Google's new AI search results are having quite the week. Here's a thread with some of my favorite answers:

So... everyone thought OpenAI was in trouble with others catching up. But now, GPT-4o is out, it's free, and it's one of the most magical things I've ever seen. 15 game-changing examples that'll blow your mind:

Can somebody please fucking explain to me what dumbass developer defined the phrase “synchronous operations” to mean “one after the other” when the word “synchronous” literally means “happening at the same time”

"a + b", this one line of Python code executes thousands of lines of C behind the scenes. My latest article explains what goes on in the CPython runtime to execute this seemingly simple operation. You will learn about: - Dynamic dispatch implementation in CPython - What is the abstract object interface in CPython and its role in dynamic dispatch - What is the PyTypeObject struct and its role in the CPython runtime - How the various types in CPython implement operators and make them available to the runtime for dynamic dispatch to work. - And, look inside the implementation of the float type to understand this more concretely. The article includes 13 annotated code listings from CPython with all the explanations. Check it out: open.techwriters.info/codeconfession…

The next article in the CPython internals series is ready (pending edits). It stands at 1800 words & 13 annotated code listings. All that just to explain, what goes on when you run `a + b` in Python. Coming soon to the subscribers of Confessions of a code Addict (link in bio).

Love the new Move The Needle feature we got into @basecamp. Every project has one master dial that's moved manually to radiate information about the state of completion. Human assessment, aggregated, async. That's how you get a meetings-minimal culture.

Shopify uses a 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵, where they keep all their code in one modular codebase. Monolithic architecture is the easiest one to understand and implement. Since monolithic design is simple to build and enables teams to move swiftly in the beginning, it can carry an application far to get their product in front of customers earlier. There are many benefits to centralizing your application deployment and codebase maintenance. All functionality will be accessible in one folder; you only need to manage one repository. Additionally, it implies that one test and deployment pipeline needs to be maintained, which might save much work. The ability to call into different components rather than relying on web service APIs is among the most alluring 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 over several distinct services. Shopify implemented one version of the modular monolith with 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝘂𝗯𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀. They organize a code base around real-world concepts (like orders, shipping, inventory, and billing), which makes it easier to label code and people who understand it. Each component is a mini Rails app (a module) that isolates business domains from one another. Each component claims sole ownership of the data associated with and defines a straightforward, dedicated interface with domain boundaries communicated through a public API.

Holy forking shirtballs YARP is so cool! A reverse proxy as a configurable package on top of Kestrel? Sign me up! Maybe I live under a rock, but I feel like this deserves a ton more attention. github.com/microsoft/reve… #dotnet

In 1999, a chap called Chris Sawyer wrote a wild game using nothing but Assembly language. The game, Rollercoaster Tycoon was super addictive, but 99% of the code in assembly? That’s pretty hardcore right?
