Alas this happens in all FAANG layoffs too, some lucky people get to received one more vest but nothing close to all unvested RSUs

New comment by boguscoder in "Extremely Low Frequencies"

One of those topics you randomly step into and cant stop reading. Maybe someone could recommend a book that goes along these lines?

New comment by boguscoder in "Profiling.sampling – Statistical Profiler"

boguscoder — Tue, 12 May 2026 14:46:21 +0000

It’s not a downside perhaps but a tradeoff. Implementing internal sampling profiler is not impossible in general (though it will depend on exact python implementation) but it would impose different overhead on the target and might skew results a lot more than external one.

Even when performance is not critical it’s possible to write (or vibe?) disastrously slow code, so having profiler handy is always a plus. It might be a deciding factor between “we must rewrite it all in Rust” and “oh we added exponential complexity by accident” and save a ton of time

New comment by boguscoder in "Show HN: I made a Clojure-like language in Go, boots in 7ms"

Micro nit: it says 7ms cold start and then 6ms just few lines lower.. maybe it gets faster as you read README

“Understanding X” with 3-story high equations don’t always go hand in hand

There’s something off about gps coordinates in EXIF data

He also wrote (or at least started) midnight commander!

I thought Eric Traut was famous for his pioneering work in virtualization, TIL he has Pyright fame too !

New comment by boguscoder in "OLED, Not for Me"

boguscoder — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 06:20:45 +0000

It will probably be microLED rather than OLED in current form

New comment by boguscoder in "Ÿnsect, a French insect farming startup, has been been placed into liquidation"

boguscoder — Thu, 01 Jan 2026 06:51:02 +0000

Given that EU tech salaries are a lot more tame, it would be interesting to see how 600m were even used. Hopefully there’s some good R&D there and not some French alps retreats and Porches for founders

New comment by boguscoder in "Unity's Mono problem: C# code runs slower than it should"

boguscoder — Mon, 29 Dec 2025 00:04:48 +0000

Good article but seems strange that author benchmarked debug builds first, that’s a huge “no-no” in any perf tweaking and it’s clear that authors knows this well

New comment by boguscoder in "Leaving Intel"

boguscoder — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 07:44:36 +0000

Id expect his comp even before Intel to be way above that (he came from Netflix), perhaps levels info is not entirely correct for Intel or doesn’t apply to exceptional hires, fellow level compensation at FAANG seems to be more accurate there though

boguscoder — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 05:06:57 +0000

And how did I contradict that? My point was that he is not looking for vanity

New comment by boguscoder in "Leaving Intel"

boguscoder — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 04:55:01 +0000

Not being sarcastic here, a million a year is not a target compensation for engineer like him, 5-7 is probably where it starts and goes to the stars

boguscoder — Sat, 06 Dec 2025 04:51:57 +0000

Does he need it though? His name is literally a brand in many tech circles and very good brand at that

Sorry for nit but embassy is not a RTOS (or any OS), its a framework
