But I don't see the post going into investigating this at all. Yes, most likely that is what is going on but I don't understand the point of the OP post is if the real reason of the difference in the branch predictor behavior is n

I don't think I'd call "branch prediction" as "low level esoterica". It is a basic fact about how CPUs are implemented since many decades now. I learnt these things in my university coursework. Any module on CP

I know this is not going to make me an expert in Rust. That'll probably take 10 years. But this is just the kind of thing I was looking for to get started with Rust. Thanks for sharing it here.

This is a great perspective. I am not focus-challenged... at least I don't think I am, but your comment has been a revelation. I always had this nagging feeling about myself that I don't find myself fully immersed in the problem d

There is hardly any content on this post. What are we supposed to read? Just look at the title and rant about the first thing that comes to our minds?

Yeah. The title is clickbait and the post describes what every other binary protocol used to be like before JSON took over. Honestly I can't see what the point of the post is. If you create a protocol that is optimized for bytes, you w

You can still connect to Gopher server using "proper" Gopher clients, so the parent commenter is still right that Gopher is not going away. But then Gemini too is not going away. These niche protocols will always have their niche

Why do comments like this just make a bold claim and then wander off as if the claim stands for itself? No explanation. No insight. I mean why should we just take your word for it? I'd like to be educated here why a big switch statemen

Agreed. Perhaps we can have a syntax to declare what is editorialized. We already add "(YEAR)" and "[pdf]" and "[video]". We could "[Rust]" or other keywords like that about the post missing from the
