And I think, those are basically designer vs engineer podcasts. When I was little, I played games and I wanted to create games (ofc) ...
