You can always do a multi-call binary (busybox-style) so that you only get one copy of the stdlib. Coupled with build-std (and other min-size things), it should bring rust code size to a manageable level.

I haven't been following, would you have a link to this proposal ? A quick search of pollster in rust-lang/rust and rust-lang/rfcs does not bring any interesting result.

I think it only applies to the focus area, otherwise it's at 55.7% (which is already quite impressive!).

They are packages by distros, but not considered a tier 1 platform by Mozilla. I didn't see those builds on your link, only android/windows/osx aarch64 builds, what am I missing ?

I have been using Mozilla builds of Firefox on Linux for years, and they tend to just be higher quality. They talk about the performance engineering that goes in the build process briefly, but IMHO stability is also improved. It's also

It's interesting that they did not keep this a paid product, and use that as a lever: 1. to either get more customers 2. or to get Nintendo to remove the terms forbidding the open source release of software built on their platform I am

The comment about supporting podcasts in the Readme is a bit weird, since many podcasts (and all the ones I listen to) are available with an open RSS stream. Sure, Spotify-exclusives won't be available, but it does not say that.

Did you read the article about how this is a bug in the open source reference implementation ? You're going to need firmware anyway, otherwise your OS implements the firmware responsibilities, and you then GOTO 1, and have other proble

And at scale, AWS does not pay the HE price. So add another factor 3 to 10 there.

It saddens me deeply, but in some way this was inevitable. Thank you to all contributors. And thanks to anyone who wishes to continue helping a fork.

I tend to agree for Audio; this is why I did write the Launch button. For the Gamepad API, if the browser does not want to expose model information, it should either: - expose the buttons as sent by the OS, and let the OS to the mappings -

As I recently started playing with WASM as well for my emulator, it's fun to see the pitfalls I run into are the same for everyone, like the AudioContext being forbidden without user interaction, forcing me to add a "Start" b

And they often do that wrongly. Try typing "weather" in Firefox for Android vs Chrome for Android; a vastly inferior version is shown on Firefox. Changing the UA or using desktop mode makes the page work flawlessly.

I only looked at the C version, and it didn't use a generic over the allocation size, although yes, technically it was fixed at compile time. I saw the update to the PR, but I still prefer my collect()-based version :-)

I dismiss it because I haven't seen substantiated remarks; i.e proof that anyone actually looked at the source of coreutils to do the the reimplementation.

by Aissen 3y ago
Doesn't your PR monomorphize the function every time N is changed ? I realize it's simpler since it keeps the structure, simplifies allocation of arrays, and elides bound check. But it explodes generated code size and matrix size

Maybe they got tired of people making unsubstantiated remarks that were never made for bsdutils, busybox or toybox ? Just look at the level of the current HN discussion.

You can believe it or not, but please stop spreading FUD disguised as a question. If you have proofs, you can post them, and then interested people can try to dissect them.

Think of it like a blackbox reimplementation, not porting existing code to another language: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/blob/244693f50e224abf726...

Very interesting, IMHO one of Mastodon's biggest advantage is not the reverse-order timeline, but the ability to build your own timeline view, pick your own algorithms. There are already a few frontend-based solutions. This one is anot
