525 bucks per cancellation sounds like a lot to me tbh

A simplified way (and it is simplified) is that it takes your warmed up ordinary Java JIT JVM and dumps all of the "warmed up" stuff to an archive that's super quick to start. Then you skip a lot of interpretation, etc. You need to run your regular app while recording, in order to get something out of it.

Go's compiler is fast because it doesn't do as many advanced (read: computationally expensive) optimizations as other compilers do. No clue about Green Tea and how awesome it is :-).

Lower memory pressure is certainly a difficult thing to beat Go at, Java (OpenJDK) is probably never gonna get there. You get a lot of other stuff, like better peak performance, instead.

Btw, have you tried Leyden/AOT for better startup times? Curious about your experiences with that.

Switching jobs, not profession. I am currently very underpaid.

The main reason that I'm in the process of switching jobs is to get more money, in case we are fucked as a profession later on. So yeah, even if I don't necessarily believe this is the future, I am certainly making sure that if it is the future I will be more comfortable.

Good article, but it's so LLM-y, wish it wasn't. Either Bill needs to stop slopping, or he needs to get an editor.

What? Why not "One Rich Asshole Called Larry Ellison"?

Creatine breaks when cooked, so for the most part he's not gonna get too much from eating a steak or whatever. Taking 5g/day of pure creatine to satiate your stores might be too much for this particular individual. Anyway, the parent produces its own creatine as well!

The "Past Lives" podcast just had an episode on the workers of Deir El-Medina.

It was cancelled by Amazon when they purchased Wondery, IIUC. He's got "Past Lives" podcast now!

Why? Just upgrade. Make it so that your org can deal with it.

I don't see the point, just increment it every release. Don't see what errors are prone either
