This is my favorite. I also really like hammock-driven development ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc )

If I'm going to a brick and mortar store it's generally out of desperation and quick need, knowing I'll be forced to buy low quality crap for bad prices.

I'd much rather have a self contained binary than 11 more MB of free space.

Yeah, when my atoms are rearranged into paperclips, I don't care if the AI that did it truly "desired" that outcome. ( https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Paperclip_maximizer )

People don't respect children as actual humans. I think that's pretty much the answer with most children related problems.

I think it's a pretty excellent layer of abstraction, as it was in the form of jails/zones. Even if we stuck to single node computing I think I think it'd be a powerful thing, but viewing a whole cluster of computers as a si

We (dragonfly users) want pulseaudio, but no one wants it enough to debug and fix it. It's a small community removing broken stuff, it would be brought back if someone fixed it.

Have you used FreeBSD? Having played with Free/Open/DragonflyBSD, I came away shocked at how non-portable most software is.

I'll be damned. This should be squirrel fact #1.

dillon's guess: <dillon> [...] I did a ton of testing. all the pre-zeroing stuff was reducing performance instead of improving it <@dillon> not sure where the crossing point was, but probably somewhere around c

I think for many people without any context that explanation isn't quite enough. jdub's comment explains it quite well though.

I'd like to note that this release contains some virtio driver fixes that mean you should be able to run DragonflyBSD safely on a VPS that allows you to upload custom ISOs (vultr seems to be the most popular). Previously there would b

Maybe, but I don't think so. I haven't figured out what the root cause is but I love high quality pens and paper, and I love mechanical keyboards. I just like high quality input devices. There's something very satifying abou

His progress on his language/compiler are also very impressive.

Yeah, I'm not here for intuitive, I'm here for power.

Sweet. This makes digitalocean much more appealing as a potential substrate for a kubernetes cluster.

Redundancy as advanced as ZFS can do would be sweet, but if you're ok with something simple, like a two disk setup, you can put a PFS on each and stream one disk to the other.

I don't see why it wouldn't be feasible for a site of any size. My only concern is running into issues with hammer. I was unable to mount my hammer partition after I filled up the drive. Not sure if it's a virtio bug or som

People who are interested in this should take a look at DragonflyBSD: https://www.dragonflybsd.org/ The things this quite claims are crucial to high performance networking, that need to be done outside of the linux kernel,

I've been burned by trusting Rubyists with metaprogramming before...

Yeah, but when you have static typing, you can't avoid well-defined interfaces.

I'm not sure what you mean. Isn't this equivalent to `go build main.go && ./main`?

The runtime in this case is compiled into the binary. With php, the runtime is all contained in the php binary that runs your scripts, in Go's case, the runtime is copied into every binary it produces.

Why hard links over symlinks?

Go doesn't pride itself on not having a runtime though. People aren't surprised that there's space taken up by the garbage collector and green thread management and such.
