Not sure why multi threading is a victim. It really depends.

This website could work much faster if it wasn’t loading 100s of ads.

Low effort article.

Was his video presentation ever recorded? Would be interested to see what kind of tools he’s been building

Not only UK, Europe in general is stuck in this nonsense. People buy properties, tenants pay their mortgage. In 15 years the property is yours mostly at the expense of someone else plus it gained in value. After owning it for so long and selling the property you probably pay lower capital gains from that too. Unless you put all that money in the right stocks in 2010, renting just doesn’t make all that much sense in this economy.

Insane. 3k loc shell script. I admire people that can maintain things like this. For me it’s unapproachable hot mess.

Wow in the first video the man behind the camera refers to customers as clowns. Acts as if the guy he grabbed is stupid and not capable to enter a code on the web page. So weird.

I’d be very uncomfortable surfing wild spots. The dude is a legend.

A victim of its own simplicity. Such a mess with arithmetic operators being functions and everything being space separated.

Call me lazy but I couldn’t get through the wall of text to learn what on earth vectored database is. Way too much effort spent talking about binary and how ascii works and whatnot - such basics that it feels that the article is for someone with zero knowledge about computers.

It’s baffling how the fear or reluctance of introducing a change drives a series of insane design decisions to accommodate the existing codebase.
