   Ok, to me those abstractions/tools make little sense. I'd much rather use C on a client (int/float arrays for parallelism + cache) or Java concurrency on a server. If I need cross machine parallelism that is not something I w

   I don't chase eternal growth, I stop when I see something that is good enough: So OpenGL (ES) 3, HTTP/1.1, JSON, SMTP, DNS... But one thing that I have learned is hardware progression (C64 -> Amiga -> PC -> Raspberry 4) a

   I don't want to add/remove &, * and sometimes *& everywhere until it compiles... I don't care about memory in that way.

   Hm, ok my take on this is unexperienced; I come from Java and only learned C++ recently: I would like to have heap inspection tools which a VM would give you. Then you can remove the VM if/when you need performance and have profiled me

   Well, if you believe HTTP/2.0 is an improvement then good luck to you. For me it's HTTP/1.1 until humans run out of electricity.

   I disagree with Perfection and Premature Optimization quotes: With the fossilization of hardware we can, and inevitably will, write the last software at some point. There will be one best web-server, game-engine etc. for every domain. It&#x

   I'm dreaming of a C with only pointers that has an optional VM (with and without GC) and namespaces, string and stream included. You can cook your own (C++, WASM and Java), but if it was standardized and cross compatible. Also curious

    What do Coarrays do differently than a simple C(++) int/float array for atomicity? Is there some extra magic, maybe for architectures that have "weak" memory?

    Imagine what this guy could have done if he had gotten a C64 instead! Edit: I should really wait before saying something like that, he basically made a C64 from an Apple II!

    Does anyone know of a neural network that is written in C and GLSL and that runs on normal OpenGL?

    This would sort itself out if browser implementations followed the standard and allowed us to set the user-agent ourselves. Personally I would then set it to 1, 2 or 3 and have my server handle those cases. Right now then ONLY user-agent co

    Yes; my Time, 2 and 2 HR still work. The final smartwatch. Sleep monitor is perfect and notifications really help so I never miss anything important without disturbing anyone else.

    Sure, but yes I'm not giving Thunderbird my login. SMTP and HTTP... everything else is crap.

    Yes, but not on your existing e-mail... jezuz christ! They obviously need their own SMTP servers, I'm not giving a third party my e-mail login?

    "While I'm on the topic of concurrency I should mention my far too brief chat with Doug Lea. He commented that multi-threaded Java these days far outperforms C, due to the memory management and a garbage collector. If I recall cor

    Because you need a VM with GC on the server so it doesn't crash and can share memory between cores properly. On the client you can go lower since deploying new buggy code only affects some of the clients and not the entire server (unle

    What they are doing now is trying to separate power and data, so that they approach the die from different sides. But the memory bottleneck cannot be solved so we are stuck with the CPU performance per watt we have had since Ivy Bridge arou

    I never said anything about illegal, just front with VPN to your own physical hardware. But apparently he tried that and the VPN then shut him down, and ultimately he got DDoSed. My take is distributed if not decentralized network.

    ok, then maybe we need http://radiomesh.org after all? My point is if everyone hosts all their production from home they can't control it, you cannot DDoS all IPs at the same time.

    You don't need to spend all that much money. Just buy a Raspberry, install some HTTP server and forward port 80 to it, then use some free dynamic DNS provider: $100 + $10/year. Everyone should do this.

    I'm making a 3D multiplayer game engine that should run on the Raspberry 4: http://talk.binarytask.com/task?id=5959519327505901449 It's still ways off because I choose to make the world voxel based.

    Prices without quality means nothing. I went all in on X25-E from 2011 at 65nm with 100.000 writes per bit. Nothing will ever challenge those disks.

    I downgraded to passive low profile MSI 1030 DDR5 on all machines. It runs ALL games today and my guess is forever because of peak litography. 30W should be enough.

    True, same in both. So mono in both ears. But it's still a game changer.
