I believe this is how Zig works. Specifically the FixedBufferAllocator. It can further be paired with the ArenaAllocator to make management dead simple.

NewSQL is focusing on improving the infrastructure of databases. I want NextSQL to be about application development. Versioning, audit trailing, soft-deletes, privacy and data retention.

AWS is a poor example because they aren't remotely close to having the market dominance of Google. They are more like McDonalds: a huge fish in an ocean. AWS is huge in a segment (cloud) of the industry, but that segment represents a v

Similar boat, but I see a pretty big difference. Every time I have to fill out a FATCA form, I'm reminded of how much power the US government can wields over me - a non US citizen/resident.

In the face of these (and who knows what future) security issues, how are people still running on shared/cloud/vps servers?

To me, this essentially defines "the cloud" which exist because they've convinced CTOs that scaling is an infrastructure concern. The scaling of their primary business (amazon.com, google.com) is at least partially an infrast

I realize that, at best, this is only tangentially related to security, but nginx's logging is quite frustrating. It'll log something that's completely out of your control (like invalid SSL requests) as a [crit] You end up ha

A lot of OTP improvements benefit whatever version of Elixir you're using or you can access directly from the erlang library (e.g. When OTP 22 came out, you could use the new socket api (:socket.open(...)). But some additions require a

I never understood their reason for the verbose and unfriendly ergonomics: if a != b { t.Errorf("expected %s to be equal to %s", a, b) } Instead of something like: t.Expect(a).To.Equal(b) And, of course, it gets uglier when you&

That seems a bit unfair since I was replying to someone that was making positive generalization about Europe. Also, at the risk of moving the goalpost, having more trees than some arbitrary point in time isn't particularly reassuring.

How much energy and water goes into recycling? Collecting, sorting, processing? Trees grown explicitly for paper still require energy to plant, manage, cut and still represents a habitat loss. Europe has absolutely obliterated its forests.

I think we need this too, but I'm skeptical it would work. I'm afraid most of us don't know/trust enough people. For example, I'm considering buying a sofa from store X, but no one I know has ever bought from store

This seems revisionist, and while Sinofsky obviously has some authority on the subject, he likely also has a bias. The antitrust case was brought by the states because Microsoft's behavior "was not in the public interest." As

X world countries is antiquated, no? The events of the last few years (Brexit, Trump, BLM, COVID) should make anyone think twice about labeling one country as "first world" and another as "developing".

If the product is something engineers and UX use, then they'll probably _want_ to be a PM. If it's something they don't, you might need a PM. Having worked in both situations, many times, I'm pretty sure this is the most

I really think that 20-30 years from now, pollution will be linked as the cause of the new world of stupid and crazy. Microplastics, air pollution, water contamination and poor diet are going to be seen the same way lead now is.

They propose a solution for dynamic PGM indexes in the paper (section 3) and benchmark it (section 6). A summary is that, in their benchmark, their index is faster by 13%-71% in most cases, but can be slower (1%-15.2%) in a few cases. I agr

Yes, starting with Linux 5.2, a bunch of mitigations can be disabled with that 1 boot option. But that's just a small part of where the performance gain comes from. The real win is just recent, dedicated and non-virtualized hardware.

I think Google Cloud requires less domain-specific-knowledge, which is a big plus. And, as a consequence, you're less likely to end up with an expensive and complicated mess. But if price or performance or user privacy is a concern, no
