It's not just the performance – it'd be nice if backends could take advantage of the fun new features like push, stream prio, etc. (Though with HTTP/3 around the corner, I can't imagine anyone will bother working on HTTP

Ceph's S3-compatible object store is a layer on top of its core distributed storage. There's also a block storage layer, which is used to run VMs. :-)

There are frequent protests against coal mining and for climate action. Turns out "carbon capture and storage" works after all, just on politicians, not coal.

But it only charges for each complete chunk. So < 256KB is free, 256KB is $0.09/1000, etc.

But what you've quoted is what's "kept under the hood" with today's library-level support for async traits.

"Do you know by heart?" is very much the wrong question though. :-) Benchmarking is surprisingly hard. After some digging, you might discover that you're actually measuring how long it takes to bring up a TCP connection, or h

X11 and its ecosystem of applications isn't abandoned by Wayland, because you can run an X11 server on Wayland. By all means, debate the merits of Wayland itself, but don't lean on inaccuracies and conspiracy theories.

They may not drive their enormous mining trucks on public roads, but they benefit from the society (including other public roads) that our taxes support. Plus it's absurd that we're incentivising the use of fossil fuels at all, le

It distorts the market by incentivising corn farming. Want to know why so many US farmers grow corn, lobby for bio ethanol fuel laws, and why an ungodly amount of US food is based on corn and corn byproducts (e.g. high fructose corn syrup)?

Spending money on a commodity isn't like buying a mainframe. And these are specific deductions and claims for fossil fuel products.

Australia subsidises vehicle fuel for use in coal mining[1]. It is totally bananas. [1] among other things but this is the most ridiculous

Knowing how stubborn and aloof Richard tends to be, it is a huge surprise that this has happened at all, let alone so quickly. I can only imagine there was an immense amount of pressure from the board, partner projects, and sponsors.

This was written by a loon who has been obsessed with his own conspiracy theories about Microsoft and Open Source for years. He had a whole thing going about Novell way back when they bought Ximian and SuSE. That's more than 15 years o

Improving the distribution developer experience was one of the early objectives of Ubuntu, and where it had the least amount of success. It's a pity, because perhaps the only useful thing you could get out of essentially forking Debian

Besides the fact that these are great exercises, often enough they also demonstrate solutions that are now possible thanks to Rust. e.g. ripgrep is faster and makes better use of available hardware (concurrency, SIMD) than grep – thanks t
