This reminded me of my experience handling the frontend side of Varnish using a RISC-V emulator. The most important thing is that the emulator is quick to bring up and quick to tear down. Almost zero syscall (10ns) and vmcall (4ns) overhead

Second that. HN is a great site that is one of the very few I check every day!

Is there any cacheable content? I'm working on high-performance compute on CDN software you can run yourself.

Not a lot of meat on this, but it looks nice from glancing at all the bits. I would recommend that you read the CPUID bits from the real CPU and copy most of them over so that the kernel can enable features like SSE4.x, AVX/AVX2 and va

I think ten years ago I had this problem when I was generating terrain types for a voxel world simulator (today everything with blocks is called 'Minecraft'), and I was trying very hard to explain my problem to a statistician at m

I get what you are saying, and that's why I am personally sticking with C++, and in the future Rust, but I can understand why many like the comfort of a simple language like Go. It has attracted many C developers who don't like th

That's very interesting to hear. Not least because Steam hosts your multiplayer sessions for any game now, so it could potentially be very seamless. There is so much potential here! I hope they work hard on their voice chat feature too

I agree. Having used Reddit for too long, and Facebook too before I deleted it completely, my experience has been that HN is much better at talking about things, and more careful about wording. Despite the predictable slippery slope comment

It was after the stroke. He really started enjoying mountain hiking and he still does. He keeps telling me that I need to take care of my body. That we aren't made for office life.

by fwsgonzo 5y ago
A close person suffered a stroke before 60 because of just that. It's the fastest way to die: Work in an office your whole life. Of course, now he's depressed and feels like he lost out on life by working too much, which is true.

It's my biggest gripe with current society. It's everywhere, and it's not going away. Nobody is tackling it, or talking about it seriously. At some point I thought that companies would become more powerful than states, but I&

Probably due to differences in standards, like wall isolation (I don't know the english terms). My house has 25cm isolation in the walls and 40cm isolation under the roof. I also have 3-layer windows and a thick metal door. The ventila

I think this is what I thought the Internet would be back in the early 2000s. Lots of sites operated by people who want to make useful stuff without having to report to someone else who doesn't even know he owns a share.

Sennheiser headsets tend to have a mechanical switch on the microphone arm that turns it on and off when you swing it. I like that part enough that I only buy those headsets now. I'm not sure if they continue the practice these days.

One thing I noticed is that Zig is not 1.0 yet, so perhaps it will still improve in those aspects you are thinking about?

by fwsgonzo 6y ago
I don't have much experience with Zig, but one thing that stuck out to me was that I was able to build for RISC-V with a one-liner. I didn't have to change or do anything at all to make this happen. That's so cool. In contras

And it's even more overhead when exiting a VM, then?

by fwsgonzo 6y ago
Have you considered trying to make system calls inline to avoid the call overhead? Or already thought about it? I've been banging my head against the wall of trying to make a micro KVM guest and the glibc startup code uses inline SYSCA
