Just to double-check, Bun doesn’t support targeting the web, right?

Good point. But a compressor pre-stage is still a lot cheaper and more scalable than actually filtering through that many particles to get at each gram of CO2, no?

On-topic tangent: reminder or heads-up (depending on if you’ve already seen this) that Postgres is experimenting with thread-based instead of process-based connections (which would pretty much obviate the need for pgBouncer if it works out

I came to a different conclusion (see sibling comment to yours) in part because I don’t believe the 98% O2 solution was toxic (and it would be if the other 2% were CO2, no?). I don’t have hard evidence for that belief, but I just expect tha

Obviously the bulk of it is expelled separately - I’m just saying it could be an imperfect process.

This works (and works well enough) because the atmosphere on Mars is 95% CO2. On Earth, CO2 concentration is around 425 ppm (parts per million). On Mars, it is ~953,200 ppm! If we had the same CO2 concentration on Earth, atmospheric carbon

I’m guessing CO2 that didn’t undergo conversion? Or the non-CO2 gases (comprising ~5% of the Martian atmosphere) that made it into the system and thus weren’t affected? Or the CO byproduct that wasn’t expelled separately? Edit: thinking abo

The headline initially sounds really positive then you realize the current count is 50% of what it was just in 2011.

I have a brand new one I can sell you for less of your savings, if you're interested! I was an early backer but I tried it for about an hour before I realized the lack of F-keys and the lack of Esc were just unacceptable for me.

I personally think it was likely/almost certainly the case. That doesn’t change the fact that without sufficient actual evidence it remains “allegedly.”

what went unsaid but very heavily implied in the Jitsi announcement was that it was (allegedly) CSAM and not mere spam.

I had never come across that before - and I’m one of those guilty of spreading this origin story far and wide. Thanks for linking it - I think I have more reading to do! I suppose QWERTY could very well be incidentally terrible rather than

Nice work! How much manual SIMD are you using?

Reminder that if you have any sort of finger or wrist pain, arthritis, RSI, etc the simplest fix you can make is to switch to a better keyboard layout like Dvorak. QWERTY was made to be unergonomic by design and with full intent of making y

I mean, it all depends on who you are and what you are primarily doing. “Sane defaults” for one person could be everything another doesn’t want.

That’s a rarity. Wikipedia sometimes has IPA pronunciations and even – once in a blue moon – audio snippets that I trust far more when I don’t know the language. YouTube has content farms that produce 30s clips for “how to pronounce <any

It’s faulty app logic, assuming an io error cannot occur accessing a filesystem. They’ll also crash if you have disk issues or driver problems. The important thing is they may not even realize they’re calling into a function or routine that

How split is the community over this? I had front row seats to the gogs vs gitea split and it was clear that gitea had the upper hand when it came to momentum there. Is there a similar consensus now?

Thanks! None of it is currently particularly in vogue, but it certainly satisfies the research and chasing rabbits^W gremlins down tunnels itches.

NeoSmart Technologies. Our GUI and web stuff is C# and we’ve been migrating our low-level C and C++ code to rust (no_std rust for most of the C stuff). Some of our existing C/C++ stuff is extremely low level (think bootloaders, virtu

I personally would have been surprised to learn that such a thing existed! As a C# and rust developer who has hacked on llvm before, I have to admit that these two languages (and their underlying techs/stacks) are absolutely worlds apa

I was going to say that Microsoft appears to have chosen to address this at the library level with brilliantly optimized frozen and immutable variants of the collections, but you beat me to it. It probably would have been easier and clean

I’ve been using C# since 2001, before C# 2.0 and its generics rewrite and when J# was a promising star in Microsoft’s eye. There is no “Microsoft bullshit” surrounding the language any more. Microsoft runs it in production on Linux and the
