Not earth shattering benchmark, kind of confirms what we can expect on the concurrency and REST side of things: Rust, Go > .NET > JVM

Another impressive feat from the people behind the Cosmopolitan project. A self contained and portable binary which run your Django application on almost any platform? Apparently doable. The versions used for the dependencies are a bit old but that's clearly something which will be solved soon.

In praise of the little ideas and the small achievements. They are often overlooked but definitely needed.

That's an interesting perspective. Rust definitely gets in the way of iterating quickly indeed which might be a problem to test ideas. Introducing it gradually later is thus a better path. That being said it doesn't always have a great story for mixing with other languages, there are a few tools to help, but nothing I've seen really used in the wild so far (this will probably come though).

perf now available also to Python programs. This definitely can be useful for proper profiling.

Indeed, quite a lot of spinners and progress bars are not tied to anything meaningful. This definitely creates uncertainty from the user perspective.

Interesting and surprising limitation. This makes a lot of sense when you think about the set of images used for training though. Also says something about our own art history.

Alright, that's an impressive set of tools they created to build their games. Lots of efforts went into this, very inspiring.

If you didn't have an adblocker yet (who doesn't really?) it's time to really think about it. When even the FBI starts to advocate for ad blockers it's a sign of how bad the online ad market has become.
