I feel like this becomes less clear if you're talking about "one-time" events. "Our website loads 2x faster now" doesn't mean that they are sending more data per second, and the user won't be doing more we

Id say that it is a lot more likely for the in-house, at least half a decade old library to be correct and performant than 3000 lines of an LLMs mediocre regurgitation of that code.

I've been using kakoune for the past 2-3 years and it has been great. My main reason for switching from vim was the adherence to the Unix philosophy, but the editing model has been great. Seeing your selections change after each comman

I imagine just ask would be enough for most usecases: awk '{ freq[$0] += 1 } END { for (n in freq ){ print freq[n] " " n } }' < file.txt

bzip3 is not made by the same author as bzip2, that's why there is a licence disparity.

The article touches upon this: > Unlike prose, where you usually read it linearly, with code you bounce around based on what connected elements you are exploring. The moment you are jumping around a lot while reading, being able to under

That would depend on the application. The convenience isn't just a smaller binary, but also being independent of the distros glibc version (being on an LTS distro and not updating often, I have experienced incompatible glibc versions o

"at the time of execution" could mean that your program never runs an interpreter and instead compiles the input code before running any of it, basically like the --run option in the tiny c compiler

Only getting the code right "roughly" is not enough in complex code. An example would be an (multi-symbol) arithmetic coder. They all look very similar at a first glance, but choices on the order of operations influence performanc

I thought the difference was that a JIT is used alongside an interpreter? It wouldn't need to do optimization, just compile while interpreting?

Because the standard library of a programming language has a lot more eyes on it than one of the many small dependencies does.

The biggest changes across generations in the last ~5 years were the introduction of specialized instructions for wider vectors (AVX512/AVX2, and even then you need specialized workloads to use them), [...] AVX2 is actually 13 years (!

You can just not use an LSP? My understanding is that LSPs aren't made to be the fastest (code completion|syntax highlighter|code analysis), but easily integrated into all sorts of IDEs/text editors.

I personally didn't notice any strong LLM tells in the writing. In fact, I enjoyed the writing style quite a bit. Especially the following sentence near the beginning of the article: > At that point I had neither a server nor a pho

I thought C++ was designed to fit all sorts of applications. There is many GUI libraries for C++ for example, and the language has all the capabilities to add abstractions for making these sorts of libraries easy to work with. I think you c

By cheating you gain a certificate that says you can do things which you cannot. The difference between cheating in university and forging a degree is the time it takes. When going to a doctor, you wouldn't want them to have cheated fo
