Yeah, true_religion seems confused/misinformed.

Correctness is typically checked long before code generation happens. This does mean the code generation backend must be trusted, whether the target be x86 or wasm. Just as you have to trust CPUs to not expose processes' memory to each

Goroutines allow you to write async code ergonomically. Without those, you'd have to write callbacks, which is very unergonomic. Here's a before and after diff of some prototype async/await usage in Rust: https://g

Agreed, I wouldn't do a production web service purely in Rust yet, the ecosystem is still way too immature.

I worked on a high performance Rails API serving dynamically generated map tiles and our response times were actually lower than that. Sounds like an ideal case for fast response times honestly. I've seen rails endpoints like that ap

I've seen numerous big rails apps with times as long or longer, even after decent effort has been put in to optimize. Generally a case of having a lot of things on a page and rendering it all into html server-side (the classic/old

At my day job have an a prod analytics service with all the stuff you mention written in Rust + PG, and the Rust bit which handles data ingestion via HTTP and JSON is only about 5x faster than the equivalent Ruby code. Obviously, that was

Those Sinatra numbers look a lot better than I remember them being! But I wouldn't give that much credence to that, there's barely anything happening in those benchmarks and it seems to be testing things that have had a lot of opt

How does a "global resource manager" work and in what way is it better than RAII and garbage collectors? Googling wasn't helpful.

Had to re-read a few times, but the comparison just seems like a poorly worded attempt at a joke/insult.

I agree, not small (seems subjective), but still the smallest! The smallest leap is probably not very large :D

It's a joke. A quantum leap is what you say, but a quantum in physics is all about being the smallest discrete unit of some physical property such as energy.

I can't live without my vim bindings now, it's incredibly jarring anytime I have to use someone else's editor. The muscle-memory is just too strong, and configuring vim with a bunch of plugins is extremely easy to do and prov

Moreover, it's likely that a proper GAI would be able to ideate and come up with such concepts completely on its own. In fact, "lying" need not necessarily be a concept that has to be learned, the concept at play here is get

That's progress, but that's not exactly a home screen widget. Eg, I can see "20C" and an icon showing it's rainy right on my phone's home screen. I don't think you can do that with the web yet, hopefully p

As a many tabs user, I don't agree. The use case is more like a more visible bookmark, with history. Any tabs commonly used will already be loaded, and it is fine to lazy load tabs that are rarely used but kept open as reminders. It&#x

I think the "-only" part is the problem. Marketing and naming events for minority groups is fine, but they would ideally be welcoming of all groups not part of the minority. Now it might still seem slightly funny for any old perso

Applications may be able to do this in a controlled manner. Library authors never should.

IANAA (I am not a archaeologist), but I'm guessing the dating is based on the materials that encased / surrounded the artifact rather than the material of the artifact itself.

My understanding is that even SSDs perform somewhat better sequentially (throughput-wise), though the difference isn't quite as dramatic as with HDDs. That said, the 400 mb/s random write speed for nvme mentioned is plenty faster

To understand that an assignment doesn't run that slow, you need to be told that. Not really. You just try it, and notice it ran instantly. You don't really have to care how it happens to run behind the scenes, as long as you

You're probably thinking of heat engines. Extracting 100% efficiency from a heat source is impossible. That doesn't mean that near-100% of non-heat energy can't be converted to another energy type. Eg resistors pretty much c

You've got room scale setup with 3 cameras? Note that there were huge problems with the software a couple of releases ago that were recently resolved. Tracking is really smooth and solid right now for me personally on Oculus.
