This shit needed to never start, and since it’s happening it needs to end immediately. Not a debate. Any other position is objectively dishonorable in every way.

I’ve decided I need to learn to throw with my left arm.

Interesting

One of the biggest issues I keep experiencing with AI tooling is people inability to state exactly what they want AND then they complain about it be ineffective.

It really sucks I basically wore out all the cool clothes I had 20-30 years ago and had to throw em' away since they're all popular again.

The first half of tonight's Jimmy Kimmel is up on YouTube, and what I've watched so far is good stuff.

Good morning all!

Of all the wild things happening in the world, one thing that really needs to end is when Russia sends planes anywhere they're unwelcome - i.e. into NATO airspace - the response needs to be inspired by Turkey.

Over the next few months, just after the Polyglot Programmer's Conf in Vancouver BC - I'm going to kick off a tour of talks on the west coast. The core topics will be on this surging trend of AI Tooling and how to gain and increase efficiencies.

Gosh. The world right now. Every single day something new, something idiotically insane. Two things remains the same though. Putin is still the same Huilo, and Ukrainian people are still unbelievable and incredible. Slava Ukraini. Ukraine is not for sale. Hold strong!

I'll be headed up to the Polyglot Conf on October the 11th. If you are taking the train, I'll be on Amtrak Cascades 518 departing at 6pm arriving Vancouver at 10pm. Then departing Sunday on Amtrak Cascades 519 at 4:45pm. If you're taking the train, let's say hello! 👋🏻 www.polyglotsoftware.com

Who is gonna bike around Seattle this weekend?

RFK Jr.'s #2 is stepping in as acting CDC director. You need to call your Congress people now and demand hearings until RFK is forced out. They're politically weak for another 48-72 hours, then they'll do unbelievable damage in the next month. Show me that you called and I will give you a reward 👇

Officially it’s ones American duty to now burn the US flag. Fucking horrible that this is.

Having the worst month of my life, by orders of magnitude. Would love pictures of dogs, cats, or metal bands and guitars if y’all got a few seconds.

We are living through the USA becoming largely irrelevant on the world stage for a whole swath of industries. It’s sad and impressive to watch this scale of idiotic failure.

Fuck yeah Seattle!

And half the movie will just be a recurring gag of She-Hulk trying over and over again to explain to everyone that it’s actually a trademark dispute and not a copyright dispute.

Creepy Fed looking car at South Bellevue. A shame they’re buying these beastly Cadillacs for their abductions and other shady shit these days.

100%. I always say, cut the subsidies or make the drivers pay more of the share of the costs they incur on the rest of society and we end up with far fewer drivers.

Go Concurrency Patterns(Event Loop Pattern) The Event Loop pattern efficiently processes events from multiple sources in a single-threaded environment, leveraging a central coordinator for management. It features independent event sources, buffered channels for seamless communication, and a…

Go Concurrency Patterns(Resource Pooling Pattern) The Resource Pooling pattern efficiently manages a collection of reusable resources like database connections and HTTP clients, reducing overhead and enhancing performance. It ensures optimal utilization by implementing health checks, timeout…

Go Concurrency Patterns(Singleflight Pattern) The Singleflight pattern ensures that only one instance of a function executes simultaneously for a given key, preventing duplicate operations. It consists of three components: a group for managing calls, a tracking system for active calls, and result…

Go Concurrency Patterns(MapReduce Pattern) The MapReduce pattern efficiently processes large datasets through three phases: Map, Shuffle, and Reduce. It parallelizes data processing by splitting work into manageable tasks, aggregating results, and ensuring thread safety. This implementation…

Go Concurrency Patterns(Rate Limiting Pattern) The Rate Limiting pattern regulates operation frequency to prevent system overload and ensure fair usage. It includes Fixed Rate Limiting, using time.Ticker, and Token Bucket Rate Limiting for burst requests. Both methods enhance system stability,…

Go Concurrency Patterns(Timeouts and Cancellation Pattern) The Timeouts and Cancellation pattern in Go utilizes context and channels to manage concurrent operations effectively. It prevents indefinite goroutine execution, facilitates resource cleanup, and maintains application responsiveness. Key…

Go Concurrency Patterns(Publish-Subscribe (Pub/Sub) Pattern) Overview The Publish-Subscribe (Pub/Sub) pattern decouples message producers (publishers) from consumers (subscribers). Publishers send messages to a topic or channel, and all subscribers to that topic receive the messages. This pattern…
