Not a rhetorical question: Could it be that part of the speed difference is due to the file system speed? I was shocked when I saw how much modern(ish) Windows file systems were slower than modern(ish) Linux ones.

I think it’s a seriously good idea. I believe they could create problems during the content scraping phase but considering that Internet Archive has most of the content already, I don’t see how they could legally prevent such a move if you’

It’s usually not dramatically simpler though. Many of them (C++, TypeScript, Rust…) end up growing into esoteric, “accidentally Turing-complete” monstrosities that are much harder to reason about than simple if statements and loops.

It's a tradeoff. Advanced generic programming as implemented in many other languages requires you to learn a completely new language. That new language is better suited for some use cases. Functions that take types and return types, on

For those non-native speakers confused by this usage of the word “rake” like me, it’s, apparently, the meaning under “Etymology 6” on Wiktionary: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/rake

Not saying it’s a bad idea but it’s not original. A certain George Costanza built it first.

I don't think there's any difference between extending the existing session and creating a new one in Lucia's context. In the first scenario, the attacker steals the token and uses it forever. In the second, the attacker stea

There is some connection between music and comedy (or at least joke punchlines, like many, I'm not convinced this theory explains how all comedy works): Musical structure almost always relies on establishing a pattern (repetition) and

See my reply to the sibling comment about try-with-resources. I'm not familiar with any of these mechanisms but giving access to suppressed exceptions is probably a step in the right direction.

My Java knowledge is at least 10 years out of date so I'm not familiar with try-with-resources. But from what I can gather from Google, it looks like they now provide a way to access the suppressed exceptions, which is probably a step

That's probably the best option I think. I've heard Ada does that (but don't quote me on that). If you can access the original errors from the `MultipleError` object, at least you can tell the user what exactly went wrong. I

This problem isn't solved with exceptions either. The problem is that finalizers (C++ destructors, Java's `finally` blocks, Go's `defer` etc.) shouldn't fail but `close()` can fail. Therefore, for 100% correctness, `cl

Aren't "virtual threads" built on a thread pool themselves? I suppose there would be no advantage in pooling an already pooled resource since presumably the runtime would manage pooling better than user code.

But any non-trivial BASIC program had to include a few machine language subroutines here and there for speed. And people knew how to “hand-assemble” them without even an assembler.
