Company using JS != company don’t use other languages/tools. It’s pretty obvious that JS is only a small part of the programming/tech world.

There’s a large world outside of JavaScript…

I would argue there is money to be made out of people with zero money. Student loans are an example. Instead of zero money, they now have negative money. This is terrible ofc.

I'm really looking forward to when SIMD support is released in later versions of Java. If anyone here follows handmade hero (by Casey), he explained SIMD in some of his videos when implementing the software renderer. The speedup from regular code to SIMD is very impressive. You essentially get speedup of 2x-3x or even more for free.

The downside is it makes the code much harder to read, so I think it should be applied only in very small sections of the code.

What does Java have to do with Indian university? Java/JVM is widely popular in the enterprise world for backend services, and a ton of open source software, e.g. Cassandra, Hadoop. You need to learn more stuff for sure.

I’m not familiar with Durable Objects. When D1 does replication to read replicas, if it’s not doing synchronous replication, then it’s not strongly consistent, is that correct?

Nice project! I have been studying system design recently and read a lot about Dynamo, Cassandra, Kafka, etc. and I realized that they have much more in common than I thought. I'm mainly learning for system design interview, but I plan to do some implementation myself after getting a new job. So I might use this repo as a starting point! Thanks for the effort OP

That’s a good point. I think that’s a phase that we’ll go through during the development and it’s inevitable, but that’s just my opinion.

I'd like to add my anecdote. I have been driving my Tesla for about 2 months now, and it definitely feels safer than the ICE cars I drove before. This is mainly due to more information given by the Tesla such as the distance between my car and other objects, and it also shows the lanes around the car so it's easier for me to keep a safe distance from other cars nearby.

I also tried the 'FSD' on freeways where it can navigate on autopilot. It's really feels amazing and takes a lot of burden of driving at high speed off of me.

However, recently I was going onto the acceleration ramp, and turned on navigate on autopilot, Tesla told me to confirm a lane change to the right, I did and it somehow didn't see a car to the right of me trying to change lane to its left. That would be to same spot I would have gone to. So I had to manually intervene and take control of the wheel myself.

Manual override isn't difficult at all though, and there are multiple ways to do it. It can be done through turning the wheel manually, toggle the right stick upwards, or hit the brake. So I think if you still pay attention (maybe not as much attention as driving a non-Tesla car) when driving a Tesla, it's going to be okay.

I always wonder how people come up with the designs for various ciphers. When I took crypto class in uni, it all seems like different math/bit/word operations get randomly mashed up and repeated for several rounds. Is there a good resource for learning how to design ciphers?

Edit: typo

That sounds like the idea behind Brave and BAT. But instead of crypto, you use US dollars, which I guess might work better.

I second this. I can't use over the ear ones because I'm wearing glasses. Then I got Bose qc20 and it's been working great for me so far. I can use it for a couple of hours without any major issue.

The only minor issues is that moist starts to accumulate in the ear after a while, which I guess isn't a big deal.

Maybe bad if you look from the perspective of a single team. However, if the overall techniques and qualities of sports teams went up, it can lead to more interesting matches and innovation.

You shouldn't treat China as a single entity. The question should be whether the Chinese people can come up with the design.
