Personally I think comptime is a questionably design and is something both Rust & C++ did much better. In C++ branches that don't have to "compile" are explicitly marked as such with `if constexpr`. In Rust you've go

The other workaround is to reboot at least once every 3 years, which surely most users are doing anyway to pick up on security patches & similar. Exceptions definitely exist, but the workarounds are both pretty straightforward and you c

The most recent 10 years and that's exactly the point - we're plateauing on hardware advancements, so software inefficiencies are more of an issue now than ever before. 2x is now a huge change in performance. You're not get

> having almost native speed But it doesn't unless your "almost" is very generous. Java is pretty consistently 2-10x slower than the major performance-focused AOT offerings (C, C++, Rust) Now maybe you call 2x "almo

AOTs consistently do much more inlining & unrolling than JITs do. JITs often have preset heuristics for figuring out where to split the code that's practical to implement rather than being the most performant possible. After all, t

Nearly every consumer Intel CPU sold for the last 10 years has had unified memory between the CPU & GPU. Similarly nearly every Qualcomm, ARM, etc... SoC for the last 10+ years has had unified memory. This isn't a rare or new archi

Most zen4 consumer reviews didn't even have any Java benchmarks at all much less any that would have significantly changed the narrative around those CPUs. Epyc vs. Xeon is what this is about as the datacenter is the last holdout for O

A violent uncontrolled stop like that would be hard to get your bearings for the next burst of acceleration. Also a continuous acceleration along a curve is likely going to be faster regardless.

Of course it can. Just extract the qsort implementation to a static library pulled in by the kernel and by libc.

Uh, Pixel C? Google did the magnetically attached keyboard that turns it most of the way into a laptop long before Apple did. And the keyboard part worked great.

Do a search for Apple & Khronos and you'll find a lot more examples of spats between them over the last decade than anything else. Including an ongoing legal dispute. You also won't find any hint of involvement from Apple in a

AMD's Mantle is the direct precursor to Vulkan. AMD donated it to Khronos.

How is that evidence that Apple ever tried to engage with Khronos on a Metal-like API, though? Seeing as Apple had already stopped updating OpenGL versions about 4 years before the release of Metal, it seems more likely that Apple never pla

I think your doing your own revionist history here. The rumors are all that Apple is the one that blocked Khronos' initial attempts with the "Long Peaks" proposal that was supposed to become OpenGL 3. And while Metal was rele

Not quite. The main problem with Vulkan is, as the blog post goes into, one of usability . Vulkan isn't designed for end developers to use, it's designed for middleware vendors to use. Vulkan is already being pushed by many major

How do you effectively mandate that those building owners are maintaining their gas lines and ensuring they aren't leaking? This is where it stops being "personal responsibility" Also you personally can still have gas anyway,
