Amazing, thanks! Was this done by providing a prompt to Gemini for creating an audio overview for a senior engineer?

I'm really struggling to see who this phone is aimed for. Why would someone pay a subscription for their "own" phone that is cut off from the major app stores?

More like "you are what you think".

I migrated to raindrop.io[1] few months back and IIRC the file downloaded from Pocket did have tags. I again tried following the same steps and the CSV does have tags so I'm not sure why they save the export will not have tags?

Why would someone do this? Isn't it basically asking to get the account deactivated due to piracy concerns esp given that now Amazon has the whole trail of things you have pirated?

> Doesn't mention the hardest part ... dealing with pages whose content is mostly dynamic and generated client side (SPA's)

Given this is from 2004 I'm not surprised.

What's the relation between this tutorial and the "hands on rust" book? Overlapping content or contains bits and pieces from the book?

Good stuff; approximately how long did this project take to develop?

These need not be the only two options. App developers could charge money for updates made i.e. new versions while the old versions keep working as advertised.

Instead of "cloud storage" which might incur ongoing charges, apps can very well hook onto my GDrive/OneDrive to persist data. Also, games have done this "free updates to this app I paid" for years now.

This is a long shot but hoping someone might be able to help... Almost a decade back I stumbled across an excellent blog which had extremely long and detailed in-depth articles related to performance. Every article had a "hare/rabbit" mascot section similar to the "cool bear" section from this blog https://fasterthanli.me/articles/why-is-my-rust-build-so-slo...

Does someone else remember that blog? If yes, please share the link!

On a 64 core / 512GB RAM server-class machine with 2K tasks, around 20K threads and 12% load, `htop` lags like crazy -- pretty much unusable.

If it was easy, folks wouldn't have to ask how it could be done and everyone would that THAT good. ;)

Yup; I get a strong very "P. G. Wodehouse" vibe from his writing.

EDIT: After looking at his resume, I'm fairly confident his writing style is heavily inspired by Wodehouse (he mentions about Jeeves and Wooster!).

Are you talking about these[1]? Also, would you have a rough ballpark figure on the CPU load reduction you have seen using these?
