I use an extension for arrays, something like: internal static class ArrayExtensions { [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)] public static ref T RefAtUnsafe<T>(this T[] array, nint index)

For working with arrays elements without bound checks, this is the modern alternative to pointers, without object pinning for GC and "unsafe" keyword: MemoryMarshal. GetArrayDataReference<T>(T[]). This is still totally unsaf

> is this actually needed Yes, actually. I did write it multiple times naturally only to realize it was not supported yet. The pattern is very intuitive.

Inetersting, the paper explain how remineralisation works and the role of F and fluoroapatite. This reminds me the recent Veritasium video about why Teflon is so strong - F chemical bonds are the strongest. For Novamin alone, I've seen

I had an impression that Novamin creates an artificial layer as strong as natural enamel, and fills tiny holes that are responsible for high sensitivity with this material that crystallizes with water contact. Then normal Ca+F mineralisatio

I feel it on the spot that was sensitive to cold, and that was the reason I looked for something new. The paste is of room temperature, so that feeling must be not a fluke. No idea if it actually works, F+Ca used to be enough.

The picture says "enamel-mimicking" and the text says "protective coating that mimics the structure and function of natural enamel", so it looks like a protective layer, not true repair. I've been using a paste with

A little offtop, but do you know a number in usecs that io_uring can save on enterprise grade servers, with 10G NICs, for socket latency overheads vs LD_PRELOAD when hardware supports that? Let's say it's Mellanox 4 or 5. My under

It does have great tail latency. But it's not a silver bullet, but careful engineering. And you pay for the latency with spinning threads. It's the architecture that makes it to stand out. In the end, it's just the same old U

I would not recommend using Aeron on long fat pipes with a chance of packet loss for hight throughput. It was several years since I stress tested this, maybe there have been improvements. I saw some work on that in release notes after. But

I mean multicast is often disabled not only in the cloud DCs, but on-premises as well, intentionally for different reasons.

by buybackoff 1y ago
One of the greatest things about Aeron is just the fact it exists. If one goes e.g. to StackOverflow or a place with the same patronizing attitude of "experts", they will tell you no one needs UDP, even in the same DC on reliable

It's not the count if thumbnails, it's the algo that either does not work at all or works only for them. Average engagement and zero control. Paid or free, they do not care.

Just to be clear: JB have been and still are so ahead in ergonomics that I still cannot imagine going back to VS and I will renew my personal one without any doubt. For now. I just question their priorities.

I'm really concerned over the last couple of years that my two paid subscriptions (work/personal) go into AI BS development I do not need, instead of fixing pain points I have daily. It may continue for so long. I hope to see they

France has great engineering tradition. One of the left leaders is PhD in math. As I mentioned, multiple comments by members of National Assembly were quite educated. The problem is with key politicians having perverse incentives and misrep

It's water that floats anyone's boats. It's the physics+linguistics. The problems start when people try to substitute the meaning of things.

Cela s'appelle la laïcité. If you have problems with that there are so many 3rd world countries that care about medieval stuff more than development. I think laïcité is one of the coolest words/concept, France should only really e

I admit ambiguity, but I meant 180 opposite. I believe France is and has been the top at individual freedom. That perception is an important reason I'm there, so I acted on it.

What I had in mind is that I go to a local market every Sunday to buy some nice fresh food. But e.g. for the fish/meat I still only understand 1/3 or 1/2 of the names/terms. Nevertheless, I have read some lengthy tax cod

I beliebe you are talking about the first derivative. I want to believe the second is all right lately. The scariest thing in France I've seen is ~20yo voting for Mel-the-leftist-egocentric-schmuck so that they could keep doing nothing

I was experimenting recently with voiceover TTS generation. Did run Kokoro TTS locally and it's magical for how few resources it takes (runs fine in a browser), but only the default female voices (Heart/Bella) are usable, and very

I used to expose my workstation RDP directly but with a non-standard port. Then I became a "homelabber", and paranoid, and added a mix of nginx with basic auth in front of Guacamole. The UX in browser is so abysmal that I used it

It's not only a column but a daily email. Of 20 unread emails in my inbox 17 are these ones. It's too good to archive without at least skimming through. But it's a longish read and accumulates fast.

For code, lines of code are not written, but spent, and often wasted.

When I was running marathons and in good shape, I tried to reach Kipchoge's marathon pace on 100m. I did not reach it by a tiny margin. I disliked and never trained for short distanced and that was a single attempt for fun after 5K jog
