The next part of that sentence says it is horizontally scalable, which I would say is probably per instance or thread. I doubt the problem parallelizes well.

Macros that rely on parsing and rewriting their bodies are great way to introduce bugs. The regular threading macros work well enough because they are simple. More complex rewrites don't compose with other macros.

Transducers were at least 20 years old when Clojure was first created. I have the book "Common Lisp: the language" from 1989 that describes transducers as found in Clojure. Clojure is the only language where it is baked in that pr

Having used Emacs for most of my adult life, I find it pretty amazing that basic unit conversion isn't a part of every OS out there. I use it several times every week. I don't use the gnu units package though, I stay with the func

I havent benchmarks my a750, but it works like a charm out of the box.

I got the a750 for the $200 price (which means about $235 in Sweden). The most amazing part was how well it works in Linux and how much speed you get for the money. The amd 7600 is more efficient, but definitely not as much juice for the mo

I look in envy at what Rich has achieved. I think we all have ideas of how we would like a language to be, but actually sitting down and doing it to Rich's extent is something else. As a schemer there are so many small things I would l

What kind of parent wouldn't give a kid something they had a chance of solving? I would have some "first solve the Riemann hypothesis" kind of problems on hand for when I really wanted her in the house.

An inliner should, by itself, never introduce a bug, except maybe inefficient code. An inliner together with other optimizations can definitely lead to weird behaviour if you are not intimately familiar with the C spec. Inlining can be a pr

by bjoli 3y ago
I don't know if you have ever written an inliner, but it seems simple enough until you realise you are trying to restrain a rabid dog on a leash. I wrote one a long time ago that was a part of a project that was moderately popular, but

I enjoy wine as well, but not on a daily or even weekly basis. And I do have unsweetened soy milk in my morning porridge. I heard someone say " drink water, coffee tea and wine. And milk if you are below 5". It was tongue in cheek

Those results say nothing. Were you RAM-constrained? When I am not, I have found that Firefox tries to use more memory. If I use Firefox while also having 3 VMs running and compiling stuff it stays down, whereas if I don't it easily st

I moved from Ubuntu to OpenSUSE tumbleweed recently and I must say it is lovely. The OS is still the Linux I learned when running slackware (with some modern extras that I have learned to live with) while still giving me most of the polish

I pay for Google premium, but use NewPipe since it is better than the regular app in many ways.

As a German speaker that has worked in Zürich, the parent is correct. Wikipedia has the following to say: The dialects that comprise Swiss German must not be confused with Swiss Standard German, the variety of Standard German used in Switze

That random relinking at boot is such a simple and elegant way to make things harder for an attacker. I would like to think I could have come up with it myself.

I am still waiting for people to discover concurrentML. Whenever pthreads becomes a hassle I reach for CML and it hasn't failed me yet. It is pretty similar to go's concurrency model, but with dynamic selects that doesn't suc

This realization almost got me suspended in a high school. Our goal was to make an extensible fizzbuzz(barbazzfrongetc)er and I got fascinated by the problem of making wheels. I wrote a program the generated circular lists in mit scheme tha

I just built a Linux computer with a Ryzen 9 7900 paired with an intel a750 (couldn't resist the 200 dollar price tag). I boosted the power target to about 125 watts and it runs like a charm. The GPU also just friggin worked. Not &quot

Because my work wont buy me one. The iPads are mostly used for reading music. A laptop would suck for that.

We use iPads for work. Reading music mostly, but also for a limited amount of office tasks. I have started carrying a razer huntsman mini (the silent red kind) because I can't stand typing on the touch keyboard. I also couldn't fi

I would probably reach for an RRB tree which would, apart from being very very neat, give me free undo/redo.

The L4 folks showed that it could be done with acceptable overhead. Since then I have been a microkernel fan.

Are you thinking of "the Paris exemption"? The reasoning goes like so: if it is easier for you to be a 99% vegan if you every couple of months allow yourself to eat a fancy egg and cheese omelet in a Paris restaurant. That kind of
