What's the best way to listen to this on your mobile in a way that will remember your location? SoundCloud app?
They have their own app. It’s pretty minimal but it does save your spot.

Can you not use EXPLAIN ANALYZE to identify steps that had the highest compute time? I think most databases have some form of this.
This is a great command everyone should know. We once had a long running database query that was blocking a pipeline (code was written in a week and of course became integral to operations). Ran it, 15 minutes of thinking, added a new index on an now important column, and cut the run time down from almost 30 minutes to 5 seconds.
I've never understood the notion that US based companies have it easier. They still to pay applicable tax in every country/state that their customers reside.
If anything, EU companies have it slightly easier because they can file all of their EU-based taxes using One Stop Shop.
You can do Non-Union OSS as a US company as well. I’d say the most annoying thing about the EU is their minimum transaction to start filing is very low compared to US Nexus rules.

No nvidia makes great tooling. Like as a startup if I had to pick a development tool AmD fails repeatedly while nvida tooling is like matlab level of usefulness.
Those companies have money to make ‘nice’ things which open source software doesn’t have the time to do.
For 100m you could probably make some pretty sweet clones if amd is hiring anybody to man that position.
I’m not sure if I’m in the minority here but Matlab levels of tooling is an insult. Their guides were always two or three steps before being useful. Just enough to make you think whatever they were selling would solve your problems but never enough when really building a solution.

I'm about to start the leet code grind for interviews coming up and I'll give this a shot. I found your feedback form on your website but would be nice to post it in your post here as well. Cheers.

Another product name impossible to find using google :D
On a more useful note... I kind of wonder what the target audience for this is. Big companies? Dont want to roll their own auth. Startups? Dont want to roll their own auth...
I haven’t thought about this before but is this why drug names are so semi random? I always through the fake names were trying to invoke some similar idea to their name but is it basically just for SEO type purposes?

Goodreads statistics don't add pressure. They take it off. This article assumes that reading is a chore.
If I notice that I'm falling behind it's because I'm not taking enough me time. It's so easy to get wrapped up in work, research, deadlines, grants, students, etc. Then you burn out.
Reading stats are a way to keep that at bay. And even better it's cumulative and I can't cheat. If I've been really busy this month, I have to make even more room next month to catch up. That space gets filled with afternoons where I relax, sip tea, enjoy the view, read, learn something new, get a new perspective, or just live in another world for a while.
What an awful take on life and reading.
Beautifully put. Many metrics suffer from the glass half full vs half empty, perspective! They're just numbers at the end of the day. The important part is how you let them inform you. It is so easy to have the number goes up === good mentality, but many metrics hide the subjective and or collective truth. People need to take metrics in aggregate. Not everything is a race, not every number is important and many metrics are poor indicators for what you really want to measure.
This is awesome! I would love a GeoGuessr style gameplay element and watch my design friends compete over a couple of beers!

I never understand why people consume content like this accelerated. For me, I feel like if I felt the need to rush through something then it’s not worth consuming at all.
For me it’s mostly how slow some people talk. This is especially true for some content when I can understand it at a higher speed, for example Dota replays. I feel like I’ll get more out of the time watching two in the same when I can understand 95% of the nuance. I also have ADHD so wanting it to be faster could easily be part of that.
