The main obstacle to make this happen was to trick myself into buying a Windows machine by rekindling my love for video games via a very delightful detour called the #GamePortingToolkit.
“With the increased limit of the acceptance queue, and a patched version of wrk, we can now conclude that swift is a good competitor speed-wise as a web application server.
Memory wise it blows all the other technologies away, using only 2.5% of the amount of memory that the java implementation needs, and 10% of node-js.”
@finestructure always seemed to me to be a weird benchmark where the endpoint has a heavy CPU load. Not very typical of a standard server. Some interesting discussion though. Not sure the decision to accept more connections when server is overloaded is very clever though.
My Apple watch just gave me the 10 minutes to the hour “Time to stand!” notification, which I’ll interpret as “You absolute ninja managed to make coffee and breakfast a moment ago without me noticing, here’s my badge of approval, use your powers responsibly”.
@finestructure I celebrate this event by dropping my watch arm beside my chair while I doom scroll and drink my coffee with the other arm for a minute. Apple Watch gives me a nice haptic reward for that skill too.
•This• is the compelling #LLM use case for me. If I use a translator to write messages in French I'm not forced to come up with an initial attempt and I lose the learning aspect of that.
If instead I put something into ChatGPT and it not only corrects but explains what my mistakes were that's a huge win in terms of learning from your mistakes.
(I still don't trust the thing 100% but it's also not a high stakes situation – I'm not engaging in a nuclear arms treaty after all 😅)
• I've actually had an easier time keeping up with Slack than in Slack itself
• Initially I ran clients side by side but Beeper updates just as fast and I've since stopped running most except for Discord which I use for calls
• Even so, it's great to run it in parallel to Discord, because it's easier to text chat in Beeper while in a video call
#StarCitizen’s graphics are simply stunning. And that’s just the little tutorial habitat. Which I’ve not yet managed to leave 🤣
Apparently, I need to eat and drink first, which I failed at yesterday. I’d picked up a box which I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to put down 😅
Today I managed to eat and drink. But drinking isn’t correctly advancing the tutorial so all that’s left is to admire the amazing level of detail.
Spent an hour last night in #Starfield and came away impressed with the visuals. The writing, um, doesn't quite keep up? Lowly miner touches a stone and then is offered a ship to leave the derelict moon?
Arthur at least managed to pull the sword without fainting before gaining the kingdom 😅
Let's see if this gets better after this rather weak opening! 🤞
