I’m a bootstrapped founder but hard disagree with this take.
Surely it can’t be the founder taking home a healthy salary from day 1 despite the company being far away from any revenue at all that is taking the risk in your book?
My daily crontab at just after midnight UTC did not run yesterday. I wrote it off as a server hiccup, but now you got me thinking it might be related to leap years…
> It says it is free but where is the github page for it?
Not sure if serious, but you do realise that free is not at all about having a GitHub page?
Maxim has been working on nginx for years and just forked the project so that he can continue working on it. The license remains the same as the original nginx project and you can already download its sources here: https://freenginx.org/en/download.html
I never even knew this was an option, despite relying on them for well over 10 years now for well over half of my business' revenue (with 0 issues whatsoever, fwiw). Just enabled it.
Sounds like any static site generator supporting Markdown will do.
- Jekyll: the OG, but requires a ruby toolchain.
- Hugo: compiles to a single static binary, but you may have to get used to its (Go text/html) templating.
- Zola: also compiles to a single static binary, but uses Jinja-like templating.
- Gozer [^1]: my own, like Hugo, but 1000x simpler. I rolled my own because I wanted something that didn't move under me in the next 10 years and just because it was fun and easy enough to build.
This is inspiring to me, as I'm in a similar boat and while I'm pretty okay at my job in practical terms, I often feel as if I lack a certain mathematical foundation. May I ask how old you are, whether you are enrolled in a full-time course (w/ much younger other students, I suppose?) and how that has been for you?
On most Linux distributions and when the file is mmap'd, if you run it a second time the data will still be in RAM and not have to be read from disk. This gets the runtime down to 1.1s for this AMD 2950x (https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc/discussions/46#discuss...).
You and me both. I'm also a polygot but I originally started on interpreted languages like PHP and Python. I then learned some C, which was quite frustrating before I learned how to reason about memory ownership and hold myself to some idioms. Oh and Valgrind.
I then rewrote a bunch of projects in Rust and while it lead to correct and working software, it didn't spark the joy that C did for me. I don't exactly know why and at times I almost feel ashamed to mention this. I do hope there's a future where there's a version of C with some more substantial changes/improvements though, perhaps taking a lesson or two from Rust or Zig (eg string type w/ length).
I tried the linear search by station name in my first naive approach. Using a hashmap was at least 2-3x as fast with the ~415 distinct keys in the 1BRC dataset.
Very fun challenge that nerd sniped me right away. Had to do a C version in standard C99 with POSIX threads. It[1] clocks in at just under 4 seconds on my AMD Ryzen 4800U Laptop CPU.
Should run about 10-20% faster than that on the mentioned Hetzner hardware.
- Since we only do one decimal of floating point precision it uses integer math right from the get-go.
- FNV1-a hash with linear probing and a load factor well under 0.5.
- Data file is mmap’d into memory.
- Data is processed in 8 totally separate chunks (no concurrent data structures) and then those aggregations are in turn aggregated when all threads have finished.
Not this again. This is a number that has been doing the rounds but can be dismissed as false after less than 30 seconds of using Google and a tiny bit of brainpower.
That I had to read this on Hacker News saddens me.
It’s at least 33%, not 3%. Also it’s the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere that matters, not so much the proportion. Pretty much all CO2 above 1850 baseline levels are the direct result of human-caused emissions.
As a fun experiment I grabbed a list of the top 10.000 most popular domains on the internet (according to their Alexa rank) and checked each of them for compression on their HTML responses. Some of them are leaving quite substantial reductions in size on the table by not applying any compression at all.
Some notable entries that caught my eye are the websites of the US Department of State, multiple country specific branches of Lidl, the Python programming language, Klarna and Zapier.
