Just read about JPmorgan coin. I just hope it’s not a move to do a shenanigans on the balance sheets while there is little to no moderation on crypto. It’s sad day when rug pull happens with investment money, it’s depression era when it happens to most conservative savings sector.

Just got a chance to have a conversation with LLM about DCF, NPV, IRR and such. It hit me.. there is really no need in finance degree in a way it’s currently being used in the industry. Any of the three ( stat, applied math or me ) can do a better job of deriving to a more accurate models then fin.

Can’t find a good source for game theory. Does it imply that I really need to go back to the uni classroom ?

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice

Postgre#sql is probably the most well defined peace of engineering ingenuity. I feel like I will be long gone before people will find an equal replacement. Here are some good resources:

#perplexity is the best thing that I ever touched in terms of user experience. My applauds πŸ™

The only thing is that it feels still not like a chat but rather a browser search request. Not sure if that was a goal

Also I would love a full browser experience with read mode enabled everywhere

#cyberpunk is one of the best games that I ve ever played. I will miss this universe. And will wait for the continuation

( hopefully it will be a little more filled, don’t get me wrong, the world is huge, but it can be more filled with stories. It is already... But it can always more plot )

Was trying to connect esp32 to WiFi using rust. Spent 6 hours without a result. Documentation is defiantly something lacking in embedded community. ( but it is also me what is incredible inexperienced with hardware )

Idk how I missed eBPF ( horrible name btw ). Cilium seems to be the bread winner in the family now.

My previous experience was in Consual + Envoy. And now the project is moving into the direction of Nginx Fabric.

I wish this stack would’ve been more widely communicated and thought.

Well gateway was obvious, but I never would guessed that you can configure envoy to support peer to peer communication without central data plane. Super cool hack

Gateway and Service mesh were always coupled together for me. In any job it was always a construct of the ever increasing rush. Now I got some time to slow down, it is super interesting to learn that apparently you can do either.

Networking
For me as a be swe, deep understanding of distributed networking always seems like wizardry. Both because there are fundamental principles and ever changing infrastructure solutions

I think that stat analysis should be enforced for any decision of legislative branch. I think it should be documented within the proposal. I also would love to have indexed data be attached ( with neighboring domains )

BlueSky feeds have a problem with infinite scroll - the thing that β€œforces” millions if not billions of people to be captivated by their phones.
And even then we hear about crazy signup rates here.
I wonder about stats that showcase the difference between right now and after it will be fixed

So leetcodes don’t have anything to do with software engineering per se. But algos and data structures are at the core of β€œcomputing” as it’s basically a study of automated ( scaled ) logic execution. Some companies just need computer scientists. The rest are just mindless copy cats that don’t care
