<p>I don't think it's either black or white. That said, I wanted to highlight that some adults do have some neurodivergence, which, in a way, makes them a bit naive and unable to navigate the game you mention. There is no need to be condescending.</p>

<p>These companies do some marvelous engineering work, but it seems that the engineering skills get you in, while the political skills get you through performance reviews.
There should be a FAANG-like acronym that encompasses great companies that aren't toxic.</p>

<p>Yes, this looks similar to wslc announced at Microsoft Build. They should have joined forces, Apple and Microsoft. Can you imagine?</p>

(2015)"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>I do find it annoying. Let's say in JS I have `result = list.map(f)` but now `f` returns a Promise.<p>`result = await Promise.all(list.map(f))` is less pleasant to read. And before writing it, I have to think if I want the `f` function to execute concurrently across all entries of the list, or one at a time: `for (const elem of list) { await f2(elem) }`.<p>Or maybe I should use a library like `p-map` and carefully set the concurrency level. Or maybe I should create a bulk version of `f` that takes an array and is more efficient than calling `f` N times.<p>And don't get me started when there's `list.forEach(f)` and `f` becomes async, so now it executes concurrently for all elements, and the engineer who made the change didn't realize it.<p>And then there's Async Generators ...</p>

<p>My read. If the code has a comprehensive feature test suite, a performance test suite (how long a function takes), and a linter with readability guidelines (e.g. cyclomatic complexity; no code duplication), and the LLM rewrite passes all three, then it should be fine. But I think that in the real world only the first one (functional tests) exists.</p>

<p>Meta, but if I had a question like this, I'd likely have asked on Twitter or Reddit first. I'll keep in mind using HN as an alternative Q&A site.</p>

<p>I'm curious how escape analysis works with virtual threads. With the asynchronous model, an object local to a function will be migrated to the old generation heap while the external call gets executed. With virtual threads I imagine the object remains in the virtual thread "stack", therefore reducing pressure in garbage collection.</p>

<p>It would be interesting if it allowed to use the cache as ram and could boot without any sticks on the motherboard.</p>

<p>Very similar config, but I bought a second pair of ram. Running 4 sticks at 3600.
Also, the LAN port of the motherboard stopped working after a week, so I had to buy an Ethernet card</p>
