Reading the sibling comments, I realized that GitHub and SG have built tooling to index text, while Google have built tooling to index C++. cs.chromium et al experiences instantaneous dropoff from "wow this is kind of amazing" the

Since you've never disclosed where, that makes it possible for me to ask: what's the tech firm's policy - or, to reduce the number of bits of entropy in your answer, does it at least stipulate that you should disclose that yo

Seems to still be kicking around: https://github.com/dolphinsmalltalk/Dolphin Apparently last modified 8 days ago, with a history of infrequent but steady commits. Caveat: Unfortunately only talks about Windows.

Regarding the Percolator prototype's energy usage, that's a really interesting scheduling and coordination problem. I'm curious how you solved that - perhaps by teaching Borg to correlate CPU load with physical energy usage a

It's a niche use-case, but one of the things I've been curious about is nested virtualization using Firecracker as the outside VMM and KVM as the inner VMM (with QEMU being the sole userspace process running in the Firecracker VM)

Ah, well even if it's some super-obscure or internal thing, if it compiles down to C that doesn't mind POSIX you might still be able to Emscripten-ify it! (Part of my thinking with this solution is to broadcast "you are askin

Sigh I was just about to ask about MS-DOS 6.22, Windows 98, that sort of thing, and I think I figured out a bit more of the answer. 1. <Company> releases source code to old useless thing that's only of historical interest 2. Gi

I'm trying to calibrate a working mindset to get into the industry from a bit of a distance, so thanks for the feedback - and for engaging my somewhat hastily written comment :) I recently realized (light bulb moment) that cloud platfo

Most likely because the amount of furor and kerfuffle that would be created when "the security system broke" would basically be equal quantities of facepalm and hustle that would phase between canceling each other out and producin

Idea: alter the repo to add a diplomacy dimension with a few notches in it, and invite contributions of alternate wordings appropriate for different scenarios. (The focus being on creating an obvious void in the hope people fill it with ins

What are some sensible (coherent, load-bearing, force-multiplying etc) tools that have terrible adoption? Unreasonably open-ended question (suppose the scope is ML, or perhaps FP in general, or maybe even wider) - but I'm very curious.

This question potentially lacks the situational context necessary to provide the answer/insight it's really looking for. What's the SaaS going to look like technically? Lots of compute processing? Or maybe large volumes of da

If they were both the same version, things should technically work, at least on disk. ....ah, but if they were tripping over each other in memory I can see that going sideways. What exactly happened?

TIL there are scenarios where ^X doesn't just cut text. (Never used macOS. Welp. Guess I have a lot of relearning to do.)

(2001) I wonder what aspects have gotten worse over the years and how the dynamic has shifted, if at all. Or maybe it doesn't matter this was from 20 years ago? :<

What's the most pointless compiler optimization you're aware of? (Obviously a subjective question in practice, so chances are you might need to add a bit of qualification)

Let me know when you have the 1:1 µm-scale beach ball setup on the horizon! (I wonder what existing structures you could paint.)

FWIW chubbyemu on YouTube has a community tab, it's generally full of memes but maybe a question like this could work there. Not entirely sure.

It's a tricky idea but honestly one that sounds worth pursuing. I certainly wouldn't mind knowing where all the nice restrooms are hiding within a random city or suburban block (for example that the one on level 22 of a particular

Not sure if you'll see this - going through old tabs - but I was curious, and just in case: what are the practical differences between Xen and KVM here?
