Complicated static configs are out; Scripts as configs (like Neovim) are in. Both of these examples seem like they would be better fit with Lua-based configs. Scripts as configs give incredible amounts of power to the user without the progr

The kernel is forced to zero memory that is allocated with mmap. This is very expensive and it is better to use sbrk and re-use allocated memory when possible. As such, the glibc malloc uses a sliding threshold to ensure that large long-liv

Start with the Rust book. Then "Rust for Rustaceans" by John Gjengset is a fantastic resource to learn about more than just the basics. He posts hour long videos on his youtube where he explains the concepts that he mentions in hi

I use side projects as learning exercises and RISC-V assembly is something I am interested in learning. (Running an emulator is not as cool). I have no particular side projects in mind, but if this does get support, I'll probably buy o

Does this include products like Word Online? Because that product is awful. The visual bugs are annoying and the document-syncing with multiple editing people feels like 2005. As of last year, it couldn't even render a .docx file prope

I've seen this pattern before and think it is very interesting. It has the benefit that the people able to contribute get the game for free and the people who cannot contribute have to pay. On the other hand, it is very programmer-elit

While this project might focus on the “easy” definition of portable, I’ve never seen this done before. This post was both interesting and informative. I don’t think you comparing your (unlinked and unnamed) kernel to this is very constructi

It surprises me that the author didn’t mention Lua. More than just being a beautiful and simple language, it has been used for config-as-code in a variety of applications for years.
