   DataFusion is a tiny project maintained by few people. I am really hopeful that it takes off though.

   Almost! :) Not sure about the IO performance of this solution. > The official pi4 compute base board routes that to a standard pcie x1 slot instead of USB 3.0 Do you have more info on this? I am not sure how it works.

   I wish there was a multi CPU RPI board with M2 option. Sort of like this one: https://www.solid-run.com/nxp-lx2160a-family/clearfog-cx-lx2...

   > As a big data engineer, Rust does not provide any advantage to me. Good luck rewritting all the big data tools from Java (Elasticsearch, Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, Neo4j, Deeplearning4j, Cassandra, Solr, Arrow, OrientDB) Yep, this is true.

   I guess then you agree that doing exactly what you just described is a good idea. You just prefer it your way vs. using what is described in the article.

   This is exactly the reason we would like to use FC on RPI (and similar devices).

    Pi 4B is actually pretty powerful and Firecracker is pretty lean. The combination of these two makes super slick to run FC microVMs on RPI4. There are a ton of possibilities opening up once you can run a fully virtualized yet also container

    Mostly these: Hugo / Tachyons / AWS S3 / Cloudfront / Compression The biggest impact is not to have JS and not to have a giant amount of HTML / CSS. That keeps the content very small. The syntax highlight is rendere

    I thought it used to be one of the most popular languages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqxeLodyyqA&ab_channel=elmus... Not sure about the source though.

    I would add Pascal to the mix. It used to rule the world of computing.

    Because of lack of modularity. Drivers became really big over time and those usually live in the kernel. It would be great to see a more detailed breakdown of the actual space usage of recent kernels.

    That, and it usually against progress.

    Have you tried Alpine? It has a Rpi version.

    I don't see X86 dying either, I think it will be dominant in the desktop/laptop segment for a long time. I am not sure why Longsoon uses Mips64 over RISC-V. Is RISC-V generally available and ready for prime times?

    That is a great question. I am not familiar with how much the production of these CPUs are dependent on ASML, TSMC etc. I think think China is kind of forced to have its own supply chain after the Obama era ban on Intel chips in Chinese sup

    Absolutely not. We need more competition because the #1 reason we got to this situation is mono culture and a single platform (x86). We need Apple to succeed of creating an alternative ARM based desktop/laptop platform and for more com
