I went down a similar path, but only saw about a 770x speedup. Mine went from 36 minutes to 2.8 seconds. I was working in Idris. I knew better, but figured the data was small enough that I could just do a linear scan for the next node inste

Thanks. I occasionally read their blog back in the day, but didn't know they were still producing stuff.

Preemptive multitasking, with no memory protection. I think they leveraged this to do stuff like update the appearance of buttons on click in the higher priority event process (and then send an event), to give a more responsive feel to the

It looks like they store the extended attributes in the __MACOSX tree too. And everything you download from the web has extended attributes describing the original URL and page that linked to it. (With chrome/safari, I haven't che

I can't answer this well and don't know of any resources, but I have seen it before in the parser for sixten: https://github.com/ollef/sixten/blob/60d46eee20abd62599badea85774a9365c81af45/s

That was my first and my favorite so far. I did it in Haskell, barely knowing Haskell, which made things a bit interesting. I ended up learning/using STArray for the memory.

I clicked through expecting them to mention CMYK jpegs, which I remember causing a few compatibility issues back in the day.

vscode + typescript seems to only surface errors in the current file. If a change breaks something in another file it isn't apparent (in my experience at least). I added tsc to a pre-commit hook to catch these issues.

At the other end of the spectrum, my carbon steel skillet is a little pricey, but it's pretty and made by a guy with a hammer. https://bluskilletironware.com/shop/7-fry-pan-cgk32-sjals-2nhb6-zl73y-68grf

There can be security issues when using encryption on top of compression. These attacks have been used against HTTPS. I don't know if they apply to this specific case, but I assumed that the restic developers were being extra paranoid.

I had this sitting in my dropbox a few years ago, and Dropbox decided (from the extension) that it was now a special file that I wasn't allowed to delete or move.

I used to do this in Jupyter, but switched to vscode. If you have comments that look like: # %% It will treat the following chunk of code like like a Jupyter cell and provide inline ui to run it. It’s almost the same thing as a not

Circa Y2k, I learned that the OSX Palm Pilot software didn't work with case sensitive. I've since given up and stuck with the default. (I'm anti-case folding in general, because of the ambiguity.)

I think they have this for school iPads, with special management software, but not available on the consumer side. I suspect they're pushing for you to buy a device per user. But even for a household without kids, I could see some util

I believe GIFs use LZW which is based on LZ78 - the one that builds a dictionary as it goes. (It's been decades since I looked at this one.) LZ77 emits verbatim text and instructions to go back x and copy y characters. A lot of compre

Back in college (90’s), we had a Solaris shop. One time after a long power outage we discovered that we couldn’t bring up the system because of a circular dependency. It’s been decades, something along the lines of a NIS server depending on

How does security work with this? It looks like the actors can talk to each other over the network, but I don't see any means of authentication.

You might be interested in the now defunct Mentat project from Mozilla. They made an EAV store with syncing on top of sqlite. It ran datalog queries by translating them into sql. https://github.com/mozilla/mentat

A lot of web sites have a chunk of json-ld in a script tag, which greatly eases recipe scraping. (I think they mostly do this for google search.)

My dad used to work on these towers in the midwest. Back in the day, he told me that they still had plenty of capacity, but AT&T had to switch to fiber after Sprint "dropped the pin".
