That is exactly what I mean by not a standard, standards are usually a bit more stable in the flow of new features than I see with a specification. That all api have been independtly implemented is news to me as I have no knowledge of any s

Funnily enough at the sister museum to the Sinsheim Technology museum where they have a Tupolev they have a Buran shuttle https://speyer.technik-museum.de/en/spaceshuttle-buran

If you ever get around Sinsheim in Germany I would highly recommend a visit to the Sinsheim technology museum they have both a Tupolev [0] and a Concorde on top of their roof together with a lot of other interesting exhibitions. [0]: https

As it is now it seems to be quite under control of New Vector, Ithe company behind element. And it's not a standard yet still just a specification.

With POWER you at least have something like https://www.raptorcs.com/ Though I don't think they will be using POWER10, at least not this year anyways. https://twitter.com/raptorcompsys/status/

It could be really fun to have a desktop pc with a mainframe processor like that, though that is unlikely to happen. For now you can sign up at https://linuxone.cloud.marist.edu for access to a 2 vCPU LinuxONE vps running on on

The Z processors are really interesting in my opinion. I finally got around to running some benchmarks for the compression accelerator yesterday and the results are were pretty incredible resulting in up to 20 speedup for decompression and

Thought that the source code had been released, but it seems to still be missing for now. [0] There also does not seem to have been any updates the last half year, so its interesting it came up on Hacker News now. [0]: https://gi

Yeah something like this would be how I would like to see it, the trait is already there and is pretty much that (without the Copy bound though as that is not needed.) Hopefully it will end up public and can be implemented with a derive.

You may also have cases where no variant is 0 so this case is probably not as straightforward

Doing some further research you can make the optimized initialization of the WrappedByte vector by using it as a iterator. vec![0u8; len] .into_iter() .map(|x| WrappedByte(x)) .collect::<Vec<_>>() which will g

I think a proper solution would be to expose the trait `IsZero` [0] as that is used to figure out when it is correct to use `calloc` instead of having to do `malloc` -> `memset` [1]. I don't know if there is any plans for exposing t

Some months ago I ran into the same problem in slightly different clothing // 1st-way vec![0; len]; // 2nd-way std::iter::repeat(0).take(len).collect::<Vec<_>>(); As told about in the blog post

HackerNews would not really work in gemeni though as there are too strict limitation on how long urls can be and the only way to send data is by appending it to the url.

Does Google browsers not also require a restart to update? So are you not just running an outdated version with security vulnerabilities until you restart it?

That is pretty amusing, I also just received a mail from them telling me that my opinion was important to them. Heh

I used it when I was doing some porting of smaller programs to run on z/Architecture for example setting up the de/compression co-processor correctly. It's true that Linux on x86 or arm is not unusual, but this is Linux on Z

I think most major areas have their own public firebrigrade, if I remember correctly Falck will manage the smaller firestations though they are still manned by large with volunteers.

We have something similar in Denmark which is a agency under the defence ministry. Though compared to THW they are only around 1/3 volunteers, 1/3 conscripts not wanting to be in the military and the rest is normal payroll staff.

For bitcoin at the moment you have to move around $1300 before the fee is less than 0.2% And around $2400 for etherium. Which means that in the common use as a payment it will be more expensive. On top of that you get into questionable situ

The implementation got pulled from FreeBSD and a new implementation have been made by contributors including Donenfeld, though it will likely not end up in mainline FreeBSD before the next release.
