It's improving. Baytrail devices apparently run just fine with a reasonably up-to-date distro, that definitely used to not be the case.

They're just linking to an old blogpost from 2015 there. Back then Rust used to rely on a custom memory allocator which introduced a lot of RAM overhead, this has been fixed for quite some time now. Don't get me wrong, I like that

Well, Go has excellent support for parallelism and excellent support for safety - whereas Rust actually supports parallelism with safety. Rust is also gaining lots of useful "tweaks" that will make it quite a bit easier to ge

x86 2-in-1 devices are so clearly superior to the Android and ChromeOS sort, that the latter just feel like a bad joke in comparison. I can't wait to be able to run a pure tablet device on mainline Linux and GNOME-Shell; this has beco

Using rustfmt consistently will get you basically 90% of the way towards the "Pythonic" benefits of significant whitespace. On the other side, having lexical block nesting be controlled by an explicit pair of characters { } is a

Interesting. As far as human molecular-level evidence goes, we know that there are significant traces of Middle-Eastern farmers in North Africa (including Egypt and the north-east), but we can also tell that Nilotic herders expanded out of

There's also the Apollo core used in the Vampire accelerator, that's much faster than anything else m68k, and even faster than ColdFire.

The types are definitely isomorphic , but the difference between them is not "pointless". You could have Either<IOError, Either<IOError, Result>> and want to preserve the information about which step led to an IOError

I think there's some degree of compatibility between SD-card and MMC-card standards, and that the latter are comparatively more open. Surely that could solve the open-IP issue?

Look, my point is much simpler than that. What the over-corporatized, commercialized "Pride parade" meme is doing is explicitly erasing the very real distinctions between pride and dignity/honor on the one hand, as well as

Go isn't functional because if it was, it wouldn't be Go; it'd be Haskell, ML or Ocaml. Google didn't want to make a clone of Ocaml or the like; they wanted something different. Hence, Go.

"Pride" is not in opposition to shame; it's in opposition to modesty . Honor and integrity are in opposition to shame, but there's very little that's honorable, and much that is outright insolent and deliberatel

Doesn't it depend on the browser? Does Google Chrome still do that thing where if you fire the browser up and then type www.google.com in it, it actually searches Google for that string and returns a results page, instead of just bro

My understanding is that FF Quantum works just fine even on as little as 1GB RAM. (In fact you can make it usable on as little as 512MB, but only with some swap usage.) Chrome/Chromium is a lot more RAM-hungry in my experience.

This is not much of an "economic war" strategy, TBH - it's just a very visible signal of the "hey, we hate the U.S." sort. The "reserve currency" one uses as part of world trade is immaterial, except fo

Type checking is a very small part of Rust compile cost; most of it is due to the extensive use of monomorphized code (resulting in code bloat which is not always well-controlled, to put it mildly), as well as overhead in the LLVM-dependent

While some overhead and increased debugging effort may be inevitable, it's a mistake to blame them on the use of Cgo itself; the root cause is Go's custom ABI and user-level-threading ("goroutines") model. And I really

by 0815test 7y ago
Missing technique: rewrite the performance-critical parts of your Go programs in a different language, and use Cgo to make them accessible to Go code via the standard C ABI. K.I.S.S.
