This specific issue makes the "PHP way" (just to mention a notable example) of having an interpreter created to serve a page and then destroyed at the end, much more convenient, even if more resource intensive. Assuming the proble

In in Italy I received 3 shots in total, in three different vaccination units. We have among the highest vaccination rates in Europe so at some points a lot of people showed up. Well... the waiting room never where the problem because you n

> 65 yo population in Italy is 22.8 vs UK 18.4. Most people dying are the old ones so you'll see more death in countries with older population, in general. Moreover the way we count covid victims in Italy is to count every death eve

Well, given I share the same "race" of most UK people (I'm a while Italian), I guess it's not racism. Just the UK government didn't handle it very well in my opinion. For instance now they want a new lockdown after

In Italy the 15 wait is done in an additional room where people are just "asked" to stay at the end of the process. Then they can go away before the wait, if the want. I can't see how a wait at the end of the process could re

There is still the misconception that if you just want to cache, you don't need data types. One of the biggest Redis use cases, Twitter (I didn't check if they still use it in the last two years, I guess so, and anyway used it for

Strange exercise because Rust and the 6502 original programming mood are totally different: a word of cleverness and the most obscure side effects in order to squeeze the last clock cycle. But everything is "hack value", I will re

You can read "your own" also as "you own team/group/...", and you as a group can have standards and quality checks on how to write good code. Especially the initial architecture of every new big system should b

In the Spectrum maybe it was JetPack. That I started using when I was about 8 yo. I came from a TI99/4A btw. Then at about 11 I switched from ZX Spectrum to an MS-DOS computer.

There are signs of memorization of images (or text describing them) from the actual movies. Like in Wall-E and Matrix, you can see, more or less, the robot shape and the green-digits wall in Matrix.

My claim about the Lua C API was that, being a stack-based API, it is hard to use. It's a tradeoff between simplicity and usability from C. Please show me the code I wrote that shows how my ideas about lack of usability of the Lua C in

I believe that what happened in the latest 20 years actually shows that multiplexing, for very short-lived requests, won: multithreading is, very often, only used at this point only to scale the single multiplexed approach to multiple cores

In Italy no need for insurance, it's just the government that gives it you for free. But the problem is, I believe, different: it's the raw cost of the medication. Here in Europe even if the patient has to buy it, the cost is frac

Google is not Requesting For Comments at all. It is imposing its things. Despite the fancy number, this is not an RFC at all, in the ancient sense of the acronym, nor it has the same design principles of simplicity and orthogonality.
