Ignore the JS bashing (it is deserved but irrelevant here). I was referring to the part explaining the 2028-2040 METAL system where "we" gained 4% execution speed because we stuffed all things into a asm.js VM in kernel that can s

If nobody notices, did you really blow up the pipeline?

How do you best use this in practice? Quadtree-split the rendering area while checking edges?

9p-based folder sharing is (used to be?) possible with qemu, too.

Sounds quite simple already. I still wonder if for FLAC there's an equivalent of what QOI is to PNG.

How do you run Flink on it anyway?

A quick, entirely unrepresentative look at the user count for uBlock Origin and uBlacklist in Firefox make me somewhat less optimistic than you are. Or is there a more popular way of blocking sites from search results than uBlacklist out th

Roller coaster cars with electrical motors? I somehow like the idea. Could mess with Gs in one more direction.

Out of curiosity, are there any nuclear reactor cogeneration plants in operation?

Given that the potential disgruntled admin already has access to nukes, this seems useless.

Tinygo is neat, but the one time I tried to use it in practice, it failed me. The following program will panic when compiled to wasm: package main import "encoding/json" func main() { var parsed interf

I've misused it as a load generator before: yes '{"some":"json"}' | kafkacat -P -t bleh (Though in my case, ~100 MB/s were enough.)

Maybe. Or the language will fall into obscurity and everyone will just use the C compiler. I'm ignorant to the history here, but GCC includes Fortran, Ada, and D compilers, right? I don't see widespread adoption of those…

Open this thread in full, Ctrl+F, "Plutonium", read each post that hits and the one it answers to. That should answer those two questions.

I see some useless use of pv there. dd status=progress is neat.

The rest of hackernews seems to have decided that plutonium is a step on the way to solve the waste problem. What's your take on that?

Not only does the guide not mention it, it seems to actively disagree with you: > The cargo-outdated tool must be used to check dependencies status. Then, each outdated dependency must be updated or the choice of the version must be just

Hm, good point. (It's implemented as a Once (which is an atomic usize) and an UnsafeCell for holding the actual data.) And while using SyncOnceCell normally might incur some small checking overhead on each access, you can use it to obt

I think we may have different definitions of what significant power means. I managed to break the metal rod inside my plastic pedals one time… But yeah, I used an 8 speed hub gear with a toothed belt for ~7 years, which I don't see bre

Does this work with large semi-transparent objects? (My 10-year-old experience with 2D game engines was that 10k objects wasn't really a problem, unless you were trying to make clouds or fog from ~200x100px sized, half-transparent imag

ninja solves that parallelism-issue quite nicely. So do most IDEs.

I'm all for bashing autotools, but in this one case, I'd throw Symantec (SEP?) into the fire first. And the solution to all build systems being bad is imho not to use C/C++. It's model for platform independence is fundam

If that's the core proposition, yes, I want data on it. If that data is obvious and boring, then so is the proposition. Besides, the panel can't move, only rotate and tilt. Have you actually read the article? (With rotate and tilt
