It definitely doesn't. Rust needs a GC for certain use-cases. I've been hoping for a while that somebody will do a port of Shenandoah or ZGC to Rust. It would be a lot of work but give Rust the best of both worlds

Lol I remember seeing this timeout issue years ago and immediately deciding I would never use Go for HTTP (which is what it was designed for). This makes Go vulnerable to numerous slow attacks and there's no way around it besides &quot

I've used a decent amount of Rust, that's not the case this time. Rust is a game changer. The effect of borrow checker and automatic RAII everywhere is profound. I'm convinced its going to fundamentally change low level langu

IMO its happening to languages that are no longer popular enough to maintain multiple frameworks. The difference with Ruby is that it was always mostly rails. I'm worried Ruby will descend into a Rails death spiral. Depending so heavil

Firefox is notably slower on many Google properties. Usually because they send you a crappier interface if you aren't using Chrome. Try one of the many browser extensions that spoof Chrome useragent. For me it makes a big difference on

to me, this sounds more like "Ruby tools don't have sane defaults unless you use Rails" Some examples from crufty Java world. You magically get connection pooling with any JPA provider. If you import a logging library, it mag

I used blender since the beginning. It makes me so happy to see it evolve over the years, first to open source then to a widely supported project. Donating my meager highschool pocket money to help buy the source code ended up being the mos

Competitors have a hard time getting off the ground because the dominant player is promoting its own products. Classic monopoly. Competition won't be good if nobody uses them. Google maps might be a good example, MapQuest and Terraserv

yeah a lot people can't do that. Specifically anyone caring for someone, so like 50% of adult population. A huge proportion of adults are caring for a parent or child. Its also impossible if you have any health problems, or need to sav

that's not what happened with OpenAI though. They're not a non-profit anymore, they changed to a "controlled profit" (lol) model. I didn't know this was even possible/legal. Start as a non-profit for all the ta

For fast languages like C# and Java many benchmarks are finished in a few seconds. By their tests, the warmup adds ~.3 seconds to these tiny programs. That's a long time, 10-20% in some benchmarks! In a couple benchmarks Java would pro

Benchmarks game doesn't do JIT warmup, which is extremely frustrating. The results are useless for long running server applications. It essentially benchmarks which VM can compile fairly fast code quickly, not which one produces the fa

I wonder what Oracle will think about this. Isn't this one of the "big" optimizations you only get with Graal EE $$$ right now? Its going to be ironic if external contributors keep C2 as on par with Graal EE.

GC is like malloc() but automated and done on multiple threads. With how low the pause times are with Java's new collectors (categorically not longer than malloc()), the only faster alternative is not allocating at all. Which you can d

3 weeks is laughable. It takes a few days to get a project properly configured with linting, CI, version control, database on front and back. 3 weeks is the reason that innovative projects usually die on the vine at established companies. P

Go's GC is notoriously low tech. Its design dates back to papers published in the 70s. Java's Parallel collector is most similar to Go's GC and its deprecated for removal due to poor performance. Go collects VERY frequently t
