If the problem is slow switching between user space and kernel space, why not have a syscall that allows you to batch process multiple syscalls? It might work like this: user space allocates a buffer, fills it with syscall numbers and argum

I feel like Java has a particular problem in common with Android - they both keep getting better, but most people are stuck on some old version. The difference is that smartphones phones last at most 5 years, but a program that a business d

Nature [1] cites Graney [2] that Galileo may have confused stars for their Airy disks. Nature's phrasing makes it seem that we're not entirely sure of Galileo's exact confusion. > Graney suggested in 2008 that Galileo&#x27

I had a similar experience going through the Godot "Your first game" tutorial [1]. I have little experience with game engines, but attaching signals in GDScript seemed like it required GUI interaction, then it was difficult for me

I generally agree that this will never be as popular as Wikipedia. But when cooking, I rarely follow the recipe exactly. The existence of a standardized recipe does not imply a standardized dish.

Are you aware that the most expensive macbook pro costs $5900? A reasonable high-spec config costs $3800.

The same could be said of any 2020 SUV. Cars are dangerous.

Huh. I managed to hear about Inferno, but not remember the Limbo part. In that case, Go is Bell Labs' second attempt at Java.

I'm not sure what you mean by standard collections, but BTreeMap is in Rust's standard library.

I've heard lots of hot takes on "what Go really is". Here's mine. Go is what would have happened if Bell Labs wrote Java.

I think the bigger problem with Go is a lack of GC options. Java, on the other end of the spectrum has multiple GC algorithms (i.e. the Z garbage collector, Shenandoah, Garbage-First/G1) each with tunables (max heap size, min heap siz

The title contrasts the last paragraph. I believe the author means this to be true only in the CLR, F# specifically. > I strongly believe that using result types as a general-purpose error handling mechanism for F# applications should be

This is really interesting, and I think 32-bit pointers make sense for a significant class of problems. At the very least, having the option could be useful. But... One time in node, building a react-native project, the build failed with `

I had assumed Amazon was paying for the Amazon "app" in Ubuntu (based on gut feel) but it looks like it might have been part of a Canonical's web-y vision for the Linux desktop future [1]. Does anyone know why the Amazon app

There are some rust core team members who work at Mozilla ( https://www.rust-lang.org/governance/teams/core ) but I imagine they don't work exclusively on Rust.

I count 97 ( https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical ), but point taken. Maybe there should be an organized effort to make some sort of compatibility matrix for all the OSI licenses...

by correct_horse 7y ago
Are you saying that standard licenses cannot be checked for compatibility automatically? Or that arbitrary homebrew licenses cannot be checked automatically?

Why don't npm-like package managers have settings for licenses in applications (as opposed to libraries)? Settings like "no AGPL" or "no copyleft dependencies" would allow easy vendoring with modifications. This (di
