It hardly seems strange if Slava's main computer happens to be a mac. Do you have some reason to expect that the results would be substantially different on some other platform? As noted in the article these are mostly srather narrow pure c

Having an opinion is quite different from being biased though. The author has in the past been quite critical of Google maps (it seems like half the posts on that blog are complaints about some bit of Google maps visualization or another),

A 64 bit rewrite happened years ago. That's why they switched from CMUCL to SBCL.

ITA uses SBCL (for QPX) and Clozure CL (for QRES).

I'm sure there would at the very least be a very long transition. And even if the core program were kept as CL code, it could still be ported over to use a lot of neat Google infrastructure. An even more pressing question: what would happen

Has it really worked well in PCs? The average PC manufacturer is hardly rolling in money, unlike Apple. Nor is the average PC user likely to be too happy with their computer. Meanwhile in the Apple ecosystem both the normal user and the sup

I still use a fair amount of the novelties weekly if not daily a couple of years after they've been introduced. For example the fireman's poles are actually a great way of moving around. There's some nice outdoor spaces at the office too (i

If Apple were to buy my software for $9.99 and then sell it to consumers for $0.99 I'd be very happy. Of course the publisher should be free to set the wholesale price to whatever level they want, but Amazon should in turn be free to set th

When 95% of the runtime is spent in the benchmarking infrastructure rather than the benchmarked code, interpreting even the intra-implementation results is hard. Here's the results I get (benchmark, original, symbol-function lifted out of t

Unfortunately the numbers are rather misleading here, since the benchmark scaffolding he uses has very different performance characteristics on different implementations. He's passing the symbols naming the functions to test to time-tests,
