To the editors: yes this title is altered from the original blog title. I thought the description in bunnie's tweet was better https://twitter.com/bunniestudios/status/324624996259475456

I also love the history-search-{forward,backward} shortcuts. I took over the Raspberry Pi SD card image generation process back when we moved to Wheezy for the 'official' images and put this shortcut in to the default install with the hopes

One of the anonymous editors has added back "Mike Pall" to the title. Thanks.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that before. My go-to point for all this stuff has always been the papers by Ertl and others http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/threaded-code.html

For me, it's only really going to get interesting when one of the Amazon competitors launches a spot market. To my (non-expert) knowledge, EC2's spot market is still the only one.

I still don't understand the policy of editors changing post titles here. The original title was "Mike Pall (LuaJIT) on programming language design". Maybe "Ramblings on languages and architectures" like the original posting is better, but

Any thoughts as to why nobody else seems to be competing with a spot market? Plenty of competitors look compelling on a per-hour basis, but if you don't require much bandwidth it's really hard to beat EC2's spot market pricing.

Yes, and also the same Samsung who do fantastic upstream Linux kernel work for their SoCs, and who employ a whole bunch of Enlightenment developers, and according to Wikipedia about 369000 other people.

There's plenty of Rust code out there, even if much of it is in the Rust compiler itself :). I suspect the problem has been that many of the changes have been of a nature that don't make automated fixes easy (or necessarily desirable).

Hopefully this isn't considered too much of a hijack, but while NetBSD on topic I'd really like to recommend taking a look at their support for "rump kernels". Basically, you can compile and use large swathes on NetBSD as a library even on

I didn't mean to imply you had said that. Sorry if my wording gave that impression.

I'm just speculating wildly like most other people here are, but you really think it wasn't a positive for them that they could reuse the JIT they've invested in and have expertise in rather than relying on LLVM.

"Why asm.js is a JavaScript subset?". Simple, because Mozilla wants the benefits of the (P)NaCl approach but don't want to have to import LLVM. asm.js allows them to 1) make use of their existing JIT compiler and 2) avoid defining a new byt

Of course not the detail that would actually make it interesting, the price.

I thought Go 1.1 featured precise GC on the heap and conservative on the stack. Is that incorrect?

I have to say that not having used Spotify at all in the past few years I'm amazed at all the feedback about their client. I liked to show off how it was significantly faster to browse and play music than iTunes on a local library. When I l

Yeah, the rust devs have said a number of times they're going to change the name due to this confusion.

You can use as much spare CPU as is available. Upon contention, the CPU is (in theory) dished out fairly. Other schemes are of course possible (like Amazon's EC2 where you get a fixed CPU allotment).

Yes, definitely looks like it: https://twitter.com/asbradbury/status/312984696852185088

No, the move to new hardware and increase in the number of available cores is separate. If you reboot right now you'll get access to more of the 'cores' on the host system (though I suspect they're really just "threads" in Intel terminology

You are totally right, and it seems non-trivial to work around this. One approach would be to whitelist an IP upon successful logon. Perhaps by modifying /etc/ssh/sshrc to invoke iptables (though this is not executed as root...). An alterna

Or just stick a few iptables rules to slow down brute-force attempts from the same IP http://www.digitalsanctuary.com/tech-blog/debian/using-iptab...

For many it is - just take a look on GitHub for the massive number of static site generators people have written for various languages.

He means it's a sensible speculation to make, not necessarily that it's a good reason for Canonical to start Mir.
