I can use myself as an example: I have crohn's disease and I can take doses of 50000UI for some weeks, then 4000UI daily and after a year have my Vitamin D results as low as 20ng/ml.

I think parent is saying overcommit with OS threads. 4k requests = 4k OS threads. That would lead to the problems parent is talking about.

Why wouldn't 4k virtual threads lead to the same problems?

Because they don't create 4k real threads, and can be scheduled on n=CPU Cores OS threads

4k "real" threads can also be scheduled on 4 CPU cores. What's the difference?

Real threads are extremely expensive both in terms of memory and CPU time compared to virtual threads. I think the main issue is not even that but context switching when switching threads which is also very expensive.

Virtual threads usually require significantly fewer resources to spawn and run. And, if the underlying system is implemented with them in mind, they can use fewer context switches, and possibly even fewer cache misses etc.

Don't know about wget, but curl also provides libcurl [0] so you can embed it on your software. Also curl supports a wider range of protocols, as can be seen on [0].

Sorry but, what is the mistake on the highlighted sentence? I'm not a native english speaker.

I think I am a native speaker - Australian, is that "native" English? But I digress... - and I couldn't spot the error. I was going to write the same as your comment.

Maybe the fact that english is so damn flexible with so many exceptions and patterns I just saw what was intended and rolled with it without even registering?!?

The top comments are going nuts over "it's" ?!? Really? I didn't even blink.

When the top comments talked about the error I reread the line a few times and saw zero issues with it.

The words flowing out of my brain say it is a "referential possessive" IE "it" in this case refers to the last noun referenced, and it has a singular relationship bound to the creator.

Yes it reverses the traditional concept of ownership (normally the creator owns the product) but that is the whole point - the website seemed to have a life of it's own and has been a burden/boon to the creator these past many years - so who really owns who in that relationship?

So yeah, looked up the Its vs It's and supposedly it should be its. But I honestly still understood perfectly what it was conveying so I'm fine with it either way.

The second sentence contains "it's" instead of "its".

Which is a stupid irregular rule that should be abandoned!

"it's" just means "it is"

for everything else, there's "its"

I believe that will get you out of 99% of the "it's vs its" problems you find in day to day life.

Bonus: If you're almost sure you need "it's" but not totally, just read the sentence as "...blah blah IT IS blah blah..." and if that doesn't make sense use "its" instead.

Edit: Some would gatekeep English, I don't personally care except that it seemed to give you a lot of stress and I hate to see someone upset, truly, so I thought I might help. I have a lot of trouble with grammar rules, too, so I have certain ways of thinking that I figure could help you and others. In reality, its or it's will read the same in your head and have further context as you read, so it doesn't really matter.

I understand contractions, but “its” doesn’t track with possessive nouns, which is why this is such a pervasive “error”. English has some dumb rules that we don’t need to protect.

> "it's" just means "it is"

> for everything else, there's "its"

"it's" can also mean "it has".

But to do that "shittier" would have to get a good implementation and turn on a bad implementation. Formatting might not be enough.

Howerver the main idea is very interesting.

I would presume the code before was better than the code after, so that's how you could get two sets. It might not be much of a boost, it could depend, and I'm sure there are other data augmentation techniques. Good model improvement is usually an iterative loop, trying things out to optimise an objective.

I always try to care about the reviewers. Not too large PRs so they don't LGTM it instantly. Not too small PRs so they don't have to switch contexts multiple times a day or search through many smaller PRs to get context why new PR changes specific lines.

I worked at a startup that had many internal tools for solving small problems using Retool. One frontend guy even added a "diff" component so we could compare json payloads and manually edit them.

I have to admit that it's not the best of the worlds, but for small, focused internal interfaces that call some APIs, it can serve well.

Don't know about this new tool, but talking of retool itself, I also don't see it being used for a full fledged customer facing application.

Retool and others are internal application platforms. The concept exists since the dawn on computer. SAP, IBMs of the world always had one offering like this.

You always need an internal platform may be for seeing the order status of the shipped product or some customer data etc. The consumer of the tool is a customer service agent or an internal employee etc. These tools does not have to be perfect , they have to be functional.

It has always been a huge market as it saves ton of money for an org. These days as building UI and APIs have become democratized, the market for internal applications platform have become very competitive.

Also windows 11 keeps enabling windows defender real time protection. This behavior is common on windows: do not respect user preferences.

not only W11, happened to me this week on W10 Pro after update, wasted minutes reenabling qbittorrent despite it was in exceptions already

That's why you set all of your drive roots as excluded folders

Well, I'm programming on windows for about 6 months now, comming from using Linux for the last 5 years. I have to admit I was forced as my new notebook BIOS has a wrong VBT configuration and that makes the Linux kernel to not recognize my HDMI port.

And I can acomplish any other task a regular developer can do (and I was doing) programming in Java (with sdkman), using docker containers, git on the command line, Big Data tools (flink, iceberg, haddop, etc) and even some bash scripts (nothing too fancy).

The only things that bothers me are the CRLF x LF and sometimes the windows defender making the fans go crazy, but thats is a minimum and I can do some workarounds, the same way I did with bluetooth and audio on Linux.
