I don't think you can really draw conclusions from an interim pick like this one. It's who they choose after the search that will tell you something. But things don't look good no matter who they choose. Unity has to become

No one is telling you what language to use for your purposes. Just trying to point out that not everyone has the same purposes, and therefore may correctly draw different conclusions.

That's linking to a performance issue, but the nodejs fixes were about memory leaks and use-after-free. So it sounds like different issues.

An open source maintainer isn't obligated to accept unasked for code. For all we know there were gaps or issues with the submitted code and not accepting it was the only reasonable response. Now, the maintainer could have made this guy

I guess it varies... I have ~50 files open in sublime right now, mostly small, but some fairly large (e.g. one is 600K), and I'm seeing 279MB in activity monitor. It was less, but I cycled through all my open files just to keep it hone

I’m bullish on SQLite, and this is mostly a great article, but this kind of stuff is flat-out misleading: > When you put your data right next to your application, you can see per-query latency drop to 10-20 microseconds. As if postgres a

If you want to interoperate with C and C++ and could either make people specify low-level details of the interface themselves or process C and C++ header files to do it automatically. Obviously the latter is a much better interoperability s

What do you think the difference is between “patching out free” and allocators as a first-class feature? I’ll bet you can think of a few rather significant ones if you try.

by jmull 3y ago
Yeah, I don't think it's right to say Zig doesn't have use-after-free and double-free safety. If you want that, you can just use a general purpose allocator. Note that you can't forget to choose an allocator since they a

4) is enough for me, so I agree with your general point, but 1) 2) and 3) aren't really cons for SQLite. 1) Makes sense only if the average XML parsers and zip libraries in use have fewer vulnerabilities and are actively maintained as

Um, yes. Let’s follow the thread here… Apple’s decision to switch to USB-C now might have to do with the EU mandated deadline to switch to USB-C. If the EU had not set a deadline, then Apple might have waited longer. The longer between sw

When Apple switched from the 30-pin connector to lightning, USB-C didn't exist. What you're suggesting just doesn't make sense.

Aren't we all going to start throwing away perfectly good lightning cables now? It's switching connectors that's wasteful, and the EU thing is causing more switching sooner. A better idea would have been to require Apple and

What a great visualization for this. I'd prefer to use space (or underscore) instead of T to separate the date and time parts, but generally stick with T to avoid problems with anything that can only handle ISO 8601 (and to be consiste
