Please forgive my tergiversation. I fully trust that you know your path and I know how annoying it is to be why-dont-they-just'd. As I said, I'm rooting for you.

I really love Oxide to an unhealthy amount (it's become a bit of a meme among my colleagues), but sometimes I do wonder whether they went about their go-to-market the right way. They really tried to do everything at once - custom serve

Yes. Linked press release says they borrowed equipment from NARA to play it.

I don't really know what kind of rebuttal you're looking for, but I will link my HN comments from when this was first posted for some thoughts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31396861#31398796 . As I said, in

Congratulations on the launch! I think it's always a great thing to have people who know what they're doing put a new design out there. Raises the bar for everyone. For example, I think the Rust folks' work on error messages

Yes, it's useful when you're ssh'd into some production system somewhere and just want to get a quick sense of some data in memory instead of going through the steps of installing a full graphics stack (which fortunately is p

This is absolutely a step in the right direction. GitHub permissions are ridiculously coarse-grained. Hopefully this will lead to more fine-grained permissions on GitHub in general.

Dynamic mutliple dispatch takes into account the dynamic type rather than the static type as you would in say-C++ style function overloading. The single dispatch equivalent is function overloading vs virtual calls.

I'm not sure I really "got distracted" by building those tools. Building the tools was kind of the point for me and the class was simply a good way to focus the tools on a concrete effort. I acknowledge that it ended up occas

vchuravy's link gives the details, but basically, there's a microarchitecture optimization in Zen that breaks determinism of the performance counters. Fortunately, there's a chicken bit that turns it off, which is what the sc

Thanks. Appreciate your thoughtful moderation as always :).

So this one is a tough one for me, because Yuri has certainly spent significant time with Julia and I think he's a very competent programmer, so his criticism is certainly to be taken seriously and I'm sad to hear he ended up with

LLVM has this as well now, though I believe this blog post predates the LLVM implementation and may have socialized the concept in LLVM circles.

Mutation is tricky, because basically the only way to do it sanely is to copy all data into the residual, but since most arrays aren't actually mutated, that's extremely wasteful. I've been hoping to address this by changing
