ATMs didn’t kill bank teller jobs, but the iPhone did

https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!fJgh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff030282b-ee45-446b-b58e-fd8789922d73_2048x1385.jpeg
J D Vance's claim that ATMs didn't displace bank tellers is true, but it's because ATMs were a complementary technology that increased demand for tellers to focus on relationship banking. The real reason bank teller employment declined was the rise of mobile banking, enabled by the iPhone, which made physical bank branches and tellers obsolete.

Reversing memory loss via gut-brain communication

Understanding the Go Runtime: The Scheduler

https://internals-for-interns.com/images/posts/go-scheduler-diagram.webp
The Go scheduler is a system that manages goroutines, which are lightweight threads that run concurrently, by assigning them to OS threads (Ms) and scheduling them to run on processors (Ps). The scheduler uses a three-level hierarchy (G, M, P) to manage goroutines, with Gs representing the work, Ms executing the code, and Ps providing the scheduling context, and it uses a combination of ...

Never Snooze a Future

Huh, that's confusing, because the task ought to be able to execute other futures in that case — so why are her connections stalling out without making progress? - Barbara battles buffered streams When a future is ready to make progress, but it's not getting polled, I call that "snoozing". Snoozing is to blame for a lot of hangs and deadlocks in async Rust, including the ...
